Sony 1000X The Collexion review: More luxurious, but far from perfect

Key points

• The 10th anniversary edition of the 1000X headphones have by far the lineup's most luxurious design yet.
• Sony completely ditched the plastic for a new look that's entirely leather and metal.
• The company also revised the size adjustment sliders and headband, but the ear cups on this new model only rotate flat.
• They don't fold in towards the headband like the WH-1000XM6. In addition to the materials and mechanisms, Sony slimmed down the overall profile of the ear cups for a less bulky look.
• The company says it also increased the inner volume of the ear cups and widened the headband, both of which it did to improve comfort.
