Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION (WH-1000XX) is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 105,000, available at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD. This tenth-anniversary over-ear model pairs a 30mm carbon-composite driver with Sony's HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 and 12 microphones. It runs Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC, LC3, and LE Audio, plays for up to 24 hours with noise cancelling active, and weighs 320 grams. The Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION carries metal-and-leather construction, 360 Reality Audio upmix, and DSEE Ultimate detail restoration. Mascom International stocks it in Black and Platinum.
Mascom International offers this listing for Nairobi professionals who want quiet on demand. The Sony 1000X THE COLLEXIONsuits software developers in Westlands, executives moving between Upper Hill meetings, and content creators editing audio in noisy home setups. Open-plan offices, matatu commutes, and long-haul flights all bury concentration under background noise. The QN3 processor reads that noise in real time and cancels it, so a call from a Kilimani co-working space sounds clean. Frequent travellers count on the 24-hour battery across a Nairobi-to-London flight and a full workday afterward without reaching for a charger.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International prices the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION transparently in KSh and lets you test it in person before you pay. Buyers across Nairobi report that the carbon-composite driver separates vocals and instruments more clearly than the WH-1000XM6 they upgraded from. At KSh 105,000, this is Sony's dearest 1000X model, sitting above the standard WH-1000XM6, and it targets listeners who value materials and sound over folding portability. Visit Mascom International on Kimathi Street to hear the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION
What makes the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION different from the WH-1000XM6?
The Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION replaces the WH-1000XM6's plastic frame with metal and faux leather, and adds a new 30mm unidirectional carbon-composite driver. It weighs 320 grams, about 67 grams heavier than the XM6, and the earcups rotate flat but do not fold inward. Sound tuning was refined with GRAMMY-winning mastering engineers for wider stereo separation. It also gains DSEE Ultimate and two extra 360 upmix modes for music and gaming. The trade-off is a higher KSh 105,000 price and less travel-friendly folding.
How long does the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION battery actually last?
The Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION plays up to 24 hours of music with noise cancelling switched on, and up to 32 hours with it off. For calls, expect around 16 hours with cancelling active. A full charge takes about 3.5 hours over USB-C. When you are rushing out to a Westlands meeting, a 5-minute quick charge returns roughly 1.5 hours of playback. That endurance covers a Nairobi-to-Dubai flight, a working day, and the commute home before the battery needs topping up again.
Is the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION worth KSh 105,000 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 105,000, the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION is worth it for buyers who value build materials and sound refinement over saving money. It is Sony's costliest 1000X headphone, sitting well above the WH-1000XM6. If you mainly want strong noise cancelling for less, the XM6 gives most of the same silence at a lower price. Choose the COLLEXION if metal-and-leather comfort during long listening sessions, GRAMMY-tuned audio, and the anniversary design matter to you. Mascom International lets you compare both pairs in person first.
How good is the noise cancelling for a Nairobi commute?
Noise cancelling on the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION handles a Nairobi commute strongly. The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3, Integrated Processor V3, and 12 microphones read surrounding sound and cancel it in real time, adapting as conditions change. Matatu engine drone, boda boda traffic, and office chatter drop well into the background. An Adaptive NC Optimizer adjusts cancelling to your fit and to air pressure, useful on flights. Quick Attention mode lets you cover the right earcup to hear a conductor or colleague without removing the headphones.
Does the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION support LDAC and hi-res streaming on Safaricom or Airtel data?
Yes, the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION supports LDAC, Sony's hi-res Bluetooth codec, alongside LC3, AAC, and SBC. LDAC streams up to 990 kbps for detail beyond standard Bluetooth, ideal for lossless libraries or hi-res tracks over Safaricom or Airtel data. The headphones also support LE Audio through the newer LC3 codec for lower latency and steadier connections. Bluetooth 6.0 keeps the link stable within about 10 metres. Wired listening through the included cable reaches 4 Hz to 40,000 Hz for the widest frequency range.
How clear are calls on the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION?
Calls on the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION stay clear even in noisy places. AI beamforming and the Integrated Processor V3 lock onto your voice and strip out background sound, so callers hear you clearly from a busy Kilimani café or a windy street. You can mute instantly from the earcup during a Teams or Zoom meeting. During calls, battery lasts up to 16 hours with noise cancelling on, enough for back-to-back client calls across a full working day in Nairobi.
What's included in the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION box?
The Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION box includes the headphones, a bag-style carrying case with a magnetic closure, a detachable 3.5mm audio cable, a USB-C charging cable, a reference guide, and a warranty card. Sony ships it in plastic-free packaging, and roughly 25% of the plastic in the product uses recycled material. No wall charger is included, which is standard for headphones; any USB-C phone charger tops it up. Mascom International supplies compatible USB-C adapters separately if you need one.
Can I connect the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION to two devices at once?
Yes, the Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION supports multipoint connection, so it pairs with two devices at the same time. You can stay linked to a work laptop and a phone together, and the headphones switch to whichever plays audio. A developer can take a Safaricom call on their phone mid-way through a laptop video without re-pairing. The Sony Sound Connect app manages devices, adjusts the equaliser, and lets you customise the Listening Mode button for music, cinema, or gaming.
