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.

These Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones are now available at their lowest price EVER
We gave these Sony ANC headphones a flawless rating and they’re now available for almost half price
- Sound quality is fantastic and cancels out all sound from outside like traffic or kids playing when I go to sleep during the day! The comfort is ideal for long hours
- And just 5minute charge provides hours of listening! I love it and well worth the money!
- I wish there was a way to turn off the touch pad on the right ear cup
- Accidentally changed music tracks/video just by brushing my arm or hand against it
- That's the only negative and it's not even a big thing
Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black WH-1000XM3B review
Sony WH-1000X M3 review: With reliable battery backup, these noise cancelling headphones are worth the price tag....
Like a sound-proof room
I have owned the Bose for many years and have been happy with them. But these Sony's are on another level for sound isolation and quality audio. I can't think of anything that can be improved upon here.
Sony WH-1000XM3
Build and design When you unpack the XM3 for the first time, you will first be surprised by its low weight. In your hands as well on your head, these headphones have a tendency to disappear, which is quite a respectable feat, regarding all the technology Sony has stuffed In there.- good enough sound for most people
- sound quality not up to the price tag
A good $50 headphone. $350, no way!
Battery life - Nowhere near 30 hours. Noise cancellation - I couldn't notice any. Ergonomics - Buttons WAY too small / hard to find. Documentation - None. Setup instructions - None. I'm trying to use these withh a PC. When I found documentation / instructions on-line, it's all for smartphone!
The current best noise cancelling headphones
I have had a few sets of noise cancelling headphone previously, mainly for overseas travel. The most recent a mid range Sony set. We have a couple of very long flights coming up so I started reading reviews, expecting the Bose QC 35 II to be top dog, but review after review kept finding the Sony...
No Other Headphones Will Do
I usually don't write reviews of any kind. And the only reason I'm submitting one now is because Crutchfield prompted me to do so. That said, I really like these headphones!! I've only been using them for about two weeks. The experience thus far has been excellent. Hence, the five star rating.- Sound Quality
- It's incredibly contours to whatever you're listening
- There's the right amount of bass, midsized, and highs
- I'm not a fan of the type of black coating Sony chose
- Matte black looks and feels better
- By the way, hold onto these headphones securely at all times
- They will most certainly slip out of your hands and fall to the ground thanks in part to the wonderful paint job I just commented on
Amazing noise cancelling. Amazing battery life. I really tried to like the sound. But after having high powered audiophile headsets. These just fell flat. For your average user who is always on the go. This is an a amazing headset and should be bought when on sale.
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
