Sony’s 1000X The Collexion are a luxurious and expensive celebration of its iconic headphones

Ten years ago Sony introduced the MDR-1000X headphones . They combined noise canceling, good sound, design, and comfort in a way that we hadn't quite seen before in a set of wireless headphones. (At the time, the Bose QC35 were the closest competitor, but I wasn't a huge fan of their sound tuning.) The 1000X set off a line of consistently excellent wireless noise-canceling headphones that became the go-to for comparisons - I still have a pair of WH-1000XM4 s that hang on the side of my desk.
