If you love tech that actually makes you feel more comfortable, you need to try the new Sony 1000X The Collexion headphones for yourself. They’re the latest over-ear headphones from the tech titan that look to impress with active noise cancellation that silences the world around you. That said, their arrival is also a major surprise, as the amazing Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones just came out last year. So, why did Sony feel the need to release a new model?
In addition to this being the 10th anniversary of this line of headphones (hence the incorrect spelling of “collection”), Sony’s using this release to address certain complaints about comfort when it comes to noise-canceling over-ears. Often, these headphones work so hard at muffling the sounds around you that they wind up exerting more pressure on your head and ears than you’d like. Sony’s 1000X The Collexion headphones look to solve this problem by slightly changing the design and feature set but threading the needle on comfort. Here’s what I’ve learned after I spent three weeks with them to see — and hear — if they’re actually worth their hefty price, not to mention a place in your everyday carry.
An elevated design you can feel and will probably love
