Amid continued expansion in the high-end audio segment, a major electronics brand is reportedly preparing to introduce a new premium product in its flagship lineup.
Sony is expected to launch a new high-end audio device under its 1000X-series, with early reports pointing to a model called “1000X The ColleXion.” The development follows the recent launch of the WF-1000XM6 true wireless earbuds and about 9 months after the debut of the WH-1000XM6 headphones.
According to a report by Dealabs, the name “1000X The ColleXion” was earlier spotted in trademark filings in Japan and Canada by TheWalkmanBlog. The filing covered categories such as headphones, earphones, and portable audio players, indicating its place in Sony’s premium audio portfolio. No major leaks had surfaced since the filing until now.
The upcoming “1000X The ColleXion” is expected to be a high-end over-ear headset and may initially launch in a single black colour option. Reports suggest the device could be priced at EUR 629 (around Rs. 67,600) in Europe, which is significantly higher than the WH-1000XM6, launched at EUR 449 (around Rs. 44,200).
This pricing indicates a more exclusive positioning, possibly as a limited edition or collector-focused product rather than a direct successor to existing models.
The report also suggests that Sony may unveil the ColleXion headset on May 19 in Europe and other markets. More details about specifications are likely to be revealed closer to the launch date.
In addition, Sony is said to be preparing a new colour variant for the WH-1000XM6. The new finish, reportedly called Sandstone, is described as a sandy beige shade and is expected to launch on the same day. It is likely to be priced in line with existing colour options such as Black, Midnight Blue, and Platinum Silver.
