Set Up Bluetooth Headphones For Gaming

It's rare seeing a pair of headphones that genuinely shine in almost every regard. But with the WH-1000XM3, Sony has created an indisputable winner, a categorically top-notch set of cans whose only shortcoming is the absence of 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connectivity, something we hardly ever see outside of the gaming market. They do have Bluetooth, though, so as long as you have a smart TV, an Nvidia Shield, a gaming laptop, or a Bluetooth-capable motherboard, you should be set for the reclusive world of active noise canceling. Unlike other noise-canceling headphones, the WH-1000XM3 use an unusually silent QN1 HD noise-canceling processor. In our testing, we found it was able to keep out most sounds, even on the crowded New York City subway. The battery does take a hit for this, but you can take solace in the fact that the WH-1000XM3 last 30 hours fully charged. After 10 minutes of being plugged in via USB-C, Sony claims they can deliver pristine high fidelity sound over five hours. And, to top it all off, volume and playback commands are touch-based. Goodbye forever, inline controls. Image 1 of 6

STURDY AND EASY TO SET UP.

Never had Bluetooth headphones till now and I'm loving them.

*I only use the headphones with my laptop. I have no issue with Bluetooth. I'm just not used to using Bluetooth yet. There were no issues with the set up. In the instructions, I learned the dangers and benefits of Bluetooth. Also I learned a refresher on electronic rules. I love the touch "screen" commands on the headphone. It gives a good retro(?) feeling of the Ipod except there aren't no buttons. After using the headphones for 2 hours, my hearing is less powerful than before I put them on. The effect lasts for a short amount of time. Thank you for making my headphones.

Just got these yesterday for Father's Day and soon after opening them already had tons of songs loaded (as simple as plugging into your computer, it showing up as a drive and copying the files over), read the instructions in about 30 seconds and was in the water swimming within minutes. I am blown away by the comfort and sound quality of these headphones in the water (and out). This is my first experience with this type of headphones and wow it is game changing for me as I do not like things in my ears. The ability to comfortably listen to music while swimming (and doing all kinds of other things like mowing the lawn, doing yardwork, walking the dogs, biking, exercising, etc.) and still be able to be fully aware of your surroundings is really a game changer for me. Of course this set does not support bluetooth as it's made to be in the water (which I actually prefer as I don't need to carry my phone with me to have a bluetooth connection), but definitely going to get another set for times when I do want to have bluetooth connectivity. These are incredibly comfortable, stay put through all kinds of movements in the pool and work very well with goggles, sunglasses, etc.. Cannot recommend them enough.

Was very easy to use and set up. I had my bluetooth headphones working with my computer within 10 minutes of pulling the dongle out of the bock. Sure this will make an effect on the future peripherals I buy in the future as this will make things easier and quicker I am sure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Set up was fairly easy and I was able to pair different types of Bluetooth headphones so that's a great win. The sound will obviously vary depending on the Bluetooth speakers or headphones you are using. I didn't notice any latency but your results could be different to mine. As you can see from the images that I have added the transmitter is very minimalistic and almost takes up no space at all. The transmitter will do only that transmit. For volume controls, you will have to rely on the volume control or your Bluetooth device.

GREAT PRODUCT AND EASY TO SET UP.

I needed an additional set of headphones. I knew HyperX was a gaming brand. At the price point I never expected the quality that come with his headphones. I definitely would recommend. 10/10
