Sony’s premium ColleXion headphones are expected to break cover soon. These high-end, ultra-premium wireless headphones will sit at the top of the current headphone lineup. The headphones are expected to be announced on May 19, as revealed by the Sony New Zealand and Sony Australia websites, and hence the launch date may not be far behind.

In the past, Sony has often used the expression “mastering the art of listening” with these headphones. The alt text description of the headphones also confirms that they will be available in white. Beyond that, Sony has also listed the model name, which is WH-1000X “The ColleXion.”

While Sony has not yet revealed the prices, initial leaks suggest that they could be over $630. If these prices are any indication, the ColleXion headsets will be around $200 more expensive than Sony’s other top-end wireless headphones, such as the WH-1000XM6, which generally retail for around $430 at full price. The design is expected to be similar to that of other headphones in the WH-1000X line.

Other reports reveal that the new headphones will have active noise cancellation managed by the MediaTek MT2855 system-on-a-chip. Beyond that, this time around, the headphones will reportedly be manufactured in Vietnam. The upcoming headphones are expected to be more expensive than the Sony WH-1000XM6, which launched at $450.

The information that was revealed on the microsite was soon taken down after being uploaded. The original Sony MDR-1000X launched back in 2016, and this now marks the 10-year anniversary of the 1000X series. The model number WH-1000XX branding appears to be a nod to that milestone.
