Sony Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones Wf 1000Xm3

I tested 4 other noise cancelling headphones and returned them all finally settling on the WH-1000XM3 for a the following reasons: 1. Very Long Battery Life 2. Setup app allowed me to fine tune the sound to my taste 3. Noise cancelling is top rate 4. Sound is good but not as good as my audiophile wired headphones, and I wouldn't expect them to be. 5. I wear them at work and when I travel. 6. Good semi-hard case for travel Great Price! Other's I tested were. Bang & Olufsen H9i Sennheiser Momentum 3 Bose 700 Focal Listen

This is my first headphone and I am really glad that I chose Sony 1000xm3. The noise-cancelling feature works so great that sometimes you are so amazed how quiet it is as you take it off in a busy environment etc. The connection works great. I love the touchpad. It is so easy to pause/play and adjust the volume. The pad on the crown is also very comfortable!

I had an expensive wireless in ear headphones, but I needed something that was noise cancelling and didn't bother me inside the ear. Sony Wireless Noise Canceling headphones are PERFECT! It cancels out unwanted noise, I can ask Google to do things, I can talk on the phone and they are so comfortable over the ear. I love my new headphones!

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

Ive had several other noise cancelling headphones by Bose (QC35 II) and Beats (Studio Wireless) and I always hailed Bose as king of Noise Cancelling headphones. Now the only thing that Bose has over Sony is the durability of the headphones, my Bose headphones I could pretty much bend however I wanted and they wouldn't break. The Sony's are a bit more stiff, but the material is still premium! I originally went with Bose because of their comfort though, I like to wear my headphones for an extended period of time and the old Sony's (XM1 and XM2) got uncomfortable after a few hours. With the new design however, I can see myself wearing these all day! What does Sony have to offer that's better than Bose? - Noise cancelling (much better) - Sound quality - Battery life - Customization through app - Accessories (better quality auxiliary charger cords, as well as a good airplane adapter!!) - USB-C Charger!!! (as a MacBook Pro owner this was a must, I hated micro-usb so much) - Comfort? (I'm still testing this out but ill update in a few weeks if its better or on-par with the Bose QuietComfort 35 ii)

Have 2 other Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones over the years and I always felt somewhat disappointed in the quality of the noise cancelling, but figured this is what it is. Now I know differently. These Sony headphones literally shut down nearly all the noise where I can't hear anyone talking to me and priced reasonably, unlike the Bose or Apple headphones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love wireless noise cancelling headphones. I've had several pairs of Air Pods and I enjoy these more. They stay in your ear which is great because I love to run with them and the sound is high quality. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely loving these wireless noise-cancelling headphones. They are the best that I have ever had. I downloaded the app and paired very quickly with my cell phone. The charge lasts a really long time for wireless headphones and they charge really fast. The noise cancelling is amazing. I used on a plane, in the airport, walking on the sidewalk, and at home. I guess the headphones automatically adjust to your environment, which is really cool. The sound was great in all these environments. I also used the headphones to take phone calls and they worked well. I also like the the music on the headphones pauses when you take them off. Great sound, easy to use, great tech, and quality product.

I bought these primarily for the noise cancelling, and they work great. I work in an office with half height cubicles and lots of conversations, copier machines, conference calls, etc. I am not exaggerating when I say they brought a momentary tear to my eyes when I turned them on for the first time. The office hum and chaos tuned immediately to a hush. I couldnt even hear the copier or my neighbors conversation. I kept taking them off and putting them on just to make sure I wasnt fooling myself. Right then and there I knew my office life would change for the better, and it has. Ive had these for about two weeks and bring them with me everyday. Please be aware that some voices are of a certain frequency that the noise cancelling doesnt totally block them out, but they are silenced enough that a soft soundtrack through my Bluetooth connection effectively eliminates any remnant noise. The music quality was secondary to my needs, but I am very happy with the quality of both the wired connection and wireless for my streaming service. To maximize these headphones I recommend downloading the Sony Music Center app in addition to the headphone app the instructions link you to download on your mobile device. It seemed to enable the LDAC wireless connection from my mobile phone to these headphones. These get five stara from me because they exceed my expectations. For somebody who is an audiophile, they may not exceed your expectations. But if you want really good audio quality and effective noise cancelling in a wireless over the ear headphone, dont hesitate. BTW, they are very good for taking calls too and having a conversation. My wife couldnt tell I was on headphones when I was talking to her. She said my voice was very clear, for what its worth. One other thing to note is that the physical button that turns on/off the headphone can be reassigned to do Google Assistant. Seems redundant if your phone is within reach. But I like these very much and highly recommend!

I have own several Bose noise cancelling headphones as well as Beats wireless as well. I was curious and listened to it at store and was impressed by the sound and the noise cancelling!!! I took this on a flight last weekend and it worked great. Give it a listen!
