Not long ago, I wrote a news brief announcing the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION limited-edition headphones after attending a product briefing with Sony’s engineers. Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION wireless headphones are available in white or black. I had reviewed the press materials, and the Sony engineer I spoke with wore a pair of THE COLLEXION headphones during our briefing. The engineer had already acknowledged that the less expensive WH-1000XM6 offered slightly better active noise cancellation, which has historically been one of the biggest reasons consumers buy Sony’s 1000X headphones.
