Sony unveiled a luxury spin‑off of its flagship WH‑1000 series, the ColleXion, slated for May 19. Leaked images from @onleaks and HotEUDeals show the set in white and black, each with metal accents and padded earcups that give it a more premium look. The headphones also ship with a four‑foot 3.5‑mm cable and a sculpted carrying case for travel.

Inside, the ColleXion promises 24‑hour battery life with ANC, six‑microphone AI beamforming, and an adaptive noise‑cancellation optimizer that Sony claims delivers studio‑grade sound. Design tweaks include new earpad buttons and microphone grilles, while the metal‑accented black version replaces chrome with matte black. The package also features a magnetic catch that keeps the case closed for users who value premium audio.

Priced at $649, the ColleXion sits $200 above Sony’s current WH‑1000XM6, positioning it against high‑end competitors like Bowers & Wilkins. For audiophiles willing to pay a premium, the added metal detailing, extended battery, and AI‑driven noise control could justify the jump. Sony’s move signals an effort to cement a luxury niche within its already dominant headphone lineup for discerning buyers.
