Engadget5/18/2026

Summary

Sony is set to unveil its luxury 10th anniversary headphones, named "ColleXion," which are expected to be launched soon. Leaked images have surfaced, revealing the design and features of these headphones, which are part of the 1000X series and carry the model number WH-1000XX. The images were shared by OnLeaks and HotEUDeals, providing a clear view of the headphones ahead of their official announcement. The leaked renders indicate that the ColleXion headphones will feature thicker leatherette padding and generously sized earcups, distinguishing them from Sony's current WH-1000XM6 series. The headband appears to have a more pillowy design, suggesting enhanced comfort for users. Additionally, the headphones are highlighted for their "studio-grade" sound quality, which is a significant selling point for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. The ColleXion name was previously noted when it briefly appeared on Sony's websites in April, although no images were available at that time. The anticipation surrounding these headphones is heightened by their luxury designation, which suggests a premium experience in both design and audio performance. As the launch date approaches, more details about the specifications and pricing may become available.
