Sony is further upscaling its flagship headphone strategy with the introduction of its 1000X "The Collexion," a new premium wireless noise-canceling headphone positioned above the company's already high-end WH-1000XM6 released last year. The new headphone, which Sony said was developed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its 1000X headphone and earbud series, is designed to complement rather than replace the WH-1000XM6, which remains in the lineup as Sony's top active noise-canceling-focused model. The Collexion will retail for $649.99 when it ships on May 19 in Platinum, Silver, and Black finishes.

The wearables market continues to expand, though the conditions shaping that growth are changing rapidly. That's according to the latest Global Wearables Market Outlook report from Futuresource Consulting, which forecasts 229 million shipments worldwide in 2026, a 5.1% increase year on year.
Retail value is expected to increase even more, at 6%, generating $57 billion. And while those numbers point to continued success, the real story is where the opportunity is strengthening, where it’s losing momentum, and which device types are starting to command the industry’s attention.
