Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION WH-1000XX Premium Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones – QN3 Processor, 12 Mics, 24H Battery, Platinum

The Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION WH-1000XX Platinum is the tenth-anniversary edition of the 1000X line, and it is the most carefully finished pair of headphones Sony has put its noise cancelling technology into. This is not a refresh of the WH-1000XM6 – it is a separate model, WH-1000XX, built alongside it with a bespoke driver, a hand-finished metal and vegan-leather construction, and tuning signed off by Grammy-winning mastering engineers. Totot stocks the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION WH-1000XX Platinum as sealed, original Sony stock with a one-year warranty in the UAE.

How the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION WH-1000XX Platinum sounds

The driver is the part Sony changed most. The Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION WH-1000XX Platinum uses a newly developed unidirectional dome with a soft edge and a high-rigidity carbon composite centre, which is a way of saying the diaphragm stays stiff where it needs to move as one piece and stays compliant where it needs to stop ringing. In listening terms that shows up as a cleaner midrange and bass that stops when the note stops rather than smearing into the next one.

Behind it sits the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 paired with a new Integrated Processor V3. DSEE Ultimate uses edge AI to restore detail lost in compressed streaming, and 360 Reality Audio Upmix takes ordinary stereo and spreads it, with separate profiles for music, cinema and game. LDAC is supported for high-bitrate wireless, and LE Audio is there for lower latency on compatible phones.

Noise cancelling and calls

Twelve microphones feed the noise cancelling system on the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION WH-1000XX Platinum, and the Adaptive NC Optimizer keeps adjusting to your surroundings and to how the earcups are actually sitting on your head rather than assuming an ideal seal. The result is quiet that holds up on a plane, in an open-plan office and on a Dubai street without you touching a setting.

For calls, AI beamforming isolates your voice from the road and the wind. Speak-to-Chat pauses playback when you start talking, wear detection stops the music when you take the headphones off, and Bluetooth multipoint keeps a laptop and a phone connected at the same time so a call can land on either. Swift Pair and Fast Pair both work, so the first connection takes seconds.

Design and materials

Sony spent roughly two years developing the vegan leather used across the headband and earcups of the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION WH-1000XX Platinum, and paired it with matte sandblasted metal that is then hand polished. The two colours are Black and Platinum, and both use the same finishing process. Around a quarter of the plastic in the product is recycled, and the packaging is plastic free.

A rigid carrying case is included. The earcups fold flat into it, and the case is shaped so the cable and the airline adapter sit alongside rather than pressing against the drivers. This is the part that separates the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION WH-1000XX Platinum from the standard line – the materials are chosen to age well rather than simply to hit a weight target.

Battery and charging

Sony rates the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION WH-1000XX Platinum at about 24 hours of playback with noise cancelling active, and about 32 hours with Bluetooth only and cancelling switched off. A five-minute charge is enough for roughly three hours of listening, which covers the case where you pick them up on the way out of the door.

Charging is over USB-C. You can keep listening while charging, and a wired 3.5mm connection is available for aircraft entertainment systems or for a studio interface.

Who the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION WH-1000XX Platinum is for

If you already own a WH-1000XM6 the honest answer is that the noise cancelling is in the same class – what you are paying for with the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION WH-1000XX Platinum is the driver, the materials and the anniversary tuning. If you are coming from an XM4 or older, or from any mid-range pair, the jump is large in every direction at once.

It is the right pair for long flights out of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, for open offices, and for anyone who wants a single set of headphones that handles a commute, a call and a serious listening session without compromise. Only two colours exist, so pick between the Black and the Platinum and know that both are the same product underneath.
