Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION Over-Ear Wireless Headphones - Black

Comfort and Amazing Sound Combined with Clarity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sony 1000xx review First impressions of my new headphones, is that they are constructed very well with premium materials with a very smooth sliding adjustment for the ear cups. Straightforward connectivity through the Sound Connect App that walks you through the set up process. On listening to my first track that was bass heavy the 1000XX had full control with no reverberation when I cranked up the volume, with tight mids and tight trebles, these headphones were in complete control of my listening experience and gave warm but also bright clarity to the sound. With Noise cancelling turned on you're enveloped into a world of your own that blocks out a good percentage of outside noise and with your favourite track or podcast playing then you're totally isolated from the outside world around and can listen intently to your favourite sounds. A highlight of the headphones is the addition of Google Gemini which as most know, ask it anything and you'll get a reply also you can control your smart home with a simple instruction of Hey Google by touching the side of your ear cup. And as an added touch the headphones come in a protective case to keep your valuable asset safe from damage

Sony Collexion 1000X Headphones - so impressive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Sony Collexion 1000X headphones for a couple of weeks now, and I can honestly say they’ve exceeded my expectations. I have the White headphones (WH-1000XX), from the moment I put them on, I noticed how comfortable they are. The ear cushions are soft, the headband is well cushioned and so well built, and I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. So impressed with the build quality of these headphones. The sound quality is excellent. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or watching movies, everything sounds clear, detailed, and well-balanced. The bass is deep without being overwhelming, while the mids and highs remain crisp and natural. One of my favorite features is noise cancellation. It does a great job of blocking out background sounds, making it easier to focus when working, studying, or traveling. Even in busy environments, I can enjoy my music without distractions. Using these headphones in conjunction with the Sony Sound Connect App, adds to the user experience, allowing customization of so many settings, Noise Cancelling, Graphic Equalizer style adjustment to Bass, Mid and Treble frequencies, Presets for styles / types of listening. Battery life has also been impressive. I rarely have to worry about charging them, and when I do, the seem to charge so quickly, which is incredibly convenient. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, making it simple to adjust volume, skip tracks, or answer calls. Gesture style control on the right ear cup is great to skip tracks and adjust volumes etc., such a good feature to save getting your phone from your pocket each time. The quality of the build feels premium, and the headphones look sleek and modern. They fold easily for travel and come with a sturdy carrying case, which is a nice bonus. Overall, the Sony Collexion 1000X headphones deliver a fantastic combination of comfort, sound quality, noise cancellation, and battery life. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable pair of wireless headphones.

Premuim Headphone full of functionallity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having received the Sony WH-1000XX headphones from Sony for reviewing I was immediately impressed by the quality and premium aspects of the headphones. Minimal outer packaging is used and all appears to be recyclable. The headphones themselves are contained within a small case that bears a resemblance to a sandwich toaster. Documentation consists of the usual contact details, statutory notices and a small quick start guide that provides sufficient information to get started with the headphones. A full user guide is available from the Sony website for downloading (103 pages) this contains detailed instructions and guidance of the many features of the headphones. Controls for the headphones are via three physical buttons and a touch sensitive surface on the back of the headphones. The three buttons control (1) on, off and pairing, (2) sound enhancement and (3) ambient sound and noise cancelling). Pairing is not an issue and quickly achieved on Android devices (not tried on IOS). Sound enhancement cycles between standard, music and cinema with a pleasant voice confirmation of the current setting. All three settings provide clear music reproduction with the music and cinema modes providing additional listening enhancements. The ambient noise and noise cancelling switch between allowing external noises to be heard or full noise cancelling which is excellent, when sat next to a radio playing music, using the noise cancelling function completely cancelled out the radio to provide perfectly clear reproduction of my own music. The on and off button also provides spoken confirmation of the battery level when switching the headphones on. Charging is via a USB C socket on the base of one of the earpieces. The touch sensitive surface of the headphone (right) adjusts volume and forward or back for track selection. The headphones can be connected to a phone and allow for phone calls to be taken on the headphones (not tested). The materials used to manufacture the headphones shout quality from the soft leather like material covering the earpieces and headband (nicely padded) to the sandblasted metal linking the earpieces to the headband. The headphones are adjustable to accommodate personal preferences and sit comfortable over the ears without discomfort even fro extended periods. I used the headphones for three hours on the hottest day of the year (so far) without any discomfort. Music reproduction is excellent and highlights previous aspects of music not audible in the past. Using the Sony Sound Connect app allows for a full range of adjustments to all aspects of performance and also allows for updating of the headphones in the future. Would I recommend these headphones? Yes i would, they are a considered purchase, but I am certain that they will provide the user with quality music reproduction for years, anyone looking for quality, functionality and good looking headphones will not be disappointed.

Next level sound quality

Bought this immediately I saw it release because i was considering the xm6 based on a friend's set but these seemed even better, and they have been amazing. Great EQ range, noise cancelling is equal to that of xm6. The reduced battery life which everyone made a fuss about doesn't change anything because they charge so quick.

Most comfortable Sony headphones.

I dont really see much of sound difference between these n xm6, but comfort is on next level.

Great pair.

Impulse buy turned one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. I already have the XM5 in black but the titanium XX looked gorgeous. Had to have them. They feel and sound how they look.
