Sony's WH-1000XX "The Collexion" wireless noise-canceling headphones are currently available at a substantial discount. Secondipity, operating through eBay, is offering certified refurbished units with a two-year Allstate warranty for $389, a nearly 40% reduction from the original $649 retail price. This deal also includes free shipping.
Secondipity, described as a large Sony liquidator, offers refurbished items that are reportedly indistinguishable from new products, according to customer reviews.
The WH-1000XX represents an upgrade over the standard WH-1000XM6. Its design features a robust metal frame encased in hand-brushed stainless steel and vegan leather, with metal buttons, minimizing the use of plastic. Comfort is enhanced by a wider padded headband for better weight distribution and larger earcups designed to envelop the ears.
Internally, the headphones are equipped with custom-tuned 30mm carbon composite dynamic drivers and Sony's latest Integrated Processor V3. This processor supports spatial surround sound, DSEE Ultimate audio upscaling, and Bluetooth 6.0 with Multipoint connectivity. The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 works with a twelve-microphone array to ensure clear voice calls.
Battery life is rated at up to 24 hours of continuous playback. The USB Type-C quick charge feature provides 1.5 hours of playtime with just a five-minute charge. The headphones also come with a more practical carrying case featuring a molded-in handle.
At the discounted price, the WH-1000XX is also less expensive than a new WH-1000XM6.
