‘Exceptionally expansive, and almost hypnotic audio’: I reviewed Sony’s The Collexion ultra-premium headphones, and they wowed me with delightfully detailed sound — but can they topple Apple’s AirPods Max 2?
The Sony 1000X The Collexion may be expensive, but their luxurious build, detailed sound, and top-tier comfortability help to justify their price tag. Their battery life is on the low side, and the ANC is a step down from what we saw on the Sony WH-1000XM6, but if you want headphones with the kind of spacious sound that made Apple’s AirPods Max a hit, but without being locked to Apple, then these are a strong choice.
Pros

- +Incredibly comfortable
Cons
- -Underwhelming 360 Upmix modes
- -Battery life is on the lower side
- -Noise cancellation is a step down from WH-1000XM6
