A Decade of Silence: Sony Debuts the Ultra-Premium 1000X THE COLLEXION in the Philippines
For the past ten years, Sony's iconic 1000X line has served as the gold standard for Filipino remote workers, daily commuters, and frequent flyers seeking absolute sanctuary from external noise. Celebrating its landmark tenth anniversary, Sony has unveiled an entirely new direction for the franchise with the official launch of the 1000X THE COLLEXION.
Positioned strategically above the standard mainstream WH-1000XM6 tier, this model is deliberately engineered as a luxury statement piece rather than a basic utilitarian spec upgrade. Priced at PHP 36,999, it brings together studio-grade audiophile tuning and premium, jewelry-inspired material craftsmanship for the most discerning listeners in the country.
🎧 SONY 1000X THE COLLEXION HIGHLIGHTS
• Audio Innovation: Bespoke 30mm carbon composite drivers co-tuned by professional mastering engineers.
• Premium Architecture: Matte sandblasted metal accents, hand-polished gloss detailing, and plush faux leather.
• Intelligence Engine: Edge-AI powered DSEE Ultimate upscaling with HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3.
• Availability: Available now in Black and White colorways at Sony Centres and nationwide retail networks.
Rebuilt with the Ergonomics of Fine Jewelry
While previous generations focused heavily on progressive digital specs, THE COLLEXION targets real-world sensory fatigue. The physical chassis moves away from heavy plastic structures to incorporate curated metal accents, balancing tactile sandblasted matte surfaces with hand-polished high-gloss highlights.
To resolve long-session pressure points, Sony expanded and angled the earcups to significantly reduce contact with the ear, while widening the headband with thick, premium cushioning. These design overhauls transform the unit into a plush luxury piece that can easily be worn through an entire morning commute into an evening cross-border flight without physical strain.
Studio-Mastered Sound and High-End Walkman DNA
The acoustic engineering of THE COLLEXION introduces a completely custom 30mm bespoke driver featuring a high-rigidity dome forged from unidirectional carbon composite material. To achieve a pristine, expansive soundstage and clean instrument separation, Sony bypassed standard commercial tuning, choosing instead to co-tune the drivers alongside professional mastering engineers.
The headphone also marks the consumer lineup debut of DSEE Ultimate—an Edge-AI upscaling engine borrowed directly from Sony’s elite, high-end Walkman series to restore lost acoustic detail in compressed streaming audio. For high-resolution wireless playback, it utilizes LDAC high-res audio alongside seamless lossless wired support. Spatial audio is managed through a newly upgraded 360 Reality Audio Upmix system, which features dedicated profiling modes tailored for Music, Cinema, and Gaming environments.
Uncompromising Noise-Cancelling Heritage
Beneath its luxury finish, the headphone retains Sony’s elite silencing DNA, driven by the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3, an Integrated Processor V3, and a massive 12-microphone array that actively computes external noise in real time. Voice isolation is managed via an AI-powered beamforming matrix designed to cleanly isolate vocals against the backdrop of chaotic commuting or coworking spaces.
The device features up to 24 hours of active noise-cancelling playback on a single charge, with a 5-minute quick charge delivering 1.5 hours of emergency juice.
Following a highly successful pre-order window, general retail claiming and purchasing are officially live through July 6, 2026, across Sony Centres and authorized retail partners, including Digital Walker, Beyond the Box, Abenson, Electroworld, Datablitz, and Sony's official flagship e-commerce hubs.
