Save 40% Off the Sony WH-1000XX "The Collexion" Stainless Steel Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones

Sony's WH-1000 lineup is renowned for offering some of the best wireless noise-canceling headphones on the market, with the current generation model being the WH-1000XM6. However, not as widely known is the WH-1000XX The Collexion, a higher-end headphone in the lineup that was released earlier this year. It typically retails for a steep price of $649, but Secondipity, via eBay, is currently offering a certified refurbished pair complete with a two-year Allstate warranty for just $389, which represents nearly a 40% discount.

Reviewers from Secondipity, a reputable Sony liquidator, state that the certified refurbished headphones are virtually identical to brand new units.

The WH-1000XX boasts several upgrades over its predecessor, the WH-1000XM6. Its most noticeable enhancement is its design and build quality. The headphones feature a robust metal frame that is nearly entirely wrapped in hand-brushed stainless steel and vegan leather, with minimal plastic components. Comfort has also been improved through wider padded headbands for even weight distribution and oversized earcups designed to surround rather than press against the ears.

Additionally, the headphones incorporate custom-designed and tuned 30mm carbon composite dynamic drivers paired with Sony's latest Integrated Processor V3. In contrast, the WH-1000XM6 is still equipped with the previous generation V2 processor. Other improvements include support for spatial surround sound, DSEE Ultimate audio upscaling, and Bluetooth 6.0 with Multipoint connectivity.

The headphones also include the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3, which manages a 12-microphone array for superior voice clarity. Battery life is commendable, lasting up to 24 hours of continuous playback, and the USB Type-C quick charge feature provides 1.5 hours of playtime after just 5 minutes of charging. Lastly, the headphones come in an elegant case with a molded-in handle, offering greater practicality compared to the one that accompanies the WH-1000XM6.

At this price point, the WH-1000XX is also more affordable than purchasing a new WH-1000XM6.
