Elevated experience
1000X THE COLLEXION adds a layer of luxury to an experience people already expect to sound great. It's like a high-end watch. It was the same team that worked on the WH-1000XM6, and this project was about elavating that work into a more premium package. When I put on 1000X THE COLLEXION, it felt like we took everything that made the WH-1000XM6 great and elevated it.
