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 wireless headphones review: The epitome of effective active noise cancellation
We said last year that Sony had put Bose "on notice" when it comes to active noise-cancelling headphones. Our review of Sony's WH-1000XM2 reported that Sony not only delivered incredible audio quality, but that the company offered some high-tech features Bose couldn't match.

With this model, Sony promises not only great sound quality, but also improved active noise canceling over the M2 model, going as far as adding a feature that optimizes the sound for changes in air pressure, so you can get the best audio experience even at 10,000 feet...- Great noise canceling
- High-quality sound
- Long battery life
- Voice assistant support
- Expensive
- Headband can cause discomfort
- Earcups are a bit shallow

Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black WH-1000XM3B review
The 100ABN was Sony’s first shot at challenging Bose’s dominant position in the premium, noise-cancellation headphones segment, but it’s the 1000X series that has established the company here.
The Sony WH-1000XM3 retails at Rs 29,990. With this, Sony promises better audio performance, alongside already excellent active noise cancellation. The headset also offers fast charging and over twenty hours of battery life.
Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black WH-1000XM3B review
The improvements Sony have packed into the WH-1000XM3 make it significantly better than its predecessors, and that puts it in good stead to compete with the Bose QC35 II, which have remained the benchmark noise cancellation headphones. It is too close to call.
There are few products that manage to take a giant step forward with every successive iteration. Sony's 1000XM line of headphones is one such product that not only excels on their own but has taken the competition head-on. The XM2 doubled battery but generally played it safe.

Released in August, Sony's WH-1000XM3 headphones are the latest in Sony's line of flagship headphones, following on from the WH-1000XM2 model that debuted at IFA 2017 and the original MDR-1000X that launched in 2016. The line was designed to compete with Bose's QuietComfort line, especially in…

Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black WH-1000XM3B review
Looking for a premium quality pair of headphones? Sony’s WH-1000XM3 are hard to look pass. Right now, within its price point and feature set nothing is touching it. Bose is outdated right now with the QC35/II and while the PX by B/W are great they lack some features.
