Finding a decent wireless noise cancelling headphone that has a good battery life and great sound can be tough. But finding one that's in-ear and lasts more than 8-hours is even harder. The Sony WI-1000X wireless noise-canceling headphone may just be the answer.

The best of both worlds - great sound and noise-cancelling capabilities - make these a smart choice

Punchy bass; Insightful midrange; Well balanced; Range of noise-cancelling modes

Neckband could be more flexible

I have been more than impressed with the sound quality and noise cancelling of my new Sony's. The rub, however, is that I needed something for both business and pleasure. the ability if the microphones to pick up my voice when in a call is poor, and people really battle to hear me.

The Sony earbuds and collar don't disappoint. It is very comfortable and paired easily to my iPhone. Sound is awesome. Highly recommended.

Lightweight collar; comfortable earbuds

To date, I haven't been able to use 2 devices with the Sony W1-1000x; will keep trying. And, the included instructions are a bit cryptic. Recommend using the Users Guide online - it is much better and easy to understand

not very useful in noise cancelling, even qc20 is better. But in general, is ok

If you can't stand over-ear headphones, the Sony WI-1000X are a great in-ear alternative. The inclusion of aptX HD support makes the Sonys one of the best wireless headphones we've heard. While battery life may just be average, the WI-1000X are a great set of headphones for audiophiles on the go.

Audiophile wireless sound; Good noise cancellation; Unique features

Average battery life; Adaptive Sound Control is slow; No multi-point connection

Didn't think I would like the headphones and the set up, but actually fits comfortably around my neck. Once you know where all the buttons are it is easy to adjust. Love the feature that optimises the noise cancelling, use it a lot.

Sony's earphone game is getting stronger by the year, with its latest wireless earphones being testimony to that improvement. The WI-1000X are, without doubt, among the best in-ears we've tested in a while.

Brilliant customisable sound; Well-made and premium looks; Solid wireless connectivity; Versatile noise-cancelling and ambient sound control

Could be more comfortable to wear in-ear; Battery improvements would be welcome; Micro-USB rather than USB-C recharging

One of the best portable headphone devices we've seen in a while, truly hitting all the right notes when it comes to noise cancelling and travel-centric features.

Comfortable; Feature packed; Sound quality

None

Sony's WI-1000x headphones are the constant travelers perfect headphones. It's a statement that lacks humility but I speak from the perspective of the constant traveler. I live in NYC and you don't have to be a native to know that its fast moving, crowded and noisy…noisy as hell.
