From precise tuning to premium craftsmanship, every detail is designed to bring you closer to the artist’s original vision with exceptional clarity, depth and emotion.
Immersive Sound and Artistic Vision
“With 1000X THE COLLEXION, the listener gets an accurate representation of the sound the artists, producers, and engineers intended them to hear, experience, and feel. When I aim for a highly immersive sound, I want the listener to forget they’re listening through headphones and just hear the music—the emotion and intention of the song. These headphones achieve that because they’re very transparent and accurately represent the sound we were trying to create in the studio.”

Elevated Experience

When I put on 1000X THE COLLEXION, it felt like we took everything that made the WH-1000XM6 great and elevated it.”
