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.

I spent most of last year investigating the world of in-ear sports earphones. I haven't had many to look at this year, so I thought it time to look at the other side of the headphone range with some noise-cancelling over the ear cans from Sony – and why start at the bottom of the range when their...

Review: Sony's $350 WH-1000XM3 headphones live up to the hype
In today's $350 wireless, ANC-equipped over-ear headphones space, there are two primary competitors: Bose's QuietComfort 35 II and Sony's WH-1000XM3. Bose has long been championed as the king of the segment by many, but it seems impossible to talk about the QC35 II these days without someone butting...- Design/build Looks are subjective
- but these look very premium in my opinion
- Comfort These actually feel more comfortable to me than the QC35 II
- Sound It's fantastic out of the box
- and it can be tuned to your preferences in the companion app
- Noise cancelling You won't be able to hear a thing in...
- Touch controls I've had frequent issues with taps/swipes not registering
- and they can have a mind of their own in certain scenarios
- Price $350 is a lot of money for a set of headphones
- and these are basically never discounted
