Sony 1000X The ColleXion | 30mm Carbon Composite Drivers | 12-Microphone Noise Cancelling | 24-Hour Battery | Bluetooth 6.0
Stainless steel hinges, soft vegan leather padding and a decade of over-ear listening refinement in one pair.
Condition: New

The Sony 1000X The ColleXion is now available at Mascom International for KSh 104,000, brand new and sealed, with 30mm carbon composite drivers and 12-microphone noise cancelling. It plays up to 24 hours on one charge. Sony released it in May 2026, under model code WH-1000XX, to mark ten years of its 1000X headphone line. The Sony 1000X The ColleXion runs on the QN3 noise cancelling processor and the Integrated Processor V3, and connects over Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC support. You can try a pair at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for executives, lawyers, consultants and frequent flyers across Kenya, the Sony 1000X The ColleXion answers a common problem: headphones that sound good but feel tiring after two hours. Its wider, softer headband and roomier earcups spread the 320g weight, so long calls and long flights stay comfortable. Open-plan offices in Upper Hill and Westlands are loud, and the 12 microphones cut that chatter so you can focus on a contract or a spreadsheet. When the Sony 1000X The ColleXion runs low before a meeting, five minutes on the charger gives about 1.5 hours of playback.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell headphones sealed and unseen, Mascom International lets you wear the Sony 1000X The ColleXion in store before you pay. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want to feel the clamp and the earpads first, and at this price that makes sense. Sony built the frame with stainless steel hinges, stem and buttons, and the earpads snap off for replacement when they wear. Visit us on Kimathi Street, or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya, with same-day delivery across Nairobi and its environs.
Common Questions About the Sony 1000X The ColleXion
How much is the Sony 1000X The ColleXion in Kenya?
The Sony 1000X The ColleXion costs KSh 104,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the headphones, the carrying case with its built-in handle, and the 12-month warranty through Mascom International. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you check the sealed box before any money changes hands. It costs KSh 64,000 more than the WF-1000XM6 earbuds we also stock, and the gap buys full over-ear cups, stainless steel construction and much larger 30mm drivers.
How does the Sony 1000X The ColleXion compare with the WH-1000XM6?
The Sony 1000X The ColleXion trades some battery and portability for better materials, comfort and treble detail than the WH-1000XM6. It runs up to 24 hours on a charge against 30 hours for the WH-1000XM6. Its carbon composite drivers bring out cymbals and strings more clearly, and stainless steel takes the place of plastic at the hinges. The WH-1000XM6 folds smaller and clamps tighter, which blocks a little more sound passively. Pick the WH-1000XM6 for travel bags and battery; pick the Sony 1000X The ColleXion for daily comfort and build.
How long does the Sony 1000X The ColleXion battery last during KPLC power cuts?
The Sony 1000X The ColleXion plays up to 24 hours with noise cancelling on, enough for about three eight-hour working days. That matters when KPLC power cuts hit Nairobi estates or Kisumu offices for an evening. Charge it fully at night and a short outage will not leave you without music or calls. If you forget, five minutes on a USB-C power bank gives about 1.5 hours of playback. Mascom International stocks compatible power banks and wall chargers if you need a backup.
Who should buy the Sony 1000X The ColleXion, and who should skip it?
The Sony 1000X The ColleXion suits listeners who wear headphones for hours each day and value comfort, metal build and refined sound. Executives, lawyers, music producers and frequent flyers between Nairobi and Dubai get the most from it. Skip it if you train at the gym, run outdoors or want something that fits in a pocket, since it weighs 320g and does not fold small. For those buyers, the WF-1000XM6 earbuds at Mascom International cost KSh 40,000. Tighter budgets suit the WF-1000XM5 at KSh 26,000.
Does the Sony 1000X The ColleXion work with iPhone and Android phones?
Yes, the Sony 1000X The ColleXion pairs with any iPhone, Android phone, laptop or tablet that has Bluetooth. It supports SBC, AAC, LDAC and LC3 codecs, which are the formats a phone uses to send music over the air. iPhones use AAC, which sounds clean on Apple Music and Spotify. Many Android phones from Samsung, Xiaomi and Oppo support LDAC, which carries more audio detail for high-resolution files. Bluetooth 6.0 and Auracast support also prepare it for broadcast audio features as phones and venues adopt them.
Is the Sony 1000X The ColleXion good for long flights and office work?
The Sony 1000X The ColleXion is well suited to long flights and full office days because comfort was the main design focus. The headband is wider and more cushioned than on the WH-1000XM6, and the earcups are about 5mm thinner and roomier inside. The 12 microphones and the QN3 processor reduce engine drone on a Nairobi to London flight. Note that the lighter clamp lets in slightly more outside sound than the WH-1000XM6. For most travellers, the comfort gain outweighs that small trade-off.
Can I replace the ear pads on the Sony 1000X The ColleXion?
Yes, the Sony 1000X The ColleXion uses snap-on earpads that you can remove and replace without tools. Earpads are the first part to wear on any headphone, especially in Kenyan heat, where sweat builds up during long afternoon sessions. Swapping them can add years to a KSh 104,000 purchase instead of forcing a full replacement. The pads click into place rather than relying on magnets, so they stay put when you lift the headphones off. Ask Mascom International on WhatsApp about replacement pad availability.
Is the Sony 1000X The ColleXion worth buying in Kenya?
The Sony 1000X The ColleXion is worth it if you use headphones daily and want a pair built to last, not replaced every two years. Stainless steel hinges and replaceable pads address the parts that usually fail first. Customers across Nairobi tell us cracked plastic hinges ended their last pair, and this design removes that weak point. If you listen only on weekends, the extra spend over the WH-1000XM6 buys comfort you will rarely feel. Daily users in offices and on flights get the most value from it.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware
- 30mm carbon composite drivers — a stiff, light speaker cone that keeps cymbals, strings and vocals clear at higher volumes.
- Unidirectional carbon composite dome — Sony's design for cleaner treble and better separation between instruments than the WH-1000XM6.
- Integrated Processor V3 — the chip inside model WH-1000XX that handles sound processing, upscaling and spatial effects.
- DSEE upscaling — restores detail lost in compressed streams from Spotify, YouTube Music or Apple Music.
- Cinema, Music and Game spatial upmix modes — turn ordinary stereo into a wider, surround-style sound field for films and games.
- QN3 noise cancelling processor with 12 microphones — measures outside noise and cancels it before it reaches your ears.
Wireless Connectivity
- Bluetooth 6.0 — the newest Bluetooth version, giving stable links to current phones and laptops at normal room distances.
- LDAC codec — streams more audio detail than standard Bluetooth from compatible Android phones and music players.
- AAC codec — the format iPhones and iPads use, so Apple users get clean, low-delay sound on calls and music.
- SBC codec — the basic Bluetooth format, so older phones, laptops and TVs still connect without trouble.
- LC3 codec — the efficient LE Audio format that holds sound quality while drawing less battery.
- Auracast support — lets you join broadcast audio streams in airports, gyms or venues as they adopt the standard.
Battery
- Up to 24 hours with noise cancelling on — about three eight-hour working days between charges.
- Five-minute quick charge gives about 1.5 hours of playback — enough for a commute or a short meeting.
- USB-C charging — the same cable type most modern phones and laptops use, so one charger covers everything.
- Charges from any USB-C power bank — useful during power outages or long road trips without a wall socket.
- At three hours of listening a day, one full charge lasts about eight days.
Build and Durability
- Stainless steel hinges and stem — the parts that crack first on plastic headphones are metal here.
- Vegan leather headband with a metal top section — wider and more cushioned than the WH-1000XM6 for long sessions.
- Earcups about 5mm thinner and roomier inside — more space for your ears and a lower profile on the head.
- Replaceable snap-on earpads — swap worn pads instead of replacing the whole headset after heavy use.
- 320g weight — heavier than plastic models, spread across a wider headband to reduce pressure points.
- Swivelling earcups that lie flat — they rotate for storage but do not fold as compactly as the WH-1000XM6.
Controls and Inputs
- Stainless steel physical buttons — firm, clicky presses you can find by feel without looking or tapping.
- Stainless steel cable jack — a wired input for in-flight entertainment systems, laptops and audio interfaces.
- 12-microphone array — picks up your voice for calls while filtering wind and background chatter.
- Adaptive noise cancelling — adjusts automatically to your fit and surroundings without any settings to change.
- Sony Sound Connect app — choose spatial upmix modes and adjust listening settings from your phone.
