Sony 1000X marks its 10th anniversary with a hands-on “Sony 1000X Mastery” pop-up at Langham Place in Mong Kok, open through June 17, 2026.<\/p>\n

\"Visitors<\/figure>\n

The event, hosted by Sony Hong Kong, celebrates a decade since the launch of the 1000X family in 2016 and showcases the new 1000X THE COLLEXION flagship headphones alongside a display of earlier models.<\/p>\n

At the pop-up, Sony built two dedicated listening zones, the “1000X Detail” area for in-flight high-fidelity audio and the “1000X Focus” zone for daily commute noise canceling tests.<\/p>\n

The commute area is staged to look like a Hong Kong MTR subway car (the city’s rapid transit network), complete with announcement audio, so visitors can test how the headphones block typical transit noise.<\/p>\n

A reporter at the exhibit found that the commuting setup made the effect of active noise canceling immediately obvious; users reported noticeably less background chatter and carriage rumble while wearing the headphones.<\/p>\n

How the new flagship performs<\/h2>\n

The centerpiece of the show is the ten-year flagship called 1000X THE COLLEXION, which Sony Hong Kong said builds on the series core technologies with higher-rigidity drivers and DSEE Ultimate spatial audio processing.<\/p>\n

Sony confirmed the new model increases the number of noise-canceling microphones to 12 noise-canceling microphones<\/strong>, and uses a next-generation processing chip to improve audio detail and spatial resolution.<\/p>\n

To prioritize long-wear comfort, Sony reduced clamp force and loosened earcup sealing slightly, a design choice that, in side-by-side testing at the exhibit, made the physical isolation less effective against deep, low-frequency rumble than the WH-1000XM6.<\/p>\n

The exhibit also includes the WF-1000XM6 fully wireless noise-canceling earbuds, offering visitors a choice between over-ear and in-ear designs for different commuting habits.<\/p>\n

Longtime fans can visit a “1000X series 10-year evolution” gallery that displays milestone models dating back to the original 2016 release, allowing visitors to trace changes in acoustic design and materials over the decade.<\/p>\n

The “1000X Myself” fashion photo corner is fronted by singer Lam Ka-him (\u6797\u5bb6\u8b19), who Sony selected as a brand ambassador for the campaign, and features a large interactive backdrop for visitors to try looks with the headphones and take photos.<\/p>\n

Fans who want a deeper look can see the full lineup and take photos with the anniversary exhibit pieces.<\/p>\n

\"Visitors<\/figure>\n

Visitors who complete a listening session and register as MySony members, then link to Sony Hong Kong’s WhatsApp account, receive a blind-box style 10th-anniversary 1000X keychain, Sony Hong Kong said.<\/p>\n

Those who fill out an onsite survey can get an additional limited-edition headphone keychain while supplies last; Sony Hong Kong said quantities are limited.<\/p>\n

The pop-up runs daily from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. through June 17, 2026<\/strong>, at the Langham Place atrium, fourth floor, Mong Kok. Admission is free, and Sony Hong Kong encouraged interested readers to visit while items remain available.<\/p>\n
