Are you willing to spend nearly 17 million VND on a wireless headset when that amount is enough to buy a high-end mid-range smartphone or even close to two other high-quality noise-canceling headphones on the market?
Sony has just officially launched 1000X THE COLLEXION on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the 1000X headphone line. This is not simply a new audio product but is positioned by Sony as a symbol marking a decade of dominating the high-end noise-cancelling headphone segment.
It is worth noting that as soon as it appeared, the product created a lot of intense debate. On one side, this is the most perfect noise-cancelling headset Sony has ever created. The other side believes that the price of nearly 17 million VND is pushing Sony into direct competition with AirPods Max 2, Bose QuietComfort Ultra and Sennheiser Momentum 4.
REFERENCE PRICE LIST FOR HIGH-END HEADSET SEGMENT 2026

Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION 16,990,000 VND

Immediately the question arose
Is Sony selling technology or selling emotions?
HIGH QUALITY DESIGN BUT NOT EVERYONE LIKES
Different from the flashy style of Bang & Olufsen or the industrial look of Apple, Sony chose a minimalist approach.
Matte finished metal frame.
Premium soft leather head cushion.
Two colors: Black and Platinum.
More fashion style than technology.
However, this is also controversial when many people believe that the level of luxury is not commensurate with the selling price of nearly 17 million VND.

Elegant Design
High quality materials
Recognition Not outstanding
Luxury level Lower than Bang & Olufsen
DOES AIRPODS MAX 2 REALLY BEAT SONY?
This is the most controversial topic.
Apple ecosystem users often lean towards AirPods Max 2 thanks to their ability to perfectly synchronize with iPhone, iPad and MacBook.
However, when considered from a purely technical aspect, Sony still possesses many advantages.

For multi-platform music listeners, Sony is still considered significantly more flexible.
THE STRONGEST POINT IS STILL NOISE CANCELING
Sony continues to maintain what helped the 1000X line become a monument.
12 ANC microphones
Adaptive NC Optimizer
AI processes the environment in real time
Extremely reduces office, airport, and train noise
What is commendable is that Sony does not create a feeling of tinnitus or pressure like some older generation ANC headphones.
Many audio experts still consider Sony to be the standardnoise that Bose and Apple have to compete directly with.
THE SOUND QUALITY IS TOWARDS RELAXATION INSTEAD OF EXPRESSION
Sony does not follow the trend of extremely strong bass.
Sony also doesn't try to create an overly artificial soundstage.
The company's philosophy is still the same
Listen for a long time without getting tired.
Listen to many genres.
Listen to relax.
New generation carbon composite driver combined with DSEE Ultimate AI helps significantly improve compressed music sources.
The Pop, Vocal, Acoustic and Ballad genres are recreated very emotionally.
SOUND QUALITY EVALUATION
Sound Range Review
Bass Good control
Mid Very prominent
Treble Gentle
Wide soundstage
High detail
BIGGEST CONTROVERSIAL POINT
Besides compliments, the community also recalled the issues that appeared on WH-1000XM5.
❌ Hinge breaks after long time use
❌ Peeling ear cushions
❌ ANC mic degraded
❌ Repair costs are quite high
This is the reason why many people are waiting to see whether Sony has really completely overcome those shortcomings on the 10th anniversary version or not.
CONCLUSION
Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION is not a headset for the masses.
This is a product aimed at music lovers who want to own a historical milestone of the 1000X series rather than simply looking for a noise-cancelling headset.
If you prioritize the Apple ecosystem, AirPods Max 2 is still a very strong choice.
If you prioritize noise cancellation, long-wearing comfort, balanced sound quality and multi-platform operation, Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION is still one of the top candidates in 2026.

The biggest question right now is probably not whether Sony did well or not.
But is a wireless headset worth nearly 17 million VND still a music device, or has it become an item that shows class and lifestyle?
