Our take on the Sony 1000X Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

The Sony 1000X is the original over-ear model in Sony's premium noise-cancelling line, with Bluetooth, a built-in mic and 24 hours of claimed playback. It set the template for later Sony headphones: strong active noise cancelling, a comfortable over-ear fit and touch controls on the right earcup. Compared with newer rivals it lacks USB-C charging, a folding hinge on some versions and the adaptive noise cancelling that later models added. It suits frequent flyers and commuters who want proven noise cancelling without paying for the newest generation.

Questions and answers

Is the Sony 1000X still worth buying?
If you mainly want strong noise cancelling for travel and find it at a low price, yes. Newer Sony models beat it on charging, folding design and call quality, so compare those if you want the latest features.
How does it compare with the WH-1000XM3 and XM4?
Later models add USB-C charging, a folding hinge, better noise cancelling and improved call mics. The original 1000X is lighter on features but still delivers solid noise cancelling.
How long does the battery last?
Sony claims 24 hours of playback, and owners report getting through long travel days on one charge. Heavy noise-cancelling use and high volume shorten that.
Can I use it wired?
Yes. A detachable cable lets you listen with the headphones off, which works when the battery is empty. Noise cancelling needs power.
Does it support aptX or LDAC?
No. It uses standard Bluetooth codecs such as SBC and AAC, so it does not offer the higher-quality wireless codecs found on later Sony headphones.
What is in the box?
You get the headphones, a detachable audio cable, a micro-USB charging cable and a carrying case. Check the listing for the exact bundle.
