Sony WH-1000X The ColleXion price in the Philippines

Sony has released the new WH-1000X The ColleXion edition to celebrate the headphone’s 10th anniversary. The Sony 1000X The ColleXion is currently the best entry to the whole series. It inherits many of the tech already found on the WH-1000XM6, but with tons of improvements and, of course, a more premium build quality. It uses synthetic leather material that’s a throwback to its ancestor, the MDR-1000X. It also boasts deeper and wider ear pads, a larger and wider headband for better comfort, and new stainless steel yokes that rotate and extend. Sadly, it no longer folds and only swivels. On the upside, Sony has designed a new case that has an integrated handle.

It was also co-tuned with engineers from Sterling Sound, Coast Mastering, and Battery Studios. It supports 360 Upmix and spatial audio profiles. The AI-powere...
