These leaked renders come courtesy of the folks over here Android Headlines. The renders include close-ups of the headphones in both color options: white and black. Unfortunately, these renders did not come with specifications. However, we can tell you everything we know about this headset so far.
As you may have heard, Sony’s fancy upcoming headphones are known as the “1000X The ColleXion.” They are expected to sit a level above the WH-1000XM6, which means you can expect them to be significantly more expensive. Exactly how expensive? Well, a leak from last month revealed that they could be priced as high as €629 (~$740), which is $300 more than the XM6.
You can also see from these renders that Sony is using more premium materials, especially around the hinge. Where the XM6 uses plastic, these headphones have a metal hinge. The hinge design on the XM6 has been the subject of controversy, as it suffers from a fatal flaw that causes the hardware to break. However, it appears that users won’t have to worry about that issue with these cans.
Sony has not yet offered an official release date for 1000x The ColleXion. However, previous reports suggest that they may arrive by May 19.
