When it comes to the best headphones, Sony has long been at the top of its game. Indeed, it's been a decade since the brand launched its first 1000X headphones – and that's precisely why 'The ColleXion', on test here, has a numeral central in its name.
However, the 1000X The Collexion isn't just the brand's WH-1000XM6 noise-cancelling champs with a facelift. Far from it. These headphones are all-new, designed from the ground up, with a focus on luxury – and a keen eye on key competitors, from Apple's AirPods Max 2 to Bowers & Wilkins' Px8 S2.
