Product Reviews

I bought this headphones month ago and I’m happy with it’s sound and product quality. Sound cancellation was perfect!

I bought this set yesterday at best buy and when I first put them on the comfort of them were outstanding I right the bose as well sony did great with the comfort just like bose did the music is great and crisp the bass isn't to aggressive it is just right and everything blends with each other great the noise cancelling is really good the built quality is good very light in weight over all of the WH-1000XM3 they are a really good investment if you want really good quality headphones

The noise cancelling function on these headphones is amazing. They help me focus at work and tune out of the noise on the train ride home. The sound quality is also fantastic.I love the touch control too. However - and this is a big problem for me - I find them so heavy that I can only wear them for about an hour. I am quite small and the bottom of each ear piece presses just underneath my ears making my jaw tingle after a while. (I have them on the smallest headband setting). So they're a real mixed bag for me. I would have taken them back to the store and tried to find a lighter pair but they only accept returns if they're faulty.

I have used it both at home and on a plane. Good sound quality and noise cancelling. It will be better if the Quick Attention Mode for allowing ambient sound could be further improved for communication on a plane.

I usually don’t write reviews but felt I should on these headphones. I was researching for months trying to find just the right ones. I started leaning towards the Sonys when the MX3 came out. Finally pulled the trigger at a BestBuy vending machine in an airport. Have loved them from day one but a flight last night proved their worth. I flew standby on a commuter jet and literally got the last seat on the plane. It was by the window in the last row, right next to where the engines were mounted. When the pilot started the engines, the sound was unbearable. The guy next to me immediately put his fingers in his ears. It was piercing. I quickly donned the Sony’s and WOW, barely any noise. I started up some music and that cured any balance of noise that may have snuck in. These headphones made the worst seat on the plane almost paradise. Although pricey, they work better than advertised . I was very thankful I bought them.

Great Noise Cancelling and Sound Quality. Excellent

When using it, both ears were getting hot, had neck pain due to its heavy weight, and got headache (especially with noise cancelation on) which took me for one week to recover. Regret my decision on buying it...

Love it as I travel very frequently! Love using it during my long haul flights especially

When I walk, jerk my head, take public transport such as bus, train I keep getting popping sounds in the headphones. This happens only when the NC is turned on. It is actually unbearable.

Love the audio quality! Great bass, mids, treble is pretty good. But having those audio codecs for bluetooth is amazing. I only stream music. So having support for it on select apps makes it definitely worth it!

Very comfortable headphones which I can wear for hours. Sound quality is great (though I'm no audiophile). Noise cancellation is fantastic - I can listen to music while others are watching TV, even though I don't have the volume too loud. When I'm at work having them on without music really shuts out din. Using for phoning is not so great - it seems the mic picks up too much so I would not use the for an important call or telephone conference.

The best headphone that I own so far. The Noise Cancellation is excellent, the battery life is ecxellent, the BT connection is easy, the sound produced is excellent, charge time is not that long. Wearing it is comfortable and light on my head and ears.

I believe all users are happy with the product, that includes me. The sound system is at the best for b;uetooth catagory. No complains on this department. But, I have an issue with the connectivity. At a stationary position, it works seemlessly without any sound distortion. But once I I am mobile (walking) it will start to distorting the audio which sounds like a broken CD. I am not sure if the problem is with the headset or my handphone(Samsung Note5) ? Would appreciate if Sony can look into the problem.

Fantastic ANC, a couple of plane rides and subway trips later, the product has already demonstrated its value tenfold. You'll never find more blissful rest when the cacophony of screaming children, engine noise and yammering of commuters dissipate into the sweet dulcet tones of your music.

I bring everywhere! the sound quality level is more than it price. Tested in flight. The changes of atmosphere level is smooth and comfortable. The only thing that bothered me is the single paired mode in M3. Need to reset the pairing mode eveytime my colleagues want to tested M3 using their own device.

Bought them a month ago they work very well but the problem seems to be that when in movement sound gets distored for example if moving your head to the left sound distorts from the right and sound goes on the left.

Got these headphones at a great bargain and loving it! The sound quality is at par with its competitors and the noise canceling is world-class.

Very high quality and perfect sound experience! Have been using for almost a month now. The app is very user friendly..noise cancellation is the best ive tried out so far. Touch command feature is really good! The only downside of the touch sensors is that sometimes i could accidentally swipe the cup with my arm when im in my bed.

Got this amazing headphones a couple of weeks back and have no regrets. The noise cancelling function and sound quality is the best I've experienced. In addition to that, even after hours of wearing them they caused no discomfort. Very happy with the product.

1/2 month of usage, getting impressed by day. Pairing usage with Fiio X7 MKII & Iphone, with both wired and Bluetooth, never disappointed. Best ever noise cancellation headphone with exceptional sound, no rivalry within price range.

Bought this a month ago to replace the 1000XM2. The fit is better and features are fantastic. Sound is great but somehow the ANC is not as ideal.

I bought it on 11th Nov and been using it for 3 week. I love the battery life as it last me almost 2 weeks without charge for listening to music before sleep at night. The features is great and the pair is easy.

Easy setup and interesting features. XM3 has excellent sound cancellation

Bought this in early November and I could say its one of the best decisions I ever made. The NC functions very well and it's a blessing on long hour flights and trips where you would want to isolate surrounding noises and have some rest. Just hope that it can pair with more than one device at a time to help ease the transition from home to flight/office.

I'm so happy with this headphone. Thank you SONY for this innovation.

I bought this in Nov 2018 and is very happy with it

I bought this one week ago, and it's very comfortable to wear and exceptional noise canceling features. I am beyond satisfied with this headphones.

The best ANC headphone so far. Love the features and ease of use

Awesome bass sound and ease to operate for beginners

I just bought this about 2 weeks ago. At first no problem. Yesterday I tried to charge it. After trying several USB ports and several cables, it finally charged. What the sam hill. $350 for problems!!!!! Oh heck no.

My office is being renovated and to cope with the noise (people moving, chatting loudly) I thought I would invest in these headphones, which various online magazines recommended. I was really surprised by their performance since I've long been a sceptic about noise cancelling tech. They're comfortable and the control app on Android is very intuitive too. Now I have my own little oasisofcalmat the workplace. Brilliant product.

it's expensive, but it's worth the money if you travel a lot. great anc n sound. slightly less comfortable than bose qc. but bose earpad durability is terrible. hopefully sony's last longer. only time will tell.

Very impressed with the sound separation. I find myself hearing aspects of a song I'd never heard before. One online review said that the headphones are good enough to show weaknesses in a song's sound production and I agree.

I bought this for black Friday, sadly no sale, however, I am very happy with this purchase, the noise canceling is OUT OF THIS WORLD, you cannot hear anything if music is playing, and sound quality is to die for, I never take them off, and they simply disappear on my head. One issue, however, is I find at random, the left earcup cancels less noise than the right, and also randomly the left earcup's sound is less and off balance to the right, however, I am in the process of getting support to fix this issue. Highly recommended, buy these headphones you will not be sorry.

I have been using close to automotive and I am so happy with the product. The quality gp worth every penny I paid for.

Bought this a few weeks back... never regretted since. Not sure why in the train when underground, it has that vibing sounds ..like trying to adapt to the environment... kindda weird. its in built Google assistant made me send whatsapp text via voice command. how awesome.

Great sound quality, subjectively good-looking headphone, lighter and improved comfort, fast charging + best battery life and great features. Really love this headphone <3

Not very convincing compared to much cheaper versions of headphones. Problems: 1) very noisy when outdoor. The microphones are poorly placed on the top and underneath the headrest. Due to the turbulence there is much noise. 2) very poor bluetooth connection which drops frequently. Especially when you listen to e.g. music and is interrupted by a phone call. Then bluetooth is lost and phone has to be restarted. 3) The touch control is fuzzy and very hard to manouver and does not help you when you want to answer a phone call. 4) The app is pointless and also contains bugs and incorrect data, like the battery status and the claim that "now playing" and obviously no sound in the head phones. Tested with a huawei p10 and p20. A head set which is 4x cheaper does the job much better. Poorly executed.

Try this product for a month and feel amazing of this model.

Got this yesterday, and it sounded fantastic indoors. Unfortunately, when I went outdoors for my daily commute to/from work, the headphones stopped working properly, alternating from low to high volume and not responding to my swipes for volume control. Temperature was about 1-2 degrees Celsius (I'm in Stockholm). Really bummed out, because the main reason I bought these was for my daily commute. Also, there was no workaround since there's no manual volume concontrol. Would've given this 5 stars if it actually worked in cold weather. Debating whether or not I should return them. Sure hope Sony comes out with a fix real fast.

I have extremely happy with purchase. It is worth every penny! I own high end Bose and Senheisser cans. This one tops it all.

I just bought this few days ago, it was the best headphone I’ve ever tried. Too good!

I bought this 3 weeks ago and have not been disappointed.

These headphones are the best i have ever tried. Believe me i did about 6 months of research back when the 1000xm2s were out and i decided to wait. I'm glad i did these headphones are unbelievable. I have worn the bose and beats as well and somehow the sony has better noise canceling than the bose and the beats. and with no cabin pressure. if you don't know what cabin pressure is, it is when the headphones have a hiss in the background that hurts most peoples' ears. even though the bose has better comfort just barely who really cares when everything else is so much better. I conclusion These headphones are the best of the best right now and if you can afford the heft price tag i'm sure it'll be worth while.

The sound quality is great, the noise cancelling is genuinely superb, and the functionality of the app and the controls is fine. But the sound quality for phone calls is terrible with Bluetooth. The other end of the call complains of lots of noise, crackling, and interrupts. That is with me in a silent room, and the phone 10cm from the headphones. It works much better with a wired connection, but I would describe the Bluetooth call quality as broken and useless. I may well return the product, and can't recommend it if you intend to use it for phone calls.

I like this headphone and enjoy me very happy， this is very good product，i like it very much

i bought it and use it one and half month ago. Totally is good, but I found that sometimes the Bluetooth connection not stable, after restart then will solve it. Besides , this is the major problem I don’t like, the usb-c cable is too short !!

The experience was excellent. Love this headphone so much.

I bought this headphone last month and I'm happy that sound quality are dope and I'm in love with this feature called Quick Attention Mode...it's convenient so I don't need take the headphone off.

Bought this last month and it's been an indispensable travel companion ever since. Music and vocals come through with startling clarity even on a noisy plane. Extremely comfortable on my ears. Only small issue is a sensation of mild heat around the ears after prolonged use. I guess maybe the reason is that I couldn't remove them from my ears, they are so good.

Fantastic products really well made and excellent sound

I would have loved this product but in cold weather (30-40F) the touch controls either stop working or become fritzy (randomly and frequently pause/skip tracks or activate voice control. Makes them unusable for cold weather commuting.

Excellent and best wireless noise cancelling headphone in market so far. NC still superb even I'm wearing specs when I put my headphone on. Thanks to the team and hope Sony may improve the user comfortable level especially air ventilation inside the ear cup as it will create heats when on the road (w/out air con) especially in hot and humid country like Malaysia. Keep it on Sony!

I just want to start this review off with I don’t write reviews often, but this product is such an amazing gift from the Sony gods I wanted to share it. 2 months ago I was in the airport and I was looking for some headphones, I was thinking of buying the wireless Dre beats headphones. I asked the sales rep if I could check some out. He asked me what kind of quality/technology I wanted, I told him I was looking for wireless, comfortable, noise canceling headphones that are reliable. He told me to stay away from the beats and to check out sonys newer headphones. Hesitantly I tried them on and all of a sudden my world changed. The world went quiet and all I could hear was my Pink Floyd I started playing. The quality of the headphones was so well I heard instruments in the song I have never heard before. I was unable to hear anything the sales rep was saying to me- I was unable to hear anything other than the music- which was not even at half volume. To conclude this review- if you’re looking for a quality product that looks, feels and is GREAT; I recommend this one, I use them everyday for long periods of time (2-3 hours a day at least) and the battery life is tremendous. G

The sound quality I believe is second to none,and with the app it is so easy to personalise them to your requirements !....

Smiles for the hour I have only had it And I'm sure many more to keep coming

I bought these headphones because I had some extra cash, I am a tech-aholic, and I wanted to offload my barely one year old Sony WH1000XM2 to my father who asked me for some headphones. I may end up giving him the news model because it is most definitely not worth the upgrade price. The ads will dazzle you with fancy terms like Liquid Crystal Polymer drivers or fast charging, the reality, in simple terms, is that these headphones are marginally better sounding than the previous model thanks to the new QN1 chip. What makes these headphones different aside from the fancy new tech built into them is this, they are designed for people with bigger ears and bigger heads. The padding which was ample on the older model was thicker. The new processor technology in the headphones sounds marginally better which amounts to basically nothing since the older model sounds exceptionally good. You'll hardly notice the better sound since the key feature in the noise cancelling headphones is worse in the new model, that being the noise cancellation. That thick cushion layer in the old model helped with the noise cancelation, any pro-reviewer that tells you the noise cancellation is better with the new model is a shill and I will stand by that statement. I use my headphone primarily at the gym (I am in the military) and the difference is quite clear. When wearing the older model, I barely head the grunts, chatter, or equipment from the other people using the facility even when I am not playing music. I have to turn the music up on the newer models to block out most of the ambient sounds since the thinner cushioning does not block out anywhere near that level of noise. Noise cancellation on any headphone that lays claim to that term is a combination of lots of things including the technology. The tech only goes so far. Yes it is excellent software based sound cancelling but without the extra cushioning it is wasted. Does the new model sound better, just a little. Not the current over $300 price they are charging better. Are they more comfy, to me no. But if your ears and head are bigger than mine, probably a great deal. It is most certainly not worth the price they are asking for if you own (and are happy with) the older model, definitely not worth the upgrade. Wait for some truly incredible headphone breakthrough before you upgrade, buy the older model which is the sam price.

I boughit during 1st launch at Malaysia , im happy with the overall perfomance , it conford

I bought this and I am very happy however some noise enter the headphone when wearing glasses

I just brought these and they sound great. I listen to a lot of drum n bass and these headphones definitely do justice to drum n bass and I mean Bass

I bought it since it was launching and Im as regular Sony customer,Im really satisfied with this version of WH-1000XM3. Before this I hv MDR-100AAP...and the sound good also...but then Sony produced this type of headphone...you will regret if doesnt buy this kind of Headphone. SERIOUSLY.
