Sony Philippines has officially launched the 1000X THE COLLEXION, a premium over-ear headphone line that’s part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the 1000X series. The device blends a fashion-forward design with the audio and noise-canceling strengths the lineup is known for.
Design Focused on Comfort
The new model is designed to balance aesthetics and everyday wearability. It features premium-finished metal accents, refined faux leather, and a minimalist look available in Black and White. The headset also includes ergonomics-focused details such as cushioned earcups and a wider headband, which are intended to improve comfort during long listening sessions.
The materials and finish were chosen to give the product a more luxurious feel. For instance, the headband uses premium metal with a matte sandblasted texture and hand-polished gloss, while the soft faux leather was developed over two years to help maintain a clean, seamless appearance. Integrated metal buttons and microphone openings further support the streamlined design.
Audio and Noise Cancelling
1000X THE COLLEXION has DSEE Ultimate, an Edge-AI-based technology that restores detail in compressed digital music files in real time. It also supports 360 Reality Audio Upmix, with separate Music, Cinema, and Game modes that can be adjusted through the Sony Sound Connect app. Users can access these settings through the Listening Mode button and customize them for different listening needs.
For sound quality, the headphones feature a bespoke driver unit with a soft edge and a high-rigidity dome made from unidirectional carbon composite material. This is designed to improve instrument separation, high-frequency detail, and soundstage width. Sony worked with GRAMMY award-winning and nominated mastering engineers to fine-tune the sound, so you get smooth vocals, balanced instruments, and nuanced dynamics.
Noise-canceling performance follows the 1000X family’s established approach. The model uses Multi-Noise Sensor technology with 12 microphones and an Adaptive NC Optimizer to adjust cancellation based on the surrounding environment. The device offers high-quality call performance, intuitive controls, and seamless connectivity.
Battery, Sustainability, and Price
Battery life is rated at up to 24 hours with noise canceling enabled and Bluetooth on, and up to 32 hours with noise canceling turned off. The headphones use recycled materials in selected components, come in plastic-free packaging, and have accessibility-focused features intended to make operation more intuitive.
The Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION is available at Sony Centers and authorized dealers across the Philippines for PHP 36,999. Buyers can choose between Black and White. For more information, click here.
