Sony registers '1000X The Collection' trademark, hinting at potential release of top-tier XM6 headphones?
Sony has recently registered the trademark "1000X The Collexion" in both Japan and Canada, hinting at a potential expansion of their high-end audio product lineup[1][2][3][5]. This new branding covers a wide range of audio devices, suggesting that Sony may be planning to release a collection of premium audio products under this unified identity.
According to the trademark filing, the new line could include:
- Headphones and earphones (possibly successors or special editions of Sony's popular WH-1000XM and WF-1000XM series)
- Portable audio players (indicating the possibility of new Walkman models)
- Radios
- Loudspeakers
- Amplifiers
- Television receivers
- Telecommunication apparatus
The broad scope of the trademark suggests that Sony may be planning to launch a comprehensive range of high-end audio products under the "1000X The Collexion" name. This could potentially replace or augment the current 1000X models, creating a special edition or expanded ecosystem that includes wireless earbuds (such as the rumored WF-1000XM6), speakers, and possibly even portable music players[1][2][3][5].
With the WF-1000XM6 earbuds and WH-1000XM6 headphones set to receive updates, the "1000X The Collexion" branding could represent a premium or special edition line that incorporates these products, along with others, to create a cohesive audio offering under a refreshed identity[1][4].
The release of the WF-1000XM6 earbuds is expected this year, and some anticipated features include a more comfortable and secure fit, dynamic head tracking, and a longer battery life[1][6].
In the past, Sony has struggled to achieve five-star ratings for their Bluetooth speakers, with the ULT Field 1 scoring a respectable four stars and the ULT Field 3 scoring only three stars in reviews[7]. The "1000X The Collexion" trademark could be a first step towards improving Sony's Bluetooth speaker performance.
