I decided to treat myself to some noise cancelling headphones. I do a fair bit of travelling on public transport and get irritated by background noise/chatter. I narrowed it down between the Bose QC35 and these Sony WH-1000XM3. When trying them out found that there wasn't much between them.

Jack of all trades and master of all; the Sony WH-1000XM3s are a superb all-round package Add all of the ingredients together – the increased comfort, improved noise-cancelling and serious audio ability – and you have as close to the perfect pair of noise-cancelling headphones as it's currently...

Natural; all-round sound quality; The best noise-cancelling out there; Supremely comfortable

Good enough to expose weaker recordings; Touch controls feel fiddly at first

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; Recharging is slow

Spent a bit of time researching the best noise cancelling headphones and kept ending up at these. Was not disappointed, amazing sound quality and noise cancelling ability along with a very long battery life. Very nicely finished product with attention to small details that make all the difference.

I recently went on an overseas with 3 connecting flights, combined, the flights took over 24 hours - this headset I believe saved my sanity. It is amazing, and has blocked out much of the ambience noise even in the flight cabin (general chatter, kids crying and whatnot) on top of the engine noise,...

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.

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

Sound quality is amazing, would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for something with great sound and comfort!

This is the first pair of noise cancelling headphones I've owned, and I'm happy to say that the Sony's are excellent at blocking outside noise. I'm sensitive to sounds, and live in an often noisy flat, so I find it great to be able to switch noise cancelling on, and experience near silence (and/or...

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
