Sony released the WH-1000XX Collexion, a special anniversary noise-cancelling headphone celebrating a decade of the 1000X series. The design aims for a plusher, slimmer, more comfortable fit and improved sound quality by combining comfort, sound, and technology from the last six 1000X iterations. The headphones are not intended to replace the WH-1000XM6, but to provide a more luxurious alternative. Smooth metal arms and plush pleather replace hard plastics, with polished and sandblasted stainless steel components. The ear cups are redesigned with more space for the ear and thicker, softer cushions. The headband spreads load across the head while maintaining a lighter clamping force for stability.

"The form of the 1000XX isn’t a complete departure from its siblings. But they do not fold for travel and are less bulky, with 5.3mm thinner ear cups and a more slender-looking headband. The headphones are covered in a high-quality pleather material and have highly polished and sandblasted stainless steel arms — no hard plastic in sight. Everything about them is smooth, from the sliding of the resizing arms to the feel of the metal."
"But the most luxurious parts are the redesigned ear cups, which have more space for your ear and plusher cushions than standard Sony headphones. The sleek headband squishes out across your head when you put them on to spread the load, while a lighter clamping force on your head still keeps the headphones in place but without any undue p"
