Mashable's headphones reviewer spent weeks with the Sony 1000X the Collexion headphones to see if they were worth the high price point.

I found 1 major reason to shell out $650 for the Sony 1000X the Collexion headphones

Upon beginning my review of Sony's priciest consumer headphones yet, I anticipated a superior auditory experience. However, I was astounded by the exceptional spatial audio I encountered, even as someone who has been disappointed by such features in the past. It is worth noting that the Sony 1000X the Collexion headphones carry a hefty price tag of $649.99, approximately $200 more than the WH-1000XM6 headphones.

The reason for the excitement surrounding these headphones is that they commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 1000X line, hence their somewhat unconventional name. While the brand does deliver on some of its finest features in the Collexion headphones, the high price point suggests that the experience may cater to a niche group of individuals who prioritize sound and aesthetics above all else.
