Sony WH-1000XM3
Sony promise more sound and less noise in these awesome WH-1000XM3 headphones!
Industry-leading noise cancellation that's even better
Sony have always been front runners in developing noise cancelling technology, but it seems they've outdone themselves in their WH-1000XM3 headphones. The noise cancellation technology in these headphones is described as "our most advanced ever", with close fitting ear pads and HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 combining to ensure that Sony stays ahead of the pack.
Smarter than before
Headphones can be smart, and in the case of the WH-1000XM3 model, they're super smart. Their advanced noise cancelling technology such as Adaptive Sound Control is a prime example, while other smart features include Quick Attention, which quickly turns down music, call sound, and ringtone to allow ambient sound to be heard easily, plus Voice Assistant compatibility and touch control.
Awesome audio
Noise cancellation is one thing...what about the sounds? LDAC, Sony's new wireless audio technology transmits about three times more data than conventional BLUETOOTH wireless audio. This means you can now enjoy audio content that approaches a dedicated wired connection.
NC is AOK
The dedicated NC processor in the WH-1000XM3 headphones ensures reproduction of your music is not compromised at any stage, even by processor performance.
Head in the clouds
Many of us use headphones while we're flying. Sony understands this so they've introduced Unique Atmospheric Pressure Optimizing to their WH-1000XM3 headphones. This delivers optimal sound at high altitude.
A newer model Sony WH-1000XM4 was released in August 2020.

Sony WH-1000XM3 review: Sony lays claim to top noise-canceling headphone
With its comfortable fit and superb performance, the Sony WH-1000XM3 is the noise-canceling headphone to beat. For more than a year Sony's WH-1000XM3 has been the highest-rated wireless noise-canceling headphone on CNET, and it's still my favorite overall. It's still hard to beat its combination of design, features and performance -- both its sound and noise-canceling capabilities. Priced at $350, £330 or AU$499, the WH-1000XM3 is regularly discounted to $300 and sometimes less.- The excellent-sounding Sony WH-1000XM3 is more comfortable and 20% lighter than its predecessor

Great product
I had my last Bose earphones stolen so needed a replacement, it was a toss up between the Bose 700 and these, all the reviews said the Sony were better, they are! The touch controls are much better, you can adjust the sound and tone and they are cheaper, very happy with my choice
Great piece of kit
Had these a couple of months now and I must say they are exceptional. I find the noise cancelling very good .I have tried a few makes but these far out weigh many others .

Myer discounts are not to be sneezed at
Sony NC headphones were pretty famous worldwide. It had a retail price tag of USD350. For some unknown reason I was able to grab a pair for AUD395 and just after my purchase the price went back up to its original AUD595 price tag! Plus I had afterpay enabled from Myer

Great Sound Quality But Was Short Lived
I bought these headphones around 6 months ago and up till now, they have been amazing with charge times, sound quality, and ambient functionality. Unfortunate the headphones, with less than 100 hours of use on them, constant low crumpling sound in the left ear that completely ruins the previously...
