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: Noise-cancelling supremo
At some point in the past five years, Bose took control of noise-cancelling in headphones, becoming the de facto brand you'd see when walking down the aisle of an aircraft. Sony , it seems, doesn't like this, and for the third year in a row has pushed out a version of the 1000X, looking to knock the...- Noise-cancelling performance is superb
- Comfortable for long periods of wear
- Lots of personalisation options via the app
- Google Assistant doesn't really work
- App can cause some confusion in mode selected

I'll get straight to it: the Sony WH-1000XM3 are without doubt the best noise-cancelling headphones that money can buy. 2017's were already excellent – and award-winners – but this third iteration benefits from small adjustments in a huge number of areas.- The best noise cancellation ever
- Excellent sound quality
- Fast charge feature is great
- Comfortable fit
- Responsive controls
- Could do with a touch more detail in the treble
"Best!"
Sound quality is amazing, would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for something with great sound and comfort!
Sony Over-Ear Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones (WH1000XM3/B)
Bose QC2 have been officillay de-throned. Sony beats the Bose hands down in noice canceling, sound quality and features. They are also more Comfortable. I've compared both personally. Bose is still a good headphone. If you are looking for the best. Then Sony has done it with these.
The WH-1000XM3 is one of the best pair of headphones we've ever used, this includes wired headphones as well. These headphones are a must-have gadget if you love music and also like to travel. It is by far my favourite gadget in 2018 and it costs Rs 28,990.
- Excellent Sound
- Awesome Noise Cancellation
- Superb Battery life
- Does not support multiple device pairing
- No dedicated Google Assistant Button
- Touch Controls are weird
I couldn't be happier
I couldn't be more impressed with these headphones. Everything I read about them was true. I own many headphones, from high-end to budget, & these headphones are impressive. The sound quality is excellent, the noise canceling is freakishly good, & the battery is the best I've ever experienced.
