Sony premium audio – Sony is working on a new premium audio product that may soon join its 1000X-series of headphones, with early details suggesting the arrival of a high-end model. This development comes months after the company launched the WF-1000XM6 true wireless earbuds and almost nine months after the debut of its flagship WH-1000XM6 headphones, signaling the continued expansion of its high-end wireless audio range. The upcoming device is expected to target the premium segment, with the report indicating a different positioning compared to the existing models in the lineup.
Sony’s ‘The Colaxion’ headphones could cost more than 600 euros, according to a report (in French) from DeLabs The name “1000X The Colaxion” was previously spotted in trademark filings in Japan and Canada by The WalkmanBlog. The filing includes categories like headphones, earphones and portable audio players, which suggests that it belongs to Sony’s premium audio segment. Since the trademark was revealed, there have been no leaks or reports about the product so far.
The upcoming Sony 1000X The ColleXion will reportedly be a high-end over-ear headset. Initially it is expected to be launched in a single black color option. The report says that the headset could be priced at EUR 629 (roughly Rs.
67,600) in Europe, which is significantly higher than the Sony WH-1000XM6, which was launched at EUR 449 (roughly Rs. 44,200). This pricing is claimed to be a more niche positioning, possibly as a limited edition or collector-focused product rather than a direct successor.
The publication also claims that Sony may launch the ColleXion headset in Europe and other markets on May 19. More details about its specifications are likely to be revealed closer to the launch date.
Along with this, the report says that Sony is also preparing a new color variant for Sony WH-1000XM6. The new finish, reportedly called Sandstone, is described as a sandy beige shade and is expected to launch on the same day. The report suggests that it will be priced similar to the existing color options, i.
e. Black, Midnight Blue, and Platinum Silver.
