Sony 1000X The Collexion Headphones

Featured Replies

Just in case anyone here still listens to headphones.

The Review

No USB-C audio? am dissapoint.

An apple airpod max pro 2 ultra or whatever they are called rival?

Well, it has the premium pricing, vs the XM6 (relatively) pleb version.

Amused.....  Several things stand out to me:

  1. They spent ten years getting it wrong, and now it's right?
  2. This ultimate peak seems like the intro to CD: perfect sound forever
  3. Japanese Hipster Marketers naming it "Collexion" does NOT resonate
  4. Japanese Hipster Engineers have funny hats 😄

No mention of being based on the Eggos?

Design & Build

  • The "Basic" Aesthetic: "They look like the default headphones NPCs wear in a low-budget video game from 2017."
  • The Fingerprint Magnet: "These headphones have a better memory for my oily fingerprints than I do for my passwords."
  • The Plastic Fantastic: "They cost a fortune but feel like they were made in a factory that primarily produces budget-bin lunchboxes."
  • The 'Incognito' Look: "They’re perfect if your goal is to look like an IT support worker who hasn't seen the sun in three fiscal quarters."

Function & Tech

  • The Touch Controls: "Sony’s touch controls are like a social experiment to see how quickly a user can accidentally skip a song while trying to pause it."
  • The Noise Cancellation: "The noise cancellation is so good, it’s the only thing keeping you from realizing that the music you're listening to is actually trash."
  • The 'Smart' Features: "They have so many 'smart' features that they spend more time trying to figure out what I’m doing than actually playing my music."
  • The "Wait, What?" Mode: "The 'Speak-to-Chat' feature is the technological equivalent of a nosy neighbor who won't stop interrupting you to ask if you're okay."

The "Audiophile" Perspective

  • The Sound Profile: "They sound like they were tuned by someone who thinks 'warm and balanced' is a synonym for 'underwater.'"
  • The Price Tag: "The best part about these headphones is how they make you feel—mostly poor, but at least you can't hear anyone asking you for a loan."

Google Pixel Buds be not so buddy-like with Sony. I detect an Alphabet-flavored conflict of interest connexion, Gemini.

Talk about some spicy takes. 🌶️

That's incredible. I insist that my leather be faux.
