Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones Rock I have been using the WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones and I am so amazed at the quality. The headphones fit so comfortably on my head/ears, there is absolutely no static or interruption of sound during use, the headphones charge effortlessly, are extremely portable, I cannot say enough positive things about them. Connecting to Bluetooth is easy. Just wow on Sony’s part to produce these!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing design and quality These wireless bluetooth earbuds are amazing! This is my first pair of noise cancelling headphones and it definitely lives up to its name. The earbuds are extremely noise cancelling, has amazing treble and bass sound, and is super comfortable to wear. Connects easily to my phone via bluetooth. Gorgeous sleek design while still having great battery life. The charging case is very compact and charges the headphones easily. Love the ability to control my phone and pick up calls via the touch controls. Highly recommend!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love my new earbuds I am really liking my new earbuds! Love the noise canceling feature, and being able to control the volume from the earbud!! Still figuring out all the features on my earbuds. This is the first time ever using an earbud. I like that they are wireless and I love that you get a selection of different ear covers in many different sizes!! I do wish the instructions were a little more clear! Pictures are great and all but written directions with the pictures would be a lot better especially for us older ones who aren't always so technologically savvy!! It was really easy to hook them up to bluetooth and as soon as I take them out if the charger and put them in my ears they are hooked up to my phone!! Love it. Last night I was listening to a Zoom meeting and Facebook live at the same time with my earbuds!! It was awesome!! Still figuring out the touch controls. Had a hard time turning the sound down. Need to go to the App and read how again. Need to set up Google Assistant too. The sound quality of these is great and the noise canceling feature works wonderfully!! I'm still playing with the earbud covers to try to get one that fits good. I must have really small ears because even the smallest seems to big. It doesn't take but a half hour or so to charge them up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dissapointing OK but pricey and not as great as I had hoped. The picture instructions that come with them are utterly useless, fortunately the downloadable manual makes more sense. They also interfere badly with the WiFi reception to my mobile phone which nulls one of the main reason for buying - to listen to internet radio, but this problem is not exclusive to theWF-1000MX3 and happnes with many other BT headphones and earphones. Sound quality at least is good although I'm not impressed by the Sony Headphones Connect app.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound Had these a few months now, the sound quality is great. I can't fault them at all. The charging pod is attractive too. The only issue I have, and it's a totally personal one, they don't fit my ears very well, even with the smallest covers on them. I struggle to keep them in my ears. They just seem too big (the ear buds, not my ears). Now, this could be me inserting them wrong, I've never had wireless before, but it does spoil my enjoyment of an otherwise fabulous product...please don't let my seemingly small ears put you off purchasing these though, they are totally fabulous.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You get what you pay for These buds rock! Most people will be drawn in by the ANC wich i can attest is class leading at this point when compared with other brands ANC buds, and i can admit i was too. The biggest takeaway after using these was the AMBIENT sound mode. When comparing this feature to others i was blown away, i was able to hold conversations while listening to pod casts with ease OUTDOORS! The touch controls are nice and consistent with how they work. I have my right set up for Google assistant and my left for ambient control. If I long press my left earbud it will quickly turn on ambient sound so I can quickly have a conversation and back to noise canceling without fumbling through the three settings. The last thing is Bluetooth connection, this has always been hit or miss for me as I leave my phone somewhere and wonder away. I can say I haven't had a single issue and they keep up with my smartwatch in terms of distance which has been the furthest I've tested. Sound quality doesn't seem to diminish over distance compared to some competitors. PROS: ANC- works great when you find the right fitment Ambient sound mode- means i don't have to take them out to have conversation Software- great additions like ambient mode kicking in when moving around Touch controls- lets you activate Google assistant! CONS Not pocket friendly- the case is rather large but the trade off is more charges per use Design- not the biggest fan of the gold, i don't see them in use so not a huge deal Through use i found a couple of handy things -Download the app for customization and software updates (Headphones Connect) -Try every included ear tip with noise cancelling enabled -The red light on the case means its charging the buds it will go off after they have been topped off After trying so many of these buds and them missing the mark on one thing or another, I can confidently say i found a keeper. I want to use these as they enhance what I'm doing and not get in the way. I don't have to remove them to have a conversation or I can block out all other sounds and really focus on what im doing. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony WF-1000XM3 is a must buy I am someone who uses earphones/earbuds/headphones all the time. I switch my gadget at least once a year. I have tried a couple of truly wireless earbuds and Sony WF-1000XM3 blew them out of the water. I love the fact that it is sleek and easy to use. I'm also glad to find that it charges using a C-USB, now I don't have to bring multiple USB cords for my phone and earbuds. The dock is compact and it has strong magnets that keep the earbuds in. This was a problem I used to have a lot because I keep a lot of things in my purse and I used to lose my earbuds in there because the dock pops open. The Sony WF-1000XM3 fit comfortably snug in my ear while doing tasks at work which includes constant moving between 2 floors and taking calls throughout the day. The pack comes with multiple rubber tips so you can pick what feels right for you. These earbuds can run 6 hours of continuous playtime, which runs me through my lunch break. THEN the most fun thing is, I just keep it in the dock for the duration of my lunch break and it gives me another 2-3 hours of playback! NOISE CANCELLING: I am afraid of putting on both my earbuds due to the fear of not hearing cars or people around. I am glad to know that Sony WF-1000XM3 has optimizable noise cancellation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony takes the #1 spot in wireless earbuds! In the headphones market, it was debatable whether the Sony WH-1000XM3 were 1 or 2 in that category. However, in the true wireless earbuds market, there is no debate, Sony is #1. When you open the box, you might first think they are big, but after putting them on, I think you’ll agree they are a good fit. The key to having these work to their full potential is finding the right earbud cushions for your ear. These are important, not only for comfort but also to have the noise canceling work properly. You get 4, 3 + 1 that already are on the headset, silicone rubber earbud cushions. You also get 3 foam, Triple Comfort, earbud cushions. Finding the right one is key to making the noise canceling work correctly. From the start, you will be able to appreciate the noise cancellation that is produced from these earbuds. Sony has taken what made their headphones great and put that technology into the WF-1000XM3. These are the only true wireless earbuds that produce a great noise canceling feature. However, it doesn’t end there. The noise canceling comes with Ambient Sound Control, which allows you to hear your surroundings. Adaptive Sound Control recognizes whether you are in place, walking, running or using some sort of transportation, which automatically sets the Ambient Sound for you. You can also set the Ambient Sound to focus on voice, which allows the microphones in the earbuds to listen for voices and less on the other sounds. If you want to hear what’s happening around you instantly, just press the left earbud touch sensor, listen to what’s going on around you and release your finger when you want to go back to listening to your audio. You are going to get around 24 hours of use. The earbuds give you 6 hours of battery life, while the case adds another 18 hours of battery life to the earbuds. I can tell you that for me, I charged it every 2 or 3 days. I use them constantly, especially while at work, since, not only does it allow me to listen to my favorite music while not disturbing others around me, but it allows me to take all my phone calls as well. Overall, Sony takes the #1 spot in this category. USB-C charging (the norm for today’s devices), 10 minutes of charge will get you 90 minutes of playback, 24+ hours of playback overall, unbelievable Noise Canceling feature, touch sensor controls and a well designed app make the Sony WF-1000XM3 the best true wireless earbuds on the market today. You won’t be disappointed with these earbuds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing quality! You can clearly tell why these are consumer reports best rated truly wireless noise-canceling earbuds! My last few pairs of headphones were great, just wanted to upgrade to truly wireless and I've never had a noise-canceling set before. While the music is clear, with quality worth the hefty pricetag, the noise-canceling is amazing! You control everything through the app (photos attached) and turning on noise-cancellation takes away the sound of fans in my room and greatly greatly diminishes noise. highly recommended! battery life is great too, and the case and buds feel of superior quality and look nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really nice, but one small thing So I waited about a week to write this review so I could truly put my headphones to the test. I'm really glad I did. At first I really adored these. They were comfy, good sound quality, very noise canceling. However the quirk really dampened my experience. If I only want to wear one headphone, they turn off as soon as I remove one of the headphones. This has been very annoying for me. I do like the magnetic case a lot and really like how easy it is to charge them. I also like the large size of the case. I would recommend these to a friend, but I would certainly let them know about the caveat

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excelent product My first experience with Bluetooth headphones. Found it all pretty easy to use. Excellent sound quality, noise cancelling works well, try it on a train going through a tunnel to test. It wont cut out all noise, just get over ear headphones if you want more noise isolation. Only issue is fit, I find they can fall out. How about removable arc suporters like on the sports models?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality feel, ok battery life. I purchased about a month ago as my young daughter had stretched the cord on my tethered wireless buds (Anker £20) causing one of the channels to cut in and out. Wanted my first pair of noise cancelling completely wireless headphones. Sadly I don't find the ANC any good. I sit in a room with a/c and the ANC does little more to dull out the drone compared to the actual ear buds themselves acting as a earplug. I like the case, app and charging process, and multiple pair profiles for when I move from device to device. Phone, laptop etc. The only other ANC I've experienced was Bose over-ear headphones at a much higher price point. Audio quality seems the same as my £20 ankers phones but then again I'm not an audiophile

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great unless it’s a windy day! Great product. Only issue is that if you’re outside taking a call on a windy day, it’s difficult for the other person to hear what you’re saying as the mic amplified the sound of the wind. Great for listening to music & the noise cancelling works well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor fit, poor call quality, great sound I ended up returning these headphones. I am a woman with small ears, and it is very clear that Sony did not design these headphones with smaller people in mind. Even with the smallest ear tips, they never were able to get a good seal. I cannot even imagine working out in these since walking jostled them out of place. Additionally, the call quality was terrible. People I spoke to on the phone couldn't understand me and said that I sounded like I was underwater even though I could hear them perfectly well. The headphones sound great and the noise cancelling is excellent if you actually manage to keep them in your ears, but all of the functionality issues outweighed that for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Keep Popping Out Of My Ears I spent a good bit of time researching which earbuds to get. Picked these because of the great reviews, people seemed generally happy with them. However, when I got them, charged them for a day and popped them in, they popped out. I went through all the tips that were sent from the seller, found two different sizes that seemed the best fit. They popped out after a minute or two. Moved up and down sizes for each ear, they popped out. Tried jamming them in my ears, in a very uncomfortable manner, they popped out. I hope to be able to return them and search for another brand/style.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything but the tips I use these headphones for listening to music at my desk, while going for walks, and during online conferencing. They perform very well across all of my devices (Windows, iOS, Android). They are easily paired, so long as you place both buds in your ears during pairing (this is essential). Switching between connected devices is very easy, with no need to disconnect from one before connecting to the other. They work seamlessly. With regards to sound quality, these are in the outstanding category. The response is tight, the output reassuringly flat, and the music is given plenty of space, with individual instruments easily separated across the full range of frequencies. Neither lows, mids, nor highs are attenuated or blown out. Straight out of the box, without any enhancers enabled, these sound amazing. Noise cancelling and ambient sounds are especially controllable by way of the application, and the quality of the cancelling is incredible given the size of the buds. The customisation of this facility, and the auto-adjust feature is currently unmatched to my knowledge. Battery life has held up to advertised claims, and the charging case is excellent. Charging is quick, and the use of USB-C makes life easy. There's no wireless charging, but this is an option that I do not miss. Now the bad news. The bundled tips that come with these earphones are just not acceptable in any way. Despite coming with seven different bud sizes across two different materials, these materials are simply sub-standard. For the price, there is no excuse for bundling such shoddy tips. To be clear, these buds enable a good listening experience, but their limits become readily apparent the moment you move around to any extent. This includes anything from speaking to walking. Several people have reported a vastly improved experience through the purchase of 'premium' tips. While this is encouraging, this is a premium device, and it should come with premium quality tips. While I accept that tips are ultimately going to be a 'consumable' for these buds, this does not excuse including substandard tips.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Please fix the sound software!!! I am one of the customers who receive terrible experience with the quality of call. I believe it was the sound software caused the problem. I found no problem with the speaker but the call receive was terrible. I experience the same problem when receiving wechat voice message. If you don't tick "focus on voice" option in the "headphone connect app", the message is a mess. After ticking it the message is completely fine. However, this problem did not occur in whatsapp. I have a feeling this was the problem causing everyone had a terrible experience in making a call. Could you please kindly help us to solve this problem! This product could be awesome if you could solve this problem. Listen to music is completely fine. Voice is very clear. The only thing I would ask for is having a version that has extra bass in it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unusable in the dark I bought these headphones recently. The sound quality is very good. Not as comfortable a fit as the airpods I had previously and the gesture controls are pretty clumsy. By far the biggest issue with these headphones is the blue flashing LEDs on each head phone. They each flash approximately every 5 seconds whilst in use, not even at the same time! This isn't much of an issue during the day but if you plan to use these at night or in bed, as I did, then they are completely unusable. The flashing LEDs will drive everyone around you crazy and although they are in your ears, they are so bright that you can see the flashing whilst wearing. I contacted Sony who informed me that the LEDs are part of the operation of the headphones and cannot be switch off so I had to fight to get a refund. I ordered these online and apparently shop I ordered them from does not accept returns for hygiene reasons (although they did relent when I contained). One to avoid unless you only plan to use them in the daylight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WF-1000XM3 - not up to Sony's usual quality Having done research and read reviews of these and various alternatives I bough a pair not realising the issue with the right ear bud cutting out. When they work the sound is great but the right bud can just cut out can be for a few seconds or a minute of so. Having done further research it appears to be a know issue that Sony just cannot resolve.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great purchase I am very pleased with these. The sound is excellent for ear buds. These are my first pair of the expensive kind and they beat my expectations for sound performance. I recommend using the graphic equaliser settings in the app which improves the output. The noise cancelling is fine. From reading other reviews I think some are expecting the same performance as regular headphones. I didn't expect that so I am pleased with the performance. The default ear plugs have been fine but I have only been using them house so may need to experiment for walking. However, there have been no problems with them staying in. To sum up, a high performance sound with good bass levels and stereo separation but vocals not quite as strong as over ear headphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for Media - HORRIBLE for Phone Calls I've had these for a year and gone through several firmware updates in that time. These are amoung the best earbuds out there when it comes to sound and noise cancellation for use with music, movies, games, etc. However, there is a major flaw/issue with call quality. The second you switch from media to making a phone call (any kind of call or video chat - regular, duo, messenger, etc) the sound gets extremely jarbled up and distorted. It's loud and almost painful - sounds a lot like the sounds dial-up internet used to make when connecting. This makes these $200+ earbuds useless for phone calls. When I want to make a call, I pull out my $35 cheapo earbuds which have excellent sound quality for calls. I've tried changing all sorts of settings and nothing particular helps. If you were to call the same person 5 times in a row - 1 out of those 5 the issue wouldn't be there and sound would be fine. But about 80% of the time the issue is there which makes them useless for any type of phone call or video chat. I would not recommend these based on that fact. When I can get $35 earbuds that have better quality sound for calls and video chats than these, you can't justify the price. That being said, I will say these are excellent for media only and that's what I use them for but I am sorely disappointed at the call issue and that it's never been resolved in any of the firmware updates.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound quality Great sound quality! Got these for work and their awesome. Battery life is good depending on how much you use it. I use mine for phone calls mainly. Charge time is fast. Great fit! Comes with a selection of silicone rubber ear buds and triple comfort ear buds (kind of foamy). Both silicone and rubber ear buds come in different sizes. Sleek charging case design. Earbuds magnetically connect inside the case. The case also closes magnetically. Noise cancelling works well. Love that they adjust to the sound around you.

I wish they had wings or hooks however, they slept few times and I find myself checking the grip very often since.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 1 star is too good for these headphones I purchased them almost 2 months. I have tried to work out with them with issues of disconnections after every 15-20 minutes connection, difficulty pairing with apple devices, and they didn’t stay in ears while working out (I started use them during working out 2 weeks ago). They didn’t want to accept the return and give me a refund. Do I need to replace my ears to fit Sony headphones?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love them so far I’ve had them for 2 weeks now and they are great. Fantastic quality of sound with good intelligent features such as turning off automatically when you take them out and being able to use them individually in either ear. Great fit and they stay in place. The charging case is well designed and the batteries last for ages.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sound 10/10, noise cancelling 3/10 Bought on the strength of 5 star review from What Hi-Fi, but a bit of a mixed bag in my experience. Firstly, I couldn’t get a decent fit in my ear with any of the supplied ear tips so the sound was thin with no bass. After swapping to the tips supplied with my Sony MDR EX 650’s, I suddenly found out why What Hi-Fi gave them 5 star for sound! The bass is great without being overwhelming and the mid range clarity brilliant. I have since swapped to INAIRS memory foam tips, which are even better. Noise cancelling though? On that front the EX 650’s block out more noise than these without having a noise cancelling feature! I have tried the various settings in the Sony connected app and can’t get the noise cancelling any better than quite poor...ie car engines and voices break through the music more than the previously mentioned Sony earbuds (but they can’t match the sound quality of the WF 1000XM3’s). The charging carry case is a nice touch and feels like a high quality item. It’s also great to be able to walk around without cables and have such great sound. Finally, I am a Hi-Fi nut and have spent a fortune on equipment over the last 40 years, and my main headphones are £800, so I do recognise good sound and build quality when I see it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decent but lacking in calls and control Bought these for two purposes, listening to music while working and then telephone calls. Music quality is superb but it's hit or miss when you double tap that it goes to the new song which sounds small but it starts to irritate. But not nearly as bad as phone calls, when you get customers calling and saying it's like I'm ringing from the 90s because the quality is that bad. All this from £200+ headphones isn't good enough, especially when I'm ending up using wired £10 ones when driving which isn't handle but at least the call quality is miles better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good quality, great sound. Before I bought these, I had a good look on Amazon's reviews to see what people were saying. A few said they weren't loud enough, and some said they didn't have enough bass. Let me tell you, both are untrue. Maybe they just didn't use the app that you use with it, but that has preset EQ settings, as well as 2 manual settings, so there's no reason not to get the sound you like. It even has an extra bass slider that really thumps out the low end. The volume seems fine to me, unless you want your ears to bleed. The only negative I can think of is that compared to some, they are a little heavy in the ears and my delicate lugs couldn't handle it for say, three albums worth of music, but that might just be me. Overall a great pair of headphones, noise cancelling is good, and it doesn't upset the quality of the audio, call quality is good in the ears, but I was told my voice was difficult to hear if you have a bit of background noise, which I guess is to be expected. If you have a smart watch like me, I prefer to control volume and track via the watch, rather than tapping the headset. If you buy some, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrible experience with iPhone XS Returned to seller as I could not get them to work well with an iPhone XS or iPad Pro 10.5". No matter what settings I tried there was distortion in the playback (classical and pop). After a day of struggling to get acceptable sound out of them I gave up and returned them. Replaced with AirPod Pros which have been faultless. Did I get a faulty example - based on may other positive reviews - very possibly, but I wasn't prepared to take that chance and go for a replacement as the ear fit (despite the variety of tips supplied) never felt secure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love Noise Cancellation I bought it last week after watching so many reviews and my last two choices were Sony and Senniheiser. But the later one can’t buy in my country and I chose Sony. Over all features, there is no flaws I’ve to point out. I do love it. Sometimes the sound lags when I connected to my pc (not happens with phone and amazon fire stick). I hope it can also play Hi-Res Audio or has LDAC support! Overall points - 4.5/5

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not as good as they are made out to be Bought these due to positive reviews. Getting them to fit and stay in your ears is almsot impossible they fall.out even when juat walking. You get lots of wind noise when using them outside. Sound quality is excellent if you could only get them to stay in your ears and only use them indoors. Having previously used Bose with a different in ear design these were definitely the qrong type for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Broken? I was initially happy with these; the noise cancelling is great and they’re simple and easy to use. They require an app for setup but once done can be deleted (except for updates but if it ain’t broke...). However, they have some issue when paired to multiple devices - short glitches and dropouts that don’t occur with a single device. And they also get out of sync occasionally and even stopped responding forcing a factory reset. The right ear piece has developed a malfunction too, the blue led stays on continuously. This drains the battery very quickly making them unusable, just two months after purchase. I intend to get in touch with a Sony support regarding this for a replacement. I haven’t had difficulty with a cheaper ‘clone’.

I haven't found it easy to change the settings or use any of the special features, but hope to work it out eventually. The only other annoying things are the irritating voice telling you things like battery level when you put the headphones in (I'm sure you can switch it off but there are some things I do want to be told) and the fact that the connection is terrible when I'm listening to things online, but I think that's mainly the fault of my phone rather than the headphones. Haven'[t found them very comfortable but they are getting more so, and I know I have sensitive ears!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great choice for true wireless I bought these to replace a pair I have used for a couple of years, whilst they weren’t in this quality I was amazed by the massive difference in sound quality. I prefer the true wireless format due to portability and simple use without being obvious you have headphones on Like others I found the foam buds the best fit I would just like to comment on a few of the review comments which almost put me off the purchase. As with all Bluetooth devices You will only get the best out of them if the source is best quality, feed these with the a good source and they are superb and defiantly lift the music. I use Spotify and download to an sd card on my phone at highest quality as I have plenty storage space, All settings are for highest quality storage and transmission. Fit. Everyone’s ears are different and you have to get the correct fit both for sound and security, I agree you probably shouldn’t use them for running but I have played a few rounds of golf with them now and at no point did I have to adjust them or feel they were falling out, comfort is perfect. Wind noise. There is a wind noise reduction setting on the slider in the app after cancelling and before ambient options, I have found this to work well. Connection. I have found this to be very good, I was working in the garden and had to go to garage at front of house, I was in the garage and realised they were still working which is a serious distance for Bluetooth. [phone was still on table in garden] As with all reviews they are down to opinion, I almost didn’t order these due to some negatives. I am extremely pleased with these as the sound is exceptional which is their real purpose If you have any doubts give them a chance you won’t be disappointed if you feed them a quality source.

The only bad thing is it’s name, cmon Sony other earbuds have so much cooler names.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from wow..just wow !! I decided to go for these despite the odd negative review and i have to say they are one of the best things i have bought. Really nice snazzy charging case, really cool ear buds with red lights to mean charge and blue lights to say battery charged, also an inbuilt mic. Also touch pads on each bud to control what you do though downloading the sony headphone app on to your phone is a must do as you can toggle sounds, equalizers what bud controls what. I have seen the odd review about this product not being loud enough and intially it was my only disappointment but after tweaking things a touch its all sorted !!! On the app where it states where the song is playing there is a sound bar, push this bar all the way to the right so its on full, then use which bud you have in to control the sound to max capacity by swiping up then lastly each the volume button on you smart phone to increase volume and wow!! sound is banging out. its so loud for me that i lower the volume on my phone by a couple. So overall i'm really, really impressed. Please ignore the odd negative remark due to sound volume etc and follow my advice for a great loud, clear, crisp set of really cool era buds...well done sony !!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Extremely disappointed with product I received this product this Christmas and was really looking forward to use Sony earbuds after all the positive review online and Youtube. In my case the product worked in January and stopped working in February. Suddenly it just wouldn't connect to my phone or laptop. I had to wait for several months for the earbuds to be mended (OK, I totally understand all of the difficulties related to Covid-19, so no problem here). Guess what - today i got my earbuds back and they still don' work. I mean, you probably have to be a computer genius or something to connect and use this product. I really really did not expect this, Sony. At first the left earbud was not connecting, now it is the right one. After unpairing earbuds with my phone now I am not able to pair earbuds to the phone at all. All in all, i am extremely disappointed - how can you make such good products that in reality are just unusable. I will probably go and buy earbuds that are produced my a manufacturer of the phone that I am using - I just tired of the fact that i am not able to connect earbuds to my phone and trying to do it for 100 times at least. Sony, i really hope that your next product will be more usable than this. Good luck in the future.

The only criticism is that they quite often feel like they are going to fall out and have done. I am using the smallest earbuds they are supplied with. I have a different brand of in ear headphones that never seem to fall out. Maybe an upgrade of the earbuds is required.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from OMG So i was confused if i should go for airpods pro or WF-1000XM3 . so i got sony and mannnnn, sony dominate the sound industry. These are one of the best earbuds out there and after using these, i wont even consider trying earpods. Active noise cancelling is best, cant hear britney spears gym music during workout, not even a bit. i would highly recommend these. airpods pro vs these is like Flex vs taste.You got the idea.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good sound quality but too many issues I bought these 2 weeks ago and I think I am happy although I can't help but getting annoyed with them. They constantly disconnect for half a second and reconnect. I would say atleast every 10 minutes. Sometimes they make a white noise sound for a second and this can continu happening every minute, maybe 10 times. The sound quality is undeniably good but knowing it's 170 pounds in the back of my head and them having these little qwerks constantly it's hard to really enjoy them. Would I buy them again? definitely not. I like them but I also really regret having bought them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better instructions Delighted with the quality of the product. Good sound. Not sure how to work once the buds are in your ears as not clear instructions on how to pause, take phone calls etc. Overall very pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from "Sound" investment Bought these after trawling a miriad of reviews on different websites and in "tech" magazines. The sound is amazing, they are simple to set up to your own preferences and look good. Would highly recommend these in-earphones. Everything I've come to expect from Sony.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Uncomfortable and Will Not stay in ear These are the most awkward pair of headphones I've ever owned. Even when inserting into ear as directed I'm lucky if they stay in my ear for more than 2 minutes. This is with the smallest ear bud too. If I try inserting it any further I'm bound to rupture an eardrum so it's not from lack of depth but if there's any amount of movement whatsoever involved.there they go. It's at the point where it's starting to make me want to rage. Seriously feel like I wasted my money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from £165.... But amazing!! Definitely the best earbuds for price, didn't want to pay so much but anything priced less than these are a waste of money. Perfect connection, amazing sound, incredible features when using with phone (Google assistant for me). Would of loved Google assistant on one ear and Alexa on the other, that would of made it unbeatable for features, but cannot complain about what it does. £165 is expensive for earbuds however you look at it, but I wouldn't advise cheaping out (from experience), this was worth it in the long run. Compared to others around this price, Sony have taken top spot as expected from their reputation. Would I recommend to a friend?.... Absolutely!!!! Already bragging about them

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great but not perfect So I bought these buds yesterday after buying the wf-sp700n sport tws around a month ago. Compare to the sp700n and it predecessor the 1000x, the mark 3 version bring up a lot more to the table. This and some improvements/fixing in some problem that the older models have that are unfixable through normal firmware updates, essentially help the buds became more negligible for the high price tag (230$) Although there are still more room for improvement * Firstly: the sound Bass is tight and well control, not as great for bass head as the sp700n but great for casual listening. Mid: there are more detail and clarity in the vocal/instrumental compare to the sp700n, the sound stage is very big compare to other tws, mid is still very forward (in which I like). Although I would like a to see (hi res audio) listed. Treble: a lot more lively and sparkly than the sp700n, fairly bright but not too harsh. * Secondly, the design is very elegant and classy (buds and the case). Although being large, the case is fairly pocketable. The buds on the other hand are a little too big, this made it uncomfortable and unstable for small ear due to the fact that it sticks out a lot. And the claim of 3 contact points for stability is false, at least for Asian ear. The outer material for the case can maybe use some improvement, like some kind of anti-scratch coating, because after using these for half day, then I bought a rubber case later that night. * Next is the feature of the buds. (this include feature that is listed on the web side and the app) Beginning with ambient mode: work great, nothing to complain about. DSEE HX: can’t really tell the different on Spotify but low res on YouTube seem to be improve a little bit. The touch control: it controls most of the essential need so its fine, although the option for smart assistant to replace the activation/deactivation for the ambient/ANC seem unnecessary. EQ: the option to customize and fine tune your preference for different signature to suit a variety of genre is a great improvement over the older version (older version only give preset EQ). ANC (active noise cancellation) maybe the main selling point of this buds. And after a few hours of listening I must say, I am not that impress. While the ANC on this buds is way better than any tws ANC I have ever heard, but compare to the over ears headphone and the WI-1000xm2 models this hasn’t come any close to any of them. The buds are amazing at low frequency noise like: airplane, AC, Cars driving by, the wind, white noise ,… (most urban noise than can effect low volume music). but still higher frequency sound like: taking, loud music, construction sight, the mall, coffee shop,… the buds are not too effective against these kind of noise, but then most of these noise appear in places where you would want to take advantage of the ANC. So despite using the smaller model of the chip that is use in the WH-1000xm3 and the WI-1000xm2 the ANC performance for this version is nowhere to be impress with.(I don’t think ANC is the main selling point). The 360 reality audio: For me seem to be a gimmick, it like the 230$ we spend haven’t been enough and now you want us to spend more on a subscription on an app that isn’t widely popular among the general public. How about support 360 audio on the your “Music Center” app. * Finally, the spec. Battery performance (6-8h buds) (18h case) on this buds (1000xm3) is a must needed improvement over the 1000x (mark 1) (3h buds) (6 h case) The dual connection is amazing, it really helps with minimizing the delay and switching between devises,… For the support of the BT codex, I wish these buds support aptex and ldac for better audio quality. (consider most of your over ear model support all if not most of the listed codex) I still wish there were some kind of water resistance on these, knowing some kind of water protection would make the user feel easier to wear while traveling. In conclusion, these earbuds one of the greatest out there and but there are still more feature and spec that need improvement. I hope the next fragship will bring upon the perfect user experience. Would I suggest this to a friend, depend but most of the time Yes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Firmware needs improvement Dear Sirs, Please, do let us change the default playback controls of the Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones! I think it's a good product overall, but there is one thing I find extremely frustrating, especially given the price of the product and the potential it has: the lack of advanced control customization. The mobile app lets us change the touch sensor function, but it's not possible to change the operation method -- we are forced to use the default controls. For example, I like to use the touch sensor for playback control, but I don't like tapping twice for next track and three times for previous track -- and the app won't let me change this behavior. I need further customization. I use "previous track" frequently because I listen to a lot of classes and books, and the three-tap command rapidly becomes annoying. Three taps are a lot of taps when it's used frequently. I want to change "previous track" to two taps. I would love to be able to customize these (and other) controls. I hope you can add this feature in a future firmware update. Also, it's a pity the product is not waterproof. Many cheaper alternatives are.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound from a lovely gift These were a birthday prese t and I am so grateful, I can now garde, work and chill out without being strangled by cables. They are a little clunky ans I am still to find a really comfortable fit but with a wide selection of inner ear buds to choose from I will get there! I'm not used to in-ear either so that might be another reason. You can personalise the settings - something I am yet to do, to change the functions when tapping and I love the noise cancelling. Still getting to know these earphones but love them already.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not noise cancelling I've had my headphones just over a week. I have more or less stopped using them. They come out of my ears all too frequently. They also don't cancel the noise. Very disappointing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good sound, poor connectivity and controls Sound quality is really great! All that the reviews claim. Some great features as well. Very attractive look. However, on day 1 the bluetooth connection has already dropped out twice in one ear. Setup is quite complicated and confusing. I was unable to connect to my laptop. Very confusing to understand the different functions within the app (no explanations provided, have to manually research online). If you want to use Alexa, you lose the ability to modify the noise canceling/ambient sound function from the headset. The ear buds are extremely difficult to remove and put back on on the headset. And the headset doesn't feel entirely secure in my ears. I would not feel comfortable running or moving too much with them in. The Triple-comfort earbuds don't stay in at all. Very big battery drain on my phone (if you choose to use the Adaptive Sound Control feature).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great but needs a few minor tweeks I've had these buds for 2 weeks now I love them. Sound is excellent, really immersive. Phone calls work really well. Exercising in them is easy. I love no wires. Plenty of adjustments can be made to get sound just as you want it. But with a couple of minor tweaks these would be perfect. I must have big ear holes because the silicone buds aren't tight enough, I've modified the largest buds to make them tighter. It's probably me but I find that the noise cancelling could be stronger. The final problem is that I'll be listening to iplayer, when I remove the buds to chat to someone then put them back in my phone music player starts instead of iplayer resuming. It's probably a settings issue but there's no help on the web. Never happened with my old wireless headphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound quality These headphones really are worth spending that bit extra for. The sound quality for in ear phones is superb. You need to make sure you have the correct fitting bud in (various sizes come in the package). Once you have them snug in your ears they produce a really nice sound. Bass is clear and the mid and high ranges are clear. Well worth it if you like in ear headphones and want to upgrade from packaged ones with your mobile or a cheaper pair!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Limited or no support for Bluetooth Transimitters Unfortunate that they will not pair with Tx devices, or if they do, impossible to know which one. How is it that $25 earbuds can connect to whatever they want, but, $300 buds are a struggle to connect to anything?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent audio My airpods started loosing battery fast and I decided I wanted some better sound and something different to apple. I read reviews of these and they really do give a great sound but from time to time they disconnect and reconnect whilst listening to music. It’s quick but it’s annoying. Also I have had a few phone calls whilst using them and even whilst indoors the other person has struggled to hear me. Great if you want wireless audio but if you are someone that takes a lot of calls using your headphones I wouldn’t recommend

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceeded Expectations I have used Sony wired earphones and headphones for many years, and have never doubted the quality. They are the first brand I consider for audio/video equipment. At first I wasn't sure about using wireless earphones. Would the connection be consistent? Would the earphones stay in my ears? Would the sound be as good? For the Sony WF-1000XM3 the answer to these is yes! I have used these earphones for a couple of weeks now and am very impressed with the quality of sound, the features, the ergonomics and the durabilty. The sound is rich and clear - I found myslelf hearing details in songs that I had not previously noticed. One slight quibble would be that I would like a bit of extra volume as some older music was'nt made quite as loud as it is in the present day. There are lots of settings to tailor the sound and controls and a very useful app that is free to download for Android and IOS. This app has features that include a customisable graphic equaliser, noise cancelling options, power off, battery indicators and settings to choose what the touch controls on each unit actually do. The noise cancelling feature is very impressive. The settings can be adjusted in increments from full noise cancelling through to allowing in all external ambient sounds for safety purposes. There is also a setting that blocks the sound of wind blowing on the outsides of the earphones whilst out and about, which I find very useful. The settings for this is controlled via the app but can also be allocated to one of the touch controls. Otherwise, thy touch controls can be made to adjust volume, track forward / back, play / pause and even to initialise your voice-controlled virtual assistant. Overall, the great sound, useful features and quality of build make these the perfect wireless earphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Headphones Give an Excellent Experience These headphones are really great to use as the noise-canceling technology helps in giving it a great experience. Connecting the headphones through Bluetooth is an easy process as once the case opens with the headphones inside of them then you can connect them. Wireless connectivity is really good on these headphones as I can roam around my house and they don't lose the connection that easily on the same floor. The charging case is on the bulkier side but it does fit inside a pocket so it can be carried around. The additions of extra earpieces were a plus as everyone has a different ear size. The only downfall is the software updates as those can stop at any moment. I blame the app and not the headphone for that. The battery life is excellent than most of the other headphones and at even low battery the sound quality doesn't change. On top of that, the touch controls are easy to use and easy to change as you seem fit through the app. Overall, the sound quality is really good and with the adaptive sound control, it makes it even better. The design of these headphones is really good as it is small and compact. All in all, these headphones are one of the best out there and I hope they continue to produce the same quality in the long run as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound quality! I was so excited to get these Sony wireless Noise Cancelling head phones. I was still using the earphones that came with my mobile phone and they had the cords/wire. I had never used a wireless set and am so happy that I got to try these! Set up was really easy and the ap helped me a lot too. I was a little nervous about getting started with setting them up but it was super easy! After setting the headphones up and linking them to my mobile phone, it was time to listen to some tunes! I was blown away by the sound quality of these and had never heard music sound so crisp and clear. It's weird taking them out and just listening to the car stereo through the cars speakers, they do not even compare! Another thing that I was really impressed with was the different sizes of interchangeable ear pieces that were included. These will fit any ear comfortably with all the different size options. I am in love with these and I highly recommend them! They are worth the money and I promise, you've never experienced headphones quite like these!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best wireless earbuds with noise cancellation I have used many true a.k.a compact wireless earbuds available in the market from various manufacturers but Sony WF-1000XM3 are the best wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation. Sound quality and noise cancellation is definitely a step forward compared to other options. Fit is fine for me. Battery life is great too. I was able to use it for 10+ hours every time. Quick charge feature is nice too. It uses USB type C charger. I wish it also had aptx support and works with multiple devices at once. It can be paired with multiple devices but cannot be connected to more than one device at once. It also has a mic and call quality is okay (but not great) for my use. Overall, I'd definitely recommend these earbuds to those who are looking for best true wireless experience with noise cancellation and long battery life combined with fast charging experience. If you need earbuds that supports aptx or want it to be connected to more than 1 device at once, you will need to look somewhere else.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A for comfort and sound quality I have worn these at two healthcare settings where I wanted to limit having to reach or touch my phone. The pods look like they may be too big at first glance, but once the correct size silicone ear cushion, they do not move and stay comfortably in place. The noise cancellation is superb and the sound quality is amazing. The volume goes up high if that's what you're into while maintaining perfect clarity of sound. The charging case is conveniently sized, can easily fit in my pocket or purse without taking up excessive space. The battery life is impressive as well, with me not having to worry about charging with all day use until I get home I have tried three other competitor brands and I can say whole heartedly these are my top pick!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Packs a punch I have tiny ear canals, so try to find wireless ear buds is a task in and of itself. They usually fall out of my ears constantly. These come with like 6 different size earbud silicons and I was able to find one that fit like glove. Now for the important part. I am an independent contractor. As such, having wires hanging so you can have hands free conversation is not really good, but it's been my only option. These not only stay in my ear, but have awesome noise canceling ability and sharp clarity. When I first put these in, my 17 year old was yelling at me from 5 feet away, and I was clueless. They really work to block ambiant sound. Very good sound quality. Def recommend if you need something like this, especially if you have smaller ear canals.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost perfect I have used these and they are just about the most comfortable headphones I have used. The battery life is good. I love the sound quality. My only issues, which are minor, are: 1. The storge/charging container is oriented upside down when you have the cable plugged in. Not a big deal but a little weird. 2. When the headphones lose connectivity from inactivity from a device, I could only reconnect them but putting them away and taking them back out. Again, not a big deal but I haven't figured out another way of doing it. Other then that these things work amazing!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superior sound, technology and craftsmanship. First and foremost I have to give props on the craftsmanship of the case, earbuds and the packaging itself. I wouldn't expect anything less from Sony. Second, the technology built into these in-earbuds are truly spectacular. The sound is superb and surpasses any other buds I currently own. They truly give off an over-the-ear headphones experience. The noise canceling feature is beyond anything that is currently out there for earbuds. I've gotten a good 4-5 hours with continuous playback of videos and with Active Noise Canceling on high but when turned off, you can get 1-2 hours more. The buds themselves are very well held by strong magnets and the cover is well designed that the buds will not fall out if held upside-down. Nicely done Sony. A small length Type-C cable is provided for charging but any decent cable will work. The case itself will give you about 3 charges. And with only a 10 minute charge you can get about 1.5 hours of play. Just open the lid and it will start the Bluetooth pairing for you to find and connect on your device. If you have an Android device with NFC you can just touch them together and voila! You can connect to 2 devices and switch between them. To connect to a 2nd or another device touch both buds for about 7 seconds. They work right away with or without the app (Sony Headphones Connect). But you will be able to do more customized settings with it. You will be required to take pictures of both ears so that the app can give you an optimized experience. They do have a Touch interface so one will control the Ambient Sound/Voice Assistant and the other one Playback. Also if you touch the Ambient side, it will let you hear the outside sound as long as it's being touched. Ambient features works really good. It adjusts your sound according to the level of noises in your surrounding. They do work with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri. I've used both Android's assistant but not with Siri yet. They also come with extra different sized ear bud tips for you to find the right size. The Sony Wf-100xm3 headphones are a great purchase. The price is fair and the quality is amazing. I've already ordered a 2nd pair as a gift.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony WF-1000XM3 First off, I was super skeptical when I ordered these as I have never been a fan of ear buds; I have always preferred actual headphones, either wired or Bluetooth. Most ear buds are too heavy, fall out easily, or do not fit correctly and hurt my ears. Not these! They were super lightweight, and came with multiple sizes of ear bud tips, which meant I was able to find a set of tips which fit my ears perfectly, making them comfortable and preventing the ear buds from falling out. I unpacked the WF-1000XM3's and let them charge for about 20 minutes. I was too excited to go longer; I wanted to try them out and see if they were as good as advertised, and I was not disappointed. After downloading the app and making sure they were connected to my phone, I put them in and wore them while taking a walk. The sound was impeccable and after awhile I almost forgot they were in! When I returned home I placed them in the charger and let them fully charge. Lately I use them more days than not, especially with being at home due to the pandemic, and on average, I will get 7-8 hours of use from them before requiring a recharge. The wireless connectivity and bluetooth were easy to set up and worked fairly well, however if you move the wrong way, sometimes the headphones have a tendency to disconnect and shut down. This does not happen often, but it did occur enough times to make me aware of how much I move while wearing them. Sound and music quality are awesome; I felt like whatever I am listening to is right in front of me, like a live performance would sound! I am a student and these are great to use to block out my children when trying to listen to videos for class. I cannot say enough good things about them and encourage you to try a pair; I doubt you will be disappointed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First Wireless Headphones These are the first wireless headphones that I've used. I have been using the white ones that came with my phone forever. I am a runner so the cord is often super annoying. These Sony Noise canceling headphones are amazing. Upon opening the box, I was first impressed by how nice looking the case is. Black with a bronze/goldish outline. The headphhones themselves fit snugly in the charging box. Super easy to set up with my phone/bluetooth also! I have gone on a few runs with these so far and they do an amazing job of canceling out other noises and giving me clear sound to either my music or podcasts. I am still trying different sizes of the ear pieces to make sure I have the perfect fit for my ears. They do stay in place well and have never fallen out! I don't think I could ever go back to wired headphones!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Sound Quality Buds I’ve been using the Sony WF-100oMX3’s for a couple of weeks and I have to say they are incredible! The sound quality on them is amazing, I actually switched streaming services to take full advantage. I have a few pairs of other noise cancelling earbuds and these far exceed their competitors and the battery life is unbelievable. I’m used to getting 3 hours max out of other buds and I’m getting 5 or more a day at work. I’ve been wearing them nonstop at work and they are also extremely comfortable, I’d recommend these for anyone like me who enjoys listening to music all day at work you will love these and they won’t cause discomfort like some others do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceptional ! Its an exceptional set of earbuds. Sound quality is amazing and the noise cancelling works well when your surroundings go from quiet to any kind of surrounding noise. Inside the box you get: XS,S,M,L silicone ear tips S,M,L rubber or something ear tips 1 foot or so USB to USB type C cable Case And the earbuds Very good audio quality with options to tweak to your preference. Decent battery life and Stylish. I go into my Bluetooth settings in my smartphone and see the WF-1000XM3 (device name) appear I tap to connect and the voice inside the buds should confirm you’re connected. Every time you take the headphones out of their case and put them in your ears you’ll hear a voice confirming the Bluetooth connection and battery life. Google Assistant works well. If you want a quality, in-ear noise canceling bud, these will likely make you happy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Sound Quality The best headphones I have ever tried! I do have other headphones but after using Sony I have been using Sony headphones every day, Noise-Canceling is the best part while I am working from home. I would give 5 stars for battery life as with one charge I can you sony headphones all day long with the noise-canceling feature. The sound quality is very impressive as you can hear the instruments and bass very clearly and it sounds so natural. Defiantly I am recommending the Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones to all my friends and family

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great but not the best imo These are very good headphones but I won’t say they are the best. Sound quality is very good. Case is a bit bulky compared to others. I will say one problem I had with these since they sit in your ear is my ear would get very itchy after extended use. I use headphones 8-12 hours a day and they sound good, battery life is great but get tired of wearing them. I really wish the case was smaller. Noise cancelling is decent but These are one of the best but not the absolute best I’m my opinion. It is decent. Bluetooth Pairing is a little on the difficult side if you are not tech savy. There is no actual button to get into pair mode and you need to use app to make it easier. I wish they would improve that where the app isnt needed. Controls are simple but again if your not tech savy they will be difficult. Biggest dislike is how uncomfortable they get after extended use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sounding earbuds with Noise Cancelling I am very impressed with sound quality from Sony WF-1000XM3 wireless earbuds. I have tried several different wireless earbuds with different brands, and I can comfortably say this has the best sound quality with wide margin. Does this replace my big over-the-ear headphones for sound quality? Maybe not, but it comes very close in terms of clarity and sound separation. Noise cancelling (NC) is the other area WF-1000XM3 shines. It's very convenient that I can preset NC level based on my activity. i.e., when I sit down, it maximizes NC. And as it detects more motion, it provides more ambient sound. Good thing these can be easily configured in the phone. Only complain; it notifies whenever the ambient mode is changed. I would much prefer single beep for the change rather than saying "ambient mode enabled/disabled". Regarding touch control, it can be mapped to several different options choose from: ambient sound, playback, volume, Google or Alexa, or not assigned at all. I found it is most convenient to map it playback (on right earbud), and ambient control on left. With playback control I can still bring Alexa by touch and hold, so thought dedicated assistant isn't necessary for my use. Bluetooth connectivity also is excellent. It has very long range of coverage (not sure exact number, but it's way better than other earbuds from another major brand). I paired with my Galaxy Note 10 phone. and I have not experienced any noticeable connection drop at all. One issue I noticed: very rarely audio volume lowered significantly although my phone's volume stays the same. Turning off, and back on resolved the problem though. I noticed Sony constantly pushes FW update, and so hopefully this issue is resolved soon. Lastly, I have to mention about its battery life. It actually exceeds 7 hours on full charge; this can be varied by personal usage. However, it's a good indication that it can last at least spec'd hour (6 hours). Combined with charging case, it lasts 3-4 days for my use case. Wonderful battery life indeed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Jackpot Sony! These wireless buds are amazing! I tried them and could not hear anything other than the music! When Sony says noise canceling they are exactly that. I feel like I hit the jackpot of earbuds. It was so easy to connect to Bluetooth. Sound quality is solid. I typically have trouble finding a size of buds that works for me but there were so many options for sizes right there in the box! I have been delaying making the switch to wireless buds and now I wish I wouldn't have waited. I know these will be my only pair! Charging is quick and easy. Everything is so small but provides the sound quality of a major sound system. When running they did not move one bit. A simple tap to pause the music or start it up again. Never thought the battery life would last so long. Love these buds!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best EarBuds Ever I love my new sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones / earbuds. I work from home and am constantly on my mobile, Zoom calls and listening to music and these earbuds make everything sound clear. Anytime I receive a call I just double tap on the earpiece to pick up the call. The noise-canceling work well too, my office is right outside the kids playroom and it blocks out their play/TV completely. I'm very happy I made the purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just like their bigger siblings...Fantastic Bottom line these are a miniaturized version of WH-1000XM3 which I absolutely love. They have all the features of the full size headphones, other than the battery life of course, and they fit in your pocket. Pairing is easy, just tap the charging case to the back of your NFC enabled phone after you download the Sony Headphone App and you're done. The app is critical because that's where these headphones really shine. The adaptive mode is awesome, it detects what you're doing and adjusts the settings of the headphones automatically. Working from home and your kids are building a fort in your living room / office, turn these on and you'll have to double check to make sure you still have kids. Out for a run, the settings will automatically allow in some ambient sound to keep you safe. Like a little risk with your runs, or if you're just a control freak, it's exceedingly easy to control just about all aspects of your sound experience from the app. I'm a bit of an audiophile and love being able to hear every little note and instrument in my music, I never thought I'd get that from headphones this small. The battery only lasts a few hours, so they aren't ideal for a long intercontinental flight, but hey who's flying these days anyway. I'd definitely take these for a two hour train ride or a long commute, and that's only if you're using all the features. So for the cons, these may not be the best headphones to use if you sweat a lot during your workouts like I do, but I think Sony makes a water resistant set, which I will definitely look into trying after my experience with these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality These are not your average headphones! I was sick of regular cheap headphones and was so glad I got these! They sound amazing! They are super easy to pair and fit the ear great! Plenty of adapters to get the perfect fit! I can easily wear them while working out without worrying about them falling out! The adaptive sound control is amazing. Nothing better than having them adjust to your activity! The case is nice to store and travel with and the battery last longer than any I've had in the past! This is a better and more convenient replacement to the over the ear headphones! You get what you pay for!! The sound quality and noise cancellation is top notch. You hear what you want to hear and nothing else! My new favorite thing! I wear these all day and couldn't be happier!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Headphones!!! I have been using the Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones for a few weeks now and I have to say that there great. I work in an office that’s very loud and I can say that the Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones has made my work place great for me. I have been able to do more work because I have been able to flow when I have my Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones in. The best thing about the Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones would be the battery life you can listen to music for hours and hours and it still has battery power. You never have to worry about your battery dying on me. I love that you can charge the headphones in the case. The sound quality is very impressive the singers/ instruments you can hear them very clearly and it sounds so natural. I would recommend the Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones to everyone that I know.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 360 Audio Blows My Mind Before purchasing Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones, I had never heard of 360 Reality Audio. I didn't even know I needed this in my life. Now I can't imagine using headphones without it. It literally sounds like you're at a concert. Once you sign into the app and assign your controls to the actual buds, use is super easy. If you skip this step, you'll have to use the app every time you want to control volume, playback, etc., which would be a huge pain, imo. I'm not the biggest fan of buds in terms of comfort, but these come with so many size options of buds to fit your ear, so that really helps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from These things ROCK I've had these headphones in my possession for a couple days, and I have to say they live up to my expectations. So far, here's the pros: Battery life is directly on the mark with what's advertised. I used it in my office with noise cancelling on, volume at mid-levels from 11-5 before the left earphone died. The right still had 20% - maybe using the touch controls for playback a lot causes quicker battery drain? Along with battery levels, charging from the case also seems on the mark. After the earbuds died, I threw them in the case and left for a quick walk. 20 minutes later, my right earbud went from 20%->100%, and the left from 0%->70%. Music quality is great. These sound excellent on the "Excited" EQ preset to me, and I rotate through all kinds of genres. The noise cancelling is good once you get use to the settings The cons: No wireless charging. It's a shame with the bulky case and would make things way more convenient. No volume controls/option for volume controls. Having to open use my device to change volume all the time is kind of more annoying than I originally thought it would be. No way to quickly change noise cancelling modes without the app. Overall, I really like these things and I'm super satisfied with the risk I took ordering them before reviews came out. If you're on the fence, I'd buy these. I'll update this review in the future if I have any other complaints/issues, but I'm honestly really happy with these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from True wireless earbuds for audiophiles These earbuds absolutely blow me away with their sound quality. They easily beat any other bluetooth headphones I have, even the bigger "can"-style sets which I paid an equivalent price for. They really deliver in every range - bass, mids, and highs, without sounding too boomy with that underwater quality. No tinniness at all. Honestly, listening to music on these kind of ruins other wireless earbuds for me - like eating a perfectly seared ribeye then going back to eating a microwaved steak at a chain restaurant. I'm also a big podcast and audiobook listener - I didn't think that sound quality really mattered much for spoken word, but it really is so much more immersive to listen with clear voice quality and active noise cancelling. Speaking of ANC, these are my first pair of headphone with noise cancelling, and I'm kind of hooked. I really like how it can be turned on and off so that I can choose whether I'm ignoring my surroundings or just looking like I am :). Seriously though, noise cancelling really contributes to hearing the full quality of the sound that the buds produce. Really nice build quality both in the buds and the case. Everything is super snappy and sturdy-feeling. For my ear size (medium), they cut a perfect profile, in my opinion. I really like the way they look in my ears. I would wear them out and about and not worry about looking like a goof or hyper trendy. I really like the copper accents, very classic. Battery life is great with the included charging case. The case keeps them topped up and I plug that in maybe once a week. Never had a problem with wireless connectivity through the Bluetooth. They're totally seamless to pair and while listening. The one caveat I will say about these buds is that they were not built as beaters for the gym. I definitely take them out for a run on a clear day, but I would leave them home in the rain or super sweaty conditions (think drenched headband rubbing up against them). Most competitor companies making these types of buds are targeting the casual consumer who wants to wear them in all conditions including sweaty workouts. These are made with audiophiles in mind - definitely the top of the line for sound quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony never disappoints ! The Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones are amazing. They come well packaged and the contents of the box are neat and organized. The instructions are very easy to understand, and set up does not take long at all. The earbuds design is very sleek and comfortable. There are different rubber options for the optimal fit for your ear. This is important so that the headphones fit properly, and so that you achieve optimal noise cancellation. Once you have them fitted properly, and paired you are ready to enjoy amazing audio quality. The sound fills your ears and your music comes to life. I love that it's so simple to pause the music, just simply remove one ear bud. When you're ready to continue, just put the earbud back in and your music resumes. One of my favorite features of the Sony Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones is that you can use them with your virtual assistant. A quick little tap and I can now voice command anything to Alexa. This makes adding reminders and notes a breeze. It also gives me the ability to play all of my Amazon music that I have purchased. The battery life on the Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones is great! On a full charge the headphones will last for 6 hours. The Sony headphones also give you a quick charge option that will last for 90 minutes of play time. The charging case makes charging a breeze. Each earbud has a unique color circle with either L or R on it, it makes getting the correct ear bud in the correct charging hole so much easier. The magnet guides the earbud in quickly and lines them up perfectly. The Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones are my favorite earbuds. Sony has made another stellar product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exactly what I needed! These headphones were way better than I expected: The Look: Earbuds and charging case look sleek as well as slick The Fit: These fit perfectly snug in my ears. They feel secure and safe from falling when doing various activities, such as bike riding, walking, bbq'ing and gardening. Plus, they come with extra buds to choose from for different fits. The Size: The headphones look a little big in my ears, but not overwhelming. As far as the case, it fits in the front of my jeans pocket with no problem. I can't wait to travel with these and ditch carrying my bulky, over the ear headphones on airplane trips. The Sound: These sound awesome. Very clear while playing music.. I can hear much more detail than my previous headphones. Surprisingly very good amount of bass! With the increase in my video conference meetings, these headphones have been perfect. No issues with incoming sound or the microphone. The Features: My favorite feature is the noise-cancelling and ambient sound settings. Once I enter noise-cancelling mode I hear nothing from the outside world. he ambient sound mode is a nice feature! While listening to music I can still hear enough of the surrounding noises and sounds. Can't wait to try this feature when I can go back to my office and interact with co-workers. An additional feature I like is the fact that you can depress the left earbud while in use and it will lower the volume so you can talk to someone without removing the headphones. The mic turns on so you can hear the person you are talking to. Lastly, I haven't used the mobile app much yet, but looking forward to diving deeper into it. Definitely, will be my daily use headphones for multiple activities!! Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Software update makes call quality fantastic Bought these online with the discount. Great price and also the delivery was very fast (next day delivery) I was worried about the earbuds as the reviews consistently rated the call quality as very bad. Sony updated the firmware in Jan 2020 this year and now i am amazed at the call quality which is very important for me to use these at work. One thing that i love about my other phones is that it can connect to two devices at once. Its great for pairing with my work laptop and personal phone so i can jump on microsoft teams call on my laptop but not worry about disconnecting/reconnecting. One issue though is that it sometimes doesnt know which to connect to. Sony does not have multiple connections but i actually prefer it given the NFC connection. I connect on my laptop with a couple of clicks and when I'm finished, i tap the sony case to my phone and instant reconnection. No need to disconnect on the previous device. So many other pros - Battery life is a dream (6 + 18) with the fast charging - Noise cancelling - NFC connection - Sound quality with an equalizer in the app - 8 ear bud options included in box - USB-C port - Beautiful design, love the case - App integration, and several moving profiles with noise cancellation adjustments - tap buttons can be toogled for personal preference - Google assistant compatible - No master slave relationship Cons - Case is a little large - No IP rating (probably the largest downside for me) - No wireless charging - Not a fan of touch buttons esp when wet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound quality The sound quality of these are amazing. I can literally hear every single note. The volume range is also pretty awesome, it goes to as low volume as possible and really high too for noisy places. But I never have to go to high volume levels because the active and passive noise cancellation of these buds are amazing, I can literally not hear anything from outside, ofcourse with the ambient feature turned off. Some of the settings can only be adjusted with the Sony headphones app, once I downloaded the app, it opened up lot more features that I was not aware of otherwise. The touch controls are programmable and work flawlessly. I am super impressed that the Google voice assistant is built into the buds, so its just a tap away. And finally battery life- oh its awesome. After listening to hours of music, there was still battery left, I just popped it back into the case, and the next time its fully charged again. The case is little bit bulky but I dont mind, because it has a bigger battery means less worry about charging the case. And last but not least, these super comfortable to wear without hurting ears, infact I should say, I prefer to keep them on always, even when I am not listening to anything, because these can filter out the noise pretty well. Overall, these are the best so far I have tried, most importantly the noise cancellation, competition doesnt even come close.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Quality I've come to Expect from Sony First thing I noticed out of the box was the style and build quality. The brass accents on the black really pop. The materials feel premium (they should for the price) and the case is robust with strong magnets to click the earbuds in place to charge. Download the app (free) and few clicks and you are all set up. Opening the case ans taking them out pairs with your phone quickly. Now for the fit. I will admit I struggled at first. My ears quickly didn't feel right and they were noise canceling a bit. I spent two days swapping in and out the different supplied tips until I found the ones that after extended use felt the best. Once I did find the right tips, the noise canceling is amazing. I printed a document for work, didn't hear the printer go on, so I printed it again. Still heard nothing, hit print again and went to the printer to see 3 copies of the documents in the tray. I forgot I was wearing the headphones and didn't hear the printer (it's about ten feet from my desk). The 3d Audio demo is amazing. However, when I listened to 3d audio music, I found it much less exciting. The possibility there though could be awesome for the future. I did find the case odd. It doesn't stand up the way I thought it should, but not really an issue given I didn't get these because of the case. When wearing the headphones for an extended period of time (3+hrs) I did notice some ear fatigue. They are big (needed for the noise canceling) and after a 3 hr session with them my ears were tired. To be fair, this is similar to most wireless earbuds I have experienced. For me, battery life has been amazing. Since the case charges them, every time they go back they get a recharge. I have only charged the case once since having them and have been using them frequently. This has been a pleasant surprise! Overall, these are amazing headphones. If you are looking for small form factor, great audio quality, and noise canceling, look no further!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Multi use Perfection Straight out of the box the quality was evident from the sturdy charging case to the pods themselves. Initially they took me a little bit to get them fitted for myself , however once done they fit snuggly and comfortably. Sound quality for music and movies was impressive with nice range and great volume. Battery life is much longer than I anticipated with a wireless set lasting for what seems like hours on end, and at the end of the day just pop them back in the case for a quick charge back to full. As someone who works from home the true test for me was how well they would do on calls. Yet again they did not disappoint . Callers on both ends hear clearly . With the noise cancelling option the background noise is a nonissue and allows for a nice clear call for the entirety. Bluetooth picks up quickly as soon as they are removed from the case and with a strong wireless connection ,dropping isn’t a issue . Overall I would rate these a fantastic choice with great versatility and quality that should last a long while .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Quality! The WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones have exceeded my expectations, not only on design and comfort, but on sound quality too. I have owned many different brands of earbuds and even a set of noise canceling earbuds and these by far are the best. First of all, I love the sleek look of the Sony earbuds. The case is not bulky and the earbuds are so comfortable. My last pair would make my ears sore after awhile and these earbuds offered no discomfort to me. I was able to choose what size would work best for me and with a small twist if the earbud I can lock the noise canceling into place. The sound quality is phenomenal and I can listen to movies and music without any outside noise distractions. The stability of the wireless connection is great and I can say I haven’t had any issues with these. I would definitely recommend these to friends and family!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Sony Earbuds The Sony Wireless Headset (WF-1000XM3) is wonderful. I sound quality is superb, which is always something you can expect for Sony. The Headsets are very comfortable once you install the proper ear cushions based on your ear size. And the battery life is great. During the pairing process, the Bluetooth feature was very easy to access. I only wish It came with a password or access code to avoid others from pairing with your device. The noise-canceling feature is awesome and within the app, you can change the sound quality with the equalizer feature. While your stationary the noise-canceling feature immerses you completely in your music experience. But as soon as you start to move, the noise-canceling feature is paused so you can hear what is going on around you. Now within the app, there are several wonderful features for you to explore including other apps that you have to pay for that works in conjunction with the Sony headphone app including Google Assistant and Alexa. Now, the charging case is very easy to use. Magnetic connections for your earbuds so they lock in place and it fully charges your earbuds within 30 to 35 minutes. My only issue with the headset is the app. Easy to install, easy to connect to Bluetooth, and very easy to pair. But very tedious to get through with all the different features and downloads. Once installed, the app boosted the sound quality of the headsets. Overall, I am very impressed with the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony Sounds Great! The new Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Canceling headphones are some of the best on the market today in the area of Bluetooth earphones that provide more music and less outside sound affecting your music listening experience. I was also impressed that they came with the ability to work with Alexa from Amazon and Google Assistant as an additional resource. After I charged up the headphones for the first use, I downloaded the Sony app on two different types of phones that use the major operating systems for all smartphones today. I was very impressed by how the sound on each device stood out as a high-quality product. I liked that you could use the Ambient noise reduction and that it also had the ability to use your location to track the need to adjust your settings in a particular location for the best performance. I also used the headphones for some lengthy calls and they were perfect at the task and there were no issues with the sound or microphone quality. I decided to used the standard ear tips that came on the headphones instead of the optional sizes to try in the box. I have been able to use the headphones for over 6 hours without any discomfort which has been a pleasure compared to other Bluetooth headphones I have tried for the same period of time and would end up bothering my ears by the end of the day. I would highly recommend these headphones to my friends, family, and co-workers as a high-quality product that delivers on providing excellent sound and comfort.

Earbuds is alittle large, and there is a worry that it might fall off from my ear if I moved too much. Although it haven't fall out from my ear before, however I am constantly pushing it into the ear, ensuring that it will not drop off. Mic and connection is good, but the disappoint part is when there is earpiece was used in place where a lot of signals are present there may be some jerking in the music happens like without notice, frequency about once or twice in 20 mins, not sure is my unit's issue or is the product itself.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed with the call clarity I read many reviews believing 1000xm3 to be a strong contender to Airpod Pro for android. But rather disappointed with the call quality which should be fairly straight forward for a product with ANC.

I wish Sony would resolve this, but if cannot be done, i would switch out the set.

Some of the features I like are the ability to get notifications, messages, calls and so much more. I like that the headphones can read everything to you. One feature that stands out to me is when listening to music and removing either headphone from either ear will automatically pause the music and continue when you put them back in. The charging case is great because it helps the headphones stay charged all the time and last 24+ hours. One feature I don't like is that it is left headphone dominant, you must use the left headphones and can't choose your comfort. I do like the ability to easily connect them using NFC.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Totally Awesome! Hello! I wasn't sure what to expect with the new earbuds but my expectations were exceeded. My first experience with them was mowing the lawn, it just blew my mind how well they worked, they were clear, quiet and comfortable and battery easily lasted, what more could I ask for!? After a quick charge I was back in the game and started to play around with built in Amazon Alexa to play music, it worked very well. Last week I went Side by Siding in the Black Hills and I was able to drown out the machine noise and still was able to hear the passenger, where have these been all my life? The styling could use a little work but for the most part I couldn't find any issues. Thank you Sony!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not Great I have tried all of the earpiece cushions and none create a tight seal. The earphones slip out of my ears when walking. The lack of volume control is disappointing. No option for over the ear support. No option for a lanyard to prevent the earphones from falling to the ground if they fall out while running or walking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply Great! Simple set up. All I did was plug the charging case into my laptop and I was read to go. But best of all in the sound. It's FANTASTIC! The highs, lows & mid-range all crystal clear. Plus I find them very comfortable to wear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great experience with Sony WF-1000XM3 I feel happy with this headphone. It is expensive headphone that i used to buy before. But after bought and tested myself then i love it. One comment here, it will be good if you provide ear arm lock (optional for customers who like it) to prevent it drop down damaging to headphone during working or walking. I have a lot of Sony product in my home ( TV. SPEAKER. SMALL TALK. GAMING ,.. Other ). Never make me feel any disappointments. Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Real World Experience with Sony WF-1000XM3 Loved the premium looks and feel. Audio is awesome, just like its bigger brother WH-1000XM3. Audio for receiving calls is very good. No complaints from friends and families on my voice or sound when I was using the Sony earbuds.But found occasionally lost the bluetooth connection with my Galaxy Note 9. Not sure if this is my unit problem or my handphone. I didn't encounter the same issue with my Sony WH-1000XM3 though.I don't use this earphone for any sports activity as I only want to use the earbuds for listening casual music/video and phone calls. Overall, I'm very happy with the Sony earbuds WF-1000XM3.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Plethora of ear buds to suit every one possibly I bought it but did not use it for a while. Right ear bud was not able to PAIR. While putting it back to the charging case, the RIGHT LED light would start blinking. Visited SONY Singapore and they gave me a NEW 1, so you can see SONY's dedication to customer satisfaction. I BOUGHT another product to CANCEL OUT my partner's snoring, the ear bud rubber quality was SO BAD that it shattered into small crumbs: I asked for a NEW 1 as it is still within WARRANTY but they wanted to CHARGE me-That is QuietOn. Can I request SONY to build one for us??? SONY should do well with its noise-cancelling technology and most importantly, customer service!!!SONY ROCKS...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Sound In Its Class Great sound! The best in its class - even better than the JXbrX Elite 65T! Listen to the recording of nature sounds (rain, ocean wave, river sound, etc) with these little gems, and you will know what I mean ;) Battery is also acceptable - can't expect much with the NC and DESS-HX on, right? The only complaint is the size of the earbuds - a bit too big for my ears and can get fatigue (and hurt a little) after wearing for some time. Nevertheless, I'd recommend this without any hesitation!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I really wanted to like them.... I have used it for about 2 weeks. I find the audio drops in one earbud sometimes. And the voice call quality is terrible. I end up disconnecting the earbuds for calls. Also, the noise cancelling feature gives an extremely echoey effect when I wear them while walking, and this gives me a headache. I have tried the different earbud sizes, but if they are too loose, it makes no difference from my usual wired earphones (I.e. no noise cancelling effect). If they fit well, the echoey effect when I walk is amplified. Can't see how I will continue using them except for the fact that I paid so much for them...felt like I wasted my money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from These earphones will blow you away Having owned noise cancelling headphones, I was looking for something that is portable to use on my travels instead of carrying bulky over-ear headphones and the WF-1000XM3 fits perfectly with my needs. When I got these, I was blown away with how well the noise cancelling worked. I can basically focus on just the music. The product comes with several sized foam and silicon tips, can you can choose the size that gives the best seal in your ear canal. The touch sensors are sensitive and work well. To truly set-up the earphones, you will need the Sony Headphones connect app. The app gives you the ability to change the touch sensor functions as well as sound quality through an equalizer. I would suggest that you google and look at Youtube for various custom equalizer settings so that you can set up the sound to your liking. Setting the equalizer make these earphones even better

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good and bad 1. Good sound quality. 2. Good battery life. 3. Good fit. 4. Good noise cancellation. 5. Not friendly to people on the other side. Other side can hear background noise clearly. When I stopped talking, it became complete silence to the other side (similar to walkie talkie). 6. Device support lacking in a few areas. a. Does not work with older iPad without the Sony app. b. Volume is low on iPod Nano 7th generation by default. Had to connect to iPhone, crank up the volume and connect to iPod again to get the volume up. c. While listening to podcasts, sometimes the sound cuts out of the blue. Had to reconnect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WF-1000XM3 I'm fine with that because the WF-1000XM3 has a very different design from the original WF-1000X. It's a totally new headphone with a new charging case (the earphones come in black and beige color), new drivers, new touch controls and a new QN1e processor that improves both the noise-canceling effect and the sound quality. They use Bluetooth 5.0. Not everybody is going to love that design. It mixes both modern and retro aesthetics and the earphones aren't as discreet as say, the Jabra Elite 65t or Elite Active 65t. They stick out of your ears more than some true wireless earphones, which made me feel a little geeky. But they did fit my ears securely and I found them comfortable to wear. It's important to note that with these earphones it's crucial to get a tight seal to get optimal sound quality and optimal noise canceling. As with the Beats Powerbeats Pro, you will likely be disappointed by the performance without a tight seal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pricey, but amazing! Despite being pricey, these earbuds are amazing. The noise-cancelling works perfectly fine and you can barely hear anything (even voices in a noisy office) when you have that function on with music playing at a low volume. I've been using it for voice calls and meetings, and according to the other party, my voice is clear and there's no wind noise even when I have the fan rotating in the background. The sound quality when listening to music are what you'd expect from SONY (which is amazing, of course) and in meetings are crystal clear without any lags. I love how you can customize the functions on each earbud to suit your needs and they work perfectly! The battery life is impressive too, tho in my case with noise-cancelling on all the time, it doesn't really meet the 6 hours on full charge as advertised (it was around 4 to 5 hours). But that's alright as the earbuds does charge up rather quickly in the case. The only issue I've faced is that when the earbuds are connected to my laptop to play music (I've tried it on both my work and personal laptop), you can hear some skips, but not when it's connected to my phone. No idea why. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon. Overall an amazing product and definitely one of my best purchases ever. Great job, Sony! ??

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Probably the best earbuds I bought this despite having already owned the Airpods Pro and I am essentially, an Apple fan. The reason for doing this is because I am still not quite happy with the sound stage from the Pro. With this Wf-1000XM3, it just blow my mind away. The sound is definitely better than the Pro. So, if you are going for the music and sound, this is the one! The ANC is better than the Pro and I can testify this - although not by alot. I would give a 9 for this and an 8.5 for the Airpods Pro in ANC. Ok, so far the above qualifies for 5 stars. However, as in all products, there are some features that i find needs to improve; 1)The design is outdated and huge 2)Case is huge 3)You really need to find the earbuds that fits you. I tried many times just to find the right ones 4)I also noticed that there are distortions (like happens a second) in sound from my iphone/ipad to this earbuds. This occurs every 15 minutes or so. Did a research on their manual/Q&A and found it could be because of other bluetooth interference or body coming in between. I tried a few times to improve, like restarting iphone and/or the earbuds. From my test, the most optimal results can be obtained by using 4G (ie disconnect your wifi) and the distortions go away. Due to item 4, i gave 4 starts. The other 3 points are minute to me. Considering i wasnt using a sony phone (i guessed i will not), the overall experience is almost perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Safest choice, best for some reasons. Been using these for 2 months. Many tech reviewers/people said this XM3 case is kinda bulky and not-so pocket friendly, i agreed but i don't mind it as well because of the build quality that isn't looked cheap or plasticky. The fit of these earbuds are just ok, slightly uncomfortable. Had to adjust them on my ears around 3-4 times in an hour listening time. They also stick out. After 2 weeks of trying to find the perfect eargels/foams that provided in the box. Finally i found the most comfy one for my ears, the medium-sized earfoams. The eargels were itchy inside my ears, didn't give the best sound as well. The earfoams are better because they produce a bit more of a bass. Sound quality on these are ok, far from bad for its today's price. I love headphones with a wide soundstage, these didn't have it. Customizing your own EQ on the Sony Headphones App is a must. Finally i found my best EQ setting: 400 (+9), 1k (+5), 2,5k (+8), 6,3k (-3), 15,6k (-6) + Clear Bass: +10. That setting made the volume of the sound tad louder in my experience since they don't really loud nor very bass. Overall, XM3 is steal for today's price. You can't go wrong with these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from keeps falling off * Bought this in December because my jabra 65t battery life wasn't long enough and sound was just ok. * Good battery life but only lasts about 4 hours on the average never reached 8 hours as claimed. Longest was about 6 hours when it was brand new. * Noise cancellation and ambient sound control really good. Noise cancellation works for me. Sound is excellent. This is the only reason why I still use them. Nice feature of letting sound through by pressing on the left bud. * It feels like it will fall off. and does I've tried all of the buds and ended up with the smallest. it has fallen off while standing, in bed or while sitting down. It works best sitting up. * The buttons on the buds are hard to find. * Doesn't connect to two or more devices at the same time. My cheaper jabra does.. * the carrying case should be more informative. If it is already fully charged, it should light up green. If it needs to be charged, it should be red. I shouldn't have to connect to my phone to see the carrying case charge. The buds tell you its battery status so that's ok but the charging case is too big and needs redesign. * In summary, I'd think twice about buying this if I was on the move. I do love the sound.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very dissatisfied I bought these thinking they would be top of the line tech but am very disappointed. After paying $230 at Best Buy for them I was expecting great performance. The noise canceling feature crackles and goes fuzzy when using an air nozzle and the most annoying thing is that they randomly disconnect for my device about 3-4 time a day and I have to go into my device settings and reconnect. I’ve tried using them with and without the app and get the same results regardless, perhaps even better results without using the app. On thing I will give them is that they are comfortable to wear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cracking sound I bought these about a month ago. Initially I was going to go with the Google Pixel buds 2 but they don't seem to be coming out in the UK anytime soon so I opted for these. I cannot see how the pixel buds could be any better than these. The sound quality is genuinely outstanding. I've found it a little difficult to get the bids to stay in my left ear properly but haven't had a proper play around. Fantastic earbuds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb performace I own a pair of WH-1000XM3 headphones that I use indoors and wanted something less conspicuous for outside. After looking at alternatives these offered excellent performance and value. The build quality is great and the sound is fantastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound from these in ear headphones My first in ear headphones having had Sony over head wireless Noise cancelling headphones before. The sound is very good for all types of music - I listen from Rock to Classic. Wind Noise reduction works really well when out walking and people tell me the phone call quality is really good. Would have received 5 stars but the noise Cancelling is not excellent. Good enough when you listen to music but quite a lot of background noise is still present if watching TV on a device for example. My Sony overhead phones were much better at this function. All in all an excellent buy though and very pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good earphones These earphones sound really good and are quite light to have i the ear. I used the fitting that came already on the earphones and I haven’t felt the need to try the other’s out for fit. My only bugbear would be that the right earphone tends to lose connection just for a fraction of a second causing an interruption in the music play, it only does this when outside moving about but this isn’t enough to make me send them back. Overall they sound great, fit well for walking and the battery lasts very well also.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony WF-1000XM3 Bad Ear Fit/Design I bought these wireless earbuds because I already have a pair of wireless over-ear phones and wanted the same exceptional sound quality but with the flexibility to be mobile as well as work out, etc. I also own a pair of apple airpods and honestly the sound quality of the Sony earbuds blows Airpods out of the water (literally). However, what good is exceptional sound quality if the design of the earbud is uncomfortable and does not fit. Not to mention there are very few people who like the design of earbuds that require you change out the in-ear silicon pieces to get a good fit (which is never perfect nor comfortable). I wish Sony had designed the earbuds similar to the airpod with a flat earplug design vs the in-ear with silicon tips design. The airpod flat earplug design is almost universally comfortable no matter the size of the ear due to the design. I'm sure Sony can figure out a better way to ensure an exceptionally comfortable fit while providing the same awesome sound quality we come to expect from them. I unfortunately will be returning my WF-1000XM3 earbuds for the SOLE reason that they are VERY uncomfortable and do not stay in well (and that is after having tested each and every different size silicon tip that came in the box). I have very small ears and my Apple airpods fit perfectly and are super snug (even when I'm dancing or working out). My spouse has a very large ear canal and the Airpods still fit perfectly! Although we are SONY fans to the core as the sound quality of Sony products is UN-Matched, we cannot justify buying these earbuds at this price point with such a huge issue with comfort and fit. Sony PLEASE RE-DESIGN THESE to fit like regular airpods (Gen2) while maintaining noise cancelling functionality. There has got to be a way to accomplish this. Also the charging case for these is almost obnoxiously large. As a women who tends to prefer a minimalist existence, I carry a small wristlet with only essentials but this case is just not small or discrete enough to fit in it. My airpods case is perfect (about the size of a dental floss container). I could literally fit the airpods case inside the Sony case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A better alternative to Apple AirPods Pro I read a lot of online reviews before purchasing these. This Sony model was always at the top of reviewers lists, so I decide to go with them. Now I understand why. ANC is really good but the real surprise was the sound quality on music. The folks behind these are acoustic wizards. BTW, thanks for making in ear buds that are actually comfortable to wear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wireless and noise cancelling I was looking for wireless earbuds, ideally with noise-canceling. Having checked several magazines, I concluded that the WF-1000XMS earphones represented the best quality at a reasonable price. I have not been disappointed however you have to get used to the sensation of having something planted well into your ear. Once you acclimatize to this you will thoroughly enjoy this product.

Sound quality is excellent and the Audio 360 sound (limited 360 tracks out there but will increase over time) is incredible.

Highly recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good but can be better No doubt the sound quality is great, there is some letdown which really to be improved as much. For instance, distortion or lag during outdoor playback is really annoying, extremely low audible volume for unknown made the whole listening experience to disastrous state, sudden loss of sound on single earbuds without recovery really annoying and least desirable. Hope Sony can take note to resolve all these issues in order to justify the cost of price paid

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome This is my first time buying such an expensive pair of earphones and I have to say it has spoiled me. There's depth in the sound and it's hard to go back to my less expensive earphones which lack it. Noise cancelling is unlike that of the power of over-ear headphones but is still OK. It cancels out white noise pretty well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nothing is perfect even with Sony The sound quality is amazing in an overall sense with the clarity of vocals and instruments, balanced audio, and very detailed sound reproduction. Just the bass isn't as good as expected but keep it in mind this isn't an Extra Bass product. The eartips tend to move easily especially when you do something that involves areas around your ears. Also, there isn't an IP rating for water resistance which makes this not so suitable for gym though it is usable at your own risk. Overall I would say it's a good pair of earbuds especially if you are looking for clarity and detailed sound reproduction.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the price I bought this about a month ago due to covid19 work from home, was researching online on a few product and majority state that this ear bud is the best overall true wireless ear bud. The noise cancelling feature to mt surprise was great as compare to my other ear bud that i am using which also has noise cancellation. The app was great that it allow me to adjust the sound swtting eg bass etc which is great and i can selecr diff mode for diff purposes. Sound quality was great, tried it with voice conversation and it was loud and clear from both parties, 3 way call. Tried music audiophile quality, it was great. Size is compact and comfortable, wear is comfortable to me that i can wear it for a long period. Battery life is good too, it can last me 3 to 5 days. Design wise,it is very sleek and professional looking. Definitely for those executive use. Overall it is a great true wireless ear bud.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I would say this is an overrated earphones. Not as I expected. I bought it after saw a lots of positive reviews in the Youtube. Before I bought this earphones, I already bought other TWS earphone which is 10 times cheaper. I gave this earphone 2 stars because of the price. I'm not this earphones is bad. What I want to say is there is other cheaper TWS earphones can also produce as good as this earphone. What I hate the most is the Ambient Sound Control. I just don't know how to disable it. It is very annoying especially when I want to use it while I'm riding my motorcycle or cycling my bicycle. It keeps trying to "adopt" to current environment which makes it appears not very stable while I'm listening to music. I keep getting the "click" sound as it was trying to "adopt" to the current environment every 10 seconds. Also, while cycling, I can't get rid the wind sound which is very annoying. I try to disable the Ambient Sound Control but it keeps coming back. I really hate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bad Bluetooth functionality I bought these recently and it has been a bad experience using them so far. Initially, headphones could connect to both my iPhone and iPAD. But the connection would drop after a while intermittently. Couldn't pair with my laptop. Sony Live Chat support advised me to reset my headphones by pressing the headphones for 10 sec. Things become worse, headphones can connect to 1 device only. Example, after paired with iPhone, headphones no longer can pair with iPAD. Connection would still drop intermittently. Still doesn't work with my laptop. I had WI-1000 previously and it was a great product. It's quite unbelievable that Sony released WF-1000XM3 with such unstable functionality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Noise Cancelling The noise cancelling is excellent and the sound quality is perfect! The added ambient sound is a plus as this is important if you’re travelling and taking public transport. The app needs a bit of going around to know how. The only thing that I don’t like is the fit of the buds on my ear. I tried all the sizes and it doesn’t fit my ear well. The problem is it can easily be dropped. I used to have a bose and it fits snuggly on my ear. This one it’s scary to use when travelling as it has the tendency of dropping or losing. Another feature that sony don’t have is the waterproofing. As a daily driver it should have the IP ratings so i can use it even when it pours. Unfortunately, for the price, i’m not taking the risk.

Can't connect to 2 devices at the same time, makes it inconvenient to answer call from mobile phone and laptop (Skype) Hope to see improvements in the next model.

Sony was the first game changer in this tru wireless arena and the rest follow. I compared this with the Sennheiser Momentum 2 and decide Sony gave me way more value per dollar. After a month of using it on multiple device, connection is a breeze, audio quality top notch and comfort which is key for me is excellent. I hope the next version will have wireless charging case include.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best I’ve ever had. These really are great pieces of kit. The sound from them is the best I’ve ever had. The detail is excellent: separation of sounds unlike anything I’ve ever heard. I am even able to hear singers inhale on some tracks. The noise cancelling is excellent too. Unfortunately, it maybe a little too good, as it almost completely suppresses my family when they try to talk to me. The controls are pretty good, but the ease of turning on the voice assistant is a bit too easy and is easy to do accidentally.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good headphones, ridiculous support Not a great fit for my ears, but generally was quite happy with the headphones. But functionality is all is quite irrelevant when you can't use the headphones as Sony will try to outrageously overcharge you when you happen to loose one of the components. Lost my charging case and Sony asks 125€ for the case and additional 50€ for syncing case with the headphones, so 175€ in total. Thats almost the same price as buying new headphones. So now I have 3 month old useless headphones. Almost all my electronics are Sony (TV, camera RX100-VII, Playstation 4, other headphones wh1000xm), but the next product will be very hard sell.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Selecting the correct ear tip is paramount!! I purchased these for various applications mainly to listen to the tv and music from my hi fi via a high end bluetooth transmitter and they sound excellent, a big setup from using the iPhone in sound, but to get the absolute best is to try all the ear tips, I also purchased more ear tips to see if they made any sound improvements and there was an difference. I have one moan, that is, I would find it very useful to connect to my iPhone at the same time as connecting to the high end bluetooth transmitter so I can do adjustments, I have a second pair of earbuds that do, but they don’t sound as accurate as the Sony.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from GREAT audio but TERRIBLE microphone for calls I love Sony products, so I bought these earphones not long after they first came out. I primarily use them to listen to music and podcasts on my way to work. For listening to music and audio they may be the best earphones on the market. However, I have to date never been able to make a phone call without the person I'm talking to complaining about how bad I sound. They constantly sound like I am in a wind tunnel. I have been extremely frustrated with this product for making phone calls. They are basically unusable. If you don't care about calls, then buy these. If you do plan to use them, I cannot recommend. Perhaps, I got a bad pair. If so, Sony please let me know what can be done to fix this. Yes, I have done all of the firmware updates and no I have never dropped them or gotten them wet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sound Stuttering when listening to music I bought this on 15th Jun 20 and have been having this issue of sound stuttering whenever listening to Spotify, Youtube or local file musics. While the ANC works perfectly and the sound is amazing, but the sound stuttering shatters the whole experience of listening to music. I'm using a Samsung Note10 running on latest OS. I've sent the earphones for repair by the first week of usage and it took the technicians 3 weeks without any feedback unless I called in to request for status update. Yesterday I collected the earphones, the report says the charging case and left earphone was replaced. However I still experience this issue without resolving the issue. This is a terrible experience for a premium wireless earphone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sound & Noice Cancelling I wanted a set of wireless earbud headphones and after researching the field chose the Sony WF-100XM3, based on the high sound quality and noise cancelling feature. I've now used them for a couple of weeks, including rail and air travel. I have been pleased with the sound quality across a wide range of music and have been impressed with the active noise cancelling capabilties. Aircraft noise was very significantly reduced compared to passive noise exclusion when using plain in-ear buds. I've also found the option to control the transparency for ambient noise useful in quieter environments where it has been useful to hear what's happening around me e.g. doorbell. The only negative point experienced to date is the audio latency relative to video experienced when using the headphones to listen to the TV, or for gaming. This is a problem with Bluetooth. In this respect its a shame that the device doesn't support use of the latest aptX, low-latency codec.

I picked them up and found them to be pretty amazing when checking them out that night. The next morning I popped them in and they connected and about 2 seconds later the left earbud bricked itself. I tried everything I could find to fix the issue. I ended up having to return them and come to find out they are backordered. I was completely bummed out by this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound! Great comfort! Great noise cancellati I bought this about a month ago and I have nothing bad to say about them. The sound is great with strong bass and clarity. Bass level is adjustable via the app. I set to about mid way and I love it. I personally listen to rock and metal music. Bumping the bass way up would be nice for hip hop I think. The fitting is great. They come with a few sets of ear tips. Just make sure you find one that fits properly. This ensures proper fitting and sound isolation. Overall, they’re very comfortable. The sound cancellation works well. It’s not as strong as the WH-1000XM3, but I actually prefer that as I get a headache with those really strong sound cancellation headphones. Having said that, sound cancellation works as advertised and it’s great! The touch controls are great as well. Sensitive enough and easy to navigate. I love how holding the left ear control will activate ambient sound so you can have a conversation with someone without having the need to take off your earphones. Using it as a headset for calls is ok. Not as good as the AirPods (I have an iPhone). I can hear the other party clearly, but it seems the other party have difficulty hearing me at times if I don’t speak loud enough. Overall, these are great earphones and I enjoy them a lot!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Noise cancelling unsatisfactory I purchased this wireless headphone primarily for noise canceling feature. I already have WH-1000 XM3 which has an outstanding noise canceling. I needed smaller one for outdoor activities and travel. This is a huge disappointment. Noise canceling is barely noticeable. Most of the nose that is virtually gone with WH is not affected at all with WF. This is not even close to what my old Bose earplug headphones can do. Unless I received a defective unit this should not be advertised as noise canceling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb, but with flaws What can I say about these that hasn't already been said, Fantastic build quality, the fit and finish are excellent, phenomenal noise cancelling (yes WAY BETTER than Bose over ear and in ear.) and most importantly great sound quality (again better than Bose.) I find the controls to be logical and intuitive, but that said, they are not always responsive. Sometimes when I click the left bud to switch to ambient/noise cancel, it doesn't always register. At times it doesn't respond at all. Seems like they need another firmware update to get this working right 100% of the time rather than 80%. The sound is excellent for a non-audiophile product. Great clarity and detail, decent bass response and great balance. The only complaint I have is that they don't always get loud enough with music. The upper limit seems too quiet by about 10 dB. I'm not trying to blast the sound, I'm just trying to get it to a level that is 'fun' to listen to. It's just not going to happen with these, almost necessitating a separate option for rocking out. With those niggles out of the way I will say this; These are the best truly wireless earbuds on the market by a fairly wide margin! With the promise of firmware updates I'm sure some of these issues(if not all) can be solved relatively easily. All in all a solid A- performance!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Headphones ruined by Bluetooth Issues These earbuds are beautifully designed and the sound quality is amazing... When the Bluetooth connection actually works, which is rarely. The music will stop and the left bud will chime and the connection drops. Furthermore, I have to use the app to get the connection back. Once it is re-established it takes a minute before I can get the music going again. This process happens multiple times per hour which ruins all the positive things these earbuds have going for them. I want to love these but right now it is very frustrating to use them. I would hold off on getting them until the connection issues are fixed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great, but misses the mark I have a large array of headphones and earphone ranging from Sennheiser HD660s to Apple Airpods. I was eagerly awaiting the release of the WF1000XM3 as it seemed like the perfect multipurpose earphones. The WF1000XM3 case is about double the size of the airpods, but lack in two major areas. First, no wireless charging and second, the case is made of IMHO very cheap plastic. At $230 the case is a complete joke, not to mention you are unable to check the charge level of the charging case. The earphones themselves are fairly nice, but lack volume control. For iOS this is not an issue as the volume controls are tied into the iOS controls, but for Android you have Bluetooth volume and device volume. This results in two volume adjustment points. The only way to adjust the device volume (wf1000xm3) on Android is through the app. This becomes a major inconvenience when watching videos. Overall I really want to keep and like the wf1000xm3, but at this price point they are not worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great addition to the WH-1000XM3 I am a longtime commuter user of the WH-1000X3 and was looking for a lightweight replacement for the summer months. I have a collection of TWS earphones and while the Airpods are so far the best in terms of connection stability and ease of use, the Sony WF-1000XM3 make up for it in almost every other area. Yes, they are bulky and yes, their (Qualcomm?) Bluetooth connectivity is not as stable or convenient for iOS device users. BUT, the sound quality, the subtle but effective noise cancelling and secure fit won me over. I wish they had a better status indicator for the remaining battery life of the charge case (and wireless charging for the case would be a great plus, too) but once I put them in, I can easily get lost in the excellent sound stage, powerful bass response and smooth mid and high frequencies. By far my favorite TWS so far, bravo Sony!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best on the market...but not perfect yet. I have used the WF-1000XM3 for a bit short of a month now, and I love them. What I really appreciate is the quality of sound and the battery life. Pairing is also quite smooth and immediate, especially with an Android phone, however I find the device a bit too sensitive to electromagnetic interference; I experience short cuts and static noises while in a crowd and/or in the metro (downloaded music, therefore no coverage issue)... yes, I have "Priority on Sound Quality" in the settings, and I don't think the user should compromise on quality to have connection stability. Doesn't happen with the WH-1000XM3, that I also own, even if the codec is more "demanding"on the over-the-hear model. I find the Noise Cancelling performance outstanding; when it comes to Ambient Sound, there is no comparison with the WH. Less related to the device, but more of a personal matter, in spite of the numerous replacement tips options, I couldn't find one that fits me 100%. Nevertheless, I would buy them again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best sound out of earbuds. I’ve had these for a month and have to say they sound great. They’re a little expensive but then you can pay more for inferior sound, I even thought about buying Apple earbuds but early reviews say the Sony’s sounds better and cost £50 less. Connection to the source and between buds has been 100% reliable, really nothing to complain about. I wish they would go louder but this might have something to do with the source.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unstable Bluetooth I was really looking forward to these from all the things I read in advance media. I’ve been running Jabra Elites and have been quite happy with them; the biggest shortcoming was the lack of dimension in the sound. The Sonys fixed that right out of the box. The sound is full, textured and pretty awesome. Very good bottom and mid-range. I use these a lot for walking around San Francisco. Biggest complaint is the unstable Bluetooth. The feed keeps going out for a second or two, then coming back. I read all the advice in Support and couldn’t find a solution. The Jabras never fail, but I want better sound. Has anybody else run across this problem?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible headphones After trying several different models of true wireless earbuds from other companies and having a ton of audio drop outs and connection issues, I decided to spend a bit more and go for the WF1000XM3, and I'm SO glad I did! Unlike a lot of other true wireless ones, each bud pairs independently to your phone and I think this greatly improves the connection (you can also adjust them to favour connection strength over sound quality in the app). I've had *maybe* 3-4 drop outs in my month of near-constant use, which is frankly incredible. I was a bit skeptical about the noise cancelling, having never really been a fan before. However, having taken a few long international flights lately, it was a real godsend! Takes out all the low-end hum and ruble from planes and tube journeys. Some reviews are correct in mentioning that wind across the microphones cause a lot of noise, and for the most part I leave the noise cancelling off for day-to-day running around (I find they let just enough outside noise in to be aware of your surroundings), but it's a killer feature to have handy when travelling. The fit is really nice, low-profile and secure for most moving around, though if you're after something for working out, these aren't the ones. Arguably most important is the sound, and they do not disappoint! The sound is balanced and punchy, with clear highs and defined bass with a great soundstage. I do a small bit of tweaking in the in-app EQ, but even without the sound is beautifully balanced. I was also pleasantly surprised that Sony has now made it possible to increase/decrease the volume via touchpad, a feature that wasn't vital but something the was a bit of letdown to see not included in the original launch. Battery life is pretty solid, about what it says on the tin. Leaving NC off really helps, but they are quick to charge, as is the case itself. They aren't the cheapest option, but they are incredible performers for the money, and if music is an important part of your life, these are worth every penny!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What A Mistake! Noise Canceling is Misleading Purchased these headphones over the Apple Pods because of the Sony Name, Reputation for Quality and Customer Support. Big Mistake. I am a very cautious electronics buyer. Experience with Plantronics, Apple, etc and did a good amount of research before buying these headphones. The WF-1000XM3 headphones pick up EVERY drop of background noise when you are talking on the phone. If you want noise canceling to hear music only, I'm sure you can find something as good - at a much more competitive price. Sony will not stand behind nor support the fact that they are sold as a Premium Headphone experience for both Music and Telephone (after all that is what they are primarily connected to). Additionally, they do not work well with Apple. You must download the app, which always has to be reset with the headphones and phone to work properly. So disappointed - please don't get yourself cornered in the same position - $250.00 in the garbage. A $50 LG headset out performs these in quality and noise control by 100%.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An honest review Ive owned both the WF-1000X and the WF-1000XM3 set of earbuds. Let me start by saying, I have also owned 7 different brands of true wireless earbuds directly competing with these. The WF1000XM3's blow the competition out of the water when it comes to sound quality and the ability to customize the sound to your own preference. BUT. There are two major flaws. 1) they do not stay in your ears, and i dont have abnormal sized ears. I understand they arnt made for working out or lots of movement with your head, but these things fall out just sitting in a chair! I would go as far as to say they stay in even worse than the old WF-1000X. 2) the connection cuts out, not as bad as the the previous model, but still bad, sometimes even when the phone is 2 feet away from my head laying in bed. You may be thing, its my phone, but its not. I had the Samsung S9+ and now Im using the Note 9. These 2 things ruin these earbuds. I want to add, The solution is not to bring them beck to Best Buy and get a new pair, ive done that 4 times with the old ones and twice with these. Same problems every time. Until Sony takes steps into fixing these issues, I will have to switch to something else.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I see you, Sony So, I have complete idiots for neighbors. They're "gangsta" because they play all their terrible music really loud. Well, I make music (and don't feel the need to preview it to my neighbors), so I bought these in hopes that the noise cancelling would work very well and that it would pair with my Surface. 2/2 Grand Slam. These are perfect for what I bought them. They last well through a session AND as an added bonus reproduce very flat without any adjusting of the EQ through the Sony app, so they work great for mixing! It's kind of weird to get used to real wireless experience and I'm finding it hard to break habits of being connected, but yeah, buy these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sound, AWFUL call quality The packaging and materials are very nice, the amount of ear bud foamy things are terrific to help you find the best fit, the app is built to a higher standard than people build their products, and the fit and finish are great. The sound is superb, some of the best I've ever experienced and the app displays features that are unbelievably impressive. The use of the flat track touch pad on the side of them requires a small learning curve and whenever you mess with it too much they might fall out of your ears. But the call quality is so bad that is sounds like you're underwater or in a bathtub. Don't even bother trying to be on the phone while driving, you might as well be in a tornado. Purchased these for phone calls and quality. I got 50% of what I was hoping for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does not cancel any noise whatsoever! I bought these 2 weeks ago and they are totally ineffective at cancelling noise. I have tried the different ear pad sizes, different settings and different locales. The music sound quality was ok but it cancelled NOTHING! The cool magnetic case is the only redeeming quality of these earphones. (Oh yeah, they also fall out super easily - even when just sitting stationary- so be prepared to go searching for them or to bid one of them bye-bye.). Save your money and go with regular earbuds - you will get exactly the same experience. Ok sound quality and no noise cancelling. I expected much better from you, Sony. This product is not as advertised!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Could be good: fit is poor The provided ear tips are not very good at all. They provide minimal isolation (yes I tried all 7 size / type combinations). This makes everything sound a little far away, less lively. It becomes less noticeable at higher listening levels. For comparison I'm using Shure SE215 earbuds with the black foam tips. The SE215s are like wearing 22-25dB reduction earplugs while the Sony's are more like wearing just headphones. Other features: Pairing worked as expected. The sensors to tell if you remove one from your ear work well. Touch buttons are okay. They take some getting used to since you can't feel your way around or you'll activate the button. The fact that you have to wait to connect every time you open the app on iOS is a bit annoying. If you can use the ear controls, they are definitely faster. I've ordered some comply foam ear tips which will hopefully help.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from They'd be mediocre if they worked. I like to leave reviews that are thoughtful and not biased by anger but this has been the most frustrating experience with a piece of technology I have ever had. Let's be clear, the purpose of earbuds is to connect to something and make noise. These do the opposite of that. Connecting is not difficult my phone, laptop, computer, watch, and everything else connect fine. The NFC chip speeds it up more. These buds do not, however, stay connected long enough to regularly finish a song. On top of that, the app does not recognize that they're connected to my phone if I've already connected them. I have to disconnect them, open the app, and then search for them while they're still in the case. There's definitely more things that are frustrated but those are minor in comparison to the literal inability to use them. The sound quality is good but max volume is quiter than average. Battery life is great. Sony has tried to tell me the connection issues are battery related. Sony is wrong; I haven't been able to use them for more than five minutes and the app says they are fully charged. My final note is on Sony themselves. Sony has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I have spent 7 hours trying to get these, at the very least, repaired. That's enough time for me to have bought another pair. I would be fine with these problems if they'd solve them but Sony Is clearly incapable of response. I am frustrated and feel robbed. Please don't waste your money.

For some reason, when making phone calls the mic seems to prefer to pick up amient noise more than my own voice. Could a single phone call without the other party complaining that they couldn't hear me. The worst of all, th e right earphone decided not work or more accurately, decided to attenuate the output by more than 80%. Now I have the music coming out of only the left earphone

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great when I finally got used to them They come with one set of buds fitted and 6 other sizes to try. I tried the larger size, but it was uncomfortable and ended up using the original ones. I occasionally have a problem fitting my right one, but I always get it right. They are comfortable and the noise cancelling works well. I have ambient sound on when walking, but, because of lockdown haven’t really had that many people or cyclists around to notice how well that works. I find the USB cable ludicrously short, the storage box just dangles when I use it, so I use my phone charger instead. I also think that one of the buds should automatically come with volume control, rather than having to set it up on the app. They connected very easily to my. Android phone, iPad and PC. Recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Want discreet noise cancelling, look no further I’ve has my eyes on these for a while, as I wanted something a bit more discreet to wear out n about. The white ones that everyone wears around allow too much ambient noise in and the noise cancelling version are ridiculously overpriced. I’ve always been a fan of Sony Ericsson and Sony mobile music Bluetooth earphones and these do not disappoint. Clear sound that can be adjusted with the app based equaliser and the adaptive noise cancelling feature works very well. There are different earbuds to help fit your ear canals to help isolate external sounds, and overall it does a good job for something this small The only gripe I have is on windy days, there can be a bit of wind noise around the ears, but I guess that’s the price you pay for not having headphones. Overall, I’m happy with the product and would recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hi-Fidelity Speakers in a Compact Earbud Size 1) A true noise cancelling headphone packed into a compact earbud size. These earbuds are an audiophile's dream come true. When you put these on and activate noise cancelation you are totally immersed in the sound you are listening to. With just the touch of a finger you can hear somebody speaking to you and when you take your finger away the blissful sound of music returns with no background noise. 2) Adaptive sound control is a great feature and the app allows for fine tuning for greater control. Whether you are road cycling on a major route, walking, running, doing yard work, a passenger in an automobile, on your daily commute to work via train, or flying on to your dream vacation; the adaptive sound control can sense what you are currently doing and will allow more or less noise cancelling as needed. It is also active and switches modes automatically as needed if you have this feature turned on in the app. 3) The size of the earbuds are a little bit bulkier than average. However, the quality and features packed into the size of the product certainly make up for this right way when you first hear the sound from these little speakers. They do fit well within the ear and there is not much of an issue of having them fall out as long as they are inserted properly. They do come with several different sizes of gel like ear pieces, and then the conventional style sizes to choose from. 4) They work with Google Assistant, Siri, and thanks to the latest firmware update Alexa has been added. 5) Sound quality coming from these little guys is just truly amazing. I don't think anything will ever beat a true quality set of over the ears. However, if you are a music buff, or just enjoy quality sound these are for you. The frequency response of these speakers is breath taking. Listening to soprano tracks of Whitney Houston voice capable of 5 octaves is a great testament to what the highs and mids and do for these speakers. As for the bass, I have NEVER heard such punching full deep sound from such a compact device. I'm still trying to fathom how they engineered that seeing how they need air displacement for the driver to generate deep crisp bass like these little guys do. You won't find another pair of earbuds that sound this good as of right now. 6) Battery life is great, I can play them all afternoon and still have a charge left. Toss them in the case and they are ready to go at 100% again in no time. The case itself can recharge the earbuds about 6 times without a recharge. Now thanks to the latest firmware you can tell how much battery level is left in the case via the app. 7) Sony's Engineering and Dev team is paying attention! Thank-you! The biggest downfall had seemed to be some people wanting volume control as a touch feature on the earbud itself. You could only control the volume via the device you were connect to, most likely a cell phone. In the latest firmware just release Sony has recognized this and allows the user to just this feature by toggling it on via the app. However, you must do without a different feature such as touch to talk. The fact that they came out with an answer to this problem and a few others so quickly shows they are still very competitive in the field of engineering and while the price may be a little higher, the quality of this product certainly makes up for it two fold!

Sound quality is superb and bass is heavy, noise cancelling cancels out all the ambient sound (around 95% which leaves only people's loud voice near you) and headphones can be configured to control volume/playback/noise cancelling. Only disadvantages I could see are product design (Headphone size are quite huge compared to competitors) and no IP rating which might not be suitable for workouts.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quite nice They have nice quality of sound but for that price I would expect bigger difference. Battery could be better but its okay as for 5-6 h on noise cancellation. NC works well, nothing that will blow ur mind but it's good feature to have for better music experience. They fall out if ears way too easily, they should definitely have some grabby thing so they wouldn't fall out. No water resistance is another biig minus. I wish to buy some other pair because of sound quality when they r not sticking well in and lack of water res that makes me worrying. I also prefere buttons instead of touch pads waay more as touch pads are being clicked when u have cap or something on ur head. Very inconvenient.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good but... I like them, but I bought them to use whilst exercising and they fall out suddenly, no warning. Not great if you're running by long grass at the time. Otherwise they're good, I have tried all of the bud sizes provided.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound, terrible for working out/running Sound is the best on the market, but you cant run with them because they'll fall out and working out is also tough. On top of that there is no IPX rating

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not all is created equal... I brought this item a couple of days ago to replace my Bose Sound Free and even with the smallest earbuds, for some reason they just would not stay in my ear, they kept falling out. Too bad I couldn't keep them in my ear long enough to pair the device, returning ASAP :-(

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound! I bought these to block out my partner’s snoring and they work. The noise cancelling is good, not 100% but great. I’m very happy with them, comfortable and great noise control.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound quality but pathetic Call quality I bought this product just over 2 weeks ago and so far I am digging it. There's no comparison when it comes to the sound quality ensuing from it whatsoever and the fit is great too. In retrospect I feel like I have been duped when it comes to call quality which I'm very sad to say considering this top product otherwise. The amount of disturbance my callee's have endured is beyond my understanding. Either you are standing or walking out in the streets or on a train platform; horrendous! I am absolutely hopeful they have software that can fix this issue else I'm going to absolutely regret spending the £200 on it. It is my belief and I'm sure you agree with me that if you're willing to spend this kind of money for something like this you would a 100% expect it to work flawlessly. But this one major flaw is a big blow of its own. Another small thought I'd like to share about it's functionality is that I would more satisfied if Sony could integrate the features (ambient/noise cancelling, playback, Google/Alexa assistant) better than how it sits currently where you need to choose either of the functions and not benefit from the rest. Maybe integrate playback and assistant as default (with the exception of switching between the assistants as per preference) and then have the other cool functions available on the other piece. All in all and also in short love the product but it's got this one major downside and people do need to consider before buying is the call quality. Especially since they did not advertise that aspect or provide a solution yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decent sound, well constructed Bought these after reading positive reviews online. I find it difficult to get a good fit in my ears, even after trying the different tips supplied. Wasn’t too impressed with the effectiveness of the noise cancelling function but the overall sound was good. Get occasional drop out which can be irritating. To be fair I am comparing the sound quality and noise cancelling effectiveness to my Bose QC35 headphones so given that they are earbudsI am perhaps being harsh. Good build quality and the battery life is good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from very disappointing I bought this sony MF-1000XM3 from best buy in October 2019 and my experience with it is disappointing. Playing music is good which I don’t have problem. My concern is phone calls receiving and calling I have so much noise from the other end, and they also complain about the same noise from my end and most often it drops calls . further more it is difficult to stay put in my ears which I have tried the ear tips given. I don’t want to compare this product to other competitors. I had wanted to return the product to best buy but I have exceeded their return policy. Am going to call sony if they will accept a return or an exchange.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great noise cancellation, terrible call quality I've been using these daily at work and on my commute for about a week now. I can say that listening to podcasts and music on these is fantastic. The noise cancellation works great, and I makes a huge difference. I like the configurability of the ambient sound control as well. The single biggest problem with these is that they are basically useless for phone calls. Literally every single time I took a call w/ them (all in a quiet meeting room, I might add), the person on the other end of the line could not hear me at all. They told me it constantly sounded choppy and broken up. Every single time, I had to resort to turning these off and just using my phone directly. I've also tried recording my voice using the Voice Memo app on my phone to verify that it wasn't a phone connection issue. The recording sounded truly terrible. @Sony - This is not an acceptable user experience. Has anyone at Sony even tried using these for phone calls? How did they allow the release of this product w/ such a huge problem? Please fix this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One and Only Noise Canceling Buds If you are looking for the perfect wireless earbuds that include every single feature from wireless charging, small, compact and portable, waterproof, all day battery, multiple audio coding formats, durable and stays in your ears then it has yet to arrive, but in the meanwhile the Sony WF-1000XM3's are the best of the bunch in my opinion and here is why: The only truly wireless earbuds with active noise canceling, yes they are not the Sony WH-1000XM3 but the Sony WF-1000XM3 offers a decent experience when it comes to blocking those outside noisy environments and you can adjust how much ambient noise you want to hear through the Sony Headphones app. The battery life has been very good so far with active noise canceling on, I would say I do get the rated 6 hours on one charge and I love how the earbuds tell you how much juice they have when you first put them on through an audible voice letting you know the percentage and when they are paired. Talking about charge, one downside is that there is no indicator on the charging case that tells you how much charge there is left on the charging case, there is only a red light indicator when you plug it in to charge through USB-C cable and did I say USB-C, finally an industry must when it comes to cables not some propietary Lightning or yesterday's micro USB connections. The form factor of the earbuds is not bad, they tend to stay in my ears with the right sized earbud tips that are included with so many options and different materials to choose from also, they do sometimes feel like they are coming loose after a while, but they have yet to completely pop out of my ears. One thing that is not clear is if they are water resistant, by the looks of the Sony marketing material these are suited for your casual business or just walking outdoors type individual, so do not take them out in the rain and be weary if you sweat a lot during workouts. I think it is time to wrap up this review with the most important aspect of any headphone, the sound. The Sony WF-1000XM3 sound is balanced, the highs, mids and bass are all excellent and you can tweak the equalizer settings using the Sony Headphones app. I like to listen to my music at loud volumes which probably is not the best for your ear health, and one thing I noticed is that these wireless earbuds are not very loud even at the highest setting. So, if you are looking for one of the better premium options of truly wireless earbuds these Sony WF-1000XM3 deserve a buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound, bad software. These earphones are great at cancelling most noise in busses or trains and the sound from them is great. The headphones do have a problem where they keep on cutting out for half a second which you get used to after a while but i hope it is fixed in a future update.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy with my purchase I have only had these a few days. I first bought Bose truly wireless earbuds and did like those except for the fact they protruded out of my ears too much for my liking & also the buttons were hard to mash on the Bose. So i returned those & purchased these Sony ones and I love these. My first issue with these at first was that Sony Headphones app sucks. I dont feel like the app itself has many features or video tutorials. It looks outdated in my opinion & simply doesn’t match the quality of their great headphones. I also had issues at first with pairing these to my macbook. They wouldn’t popup on my laptop but I learned you have to hold your fingers on the Left & Right earbud touch pads at the same time for 7 seconds to initiate pairing mode. They instantly popped up on my bluetooth list. These are noise canceling when I pair them with my iphone. I can hear a little background noise when I use on my Macbook though even when the volume is maximized. Last issue with these is that there is no way to adjust volume on them directly, you must use your phone, watch, or laptop to increase/decrease noise level. Not too big of an issue for me though I guess. Great quality & overall I am satisfied.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Greatest sounding true wireless ear buds I have finally found the one! I am truly in love with these earbuds. I have been using them consistently since the day I received them. First I want to say the packaging and set up was truly breeze within 5 minutes I was set up and ready to rock out. I was really impressed by all the different ear molds that they provided there was many different sizes and even two texture types insuring that you will find the perfect fit for your ear. These earbuds have very powerful bass and the sounds come out perfectly clear. The noise cancelation is amazing and definitely let’s you get lost in the music. I really like the ambient noise control and use that while I am walking or at work so I can hear when somebody calls me out. The battery life is great and they last me all day and when I am talking on the phone the receiver can always hear me well. I also like the touch sensitive controls which allow you to control the noise cancelling and also pause and change songs. The case is a little big but still very pocketable. My only wish is that they could be sweatproof so that I can take them to the gym, maybe the next version!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Truly Wireless Earbuds on the Market Sony is at it again, dominating a particular consumer electronics market and leading the way in quality and innovation. The WF-1000XM3 earbuds take sound quality, range, and industry-leading noise cancellation and put it all in one headset with Google Assistant integrated right in. For me, as an Android users, this is a match made in heaven. I have had the pleasure of owning Sony's latest over-the-ear noice cancelling headphones, and these just take that same wonderful experience and make it more portable, comfortable, and easier. The battery life is exceptional for both the buds and the charging case itself, and the USB C charge port makes charging them back up an even faster experience than competing products. Overall, this is the best sounding truly wireless headset I've used, and I've used nearly all of the major competitors' products. Here's the Pro's: - Either-side, single ear operation - Very good bass - Very good noise cancellation - Google Assistant integration built-in - Comfortable fit and light weight - Outstanding battery life - Premium look and feel for the product, its housing, and its packaging - Reasonable price point Here's the Cons: - Had trouble pairing them the first time, but resetting them and repairing fixed it (but it may have been caused by an update to Android that same day). - Not advertised as water- or sweat-resistant in any capacity. I won't use them for working out. - Inner ear silicone really goes deep into the ear, which (grossly enough) tends to accumulate earwax on the silicone near the speaker hole - will require diligence to keep wax from getting to the speaker over time. I have already recommended these to fellow coworkers who travel on plane and train often, and will continue to talk well of these buds for a long while to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Effort at Noise Cancelling Buds Sony has long been a trusted name when it comes to audio, so I was excited to try out these wireless earbuds. For years, I've used my trusty Bose QC20s, so I have excited to test out this Sony model to see if their noise cancelling can perform at a comparable level. First, the noise cancellation abilities are pretty good. Not "great," but "pretty good." My QC20s appear to rely less on a physical seal and more on active noise cancelling than the Sony pair, and they appear to perform slightly better in that department, but they are still decent. I mowed the lawn with them, and it drowned out the noise pretty well. I also enjoy that each earbud can be customized for controls (unlike other earbuds where both must be the same). Finally, the audio performance is top-touch, and they deliver some of the best soundstage that I have seen in this space. However, there are a couple of drawbacks. First (and most importantly), the fit of the earbuds is not ideal for me. Even trying multiple tips did not really improve this, and they become uncomfortable to wear after some time for me. I'll admit that I usually have trouble with earbuds, so only a minority of them fit me "well," but still, that is a consideration. Also, they are large. They don't really fit "flush" to the ear like other brands, and they look kind of silly as they resemble more of a Bluetooth headset look than flush earbuds. Still, it's obvious that Sony was trying to beat Bose to market on wireless, noise-cancelling earbuds, and they were largely successful in their effort.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Why did I wait so long!? I would consider these the best sounding and feature-rich true wireless earphones available. My previous pair were the Jabra Elite Active 65T which I purchased soon after they were released. They were good. They sounded ok and the fit was hit or miss. I never had much success walking with them, as the seal would become less tight after a few minutes and they would occasionally just fall out. Annoying! I really wanted to like the Jabra’s and yes I tried all 3 ear tips and even some aftermarket brands. They would be okay for a few days and then more of the same. I researched the B&O Beoplay E8, the Master & Dynamic MW07 plus, the Sennheiser Momentum 2 and the Jabra Elite 75T's. I almost went with the Master & Dynamics because of their ear fins which added stability and a more secure fit. I'm very happy with my WF1000XM3's. Fantastic sound and clarity! The fit is perfect for me. No falling out while walking or even using the rowing machine! They can get extremely loud, if that's your thing. No connectivity issues, customizable controls for EACH earbud. Oh and dual Bluetooth 5.0 earphone connectivity! Excellent earphones!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Noise Cancelling Earbuds Overall, these earbuds are better than any alternatives available on the market. They generally do a good job of canceling out background noises, but don't quite have the same capabilities as over-ear or on-ear options. I really like the ambient sound setting that allows you to have conversations without having to take the earbuds off. They are pretty comfortable and easy to wear for extended periods of time. Battery life is pretty good, I tend to get around 6-7 hours of life when using the noise cancelling and/or ambient sound modes, and longer when those are off. It's very convenient charge the earbuds in the case, and I have never run into a situation where the earbuds and the charging case were both out of battery. My one gripe here would be that the case is rather large and bulky for earbuds. They are easy to pair to Android headphones, and the Sony Headphones app makes it very easy to customize the earbud touch controls. Unfortunately, the first pair of earbuds that I ordered stopped working after a couple weeks (the right one was not able to be charged). However, it was relatively easy to order a replacement pair. Overall, these are, in my opinion, the best option for wireless earbuds currently on the market in terms of sound quality and noise canceling ability. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a pair of great-sounding earbuds!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Choice for small factor earbuds My first impression of these ear buds is one of admiration, in comparison to other earbuds they sound so much better with the noise cancelling feature. It has a snug fit that won't fall off even when you go out for a run. It doesn't have the same noise cancelling features as a full on over-the ear headset but you can't really expect that in such as small factor. The wirelesss connectivity is great but the app needs a bit more work. The touch control is smooth and responsive, the battery life is also impressive, I usually charge these buds every two days! Over all I was super impressed with device and would definitely recommend it to friends. My only pet peeve is that it feels a tad bit heavy compared to other earbuds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Noise Cancelling Earbuds I've used these headphones almost daily in just about every environment (work, exercising, travel including flying, around the house, and even playing drums). Unboxing them there were a few things that I loved right out of the box. USB-C charging is a great feature. As most of my device are now on the standard, it's nice that I'm one device closer to finally removing the micro USB cable from my backpack. Also, there are six additional sets of ear tips with three different sizes in both silicone and foam. I generally have a difficult time finding earbuds that fit well, but with the many options and some trial and error I found these to be very comfortable. The overall look of everything was also very sleek and refined which is just a nice extra touch. Setting them up is easy and NFC makes it a breeze. The app definitely stands above the competition and has a ton of features such as EQ and adjusting the noise canceling intensity. The EQ wasn't anything I thought I needed, but I found myself using more and more. I really enjoyed using them daily. The sound quality is great for casual listening, but amazing when I was actively listening to music. The channel separation is fantastic and each frequency comes through nice and clear without overpowering each other. Initially, I discovered they weren't as loud and some I've had in the past, but the noise canceling really negates the need for outrageous volume. Watching movies with these on my tablet during flights was my favorite experience. The dialogue was clear, bass had great punch for action scenes, and the noise canceling made me forget I was on a place. The audio syncs up perfectly with the video which is also something I've had issues in the past with other wireless ear buds. Exercising with these was not my favorite. In all fairness they aren't really advertised to be used this way though. They don't have any kind of sweat resistance and once I got hot I had some trouble keeping them in. One unexpected area they shined, though, was using them while drumming. They stayed secure, which is something I've had problems with. Also, the noise canceling really muted the sound of my own drumming so I could hear the music I was playing along to. Their performance was on par if not better than over the ear style headphones. Overall, these have been great for me for daily use with great comfort, sound quality, and features. The only thing missing was volume controls and the ability to work out with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Earbuds 12/4 Updated Review: I was able to figure out my "user issues" had to do with understanding the auto “environment” detection. Once I figured it out and was able to adjust and change settings, I was able to fully understand my user error. I have taken these on my daily walks, mowing the lawn, at work, and on airplane flights and they perform flawlessly. I love these and do not intend to set them aside for no reason. I highly recommended this product. I have been using the earbuds 100% every day since I received them. Their sound and quality are superb and they are overall excellent performers. The case and earbuds both seem very sturdy and high tech. I do have a few minors sometimes annoying quirks: once in a while I hear "dings" on my earbuds. I have been checking to see if there are any kind of notifications that create these "dings" but have not been able to figure it out. Also, sometimes I am not too clear between the different modes when I am exercising or static and I find myself switching from one to another. I think these are more user issues since I have not really read any tutorials, and these are high tech earbud in my opinion. I plan on going through the tutorial so that I can fully take advantage of all the nice features these have. I also have to figure out how to enable google assistant so that I can take advantage of it. The minor quirk I have about the design is that although it comes with 3 or 4 ear tips, I do not find a big enough one for my ears and I am constantly re-inserting them, so they don't fall off. I wish they had a deeper and wider tip I could use instead. I have been looking for some on-line but don't want to order them since I am not sure they will be any bigger or wider.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful sound, easy to lose . What can I say, these earbuds do have great sound quality, and are so nice to not need to worry about wires. One thing that I do not care for much, they are easy to lose, if it falls out while wearing, hope it's easy to trace your steps. I however was not that lucky. I happened to be at the gym when my earbud fell out and unfortunately someone smashed it by accident. :( Very upsetting. Also since I can't afford to spend that much on something of the sort, I don't highly recommend these to be used if your always running around and very active. But as far as sound, they are fantastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony Noise Canceling Wireless Earbuds I've used these earbuds for a month now and they work pretty well. I wouldn't say they are completely noise canceling, but they did a really good job at cutting out the noises on an airplane recently for me. I'm still having a hard time trying to figure out how to turn noise canceling on and off, it seems random to me. I didn't read the instructions, so that is probably my own fault. I REALLY like the charging case. I have never had wireless earbuds before and this is a really nice touch. I don't have to worry about them dying on a flight and needing to plug them in, because they can just be recharged in their case. I have the lighter colored earbuds and really like the color. They look and feel high quality which I appreciate. I did have one issue with connecting them to my phone's bluetooth, where it started playing my music from my phone and not my headphones at work. Luckily it wasn't playing an inappropriate song because I couldn't tell if it was just playing really quietly on the earbuds or what was happening and my coworker had to tell me he could hear it. I wasn't able to figure out how to connect it to my computer's bluetooth yet, but that is okay for now. I also haven't used them for a phone call yet, but I like that you can do that if you wanted to. Overall, great product that I would recommend. I just need to do a little more research to figure out the answers to my questions I think.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great clarity and Google Assistant Integration These in-ear noise canceling headphones from Sony are so close, but they are missing key items for my use to be perfect. First let’s focus on cosmetic aspect. They have a standard black finish with a gold accent which I prefer a nice dark color. The charging case is a bit big, but still fits in your pocket. The magnetic clasp gives you that solid sense of contact. I do like that the charging case is USB C, but the cable it came with is way too short, Sony should look to make this around 2-3 feet long. Fit is nice, but the fact you have to twist them in seems odd simply because as you walk around they untwist. I tried larger ear bud cushions, but they just end up hurting. I tried to find the perfect amount of time of use before they started hurting. I found it to be right around 2.5 hours. At this point I would swap from 1 ear to another to listen to music at work. I did wear them to the gym 1 time just to see how they work and man they are amazing for keeping sounds out I was in my own zone! However they are not sweat proof so can’t use them as my workout pair of headset. Also you can’t control volume from headset. Sorry, but this is a must. I can tap the headset and tell google to drop volume, but I don’t want to talk to my headset that I can do with a flick of finger on most other models of in-ear headphones. Also from the within the headphone app it would only let you configure google assistant on 1 ear and playback control on the other. So if you are like myself who wants to listen to music with 1 ear in and 1 out then you will lose either playback control or google assistant. They should have made it that you can hold down for 2 seconds on either side to enable google assistant and just tap for playback control on both sides. These headphones are definitely focused on audio clarity and noise canceling and these 2 functions work amazing. You don’t get deep bass, but that’s typical for in-ear from products. It’s more about hearing your music than feeling it which is perfectly okay to me. Call quality indoors was good people on the other line could hear me clearly, but outdoors users complained they couldn’t hear me very well. Took them on my last flight and fully enjoyed this pair of headphones on a simple 3 hour flight. I was able to use them the whole time on a single charge and they performed virtually perfect. 1 random quirk if you put 1 headphone in to charge it drops connection of the other but only when I keep right ear on and charge left.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The reference for wireless noise cancelling My reference for comparing headphones include Sennheiser HD650 overear headphones, Bose Quietcomfort 20 wired earbuds, Apple BeatsX in-ear bluetooth. Pros: - Excellent audio quality. Not artificial/electronic sounding like the Bose. - Pairs quickly when removing from case, and pauses music when removing one of the earbuds - Battery lasts a long time - Phenomenal noise cancelling ability, possibly better than the Bose earbuds - Ambient listen mode, especially adjustability depending on situation (hear surroundings when walking vs. in office where you might want to only partially tune out coworkers vs. commuting on public transit in complete isolation) - Many ear tips to choose from for each ear, from foam to silicone. Relatively comfortable for an in-ear style headphone. - USB charging, so can charge from phone if really in a pinch. Cons: - No volume control on earbuds like my prior bluetooth headphones - Accidentally touching controls when removing or adjusting earbuds - Charging case rather large for pocket - Packaging is rather cluttered appearing, but typical of Sony's marketing team trying to advertise every single feature - Comfort still loses to Airpods or Bose eartips Who should get this: - GREAT for those who require the best noise cancellation and sound quality in a truly wireless earbud - NOT for people intense working out since its not sweatproof (ie Beats or Jaybirds) - NOT for people who want to feel like you're not wearing anything (ie Bose or Airpods)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound quality Upon receiving these I was impressed by how aesthetically looking these are. They have a nice weight to them to so they are not flimsy. I am a larger guy and I was skeptical how these would fit in my ears as other buds I have purchased just sink into my large lobe holes. They fit perfectly! I wanted these to watch movies and not disturb my sleeping wife, let me tell you once these are in she voiding hear a thing. The only downside and it could be a good thing too is the wearer can’t hear a thing of the outside world either. I also learned that there is an app for the headphones in which you can control the headphones. That is a big plus too! I wanted a more expensive brand for the upcoming holidays but I am pleasantly surprised at how happy I am with these Sony’s.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound quality These earbuds are truly amazing, the sound quality is the best. I am totally amazed by the clarity of the sound. Connecting to my phone was simple, I just had to turn on the NFC on my phone, and tap on the sony buds case, and it connected in few seconds. They fit well in my ears, and while walking, they don't fall off. Very comfortable to wear, I've been almost listening to music for 5 hours straight, and I am not feeling uncomfortable at all. I felt it's bit expensive but after I started using it, it is well worth the money I paid for. Very happy with the performance. I would surely recommend this to friends and family.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony WF-1000XM3 Noise Canceling Earbuds I was had the opportunity to try the Sony WF-1000XM3 Industry Leading Noise Canceling Truly Wireless Earbuds. I am really amazed how great they work. I use them at the gym, driving to work and travelling. I fit perfect in my ear. I come in a charging case. Which I pretty much charge once a week. They are labelled with the right and left so no mistaking where they belong. The sound quality is amazing. The case is really nice. You can use them with your google assist. I am really happy with the overall quality of these buds. I really do not hear anything but what you are meant to hear and that is my music. I highly recommend these are amazing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best audio in an almost perfect package First off let me start by saying that the audio quality these true wireless earbuds put out is unmatched. While you may get slightly more bass out of a certain competitor, the overall range and rich sound quality truly outshines the rest while the bass remains very solid and doesn't distort the audio in the slightest. These earbuds also have DSEE HX which makes a HUGE difference when listening to compressed audio. The noise cancelling is perfect and the ambient sound allows enough hearing through but is easily negated if the volume is up at a medium level. One of the coolest features is once they are drained, being able to get a solid hour and a half or so of listening time off a quick 10 minute charge! Adaptive hearing works pretty flawlessly as you transition from sitting to walking to driving, and I seem to get a solid 4 hours of battery life on high volume, although the battery will last longer at lower volumes. It comes with 6 different ear piece fittings so I was easily able to find the right size and the case is magnetic as to keep them from falling out easily. My only complaint with these headphones is when attempting to answer or make phone calls, people cannot hear me very well, so I end up always taking my earbuds out and completing the call on my actual phone. If you're looking to use these with high priority on call clarity, these may not be the best fit for you. However if you are focused on finding a true wireless earbud with top notch sound quality, I think you can look no further.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow... just... Wow... First off, these sound great. How great? This is maybe all you need to know. With other sub-$100 wireless earphones I've used (about a half-dozen or so), I can not tell the difference between a 128K and a 256K AAC stream from my iPhone 8. With these I can clearly hear a difference between those, so I'm storing less music at the higher bit rate on my phone. I haven't listened to a few different things to make an assessment. Music I was very familiar with. Peter Gabriel's "So", Steely Dan's "Aja", Grace Jones' "Slave to the Rhythm", Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and Bruce Springsteen's very magical new album "Western Stars." I also checked out a couple big loud superhero movies. I'll likely not use these for movies, as I don't like watching movies on my phone, but they work well for that, too. They can be a teeny bit finicky to set up...but this is a GOOD thing, because you have control over these that you don't have with others, thanks to Sony's app. Know that the "Clear Bass feature" needs to be turned up (to about +6db imho) to sound right for rock or pop music (leave the rest of the EQ alone). Also, imho, for best listening, turn off adaptive sound control and turn on ambient sound control, leaving noise canceling ALL THE WAY OFF. Also, mind-bogglingly, when my app updated, it reset a few of my controls so I had to go in and change them again. VERY minor annoyance. Finally, experiment with the very generous array of ear buds that they give you. Finding just the right pair (they might be different for your two ears, btw) is key to getting the sound right. I find them comfortable to wear for a longer period of time. The charging case is a little big for a pocket, and the actual units are bigger than you might guess from the photos, but you get a full array of ear buds that will probably fit any ear you can imagine. So, why not 5 stars??? Simply put, I can't give 5 * only because of the price. In fact, normally I would only give them 3 when they are this expensive... but I have to give them 4* because they are so amazing sounding (once you get them set up). This is too much money for most people to spend on something like this. If you are the person for whom it is not, you will love these. As you may notice, I got my set free, and personally would not likely have spent my own money on it. This means when I'm going out somewhere, I might find myself carrying my cheaper set, afraid that I might lose these somehow!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for focusing on the music I have owned many Sony headphones, from basic earbuds to studio monitors. The WF-1000XM3 has quickly become my favorite given its fantastic sound quality and adjustable noise cancellation. I sought these headphones primarily for music enjoyment, and Sony delivered. I was surprised when I first listened to the WF-1000XM3. Never would I have guessed that wireless earbuds could sound this good. Noise canceling works really well, with even loud noises becoming almost silent. The headphones present a warm, laid-back musical experience with an emphasized, punchy bass-end. It’s a great combination for listening on the go, producing a dynamic sound that doesn’t fatigue the ears. My favorite feature of the WF-1000XM3 is customizable Ambient Sound Control. It’s truly an impressive feat to dial in exactly how much of the outside world I want to hear. Especially useful is being able to activate “focus on voice” when I’m in a noisy place but still need to talk with people nearby. Music listening is where these earbuds shine, but they can handle phone calls when needed. In addition to sounding great, the WF-1000XM3 feels great thanks to the bounty of 14 included earpads in several different sizes and materials. I easily found just the right pair that fits securely in my ears without excess pressure. For iOS and Android devices, Sony’s Headphones Connect app manages the noise control, sound equalizer, and other features of the WF-1000XM3. It may not be flashy, but the app is straightforward and gives quick access to every setting on one scrollable page. Even without its app, the WF-1000XM3 paired easily with other gadgets (and even my PC), offering the same noise-free listening experience for any Bluetooth-enabled device. Overall, the Sony WF-1000XM3 is easy to use, sounds amazing, and offers excellent noise cancellation. Perfect for focusing on the music.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Earbuds! I've been putting these things through the ringer and I am loving these earbuds. My only issue is with taking calls. Unfortunately, the people on the other end of the line say they have issues hearing me. Aside from that, these are great! The sound quality is amazing, battery life is extremely long, and the noise cancelling function is spot on. These suckers arrived just in time for the start of elementary school band. My daughter chose to play the sax and I'm sure someday she will be amazing, but for now I find solace in my noise cancelling Sony WF-1000XM3 earbuds!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great with room for improvement There are a lot of things I love about this set. I love the sound that I get from the earbuds when playing music. Music is very clear and I can hear more of songs that I could before. They're also very comfortable and easy to pair. I can wear them for quite a while without my ears hurting or feeling tired. Pairing them with my devices was very easy and the app was easy to use as well. I also appreciate the noise canceling optimizing itself automatically as I listened to different audio. Charging them was very easy and I love the indicator on the case showing they're charging. The case is a little large for some but I do like the size for me personally. Google assistant is very helpful and I like the feature of having it read out my notifications through my ear. I'm not a huge fan of loud noise coming from my phone so I appreciate being able to hear my notifications through the earbuds. My issues with the earbuds would be the battery. For whatever reason, my left ear bud would drain faster than the right ear bud. Overall, I used the earbuds quite a bit but I did have to charge them quite a few times throughout the day. It's not completely bad but something I had to keep an eye on. Also, my voice would go in and out during calls. There were plenty calls that I had to restart to try and get a better connection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best wireless earbuds My first say the package that earbuds came in was beautiful. Very high-class Packaging and the quality of the material was very precursor to how amazing these earbuds truly are. The earbuds were charged when I got them I start using them right away first thing I did was download the app they use and go to different modes of sound management. You have the off mode what's basic headphones. It sounded pretty great by itself like that if you're not in a quiet area a secondary mode which is noise cancelling helps to block out all sound and the only thing you here is your music. The cons with sound cancelling mode is that yet have a good seal around your earbuds which they provide mini sizes and materials to accomplish this. The last mode is the ability to listen to your surroundings when you are enjoying music. This works fairly well even if you need to pause your music you can still talk to people. The more advanced auction is to control your earbuds different levels of pitch base via the app if you're into that. For taking calls the earbuds suck pretty much really couldn't hear person they couldn't hear me yeah they don't work to take calls. Another negative they hurt my ears not used to in the ear earbuds so maybe it's just my ears are sore for using them for hours I don't know. It all earbuds provide me with the level or I can determine in the future if other earbuds are good quality the Sony earbuds will provide you with advanced great sounding music portable extra battery life that provides extended enjoyment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound quality and snug fit Design:? - The design of the headphones are very classy. Even the rose bronze colored cover on the charging case exuded class.? - The in-ear pieces themselves, while large, fit beautifully and neither felt heavy nor over-sized.? - The charging case itself was much larger than I was expecting, due to the ability to provide 24hrs of playback charging, and I would have taken a case that was 20-30% smaller at a sacrifice of 6-8hrs.? - The red charging LED was noticeable yet understated. Pairing & Interface? - Pairing was fairly simple once I installed the 'Sony | Headphone Connect' app. I could not pair via the normal method I was used to.? - Customization via the app was very detailed. There are four environmental/activity profiles that you can set different noise cancelling levels for. I did enjoy how as the slider moved an image of people, cars, and buildings would transition from 100% transparent to completely solid, giving you a visual representation of the noise cancelling setting.? - Answering calls and changing tracks was simple and effortless. ? - I am very disappointed that there is no volume control on the ear phones, especially as I had planned on using them for activities that generally do not allow easy access to my phone.? Audio:? - I have owned about six (6) pairs of wireless in-ear headphones and without a doubt, these are the BEST sounding ones I have ever used. The bass response and power are unreal. I set the equalizer on the app to 'Excited' and it raise all levels a little and made the treble a little brighter, which really made these headphones shine.? - The noise cancelling was quite impressive. I ran a miter saw a few times while noise cancelling was turned off and then slowly moved to full cancellation and I was amazed at how well it suppressed the saw noise. At full cancellation I could barely hear the motor spin up.? - Every now and then where people on a call state that they cannot hear me. I switch to my phone I come through clearly. I was really happy with these headphone until the left one died. I could not get it to turn on no matter what I tried. An hour charging did nothing. When both headphones were in the case the right one had a solid red LED and the left one's LED would fade and blink. I sadly had to send them back and I am now waiting to receive my replacements.? For those that just want audio quality, buy these. If you are looking for headphones with a full control feature set, these are not them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good earbuds from Sony The earbuds were delivered on time and packaging was very good, which made the unboxing experience very pleasant. The charging case feels nice and high quality, built with high quality materials and feels sturdy. The charging case however is very bulky and not something that can be carried in jeans pocket when you step out. The bulky charging base provides more charges on the go, but would be nice if I had option of choosing a larger or smaller size case. The earbuds are on the bulky side but are lightweight and comfortable to wear for short periods of time, but get's uncomfortable over longer periods of time. The sound quality and bluetooth connection is great and did not have any issues while listening to music. Pairing the earbuds to my phone was also a breeze. The "Headphones" app gives the flexibility to choose the sound signature that suits you the best and works great, it also lets your customize various other features of the earbuds. Noise cancelling and ambient modes work very well for earbuds this size when you are indoors, like in a room or commuting.  However, its a completely different story outdoors, the external microphone catches a lot of wind and you will hear buzzing sound through the earbuds when noice cancelling or ambient mode is turned on outdoors. You will hear this even when its not  windy outside, just walking is enough. Let's talk about call quality. All my calls were clear and person on the other end could hear me well, but I always hear a lot of static noice when on a phone call and would expect a better experience with high end earbuds. Battery life of the earbuds are good and as advertised, I was able to get 6 hours of mixed usage with ambient mode and noise cancelling. The charging case provides 3 extra charges which is great and sort of justifies the bulky charging case  Touch controls on the earbuds work great. These are not physical buttons but touch pads on both earbuds and are very sensitive and easy to use, having touch controls is great since you don't get the feeling of pushing the earbuds deep inside your ears every time you touch them. Left ear buds control the ambient sound and noise canceling which worked every single time for me. Right buds control pause and play and skip tracks which also works really well. The right buds can also be customized for volume control depending on your needs.  The below improvements will make these earbuds a great contender for quality high end ear buds  - Poketable charging case with wireless charging  - Water resistance  - Smaller earbuds and more comfort for long term wearing  - Better placed external microphone so reduce wind noice outdoors  - Better call quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Sound quailty These earbuds are pretty very slick. The design is attractive, including the casing. The buds fit snug in the case which also acts as a charging port for the earbuds. I've used them a handful of times and am still sitting with a 70% charge. The case is charged via USB. The earbuds were a little awkward when it came to selecting a snug earpiece- the small is a bit too small and the medium is a bit too big. The pairing was easy. The buds work well with both of my phones. I do find the noise controls to be a bit awkward. It doesn't always seamlessly switch between noise canceling and ambient sound. The ride controls were easy enough to figure out and work as expected. I would not call these true noise canceling as I would assume the fit would have to be near perfect for that to be the case. These work well in an office setting, but not a super loud area. The sound quality is crisp and clear. Overall, the buds are attractive and cancel noise as best as I would expect a wireless product could (pending fit). The product is fairly easy to use and the sound quality is superb.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Earbuds I Have Used My experience with these wireless earbuds has been very positive. They sync easily with my device, and fit perfectly in my ears. The app and buds are easy to use and figure out, I didn't feel the manual was necessary. They charge quickly and maintain battery for a long time. The noise cancelling is excellent but I feel the ambient mode is lacking. I still feel I have to only use one bud while at work otherwise I won't hear people talking to me. They are excellent for tuning everything out though! Very pleased with the audio quality! Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tiny and STYLISH Sony's WF-1000XM3 truly are "Industry Leading" as they claim. No other wireless headphones sound nor look as good as these. The gesture support and controls are phenomenal and incredibly accurate. The noise cancelling is great, better than some of my over-ear headsets. I love that they snap into their charging case magnetically so that you know they're connected all the way. Compared to Apple's AirPods, these look AMAZING. No weird stick things falling our of your ear. The color even makes them look professional, so no one knows if you're listening to music or sitting in on a business call. I recommend these to anyone who can afford them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Earbuds! I absolutely love these earbuds! The presentation is stunning, with great design on both the earbuds themselves and the case as a whole. The controls are very well thought out and super easy to use, I just wish that there was an option that would allow you to change the volume. The charge is superb and lasts forever, not to mention that it recharges relatively quickly. On a separate note, the modes are very helpful and the quality is incredible! The depth of sound is so good that I found myself discovering new things in songs that I had been listening to for years, whether it be surprise instrumental or vocal snippets of audio. The noise cancellation works flawlessly, surprisingly so even at a relatively low volume. The best part is that these earbuds are made for everyone, since the amount of ear tips that come with the packaging have every size you could ever possibly need and there are two types to choose from (just make sure to space out the wear time because prolonged wear can cause sore ears). Overall, I was extremely impressed with these and would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product It’s a great fit and after the software update I notice a huge difference in the connection loss being resolved very lite and sound is great and clear no distortion at all so after. Having this headphones it’s just getting better battery life is great shape isn’t bad. Very light the sound quality has grown on me over all I would say they are great as for touch controls reminds me a lot of AirPods so I’m neutral in this area

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome in-ear headphones These are by far the best in-ear headphones that I own. The audio and noise cancelling features are absolutely wonderful; however, in order to get a proper seal, I've had to put the earbuds so that it points upwards. This proper seal is necessary in order for the noise canceling to work properly. Positives - Incredible noise cancelling - Ability to control levels and create a custom EQ (using the app) - Fast connection to the phone. As soon as it is taken out of the case and I have put it in my ears, it has paired with my phone - Amazing look and build quality Negatives - Hefty carrying case. This is a solid case that doesn’t easily “slip” into your pocket. However it does provide with a couple of charges so you won’t be stranded without power for long - In ear fit. I tried all the different sizes for a better fit, but the best solution was to lock it in place by pointing the headset upwards (above the tragus pointed towards the sky… all the promotional pictures have this resting on it pointed parallel to the ground) - Not waterproof. This hasn’t been a problem for me, but it is worth mentioning I received this product at a discounted price as part of this honest review. Would I buy it at the full price? Absolutely.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it These earbuds are great. Love the noise cancelling and the design is nice, a little bulky for me but works well. I bought the black version and is very sleek. The settings changing is very easy with a tap of the earbuds, no buttons, just a tap like a touch screen. Would recommend to all my friends and family.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony’s wireless earbuds WF-1000XM3 I have been wearing the earbuds for the last month and have been very impressed with the Bluetooth connection on my iPhone. This has been an issue with four previous Bluetooth wireless earbuds. I have been wearing them daily to take my dog on his morning and afternoon walks. Sound quality is excellent. Initially, I noticed that as I was walking, if there was any wind It was picked up by the microphone. The wind noise is distracting and interferes with the sound. I started to play with the accompanying Sony Headphones app and found that turning off the ambient sound function helped to diminish the wind sound problem. I like that I can tap the left bud once to pause the music if I need to talk to someone. I charged the case when I received them and after using them daily for the month, I have only charged them one additional time. When I put them in my ears the buds tell you the percentage of battery life and that I am connected to Bluetooth, a nice feature. With the latest App update it now gives you a percentage of charge for the case. At age 68 and attending too many loud rock concerts in the 60’s and 70’ my hearing is declining with age, but these earbuds still deliver excellent sound reproduction. I would have given these earbuds 5 stars, however as my primary usage is outdoors, I continue to hear wind noise when walking despite changing the ambient noise setting. It is minimal but still noticeable so I gave them four stars. I also plan to wear the earbuds when It is warm enough to bike, and have concerns about wind noise with that activity. I am still experimenting with different size earpieces, between the foam and silicone to find the right size. I have an issue with the left earbud falling out when walking. "I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion”

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic! When you first open the box and hold the case, it feels like a high end quality product. It comes with a lot of tips to fit your comfort needs. I have tried a several earbuds and these are by far the best. It comes with USB-C charging , but there is no wireless charging which would be nice considering the full price The touch controls are a really nice feature for changing settings or songs. I tried these while mowing the lawn and the mower definitely sounded more tamed. This I could actually hear my podcast! The app has so many different settings for sound and you can change the noise cancellation depending on you environment Audio quality is amazing! The bass sounds authentic and heavy, the voice is crisp and clear. It feels like you are listening to a quality product. Battery life has been great so far and I am not forced to charge it throughout the day like my other headphones. Sony has done an excellent job, they have addressed all of the issues and done a great job dealing with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great but Not Perfect I was eager to try these Sony earbuds as using my old wired headphones while traveling is inconvenient. The magnetic battery case and multiple sized ear buds were impressive. It's a very easy set up - you download the Sony app, make sure the Bluetooth on your phone is activated and then you connect. Comfort: I find the earbuds to be very comfortable . Everyone can find their right fit with the multiple sized soft earbuds that the product comes with. Although they look a little bulky at first, once you put them in, you hardly know they are there. Noise Cancelling: this is the main reason I was so eager to try these earbuds. Sony usually has very good noise cancelling features on their headphones. I found this function to be quite good on these earbuds. It effectively tuned out the sound of the subway on my commute to/from work. I really like the fact that I can adjust the amount of noise cancellation depending on my situation - truly customizable and a great feature. Battery life: I seem to have a bit of problem with my left earbud as the battery seems to drain faster than my right earbud (will have to test some more). I've used the earbuds to listen to music during my commute to and from work in NYC and have used them for a few days, charging only with the battery case. I noticed that the app doesn't indicate how much of a percentage battery is left on each ear bud. On my first day using these, I had the battery indicator on my left earbud go from 100% to 0% and then shut off. I had to look up instructions on how to reset it and then it was fine. Touch controls: I was not that thrilled with the placement of the touch sensors as I would accidentally touch the sensors when adjusting my earbuds. I think single tap/touch on the sensors should be eliminated to prevent accidental touches. It should require minimum of 2 taps or a swipe to activate. One major improvement I think they can potentially make is adding volume control to the earbuds. When I'm on a call at home, I may not necessarily have my phone/computer near me. I walk around the apartment with the earbuds on and sometimes I need to adjust the volume and always need to go back to find my device to adjust. Sound: the other parties on my phone calls sounded crisp and clear. My music sounds great with these earbuds as well and with the customization on the app, you can control the equalizer and save 2 custom profiles. Final thoughts: Well done Sony!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (Nearly) Perfect Headphones I've used these headphones every day since I received them. I wear them when I'm on my daily walks, at my desk at work (one, they operate independently) and at home whether relaxing or doing chores. Here are my observations so far: Pros: - Excellent sound for this price range. - Above average features - in app EQ, Adaptive Sound Control, Noise cancelling - Excellent Comfort - for me the most comfortable in ear headphones I own with several sizes and types of tips included - Aesthetics - this is highly subjective but to me these look both unique and attractive. They seem very high quality. I love the "silver" color, which to be honest looks more like "champagne" to me. - Excellent battery life Cons: - Everyone lists this it seems but it's kind of a big deal. No volume control on the headphones makes these less convenient to use than competitive choices. - Though the sound is very good, not having aptx HD or Sony's own LDAC seems a miss in an otherwise excellent product. - Though a minor quibble I wish when you override the adaptive sound control by tapping your left earbud that it would hold that until the next time you connect. Unfortunately if you change activity (sitting down after walking) it reverts back to the adaptive control and reverses whatever you selected. I thought about turning adaptive control off but I do like how it functions otherwise. The sound quality of these is the best of any earbuds I own and I own a few well-known brands. The sound is highly adjustable. If you don't like the way they sound I urge you to make adjustments to the EQ and Clear Bass. Once adjusted the highs are crisp without being harsh, the bass is strong without being overpowering and you can hear each individual instrument and nuances in the singer's voice. These headphones rival many more expensive over-ear headphones while being more portable and more comfortable. The noise cancelling is also very close to as good (not quite) as over-ear headphones that have this feature. I have used the noise canceling outside and in an airplane and it's very good, easily eliminating 70% of ambient sound. Given how portable and light these are, that's incredible! I absolutely recommend these to anyone looking for great sound, above average comfort (for in-ear headphones), and noise cancellation in this form factor. At this price point you will be hard pressed to find better. They're not perfect, but they are as close as I've come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony WF-1000XM3 The Sony Noise Cancelling earbuds model WF-1000XM3. The design of these earbuds are very nice, they look sleek, the case is a little large but very nice. The sound quality is very, very good. They are one of the best earbud/headphone audio quality devices I have heard in the last 2 years. (Note-not all ears are created equal, earbuds for me, tend to have a difficult fit) I use earbuds when I work out, running on the treadmill, stair climbers, lifting weights. Earbuds need to stay in the ear and not fall out and get damaged in the machine accidentally. Unfortunately, the design of these Sony earbuds, they don’t stay in my ears very well when I am active. I realized this and decided to limit the use to travel or office use. In office use, I would want to be able to take calls without taking these earbuds out, since they have a microphone, I want to keep them in and take my calls. The folks on the calls said I sounded like a robot talking, very digitized. I also noticed on calls that the playback I was hearing would pause occasionally then start playing back like chipmunks until the call was caught up. This happened more than once for me. So I cannot use these earbuds for calls. I traveled with these earbuds to Orlando. So I thought this would be a good test, being on a plane. The noise-canceling really doesn’t cancel out that much background noise. They almost immerse you with more sound that you want to hear to compensate for the background noise. I don’t know if just having super high volume is how I want my noise-canceling to work. From a travelers perspective, on a plane, I can’t see how these can compete with an over the ear noise canceling set of headphones. Overall, if I reach down to my bag, an earbud falls out, if I take a call, I need to disconnect Bluetooth to disconnect the earbuds, or want to change the volume, I have to pull out my phone, the cost versus benefit is not where I need these to be at this point. UPDATE: Since the firmware update, noise cancellation has improved. I will travel with my over the ear solution. Riding in a train or subway is probably a perfect fit for these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Noise Cancelling Wireless Ear Buds I've had the WF-1000XM3 for more than a week and used it every day on my commute. My commute is usually 3 hours each day on both bus and light rail, so noise-canceling is important to me. My need for noise-canceling started with a new job that requires me to commute to the downtown area of a large city. To pass the time away, I started to listen to podcasts and stream sports radio on my commute. After a few days, I noticed that the volume was at maximum for me to hear through the wired earbuds that came with my mobile phone. That is a concern because I don't normally have the volume at maximum and I would like to keep my ears safe from any damage. To that extent, I looked for noise-canceling headphones that were not the kind that you put over your head - they are too bulky and messes with your hair. I settled for a leading brand that was considered at the time the best available. I used that every day for 4 years and despite the wires attached to the mobile phone, I was happy because with the noise-canceling turned on, the volume was set to about 50% and I can hear clearly. The wired aspect of it was tolerated because of the noise-canceling. Forward 4 years and my trusty headphone is now on its last legs. Technology has moved on and there are now a multitude of Bluetooth enabled earbuds available but few are noise -canceling and none that could compete against good old trusty. Until I discover this one. Wow. This is exactly what I'm looking for for my commute. Noise-canceling on par (if not better - the volume setting is at 40% instead of 50% so I hope that's going to help with keeping my ears safe) than my old headphone and wireless. No more wires to mess around with and to get in the way. Love the Sony as the replacement! From my use case, I don't listen to music but the Sony's performance on the music front far exceeds the previous headphone. Using the Sony for phone calls seem to be on par - which is to say it is just okay. Let's just say that people noticed that I was using a headset and kind of tinny and mechanical. This is as opposed to the headphone I own that is made by a certain fruit company - when used for a phone call, it was clear and sounded natural. However, the fruit company's headphones are not noise-canceling and certainly not even close to Sony in acoustic performance. I am very happy about my purchase and the Sony headphone will be my "daily driver" going forward.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Premium Sound Spectacular sound from Sony, I have used these buds for a few weeks and the battery life is fantastic I listen about 2 hours a day to music or ebooks and they haven't let me down with even volume no matter the charge level. The carry case is a little bigger than I would have hoped to carry in a pocket but its not a deal breaker as I said previous, excellent battery life so no need to carry the case. The touch features are smooth on both ear buds. I really love the Quick attention mode and wearing detection, as I can converse without the hassle of interrupting the speaker by touching the ear buds to stop music, this feature worked flawlessly. The biggest plus is the noise cancelling technology ...others "say" they cancel noise but in reality they do a spotty job, NOT these Sony earbuds they worked perfectly every time including in a call center I visited (really needed it too). A perfect Ten, great job Sony.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Be Aware Before You Buy I am currently searching for a solution to resolve an issue with the wireless connectivity for the second time. Power is fully charged and I can't find any other issue as to why the headphones won't show up in my bluetooth connectivity setting. The first time this happened I downloaded new software and hoping this will be the fix this time too, but this process has sucked hours of my time and is an unnecessary frustration. I will not buy or recommend these and I see that the pricing has gone down $100, so that really get me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best Sound But Limited to Phones This is the best sounding audio device that I have ever listened to with crystal clear sound, great volume across the frequency spectrum, okay sound stage, and excellent active noise cancellation given the small size of these earphones. The main issues for me that hold back these earphones from being an excellent product are the following: 1) Siri on iPhone takes a long time to activate, requiring a 3'ish second button hold followed by another 3 seconds for Siri to actually start listening. I suspect that the first delay is merely to prevent you from accidentally activating Siri, and the second delay is because they're just emulating the button press & hold on the phone. 2) These do not work consistently on Windows PC. I cannot get them to work pretty much at all on a Surface Pro 4, including after the August 27, 2019, firmware update that was supposed to fix Windows connectivity issues. If this is a must-have feature for you like it is for me, this is an absolute deal-breaker. In conclusion, if all you need are truly wireless earphones for your phone and only your phone, these are possibly the best ones that you can buy today. If you would also like to use them on your computer, however, stay away from these as they do not seem to work on PC as of August 27, 2019.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor Product and Servicing Quality I bought the wireless noise cancelling headphone (WF-1000XM3) on 2nd Oct 2019 at SONY Store which am very disappointed due to the poor product and very poor servicing quality. One of the earpieces (left side) has no sound despite low usage of the headphone. It was sent for servicing on 19th Dec 2019 which the left earpiece was replaced since it cannot be charged. On 28th Dec 2019, the replaced left earpiece was faulty with loud cracking sound after using the earpiece for around 5 to 10 minutes. The defective unit was sent for servicing again and awaiting to recollect the serviced unit this evening (7 Jan 2020).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very very good truly wireless earbud I really like this WF-1000XM3 truly wireless earbud. The sound quality is very very good. The bass is just nice and not too much. Treble is just nice too. With DSEE HX enabled, the sound is slightly better. However, battery life is reduced by half. I decided to turn it off. While making a call, the person at the other end of the call often complained that i am too soft. Apple AirPod is certain better in phone call situation. Therefore, i use this earbud mainly for listening to music and for movies. Its noise cancelling is effective in normal condition. In flight, its noise cancellation is not as good as my Bose QC20 when watching movies. Though sound quality with music, the Sony is one step better. The charging case is ergonomically designed and works well. Despite shipping with 7 ear tips, i am unable to find the right fit for my left ear. My right ear though fitted well with medium foam tip. Overall, this is the best truly wireless earbud available and the constant low stock level attest to the high demand of this earbud. I strongly recommend this earbuds to anyone looking for quality sound and good noise cancellation in a wireless package.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound but glitchy. Bought this 2 months ago. Was working fine but somehow one side of the ear bud seems to be draining more battery than the other.

Nonetheless great sound quality and super noise cancellation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Definitely worth it Was painful paying such a price for these earbuds but really happy every time I use it. The earbuds would be way better if it had a minimum of ipx2 rating without having to worry if in a warmer room my sweat is going to kill my earbuds. The ANC and Ambient sound works just fine but could do better. With ANC I can still hear people talking without me blasting music, and with ambient I sometimes still have to pause/ minimise volume to hear people clearly. Bonus features would be if connecting multiple devices are possible but the hot swap does fine since I don’t do swaps often. Battery life if it’s possible to push for longer hours as well. If you max out audio quality by switching on ANC and DSEE HX on it will only last about 2.5-3hours

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unbeatable noise cancelling! The NC feature works well even in flying airplane. The bass is noticeably better than the first 1000X and the longer playback is a real plus. However, picking the silver colour unit is my biggest mistake - the case pick up stains easily, making of look dirty. I wish Sony had sold me a black case with silver earphones or adopt the 1000X case which also stands upright.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BEST Truly Wireless Earphones! When Sony released the WF-1000XM1, I was hesitant to buy it. I'm glad I waited because the WF-1000XM3 fixed everything that was an issue for me with the M1. The earbuds look way cooler and the NC is top notch! It sounds extremely good and I love using it during my commute on the train. Battery life is awesome too. One thing that is missing though is that there is not a way to find out how much juice is left in the case. It's not a problem for me cause I would just charge the case whenever they're not in use. I would also love sweat protection. Other than that, this is the BEST Truly Wireless Earphones!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound but unstable connection Am generally happy with the sound quality, especially the active noise cancellation feature. But the connection is rather unstable sometimes, even when I set it to prioritize stable connection. It doesn't happen often but its annoying when it does, especially considering the premium price tag of this headphones. Call quality is bad, sometimes unusable, sounds are breaking and the other side couldn't hear me at all. It's a shame to find a great pair of headphones failing to get its fundamental feature working.

It comes and goes so not a major dissatisfaction but it does make me wonder if the device is slightly faulty or is that just how it is for wireless earphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent sound quality and smart features I have tried many wireless earbuds (BOSE, B&O, Jabra etc.) but none of them as convincingly good as the Sony WF-1000XM3 wireless noise cancelling headphones). The main issue that i have with most other earbuds i tested is the audio delay when watching videos, i.e. picture and sound are out-of-sync. This Sony earbud does not have this issue whatsoever and its noise cancelling feature is truely impressive in blocking unwanted ambiance noise (especially on air plane). The earbuds automatically connects the moment I put them into my ears. Battery life is pretty good as well as I don't have to charge it offen. One small issue with this Sony earbud is its size - it is not as small/compact in comparison with some others. Overall, still a highly recommended rating for me.

Sound quality is pretty good for such a device and this is coming from someone who have “audiophile” earbuds and headphones.

All in all I am pretty happy with the purchase.

It is really a solid feel of a small headphones. Overall, it gives a really nice sound quality with just the right amount of bass. Connection is excellent. Ability to charge using USB C is definitely a great inclusion. The battery case is so small that you would not feel the weight much. It is actually quite easy to use overall though the app could use a major revamp. It needs a brush up in the UI to make it simpler and easier and faster to access most used functions/features. The ANC is really awesome. It actually works. Used it on my commute to work in public transport and the isolation of the noise and ambient sound were spot on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely perfect experience Around the time these headphones are released, I pre-ordered them and have never been disappointed by them once. These buds fill your every needs, be them isolating noise or letting conversations in, while providing very fine audio quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor wind management Rubbish and do not buy. Very poor management of wind especially when it’s blowing in your face. Although there is a setting to lessen this it should still not have a lot of wind feedback nevertheless.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good features but there's space for improvement. I am happy to purchase it. However, the features are similar to my WH-1000XM2. I am a bit disappointed with the 360 reality audio. It didn't meet my expectation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Little Things The noise cancelling is really good and so is the seal around the ears, making them a gem for travelling . Sound quality is also another strong point, with good clarity and a strong bass that’s not expected from a bud of its size. However some things aren’t up to scratch for the price. The case for the buds should be a lot more premium and the hinge is very loose compared to say the Apple Airpods.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb sound quality and noise cancelling The best true wireless headphones with noise cancelling feature. You can't go wrong with this headphones. The one and only downside is the call quality, people on the other side is difficult to hear when you are in a noisy environment(and maybe the case is slightly big?) Other than that it is just perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound but horrible mic quality I had great expectations when I purchased this. For most part these earphones worked well. However the biggest drawback is the abysmal mic quality. Many of my friends complained about my voice being distant and unclear when I had phone conversations with them with these earphones. Another issue is that the WhatsApp calls don’t automatically connect to the earphones. I finally sold these and got the AirPods pro. Pros: Superb sound quality Good battery life Cons: Horrible mic quality Minor connectivity issues with WhatsApp calls.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed I bought these headphones as an alternative to AirPods and was told the quality would be better. I’ve found the set to be extremely unreliable to use for calls - the other side hears more interference than voice and have taken to not using it for calls at all (although unless back in the case the earphones still reactivate intermittently). I took the pair back to the Sony store to see if it was a setting or specific issue to my set but it didn’t seem so. Bottom line don’t get these if you do a lot of hands free calls.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Noise Cancelling is Legit! Overall, good quality! I bought it last November. Noise cancellign and ambient sound features are very useful if you want to concentrate and or if you want to be safe when walking in the streets. Bass is also solid and just enough. I am also impressed when an update was released and I can configure the headphones if I want to control the volume using the touch sensors. It's good to know that they are making updates to imrpove the product even after the purchase! My only problem is when there are rare moments of disconnections but I guess it's normal in bluetooth headsets. Hope you can improve the touch gestures. I think it's kind of limiting having to choose between ambient sound control and volume control. Why not the ability to have both?

I love my new Sony Noise Canceling Truly Wireless Earbuds. These are so new and innovative, with a touch I am able to hear the outside world and their conversations. I am able to comfortably listen to my music and engage in conversations with everyone around me. I have even listened in on my daughters talking thinking I am not listening. If you are looking for the best earbuds on the market, look no further, I highly recommend you by yourself a pair and another so your kids or husband won't take them away.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful Noise"less' Package I have owned the over the ear 1000XM3 for little more than a year. From the time these came on the market, I have been looking to get my hands on them. The main reason wanting to try these was to get the benefit of small size compared to the over the ear ones, during the short/one-day air travels and long calls. These headphones score very highly in my books on both this count. With the different ear bud size options, providing help with a snug fit, the QN1e experience takes the victory lap. I find the ANC nearly as good as the over the ear; though not 100%. For a business traveler, it meets the cut and then more. the experience where it scores over the over the ears, is the ease during phone calls. The battery life is a big plus on its own, but with the 3 additional charges on the case, it provides great ubiquity on the go. The adaptive sound, the Sony app with equalizers and ambient modes, carry over features from the over the ear, make it a great package. It marries the industry leading QN1e noise cancelling with the best in class features of the previous offering makes this a must have for travelers and ANC aficionados. Overall a great buy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Good Earbuds Design: The battery case is satisfactory. LEDs indicate charging status and the materials that construct the case are pleasant to handle. However, it can be difficult to fit the earbuds case in smaller pockets due to the size. Setup: The earbuds have you download the app for setup and configuration. The setup process was quick; only requiring a few taps. Comfort: The earbuds come with a variety of tip options including silicone & silicone/foam hybrids across several sizes; I find the hybrid option to be best. The weight of the earbuds is not an issue unless I wear them for many hours consecutively, and even then discomfort is minimal. Features: The active noise cancellation (ANC) performs well for earbuds, especially while traveling. The iOS app allows you to configure the ANC based off the situation you are using them for (Adaptive Sound Control) however I ended up turning this off as I found it to auto-adjust at inappropriate times. The app sometimes states earbuds are not paired, despite my phone being connected with sound outputting to the earbuds. Otherwise, the app has a wide range of features and is easy to navigate.? The earbuds have touch controls which I found frustrating. While the ability to have touch controls is useful, the earbuds are small which makes inadvertent touches common, so I disabled this feature. Battery life: I didn’t test them long enough to see the total play time, but I found that after several hours they remained >50% charged. When I was ready to take a break, I would pop them back into the case and they would actively recharge until I was ready to use them again. Sound quality: These do a great job of making music sound crisp & clear. My only complaint is that for bass-heavy music, the bass levels are not as loud as I’d like even with the EQ adjusted. However, every other instance sounds great. Phone calls also sounded clear however I have been told that I was not being heard well by the other party occasionally. Final thoughts: The WF-1000XM3s are a great set of earbuds have many features I want in an audio product. The sound quality is great, the app has a variety of features & the battery life is phenomenal. My only complaints are: app glitches (fixed with future updates?), a lack of any water resistance (not great for working out), the finicky touch controls, and the mic sometimes causes others to not hear me well. Overall a very good set of earbuds that I expect to get better with future software updates.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One Great Set of Ear Buds So I have always had a different Brand if EarBuds. A Brand that I could not only recharge the buds but it had a USB in the charging pod the be able to charge my phone. The ear buds were way smaller to the point of almost unnoticeable so when I purchased these Sony Ear Buds I was skeptical to how bulky they are. With the different size ear inserts that come with them for different size ear canals you can barely tell you have them in your ear. They are comfortable and the size of them are not bulky at all. The noise cancelling is amazing. I used these to mow my lawn to test out what level of noise cancelling they have. I actually could only tell my mower was running by the vibration in the handle. Pretty good if you ask me! As far as making phone calls, I have some mixed reviews. Some people have said I am hard to hear when I use them but some have no problem hearing me at all. So I don't know if it's a setting issue in the app on my end or if it's an issue with the person on the other end. So Bluetooth connection I great. I usually put my phone in my pocket listening to my preferred music streaming app and with my old buds I would always loose connection. Well not with these things. They are flawless. I have been 39 feet away from my phone and still no connection loss. I definitely would buy these again and I would definitely recommend to anyone. They are "One Great Set of Ear Buds"

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sound! So far I'm pretty impressed with the 1000XM3 earbuds by Sony. I didn't expect the noise canceling to be as good as it is. I have had many different brands that claimed to be noise canceling but I could still hear background noises. I have ADHD really bad and in order to focus I have to get rid of all outside noise. I do have a small issue keeping them in my ears even with the smallest earbud pads. I like that all of the controls are done by touch, except if I'm doing an adjustment of the earbud in my ear I may accidentally skip a song, pause or something. The only thing I don't care for is the size of the case. It's bulking and doesn't fit in my pants pocket real well. Other than that I really like the earbuds and will continue to use them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A true wireless noise-canceling earbuds I’ve had these headphones for about a month now and I can say they are one of best headphones I own. I always wanted some wireless noise-canceling earbuds and nothing came close until the Sony WF-1000XM3. The set-up process is little complex and needs a little work. With Bluetooth and the app, is supposes to assist with the connection process and ability to provide a stable connection. The sound quality is awesome. The app provides an opportunity for you rotate through all kinds of different genres, from pop, R&R, to rap. Combine with noise cancelling feature, it provides an excellent out of the box experience. The design of Sony WF-1000XM3 is nice and with all the custom ear tips, you can get a perfect fit for your ear. I use different size for each ear to get a tight fit. With the good fit, it can cut out ambient sound effectively. The battery life is all day without active noise canceling and with noise canceling you will get about six hours. With the battery charging case, you can three addition charge for up to 32 hours of play time. If you every forgot to charge your battery, a quick 10-minute charge will give you up to 90 minutes of play time for a great workout. Overall, I love this headphone and truly will be by go to headphone. I would recommend Sony WF-1000XM3 to anyone. Only disclaimer, I did receive this headphone at a discounted rate for my review, however, the opinion express in this review is my own opinion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One and Only Noise Canceling Buds If you are looking for the perfect wireless earbuds that include every single feature from wireless charging, small, compact and portable, waterproof, all day battery, multiple audio coding formats, durable and stays in your ears then it has yet to arrive, but in the meanwhile the Sony WF-1000XM3's are the best of the bunch in my opinion and here is why: The only truly wireless earbuds with active noise canceling, yes they are not the Sony WH-1000XM3 but the Sony WF-1000XM3 offers a decent experience when it comes to blocking those outside noisy environments and you can adjust how much ambient noise you want to hear through the Sony Headphones app. The battery life has been very good so far with active noise canceling on, I would say I do get the rated 6 hours on one charge and I love how the earbuds tell you how much juice they have when you first put them on through an audible voice letting you know the percentage and when they are paired. Talking about charge, one downside is that there is no indicator on the charging case that tells you how much charge there is left on the charging case, there is only a red light indicator when you plug it in to charge through USB-C cable and did I say USB-C, finally an industry must when it comes to cables not some propietary Lightning or yesterday's micro USB connections. The form factor of the earbuds is not bad, they tend to stay in my ears with the right sized earbud tips that are included with so many options and different materials to choose from also, they do sometimes feel like they are coming loose after a while, but they have yet to completely pop out of my ears. One thing that is not clear is if they are water resistant, by the looks of the Sony marketing material these are suited for your casual business or just walking outdoors type individual, so do not take them out in the rain and be weary if you sweat a lot during workouts. I think it is time to wrap up this review with the most important aspect of any headphone, the sound. The Sony WF-1000XM3 sound is balanced, the highs, mids and bass are all excellent and you can tweak the equalizer settings using the Sony Headphones app. I like to listen to my music at loud volumes which probably is not the best for your ear health, and one thing I noticed is that these wireless earbuds are not very loud even at the highest setting. So, if you are looking for one of the better premium options of truly wireless earbuds these Sony WF-1000XM3 deserve a buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pure Noise Cancel. Awesome Sound Qualiyu These Sony earbuds are amazingly awesome. They have a great sound which makes your music listening very immersive. The earbuds plug in your ear and hold themselves pretty steady. Things I Like 1. Pure Noise Cancel 2. Great Bass 3. Bluetooth and NFC connectivity for pairing 4. Google Assistant option 5. Charging case comes with 18hrs of battery with noise cancel on. Which means you can charge your headphones 3 times through the case 6. Design 7. Call quality 8. Light indicators for both earbuds, hence easy to spot if they fall Things i did not like 1. earbuds plug in your ear without any support. after sometime the earbuds start getting loose and may fall if you sweat. 2. no wireless charging for the case 3. charging case too big and bulky compared to other brands 4. sometimes its difficult to use only one ear bud at a time. 5. Did not work with my laptop since it created 2 profiles for the earbud one was stereo and other was just for call. it was werid set up 6. Need more color options. These are good earbuds for gym. Not sure for running since it can fall. It comes with extra buds for different ear size. I would definitely recommend these earbuds to my friends and family.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony Knows Sound In this particular moment in time mobile phone companies have deemed the headphone jack to be an unnecessary feature. So naturally the current electronics landscape is full of options. I received a pair of Sony’s latest true wireless earphones the WF-1000XM3 at a discount for my honest evaluation. Packaging Once you open the box you are greeted by a card which gives you pairing instructions in three simple steps. I had no issues pairing the earphones with both android and iOS devices. You are given 6 additional sets of earphone tips so finding the proper size for you is simple this helps you to get a proper seal that helps to b lock some of the ambient noise around you. The inclusion of USB-C at least for me is much appreciated thus cutting down on my need to carry multiple charging cables. The Design With the included sets of eartips I was able to easily find the right tips to get a perfect seal. I did find the lack of an IP rating and wireless charging to be a strike a against what is thus far an excellent earphone. The price point in which Sony sells the WF-1000XM3 other competitors fit those features in. Battery Battery life for the earphones are excellent 8hrs without noise cancelling 6hrs with noise cancelling on . Having the case fully charged can give you over 24hrs worth of use which is plenty for me. In my use I found these estimates to be mostly accurate. Noise Cancelling I did manage to use the noise cancelling in a couple different circumstances and must say that it managed to drown out background noise effectively. Bluetooth Now with other first generation bluetooth earphones I have owned in the past from other manufactures were prone to constant disconnects. I must say I have not experienced this at all with the WF-1000XM3. Sound Quality Music The Sony WF-1000XM3 does an excellent job of reproducing music through the different music streaming services that I use. The earphones offer an engaging and refined sound that allows me to listen to music for extended times when I am out and about. The Sony connect offers a few different equalizer settings allowing anyone to tailor the sound more to there liking. Sound Quality Calls When it comes to speaking to someone during a call using the earphones the quality is just ok. The other party has trouble making out what I am saying at times if there is a lot of background noise around me such as by a train station or bus station. With the exception of the lack of IP rating and wireless charging the Sony WF-1000XM3 is easy to recommend but Sony should offer these in the next generation if they want to keep up with their competition.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A must have This head-phone looks a bit big in pictures, but it doesn't feel that way at all when wearing it. In the beginning it's a bit tricky to figure out the noise-canceling, you need to ensure that you are using the right earpiece to prevent gaps from allowing noise to enter your ears. Other than that it's just great, high-quality, long lasting battery and very easy to setup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sounding earbuds with Noise Cancelling I am very impressed with sound quality from Sony WF-1000XM3 wireless earbuds. I have tried several different wireless earbuds with different brands, and I can comfortably say this has the best sound quality with wide margin. Does this replace my big over-the-ear headphones for sound quality? No, but it comes very close in terms of clarity and sound separation. Noise cancelling (NC) is the other area WF-1000XM3 shines as no other earbuds implement true NC. It's very convientn that I can preset NC level based on my activity. i.e., when I sit down, it maximizes NC. And as it detects more motion, it provides more ambient sound. Good thing these can be easily configured in the phone. Major down side of WF-1000XM3 is bluetooth connectivity issue with my Galaxy Note 9 phone. (I cannot speak for other phones, but my phone has no problem with other devices) I get connection drop several times a day; it is more pronounced when it doesn't play anything. Sometimes it is disconnected, and cannot be re-connected. When it happens, I have to put both buds in the charging case, and force restart (long press left, then right) Hope this can be fixed via FW update near future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Product with Caveats Let me start by saying that I was very excited to receive the Sony WF-1000XM3 earbuds and try them out. When un-boxing, the case appeared to be of high quality and the earbuds came with both silicone and high quality foam tips of various sizes for me to select which tips worked best for me. I started with the silicone tips that were equipped on the earbuds and found them to be a little small. I swapped them out for the largest of the foam tips and could not get a seal that seemed adequate to me. I switched to the largest of the silicone tips and that made a world of difference. Having the correct size tips is critical for the noise cancelling ability. When I first tested the noise cancelling capability I was a bit underwhelmed. I was in a fairly noisy environment and could still hear sounds bleeding through. When switching to a pair of normal earbuds, I could then tell that the difference was very noticeable. I could not believe how much noise the earbuds were actually filtering out, but they worked great in most situations with an average amount of ambient noise. One of the issues I ran into was with the control features on the earbuds themselves. Each earbud has a very sensitive touchpad that you can customize to control your music, google assistant, or switch between noise cancelling/ambient noise/turning off ambient sound control. The touch pad was very sensitive and I found myself hitting the button when inserting or adjusting the earbuds. I also ran into situations where I was attempting to control the playback or noise cancelling ability, the earbud would beep acknowledging that I touched it, but then it would not react. When changing the ambient sound control, I might have to double or triple tap in order for it to respond as I intended. Another complaint I had is random cutting out when connected to my laptop. The sound would cut out and then continue indicating that the connection was faulty rather than an issue with the video/song. My last complaint came in the form of static. I listen to some fairly low volume stations on my entertainment applications which require me to turn the volume up to its maximum settings. When doing this, I would hear static in the background and the letter s sounded scratchy when sung. Switching to a pair of corded headphones, this distortion went away.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Game Changer I've been in the market for a pair of truly wireless earbuds for a while now, so I immediately jumped at the opportunity to try these new earbuds from Sony. Sony is a long time industry leader audio industry so I had high expectations for these, and they did not disappoint. The earbuds come in a nice premium package which includes the earbuds, charging case, USB-C cable, and a variety of ear tips. They feel comfortable and secure in the ear canal and I haven't once been worried about them falling out. The battery case is a little on the large size, but can still be pocketed. The earbuds satisfyingly snap into the case and are held in securely with strong magnets. The case is NFC enabled, so pairing them to my device was as simple as touching the case to my phone. These earbuds to an excellent job with noise cancellation so I feel immersed in my music even in noisy areas. The Sony Headphones app has a setting to dynamically adjust the amount of noise canceling applied based on the type of environment you are in. If it detects you are in a quiet environment it scales back the noise canceling to allow more ambient sound through. If you prefer to adjust it manually, or just leave the noise canceling on at all times that is an option as well. The equalizer settings in the app can be tweaked and adjusted freely to your liking, and you can have a much or as little bass as you want. They also support quick access to the Google Assistant on Android phones, which was a pleasant surprise for me since I use the assistant regularly. The battery life on these is amazing. They will last for around 6 hours on a full charge, and if you should get low on power the storage case will charge them for up to another 18 hours. These should easily last you all day without having to worry about needing an outlet. I would definitely recommend these truly wireless earbuds to anyone who's looking for a quality earbud with long battery life and the freedom of life without wires, but please be aware that they are not water resistant if that is a factor for you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Yes, almost perfect... To put my review into perspective, I own another bluetooth true wireless (to compare to true wireless, from here referred to as BTW) as well as a Sony WH-1000XM2 (to compare to noise cancelling). Comparing these Sonys to the BTW. 1) Battery life. The Sonys are FAR superior to the BTW. I have yet to run into battery issues with the Sonys. They are awesome! The BTW's main weak point is the battery life. They stink. Power runs down as they sit in the case. In 3 days, they are dead. 2) Sound quality. This is more subjective. If I could sum it up simply, Sonys are really precise, analytical, and dare I say, without too much character. Yes, the sound is good, but it isn't warm... perhaps a tad bright. BTWs are wonderful... I didn't think I was a fan of the brand's sound profile, but I guess I am. 3) Fit and comfort. I have Comply tips on the BTWs, and using the included foam tips on Sonys. I have fit issues with the Sonys. I feel that they don't go deep enough, so getting a proper seal to get proper bass is hard. It takes a lot of fiddling. Once in, they are comfortable. BTW are great, but they do hurt my ear pinnas after a while. 4) Noise cancelling. Now I am comparing these Sonys to the Sony XM2. I haven't found that the nose cancelling in these Sonys to be that impressive. Maybe it is related to the fit I just mentioned. Overall impressions. I really like these. Solid feeling case and magnetic capture of the earphones are simply wonderful. The BTW case has a wobbly lid. That said, there are some things I wish these had. I wish the case had wireless charging. I wish I could change the volume using touch. If anyone has suggestions on a compatible Complys, I would love to hear (no pun intended) them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Earbuds I Have EVER Used I have never used headphones of this quality (or price) before, but I can see why people spend this kind of money on these headphones. They are amazing! Immediately from opening the box they synced with my Google Pixel 3aXL seamlessly. I use Google Assistant for everything and it was able to sync with it so easily, I didn’t believe it could be that fast and easy. I love that they turn on when you remove them from the case and they automatically sync to the last item they were connected to (for me it is connected to my phone, but they can be connected to anything with Bluetooth). Aesthetically they look really sleek and the black and gold accents complement it perfectly. The case is sturdy and has a Type C charging port. The magnet is strong and the buds won’t fall out of the case, it also helps them click into place to charge. They are very lightweight. It took me forever to drain the battery and charged fully within 4 hours. I love that whenever the buds are in the case they are charging. When you take it out it immediately tells you if it is connected and what the battery is for each bud. The app is nice and easy to use, I changed the button sensor functions so now my right bud is my google assistant and my left bud is music control. It is defaulted to noise cancelling/ ambient transition. I like to keep mine on ambient though and prefer to change it in the app. The google assistant functions are great, you hold down to talk and you double tap to get updates on time and notifications. The quality of the sound is amazing and I can’t wait to try these out on my next flight for the noise cancelling function, I did use it on the metro and it did an amazing job of blocking out the noise. I wish the ambient mode was a little better though, as my husband would be talking to me loudly, with ambient mode on, but I couldn’t hear a thing, so I don’t feel it is as effective as I would like. I really like the feature that if you pull one out it will pause your music. I was worried about them falling out but they stay put very well and are comfortable to wear for several hours at a time. They came with several ear bud sizes which makes it easy to get the perfect fit for you. I like that you have the option of only using one if you want to keep one ear free. The mic quality while I’m on the phone is good, but I was told it was still better quality when I held the phone to my face. Overall, I am extremely happy with these earbuds and would recommend them to anyone who prefers wireless and values excellent sound quality and is willing to pay for it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Music like it's meant to he heard! Sony's WF-1000XM3 Noise Canceling wireless earbuds cannot be overlooked. They check all the boxes for a pair of quality wireless earbuds, plus extra features that can’t be found in this price range. At first glance, these earbuds may seem large in size. But the fact is, Sony packed the best audio technology on the market into a small form factor. Nowhere else in this price range will you find noise-canceling features in an earbud, along with a high capacity battery, and Sony’s signature sound. There’s really nifty engineering that went into every aspect of these earbuds. Including: -High-quality audio codec (It’s not ANT+, but it’s something better) -Dedicated noise-canceling chip (rivals some of the best on the market) -High friction rubber pads that hold the earbuds in place. (No need for annoying or painful rubber wingtips to stabilize the earbud.) I use these headphones for commuting and find that I don’t really need to charge these but once every two weeks. The case holds more than enough charges to get you through a workweek or a long flight. And noise from fellow passengers is easily drowned out. However, if you want to hear some ambient noise, you can control the about of noise let in through the accompanying app. My favorite feature of these earbuds is the customizable sound. Unlike other wireless earbuds on the market, Sony lets you customize the sound with a 5-band equalizer and an extra bass setting (“Clear Bass”) through the accompanying app. At first, I didn’t think the sound quality was much to write home about. But after switching back to my old headphones, the Sony earbuds are absolutely phenomenal. There’s a clear (not boomy) bass. A very wide sound stage. Dynamic tones. And clarity in the midrange. You can clearly hear the more subtle instruments within a song. All without sounding artificial. Bottom line, the Sony WF-1000XM3 are the wireless earbuds to beat in this category. The only earphones better than these will cost you 5 times as much. These Sony earbuds hit the mark on price and quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Probably the Best Earbuds You Can Buy These earbuds exceeded my expectations in design, function, and extra features. I knew coming from Sony they would undoubtedly have great sound, but I was skeptical as to just how good the Active Noise Cancelling could be. I knew they had customizable touch control, but I didn’t know just how useful that would be and have been blown away by the Google Assistant integration. First, lets talk sound. These Sony Earbuds are everything you’d expect in higher end earbuds and more. The Sound quality is excellent right out of the box. Whether listening to audiobooks or music or watching a movie, you get the high quality sound you would expect from Sony. But they didn’t stop there – Sony gives you an app that allows you to fine tune the sound to your own personal taste including a 5 Point Equalizer with several presets and several custom memory slots as well as a separate Clear Bass optimizer. I was super excited about these earbuds because I’m not a huge fan of over ear headphones – I wore them on flights because I wanted the ANC, but the thought of accomplishing the same thing with just earbuds was a great proposition. And Sony did not disappoint. These little buds do an amazing job of cancelling out ambient noise. If the Bose over-the-ear cancel out about 95% of the sound, I would say these earbuds cancel out about 85% of the sound, which is an amazing accomplishment for something so tiny. And again, Sony doesn’t just give you and on/off switch for ANC – they built in a lot of functionality so that you can have full ANC or you can adjust it to allow more or less ambient noise to pass through depending on your situation. There is also a tap and hold function that will turn it off as long as your pressing on the left earbud so you can talk to someone (it also pauses whatever your listening to or watching) and then once you let go your media starts playing again and ANC turns back on – brilliant! Having Google Assistant build into these buds is great! You can give any voice command you want Google to handle which of course is anything from making a call or sending a text to opening an app or skipping tracks. Sony really though through everything with these earbuds. They didn’t just put out some of the best sounding earbuds with the most amazing active noise cancellation you could imagine in such a small package – they though through all the little things to give you every feature you could possibly want in wireless earbuds. Way to go Sony!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great all around ear buds These earbuds are one of the better if not the best sets I've owned. The packaging is very nice, and the case had a premium feel. The size of the case is slightly larger than most but not overly. Battery life is amazing and reserved top up you get from your case is sufficient to get me through a few days of listening with moderate use ( 20-30 min here and there to and fro to work). Sound quality is amazing, but you kind of expect that from Sony. Noise cancelling is awesome and I like that it has a auto detect feature. The only earbuds I currently use and I have them paired with 2 devices right now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound The Sony WF-1000XM3 Industry Leading Noise Canceling Truly Wireless Earbuds offer amazing sound quality in a cool, rose gold package. The earbuds sound quality was well beyond my expectations although adjusting the sound volume is a little challenging as it cannot adjust via the earbuds. I am still getting comfortable with the functionality and exploring what works best for me. I used these on a cross country flight which was a blessing as there was a screaming toddler sitting directly in front of me. The noise cancellation feature is one of the best I have ever experienced and the loud volume worked well so I found I was able to fall asleep and stay asleep on the flight. The adaptive sound was phenomenal and completely awesome. The set-up of the earbuds was pretty straightforward although it took me a couple of minutes to understand the emoji instruction sheet (lol) however I had everything fully functioning within 5 minutes. I liked the automated set-up functions which made it super simple to complete. The earbuds came with multiple size ear pieces which was helpful to ensure a proper fit. The charging case charges easily and fits nicely in my bag pocket. The battery lasts longer than other comparable products which is a plus. A couple of suggestions would be to add a place for a cord to attach to a belt loop or bag as well as wireless charging options. Overall, I am very happy with the Sony WF-1000XM3 Industry Leading Noise Canceling Truly Wireless Earbuds!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best noise cancelling buds out there I love, love and looooove these earphones!! If you compare this masterpiece of engineering to any other noise cancelling buds, everything else pales in comparison. I can assure you that the noice cancelling on these buds is stunning in conjunction with the passive sound isolation they provide. When I put these on for the first time, I was shocked how much noise they're able to cancel. After that, I downloaded the app and noticed that noice cancelling wasn't even turned on! My head got turned upside-down when the revamped noice cancelling actually kicked in. Really, really amazing. Also worth mentioning are the Ambient Sound modes which, in my point of view, got even better. The sound quality is top-notch and they fit well into my ear canals. The life span is astonishing and the case feels and looks even good albeit quite large compared to some other brands. Sony has played their cards right this time. I'm sure that these are going to sell like freshly baked breads in a local market. And no, Sony didn't pay me to write this review as there are two downsides I'd like to mention: I'm quite sure that you heard about the absence of liquid resistance. It's not a big deal for me, but alas, for gym fellas, you should go off and buy something else. Also there is no way of controlling the volume? Even in the app there is no remapping in regards of volume control for some reason. By all means: why? But oh well. In conclusion, if you are considering carrying a pocket-size, well thought-out, and meticulous pair of earphones, then go for it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from *this* close So I had been looking for a pair of earbuds to use instead of my over-the-ear headphones that I use majority of the time. These Sony earbuds paired immediately with my phone since I already have a pair of Sony earphones already paired there was no problem the problem that I seem to have was the lost connection of one earbud from time to time. Sound quality it's pretty good there are times that there is leakage or so I've Been Told but overall I'm happy with my purchase..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Truly Amazing Earbuds The Sony WF-100XM3 Industry Leading Noise Canceling Truly Wireless Earbuds are amazing. I love that it came with different sized buds to give perfect and wonderful fit. It was super helpful that it comes with a charging case that way your buds are always charged. The ear buds are lightweight and fits perfectly in everyday life. From listening to music exercising and doing house chores. The sound quality was perfect and too of the line quality . It truly canceled the outside noise of me living in NYC and using them daily to and from work. It’s super helpful that the earbuds came pre charged which is perfect you can immediately use them. I highly recommend this earbud. I’m buying my husband his own pair for Christmas.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good but not quite there When you open the box you are presented with a very nice display and the case and headphones are very sleek looking with a matte finish. The headphones definitely look a little more modern and stylish than other true wireless headphones. They give you plenty of extra earbuds made of silicone and foam in different sizes which is great since not everyone has the same size ears. Calls are great and people can hear me clearly and I can hear them clearly as well. Music sounds really good. Good-Noise cancelling is great, comfortable fit, very sleek, audio quality and clarity is great. Not so great-not waterproof so not good for the gym, the fit is good but it can fall out pretty easily with too much motion, wind causes sound in the headphones because of the mic, the app could be better. While these headphones aren't perfect I would say they are still the best on the market. True wireless tech is slowly improving and getting better but it I don't think anyone has made it perfect yet. But if you want a true wireless pair of headphones with ANC and great sound quality I would say this is your best option.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Earphones These earphones are super-comfortable in my ears, and have an excellent sound quality. Installing the Sony Connect app was painless and enabled me to customize the adaptive sound control; enable headphones to pause when I take out a headphone (Super convenient!) The initial process to connect the headset to my phone was easy, though when I wanted to pair them to my laptop a few weeks later, I had a bit of trouble. The directions are not self-explanatory; and the directions in the help section online simply told me to, “ Pair them” but without the technical instructions. I dug deeper in the help guide, and under “Pairing Cannot Be Done” found the following: “When you pair a second or subsequent device, put the headset in both ears, then hold your fingers to the touch sensors on both the left and right units for about 7 seconds to enter pairing mode.” Voila! Success. Though I would find the recharging case to be too large for pockets, I find it very convenient to carry and find in my purse. The recharging case is remarkable, by the way. When I know I’m going into a meeting, I put them in the case, and I’ve almost never run out of battery. The sound quality is excellent, and the noise-cancelling is top-notch, and a feature you don’t often find on truly wireless headsets. I have enjoyed both music (perfect for both classical and rock; and my ebooks and podcasts are crystal clear.) I do find that sometimes the activity detector will get confused, and it will spontaneously change to ambient or pass-through mode. But I think it is still a very useful feature, to have the headphones automatically change its levels when it deems necessary. The choice of eartips is nice, but almost overwhelming.. though I’d rather have the variety than not have them fit! Do try a few to find your most comfortable situation. Overall, I am super-happy with these headphones, and anticipate them working for me for years!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sexy Buds After having the excellent first model WF1000X, I can personally say these are a great improvement. Sony has an experience with noise cancelling audio that’s unrivaled to competitors in the true wireless earbuds market. In the sexy recharging case, you can listen to your earbuds up to 24 hours. I usually take my wife out to do her errands and when she’s in shopping, I just pop these bad boys into my ear and let the space around zone out just listening to some tunes due to the powerful noise cancelling. These also fit a little snugger than the first iteration, and doesn’t protrude as much. Now you are able to go to a gym with these on, they can take some sweat and light rain, but these headphones are definitely NOT waterproof. Also with the quick charging from the case, you can place these into the case for 15 minutes and get 90 minutes of use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best for all activities To start, I would give these buds a 9/10. The only flaw I have is how easy it is to connect to Bluetooth and the option of being connected to many devices. Other than that issue, the Sony buds are perfect. I use these while I’m walking to class. Adaptive noice canceling is perfect. I wear these while at the gym. The different selection of buds has made it easy for me because while I work out, I tend to get sweaty ears and if I used the same size buds, it would fall out. But luckily, they give you a wide selection of buds to use and I just go bigger in size and the stay on like white on rice. Quality of sounds is amazing and I don’t see there being a comparison from other brands out there. 9/10 and I would buy again and refer to people.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't let the small size fool you Man, these headphones are amazing. I do not claim to be an audiophile or an expert in sound engineering. The features and sound that these little headphones come with is crazy good. I work in a very noisy office that is filled with office chatter and white noise. Once I insert my earbuds, it all goes away and I can enjoy my podcast/music without any distractions. The noise cancelling is so good that people have to tap me on the shoulder or I won’t be able to hear them. And once the buds come off office, it’s crazy to hear how much sound gets isolated from entering your eyes. The battery life for headphones of this size is exception. On one charge and a lunch break, I was able to get a full work of audio. I prefer to get phone calls on my phone but the head buds do just fine. The google assistant feature added a whole new look on what modern headphones should do. I do enjoy being able to receive text and being able to listen to the text without having to reach for my phone. Over the last month I have been very impressed with these small buds that pack a nice punch with all the added feature and the very excellent sounds. I would recommend these to anyone who prefers a more minimalist headphones that can compete with over the ear headphones. Oh I forgot to mention these headphones are very comfortable after extended use but I have average sized eye canals so your experience may vary.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Call quality poor, audio quality superb I bought this prodcut 2 months back, though I'm really happy with the sound quality but I'm having a huge problem with the call quality. As opposed to to the advertisements, its virtually impossible for me to talk on these earbuds while connected on the phone. Multiple people have complained it to me to take them out. Initially I thought it might be a sony bug and earbuds aren't upto that level but recently one of the friends who is also using the same product pointed out the anomaly since he isn't experiencing any such problems. If you do buy it from BestBuy take that 2 year warranty since it gurantees replacement (else its an unreliable product)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Good Sound for the Money The sound quality of these headphones is excellent. Like many other Bluetooth devices however, they are quirky when you have them paired to different devices and I have had some minor connection issues with iPod and Surface. The connection fixes are quick, just inconvenient. When connected, music, video, movie and other sound is full and rich. I had tried other Bluetooth headphones and like the sound quality of Sony the best. They also fit my ears better than other headphones (earbuds). I have worn them for several hours while flying with no discomfort.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great audio, but Frequent dropouts I love the audio quality of the WF-1000XM3 headphones. I do however have a few complaints / suggestions 1. I loose connection in one or the other headphone from time to time and have to put them both in the case to reset them so they both play audio again. It's bothersome that they don't stay connected to my phone when I'm listening to audio. 2. Call quality on my end sounds distorted and has a weird electronic glitch sound to it. 3. Is there a way to answer calls and end calls by pushing the button on the headset? It would be super continent if this feature was included. would help with every day use. Are these something that can be fixed with software updates?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost Perfect As a daily user of the WH-1000xM3, it was a no brainer for me to purchase these buds to use in situations where over-ear headphones aren't ideal. After using these for some time I can easily say that they offer great sound quality paired with great noise cancelling for buds and the many features we have come to love from the sony headphone connect app. I found these buds very easy to pair using the NFC that is located on the charging case and they continue to pair with my phone quickly and often before I'm even finished adjusting the buds in my ears. While comfort can be a very personal thing and varies for everyone, I find these to sit well in my ears for long periods and have a good seal which is extremely important for the noise cancelling to be effective. Sound is great, though I would have liked to have seen AptX and Sony's own LDAC connectivity like the WH-1000xM3 and many of Sony's other offerings. Going in the headphone connect app we are able to fine tune the EQ settings or choose from different presets. Moving on to the controls. Similar to their over-ear brothers the WF-1000xM3 uses touch controls which are the reason for these not being perfect. They work MOST of the time, but can be slightly oversensitive and just not work at all. There have been two problems I have personally run into thus far. The first being every once in awhile the right earbud will not work. I know the bud is registering my tap since I get a sound queue but nothing happens on my phone (Note 8). My second problem, similarly, happens on the left bud when cycling through the different microphone sound modes. If you tap once sometimes more than one tap will register or a tap will be registered and nothing will happen. This seems more like a software issue than hardware so hopefully, an update will be pushed out for this if it is a widespread issue. NOTE: These issues above can be resolved by placing the buds in the case and taking them back out again. As far as noise cancelation goes I have been pretty impressed with the performance. I wouldn't go as far to say they do a better job than the WH-1000 or even as good of a job but that was not expected. I would say they are a slight step down, which in my opinion is positive and quite impressive for such a small device when compared to a headset known to be one of the best at noise cancellation. Similar the WH-1000 holding your finger on the left bud will pipe in noise from your surroundings and lower the volume of the music. This works well and is a nice feature to have even if you might not use it all that much. Other than that there haven't been any serious issues so far and I thoroughly enjoy using these earbuds. Hopefully in the future Sony can include these few things. AptX/LDAC Bluetooth connectivity, while this is not a dealbreaker it is also nice to have especially when marketed as premium earbuds. A waterproof rating would also be very nice to have so we don't have to worry about getting caught in the rain or sweating while wearing them. Lastly, a wireless charging case. This again is not a dealbreaker for most but would be a welcomed edition. Overall I would recommend these buds and enjoy using them for an assortment of different activities since they are very versatile. While they may not be perfect, it seems that my few issues could be resolved with a software update.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrible Design and Communications Failure These ear buds do not, and by their enclosed and web site instructions apparently were never intended to pair with (in my case MacBook Pro) laptops. Why? This limitation is not mentioned in ads, posters, packaging or reviews. Why? Laptop functionality is absolutely essential. By contrast my aging Trekz and LG buds pair just fine with my phones, laptops and iPad. Needless omissions like this has become a time consuming inconvenience forcing a return trip to the store for credit and/or exchange. Failure to perform as expected is perplexing, but failure to inform is unforgivable. Why SONY, why?

Like the housing/charging case, though the size can be smaller/slimmer for easily fitting to pockets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent noise-cancelling function! The noise-cancelling function was working perfectly well, everything was good about this but one point i would like to voice out was that the size of it is a little too big, i wish it is smaller and it can be snug into my ear perfectly at a smaller size.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for travel & coffee shop entertainment I got this mostly for noise cancelling and listening to entertainment while travelling, & for entertainment sitting in coffee shops while wife shops. It delivered ..... long lasting, took away the issues of wires, and provided noise cancelling in noisey environments ... my primary wants!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great battery life, good noise cancelling earphone I bought these set of babies last month, and have only been charging it for less than 5 times. Each charge can last for a week plus, and I totally love it. The charging case is not bulky at all. Plus the noise canceling properties is superb! I can't even feel the surrounding at all. The ambient sound properties work the best when I am crossing the road, making me more aware of my surrounding. Overall, a good buy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound. Great sound. I love the bass and the lows. The middles and the highs are just about perfect. I had no qualms about the sound quality. It’s just the connection which sometimes I think is not stable. It actually disconnects with my iphone from time to time and I find it hard to connect it back even if I already placed the headphones to its cradle/case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sound Quality I think this is an average quality product for the price you are paying for it. I love the sound quality and how effective the noise cancelling feature is but the one problem that is really ticking me off is how the bluetooth connection is not stable. I'd be listening to songs in the train and the music suddenly stops. The music is still playing but there's no sound. The music also stutters frequently which interrupts the experience of enjoying your music.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great noise cancellation. Great sound quality. Bought this more than a month ago and used it often. It has great sound and great noise cancellation. Best use in crowded places like bus, train or mcdonalds. However, i cannot find a good fit for my ear, although i've tried each and every tip for the ear. it does not stay in my ear no matter how i adjusted it and what tip i used. it will drop out of my ear after 15-20 minutes, even when i sit at a table without much movement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good but could be improved Overall a great pair of in-ear headphones, the sound is nice and crisp but is susceptible to wind noise. It would be great if the touch controls on the earphones could also be adjusted to include volume up/down, which would make it much better. I wish the charging case were of better quality, I bought the Beige/Grey-ish coloured one and the casing gets stained too easily. Due to the silicon exterior, it cannot be cleaned off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best in class sound quality with added NC Bought this almost 6 months ago and held off from reviewing until I have tested it for long run. All is well and good. However, it is not easy to get the best fit. The 'foam' tip provided is utter nonsense, bought a comply foam tip instead. However, hissing sound is very apparent especially at low volume whether NC is on or off. Without the hissing sound and a few drop-off of signal, would give this 5 stars. Overall if you are into sound, likes a little bass, don't want to pay for senheisser, this is the best and it comes with NC.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Feature but still need to be improved I bought this nearly one month ago. Generally very good size and sound quality is good. However the connectivity using its apps seems to have some problem. Sometimes when it is connected to phone but for limited function e.g. music not able to use, not able to make call and etc. Phone or its apps need to be restarted to enable its function. This problem never happen with other brand of headphones and this is the first time I face similar issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound/ Inconsistent Bluetooth performance I ordered this product online just before Aug 2019. The Industrial Design of the product is fantastic, and I felt it is one of the most 'handsome' true wireless ear buds out there. The construction and manufacturing of the storage case, and also the ear buds are fantastic too. Sound quality is great, good sound stage, bass and clarity in the separation of different types of sounds - but only if you have a good seal with the ear tips. This is dependent on different people as all our ears are different. Personally I am using Comply TrueGrip Pro tips. As for Bluetooth performance, it is a little on the hit and miss. The right ear piece has lost connectivity before out of the blue, and I needed to reset this a few times and not just merely putting it back into the case and taking out again. There are also cases where both the ear pieces lost connectivity suddenly. I have another Bluetooth receiver that I used to carry with me, that may be interrupted by places with dense wireless usage, but never like the Sony's situation. I don't know if firmware update will resolve this, but this is something you want to take note of. Other than that it is a good product. I will give the overall rating 5 stars only if its Bluetooth stability and performances are improved. I gave 3 stars for features and value because of its Bluetooth performance - and that if it carries on like that, the price will not fully justify the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overall good but can be improved I'm overall happy with the product, the design is great, the noice cancelling is one of the best and the sound quality is good for a true wireless earbuds. However, there are still room for improvement in the fitting of ears. I did try all the ear tips included but still can't find the best for me. Also, the tap for function buttons at each ear seems to be a little bit too sensitive, sometimes I accidentally touched with my arms around the sleeves area and it triggers the action to pause the music. Lastly, the adaptive sound control which changes the NC/ambient sound function is a little bit annoying when it comes to just walking and sit down on the bus and it automatically changes the sound, causes the music to be disrupted, quite annoying for me at least, maybe you can remove the sound notification when the profile is changed. Overall I still love the WF-1000XM3 and yes I would recommend to my friends.

Finally pulled the trigger as I wanted an ANC earbuds which sound great and easy to carry around. And I'm not disappointed. Great sound and very good ANC. Some not-so-good experiences would be the the earbuds sometimes do not turn on immediately and need to wait until the red led lights up before taking them out. Fitting the right sponge is also important. Overall, very happy with the product and would highly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound and bass, but let down by BT issues Have been using my pair for almost a month now everyday, I must say it is one of the best sounding earbuds ever. Before this I was using the Bose's, they were very good too. GF got this for me as my birthday gift, it was great. Sony really put in tons of effort into making these sound good, and the app was given the same treatment as well. I would say no other brands build a companion app as useful as Sony did. But, I have to say that Bluetooth limitations such as multi-connect is impossible, meaning I want to be able to connect to 2 devices at the same time like other brands offer; is impossible here. I am not sure if this is a hardware or software limitation. Sony has no solution for this. Next issue is the unreliable connectivity with Windows machine, on mobile it works SUPERB, but when connected to Windows Laptops, reliability is an issue. If Sony could at least solve the multi-device paining, I would give it full 5-stars and live with the occasional funny issues with Windows devices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Class above other true wireless in ears Used this for exactly a month and felt the product is tailored for everyone that wishes to block out the noise vehicles, MRT and airplanes make. I am reviewing this using Xperia XZ1. Sound quality is great with Sony house sound, a subtle V shape. DSEE HX will make it more V thus I always turn it off. Sennheiser MTW still wins in sound quality. Connections are stable with only a few millisec skips in heavily packed MRT (using sound quality mode). Calls to other party 8/10 are not clear but on the whole still usable. Much better than MTW. Ambient mode is great when crossing road and able to listen to music while aware of surrounding. No lag in watching any videos and playing games. Fit is the hardest part for me to get it right. With so many buds, there should be one that fits. Here is a tip for people with the buds not in the same mode like noise cancelling mode on left bud and ambient mode on the right bud. After connecting to both IEM to bluetooth device, play a sound, then hold the right earbud button to activate temporary ambient mode on both earbud. Wait till both bud can hear the ambient then let go of the button and both buds will be synced in same mode.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really wanted to love these, but connection... I've had these for about a week, and although they sound good, the bluetooth connection to my iPhone Xs Max is dismal. They sometimes don't connect, and even when they do, the mic doesn't work. When I receive a call, the other end can't hear me, so I fumble with my phone to re-connect, but by the time I do, the other end has hung up. They work fine if I force a connect when I start using them, but that's not how they're intended to work. I really didn't want to get AirPod Pros, but I'll be looking at them now. How unfortunate, I really wanted to love these...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Never Ending Flashing Blue Lights Given my two star rating you might think I don't like these earbuds but you would be incorrect. I'm talking, by the way, about my brand new, Silver, WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Earbuds. I love these earbuds, the features, the app, the works. Pairing was incredibly easy. The app required some fiddling around with to work properly. That said, the earbuds work great. I used the app to activate Noise Cancelling, Ambient Sound, Sound Quality Mode, and DSEE HX (don't fear it it's incredibly cool). Will not explain these features as reading and learning about them yourself is part of the experience. I did learn that you can't explore the app unless you've made a bluetooth connection between your device and the earbuds. Once connected access to all of the app features falls into place. So why only two stars? Well, each earbud is equipped with a flashing blue light that never goes away. Amazon Product Support said it cannot be disabled. I have not received an answer from Sony yet, and yes, I did contact them. At night in a dark bedroom my head looks like a sign for an all night chili joint - it's that bright. My wife is ready to strangle me; they flash bright blue all night. I can't imagine air travel with these, especially at night. Fellow passengers would be irate; you know how friendly people on planes are these days. I'm fairly tech savvy and completely understand the operation of these earbuds but can't disable these lights. In addition, I have now logged-in about 40 internet hours and still there seems to be no fix. Summary: these are probably the best truly wireless earbuds on the market. The sound (the Primary and Most Important feature) is excellent. I do, however, consider this never-ending flashing blue light annoyance to be a product performance issue. It genuinely causes product use limitations. I travel considerably but won't be able to use these earbuds on an airplane. I've already stopped using them in bed. So, I'm probably now forced to return a product I really like and enjoy; too bad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First class! I’ve got really small ears, so really struggle to get in ear headphones to fit me. Originally I bought some from a different well-known specialist manufacturer, thinking they’d be great, but the sound quality was rubbish! I went for these and wish I’d gone with them from the start! They look discreet, the sound quality is superb and the noise cancelling functionality is absolutely brilliant.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Headphones but..... Hit and miss with the adaptive modes. Has trouble connecting to the app. Otherwise a great sounding pair of headphones which when in noise cancelling make a massive difference. Tip: if ambient sound/noise cancelling is on and it’s windy turn it off and the wind noise will dissapear!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony - WF-1000XM3 These were my first wireless earbuds, and at first I was impressed by two things: the convenience of wireless and the sound quality of these earbuds - very impressive overall. HOWEVER, I could not find tips that were both comfortable and kept these somewhat large earbuds tightly in place. Maybe as a result of that, I found the sound cancelling element to be pretty inconsequential, especially when out on a walk or even in a coffee shop. (And when walking outdoors, you could hear even the slightest wind whistling). In fact, my old pair of wired Bose earbuds which fit more securely and more comfortably did as good or better than the Sony's in tamping down external noise. So in the end, I think the WF-1000XM3's are overpriced and thus I returned them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice product but improvements needed Overall happy. Potential improvements: 1. The app should save the last settings 2. The transparency mode should amplify the sound more. 3. More controls should be added simultaneously at each bud (e.g. for the left bud volume up/ down + noise cancelling. 3. During the phone call more sound should be forced in so the person using the buds sound more normal to himself when talking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love it. I just bought me the new wireless earbuds from Sony. Let me tell you , these gadgets are the bomb. They’re pricey but you get what you pay for. Excellent, love all features and improvements made to them. I also, own a set of earbuds wireless first generation and the difference is from night and day. This time Sony nailed it with sophistication. I would definitely recommend the new earbuds wireless. Thank you Sony.

The complete customizable EQ is incredible to have. Here are my gripes....Sony, please add volume controls in a firmware update. I also wish you would have given these earbuds an IPX rating but seeing that they are not water resistant, I can see why you didn’t.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent....most of the time. These earbuds are amazing in all areas, they are comfy to wear for long periods, the noise cancelling is great, I can have the telly on full volume and not hear it if using the earbuds BUT they suffer from regular drop outs, only a very short time, almost like when you moved the lead on an old 3.5mm wired headphones. They struggle to connect 5/10 times. I have re-installed the app 3 times in 2 weeks. I keep thinking an update will sort it out but have only had 1 since buying them and that hasn’t helped. I’m just debating whether to escalate to Sony for a refund. When they work they are great if you can deal with those slight frustrations.

The ease of use, the controls, the app and all features that come with it have made it my favourite purchase of bluetooth earphones to date.

Only thing I would say is to have the charging case be wireless for backwards charging on newer devices on phones. Would come in extremely convinient.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing product with compatibility issues in brand I bought these intending on using them around work and I assumed being a Sony product that it would be compatible with electronics of the same brand. I was completely let down that these $300 Sony earbuds have no issue connecting to devices and yet have software issues with their flagship device the PS4 Pro. This is not issues with missing parts or faulty tech but is simply a complete oversight on their part considering that it's simply programmed to not be compatible. This is completely unacceptable that these should work, and have everything to work together, yet I'm not allowed. Both products are able to get updated to work together and that's simply what I expect. I am spreading the word on Sony's compatibility anxiety and will not spread positive feedback until this issue has been addressed.

Just make sure of what is important to you before deciding to buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love Them I don't usually use ear bud earphones as they tend to fall out of my ears. These on the other hand seem to stay in without any issues. There are several different size buds to choose from but I find the medium ones they came fitted with work fine. The sound is great and they feel really comfy. I thought that the lack of volume control would be an issue but I have used them connected to both my phone and Sony media player without any problems at all. When connecting to your phone you do have more choice as to your sound settings with the Sony sound app that can be downloaded.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overall, they're kinda worth it Seems like the vast majority of people are more likely to focus on the negatives in a review, because people love to complain. Someone who is happy with the product won't feel like taking the time to write a review, because why would they? So to anyone researching reviews online, like I was, take everything with a grain of salt. I was looking for something wireless, portable and most importantly, with good noise isolation/cancellation. These headphones were more or less the only option. Everything else in this category came with compromises (for me) - like not being truly wireless, mediocre sound quality, bad or no sound isolation, bad designs or atrocious longevity (some of the Bo*e stuff). Pros: Noise isolation and cancellation - like normal earbuds, I would say they remove 30-40% of sounds just with proper fitting ear tips, and a further 40% with the ANC on, witch is more than I expected Sound quality Weight Looks (not the physical shape, more on that below) and build quality Features (although some things don't seem to work - like the DSEE HX or "Focus on voice" witch doesn't do anything with normal voices in your proximity, it may work however with louder stuff like announcements, haven't tested that yet) Battery life Cons: Design/shape - although they look good, the shape is just not working for me (and many others); they stick out too much and even while walking, it feels like they bounce up and down, problem reported by some reviewers as well. It seems like the stem(?) is too long or the rubber thing that sits on the bottom of the ear too bulky. I may be able to mitigate this by cutting the tube of the ear tips a bit, so it goes down further, although I was hoping things like these won't be necessary after paying over $200. That being said, they may fit like a glove for other people. *Note: I'm pretty sure Sony is aware of how bulky they came out, so they rarely (or never) use actual devices in their presentation photos, they're all edited in and sometimes 50% smaller than the actual thing... Price (I guess they can kinda justify asking this much, as these are 1 of only 2 truly wireless earbuds with real ANC) It would have been fantastic if they were a bit more modular, like other devices in this category, so you could really get the best fit - arguably one of the most important things. Other than that though, they're pretty nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sound Great. But get the simple things wrong. Positives: They sound really good. The noise cancelling is very effective. The case is well built and the magnet that snaps the earbuds is nice. Negatives: These are overengineered and poorly designed from a user experience. The touch sensitive controls were very finecky and I had a difficult time toggling between different sound modes and pausing. However, when the sensors graised my hoody or raincoat they would toggle instantly. My phone would randomly facetime people when I wore these. Maybe that's my phones fault, but I doubt it since I've never had this issue with any other pair of bluetooth headphones/earbuds. They would unpair randomly and sometimes not turn on. They constantly stuttured while I listened to music which totally threw me out of the ryhthm while listening to a song. The battery life was also very poor. It started at about 7-8 hours and dropped to about 2-3 hours after a months use. There is no volume toggle button on the earbuds. There are no buttons at all! I don't userstand the touch sensitive gimmick. It's just a less reliable button. I traded these in for the Jaybird Tarah Pro's so I could use a button again and not worry about inconsistent touch controls. They don't sound as good, but they never disconnect or facetime people. Don't buy these earbuds. They don't have all the kinks out yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nearly Perfect!! OK let me start out by saying are used to have the Sennheiser momentum true wireless earbuds. I had bought the original Sony 1000 ask but was not satisfied with the lack of noise canceling. I was hesitant when my Sennheiser’s began acting up to give the Sony is another shot. All I can say is I’m so glad I did! OK let me start out by saying are used to have the Sennheiser momentum true wireless earbuds. I had bought the original Sony 1000 X but was not satisfied with the lack of noise canceling. I was hesitant when my Sennheiser‘s began acting up to give the Sony is another shot. All I can say is I’m so glad I did!! This new generation of true wireless ear buds is nearly perfect. The sound is as good if not better than my old sennheiser‘s, the noise canceling has been greatly improved, battery life is outstanding, and overall these are just very complete package headphones. Let me first touch on sound quality. While I am not an audio nerd but I do listen to a fair amount of music in my commuting life and watch more than my fair share of movies on the airplane. The sound quality is crisp and clean and has a wide range that I’ve noticed. They sound as good if not better than my Sennheiser‘s did. I will hand Sennheiser the advantage in base out of the box, but that was soon fixed by just tweaking the EQ settings inside Sony is amazing app. Next the noise canceling is phenomenal. I was blown away with how much they cancel out. No they are not as good at canceling all external noise as an over ear headset would be, but I did not expect them to be nor do I care. I am a traveler and the size and comfort of ear buds has always been my priority. My old Sennheiser‘s did have a similar audio pass-through which to me I can tell very little difference when external noise is being pumped into the earbuds, however once you turn on noise canceling everything in the background seems to fade away. You will still hear noise with the noise canceling on but as soon as you start playing music or a movie even on a lower volume everything else fades away. Just last night I was testing and playing around with my new headphones and did not realize how loud the TV was until I took them out. I was watching my favorite show and could not hear a peep of any noise from the TV while the noise canceling was on. This is an incredible improvement over the first generation of 1000 X headphones. Be aware that a very secure fit is required to get the most out of the noise canceling, and it did take a decent amount of playing with the included your tips to find this, however now with the foam tips installed and various sizes I have a perfect seal which maximizes the noise canceling affects. I have not had a chance to really put battery life to the test, however from what I am saying what is advertised is turning to be true anything greater than four hours is plenty for me plus the case with so many extra charges Will make this battery last plenty long. Now while these are very fantastic and have blown me away, nothing is perfect and there are a few slight drawbacks, none of which will make me go to a different earbud. The first is the touch controls. Now before I get into this let me say that the actual ability of the touch controls and the way they respond to my finger works perfectly. What I wish is that there was a bit more in depth use of the touch controls. My old Sennheiser‘s I was able to play pause and change music, adjust the volume, access my phone assistant, change the pass-through audio settings, as well as pairing. With these Sony‘s, you have to pick one operation to assign to each earbud. This is not a dealbreaker, however I wish they had the ability to do more than just two things as well as adjust the volume on the headset. The second drawback seems to be the connectivity with the Sony app. I had no issues connecting the earbuds to my phone, but it seems that they lose connectivity to the app relatively easily. While it is usually as simple as a reconnection, it seems that sometimes the app cannot find the earbuds and needs to be restarted. I’m sure this is a simple software issue and will be fixed relatively easily, but it still exists and is slightly frustrating every now and then. Call quality is good but not great. Everyone can tell I’m using a headset but they can still hear me clearly so I guess this is kind of a wash but something to be aware of if you’re looking for an amazing call quality sounding headset. Overall these earbuds are a homerun and I am extremely happy with them. I would not change anything in the hardware, however it seems that some of the software can be updated and improved. The sound quality and noise canceling alone make them worth the purchase over any other earbud on the market. I have done a lot of searching before I decided on the Sennheiser’s and I’m so glad I made the switch to this new year bud from sun overall these earbuds are a homerun and I am extremely happy with them. I would not change anything in the hardware, however it seems that some of the software can be updated and improved. The sound quality and noise canceling alone make them worth the purchase over any other earbud on the market.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't stay in... I swapped out Bose wireless buds for these because of bluetooth issues common to many with left bud connectivity issues. That said, the Bose buds, albeit Frankensteinish, stayed in snugly all the time. I used them primarily while working out and they would never fall out. The idea of noise cancelling in buds was appealing. I also have the latest Sony over ear headphones which are awesome. My main issue is that these Sony buds do not stay in. I've worn a handful of buds and these are the worst fitting I've had. I don't want sony respond with the fitting instructions. It does not help. I believe I need bigger attachments. I have tried them all but they consistently loosen up at the most subtle of movements and several times in the first week of wearing, I've had to either constantly adjust them to stay in or I have caught them as they are falling out. For $230 bucks I can't afford to lose one in a toilet or in the yard while mowing. I did buy a Best Buy additional warranty but these will likely have to go back. I have normal sized ears and I believe it is just a poor design. I realize these don't have wings and there a few tip options that come with but it needs a larger size and that may help. Sony, if you have any suggestions please let me know but otherwise will return here shortly. Again, please don't send a link for fitting instructions. That is not going to fix the problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound I bought these to use with my Walkman NW55 and they haven't disappointed. Upgrading the firmware proved more of a problem than it should as the Bluetooth connection kept on dropping out during the download, but got there eventually. Sound is good, but noise cancelling could be better. Certainly not on a par with Sony's WH-1000XM3 which I also own- but as the latter are over ear that's to be expected. I did take the time to try all of the supplied tips and found out that my right ear is smaller than my left- so please bare in my mind that both of your ears might not be the same size. I would recommend these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sound Quality Great but Microphone Terrible The negatives: using for calls is awful. The person on the other ends either complains of muffled very low sound, or that they hear background noises but not my voice... Totally unusable as a Bluetooth headset for calls unless in a totally silent room and you talk very loud and clear... In comparison to Airpods or even Google Pixel buds you can whisper and the caller hears you. The other annoying is the very audible sound it makes when switching ambient sound modes. The positive: great sound quality, fairly comfortable.

Takes a little getting used to but I'm now a convert to wireless. Can't comment on the noise cancelling (I bought these to replace ageing but excellent wired Audio Technica earbuds) as I've not been able to do any long flights (the main reason for the purchase) due to the lock down and travel bans. If I had one criticism it is the ridiculously short USB-C cable. Not everyone can charge within 15cm of a USB port!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible tech I bought these buds last month, but kept them 'til my birthday last week. They are quite sophisticated and complex for a 63 yr old to set up, but its a bit like setting your mobile to talk to your car via Bluetooth. It was also a little tricky to download the update (2.3) to the app, but in the end, I've managed to set both my iPhone and iPad to control the buds. I also managed to change the settings to control volume from tapping the right bud. The left bud controls the noise cancelling function. The sound quality is excellent; I have used Bose full cup headphones for the past 20 yrs, and they are approaching that level. They also have 360 deg sound function, which sadly needs the Sony app to run, and isn't linked to iTunes or Apple Music. They're not cheap, but they're a really good quality item, and I'm pleased with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound. Really bad connections. Sound and noise canceling function is really great. I can’t go back to Apple’s ear phones for that part. But here is what I’m experiencing so far and why it’s 2 stars. I got this 4 weeks ago from Best Buy. 1. Device itself is really buggy. Sometimes I hear sound from only one side. From the beginning or it happens suddenly at the middle of songs. Sometimes it gets back in a few seconds but sometimes I need to put it back to the charger. 2. Bluetooth connection is also really buggy. Almost every time when I start using it, i have Bluetooth connection issues. Thus I have to put earbuds back to the charger and try it multiple times to get device connected to my phone/laptop. It’s really annoying. It happens over 50% of the time. 3. I think the touch panel on the ear buds still need improvements. When I switching from noise canceling mode to ambient, I tap left side but sometimes it doesn’t work and I have to wait a few seconds to retry of put it back to the charger. 4. I don’t know what to call this part but the rubber parts that get inside ears can be improved too... it came with two different types and 3-4 different sizes... one type had really strong bad chemical smells and none of them fit well. It hurts my ears so I needed to use the one from Beats. 5. It’s hard to report these issues. There is no option to select earphone device on Sony’s contact support page - I don’t know if my device is just broken or if this is what it’s supposed to be. I wanted to contact support first but it’s so hard that I gave up and decide to write a review. It’s great sounds so unfortunate that I can’t give good review. Couple of my friends were interested in getting this device but I didn’t recommend it due to the connection issues. If you are thinking about getting it, probably better to wait next version. This bugginess is really annoying but I still like the sounds so I’m keeping it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed! The ear buds look fantastic and the sound is great indoors but I principally bought them for walking to work and I've been disappointed with performance for that purpose. Firstly, the fit is less secure compared to the wired earphones I have and when walking it feels like they will pop out. Outdoors, the noise cancelation feature is also not as good as I was expecting having read the reviews. I've also experienced difficulties when using the call function with the caller complaining of interference and poor voice clarity. I took the earphones back to the shop to return them but they refused due to hygiene reasons. So I'm left regretting my choice as I could've opted for a cheaper alternative. Looks like I will restrict their use to indoors or when travelling.

I bought these at launch and they were great, sound quality, connectivity, audio quality in calls, etc. Now, they have consistent audio drops during music, podcasts, calls, you name it. The sound quality is very good, but that certainly will not cover up the embarrassing amount of audio dropouts. Would NOT recommend purchasing them until Sony pays attention to their products and gets this fixed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great concept and noise canceling, bad execution Sound: They sound great. As all Sony headphones do. That goes without saying. HOWEVER. You cannot use these headphones to run or walk on a windy day. Even with ambient sound off you can hear so much wind and it frowns out your music. Build quality: the design looks professional and the rose gold accents really help make the headphones look more premium Comfort and fit: Here is where I began to regret the purchase. Any activity other than stationary weight lifting or sitting down on the couch and the headphones will fall out. Forget trying to shoot around on a basketball court. (Without defenders) I know they aren’t made for rigorous activity but cmon at least let me jog a little bit. Or shoot around without having to panic and catch an earbud mid shot. Great idea. Just bad execution. Will return and get airpods

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High Quality Headphones I've been using these headphones for a couple of weeks. Although they may appear to look an awkward fit they do actually fit quite well and hold in place. Operating the touch controls on the outside of the earbuds works well once you've got used to them. Sound reproduction is also excellent although i found the setting with ambient noise on to be a little tinny. This could probably be improved by changing the equaliser settings but this seems like a lot of fuss every time. Battery life is very good which should be expected of a new product. What it is like after 6 months....who knows. I like the case design and feel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound. Horrible mic. Even terrible Bluetooth I have three main issues. I think the left earbud is bigger than the right one. Because the fit of the one on the right is snug and well placed. The one on the left just falls off if I tilt my head slightly. My friends complained my voice sounded like the "girl from exorcist". The mic really is bad. The Bluetooth is miserable. The connection keeps dropping on my iPhone. Also, I can't connect it to my Mac at all. That's weird. It's a real bummer coz these are a really great sounding earphones. Top marks for design.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features and sound but one big let down I got a pair of the WF-1000XM3's a couple of days ago and I have some things to say about them. The sound quality that you get right out of the box is phenomenal and that doesn't happen very often at least not for me. The features that they have are great. I love using them when I can and it amazes me the difference between letting the ambient sound in and turning noise cancelling on. The one thing that let me down big time about these was the noise cancelling. I had hopes/expectations and they just weren't met. I was expecting them to have the same degree of noise cancelling as the headphone variant the WH-1000XM3 but it wasn't even close. I understand that they are in ear headphones but its just was I was expecting it being the in ear headphone variant. In some environments is was fine but in others, it was just like a pair of normal non noise cancelling ear buds. A lot of normal ear buds that I've used that don't have noise cancelling, I found to be better at blocking out the noise than these. The ear tips that they came with did not fit my ears. They came with small, medium and large silicone and comply foam ear tips and none of them fit. I had to use a pair from another pair of ear buds that I had and that made it better but still not the best. It was also difficult to find the right fit for me. I had to fiddle around with them to get them in the right position in my ear. The battery life is exactly what Sony says it is. I would say if you are choosing between the headphone or earbud variant, I would spend the extra money and get the headphones. You'll get your moneys worth and also better performance. For me the WF-1000XM3's are not worth the $230 price tag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from sound quality great but noise cancelling poor sound quality is great, as can be expected but noise cancelling is somewhat poor and not at all what reviews online have boasted. the volume has to turned really high in order to not be able to hear any surrounding noise and cars and train noise is not cancelled. It is still a work in progress and offers what other brands aren't able to yet so it is still something i'd buy again but i hope future versions are improved, particularly for the price point they are at. the look incredibly sleek, though they do bulge out a fair bit and for my small ears, they can look odd. connects easily to previously paired devices but i've been having trouble to my laptop. deep bass, amazing range and can be altered to suit the user on the app!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stunning! Best Noise Cancelling ear buds I bought these on Black Friday and have been using them ever since. I got 6 days of use out of them before needing to recharge the case. The noise cancelling is best in class (it's from Sony so you expect the best). They are comfy and you get good noise isolation with the silicon tips. Very well worth the price. I did have some problems with the connection and had to unpair/repair the earbuds. The NFC on the case is helpful with this and made it very easy to pair. One feature that I would like a small update is that you can only see the charge levels of the earbuds and case if they are in use and via the Sony headphones app. The Apple setup allows you to only view the charge levels when the earbuds are in the case. This is the opposite to Sony. I'd love to have both!

These headphones were recommended to me by the Curry’s salesman, as i was in-store to repair/replace my B&O E8 Truly Wireless headphones ... and i cannot thank the salesperson enough, as these are quite simply AMAZING! The sound is awesome, so detailed and precise, the buds look like they are quite big and chunky, but in actual fact they are perfect size and fit so well and easily in the ears. The battery life is fantastic, it really is 24 hours, just as Sony have said. The ease of use is very simple, using Sony’s app “connect” These earbuds truly are the best sounding, the best fitting and overall the best truly wireless earbuds on the market right now. A Truly 5* product, and well worth every penny of their price! A huge Congratulations to Sony on creating such a brilliant product, well done Sony! A VERY VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great upgrade I have both WF-1000x and WF-1000xM3. After getting the WF-1000xM3 I only use the first one for audiobooks. The WF-1000xM3 have superior noise cancellation, superior sound quality and outstanding battery life. I do have one annoying issue, which is actually why I write this review, hoping someone in Sony's app development team will read it. Why can't I have the app store my settings. Normally, I use my plugs in the same condition every day, and my default selection is nc off and ambient sound not enabled. However often I select this, the next time I am using them, it is back on, and I need to start the app to turn it off. Please make an option for storing a default selection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Needs improvement for the price tag My first set I had to return after about 5 days due to the right ear piece just cracking and blipping now and again, probably every 10 minutes. Second set, I was listening to music and the whole thing just had a spasm and music stopped, it was stuck on a strange beep, then powered off, turned themselves back on, and then I could continue listening again. Finally. The copper coloured top on the charging case, is very soft and poor quality; it scratches so so easily, feel the have to wrap them in bubble wrap. Only reason I’m being persistent with them is because I want the in-ear bud active noise cancelling, and amazing sound quality

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bluetooth issues and bad seal, won't stay in ear.. I got this when it first came out. Immediately I noticed how nice the ANC was. It wasn't as good as the WH-1000XM3; however, it is the best I have heard on earbuds. I hit TWO MAJOR issues: 1. The issue is that the earbuds do NOT connect up to all Windows 10 Computers. 2. Earbuds do not seal well in ear and even when sitting OK, a simple low pace walk will eventually shake the earbuds loose. So these really can only be used while sitting at a desk etc... At that point I would go to wired or WH-1000XM3 over these. One of these is a showstopper, having both means BAD DESIGN all over by Sony... Updates on the earbuds didn't fix the linkage to the windows 10 Computer in a good way. They connected but the sound quality is noticeably different than when connected to a phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Music on Android = Good, Everything Else = BAD!!! I have tried every imaginable pair of “studio”, wired headphones, and always come back to my tried and true MDR7506s. I demoed wireless, noise cancelling, over-the-ear headphones from every major manufacturer and I chose with the WH-1000XM3s. I love them! I was so excited when the WF-1000XM3s came out (even more excited when I could actually find a pair available to purchase). Then I got them… and I am entirely disappointed. They really do sound good. They are a little beefy, but fit well. However, every other aspect of these headphones is lacking, if not entirely awful! They will not stay paired with Windows for more than 30-40 seconds (in identical environments where my WH-1000XM3s work perfectly - and yes, I am running 1.3.0), so they are relegated to only be used with my Android devices. There is extreme latency no matter what platform I pair them to, so I cannot use them for watching video. Finally, the call quality is atrocious!!! The mics cut in and out, and when they do work people tell me I sound like I am in a wind tunnel, when I am actually sitting in my perfectly quite living room. There was a long wait to get these… Maybe Sony should have made us wait a little longer and released a product that does not suck.

It doesn’t matter if you have priority on stable connection in the Headphones Connect app, because it’s the same no matter what you pair to. After 50 some-odd factory resets, they just don’t work. If you can manage to finally pair, you’re disconnect in between 5-30 seconds. They’re currently sent back for another try, but I hold no hope. Meanwhile, the wh1000-xm3s have been great. You’d think the bluetooth performance on these buds would be similar.

But there is a minor but essential flaw, the practicality of these headphone, if this could be a suggestion for sony in the future, please make a great headphone WITH the practicality, I mean I want to use it throughout the day, commuting, jogging, even just relaxing in the bathtub. Maybe it sounded too good to be true, but I say what I want to say as an audiophile, when that product is released, I will happily buy it.

It has a snug fit that won't fall off even when you go out for a run. The wirelesss connectivity is great . The touch control is responsive as well the battery life is also impressive. I was impressed with device and would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Yes, I recommend this product

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Massive features in a miniscule package The Sony WF-1000XM3 noise canceling wireless earbuds pack a lot of features in a small, comfortable form factor. I highly recommend these earbuds for their size, convenience, noise cancellation and sound quality. FORM FACTOR These earbuds do no sport any hooks or molding for wearing around the ear; they worn directly in the ear, and are light enough to be worn for long periods of time without any discomfort. Included are several sizes and material tips, to accommodate various ear sizes and shapes. The touch sensitive buttons are responsive and easy to use without have to feel around or search for. The charging case is very portable and allows for safe keeping and charging of the earbuds when not in use. SETUP/SOFTWARE Installing the accompanying app on my phone was easy; pairing and setting up the headphones was quick and painless. The app affords a lot of various configuration, notably being able to set up location-based adaptive sound control scenarios, such as walking/commuting/staying which allow for various levels of noise cancellation and external voice focus. I was able to effectively use this in various activities without having to pull out the phone to change settings. The application also allows for personal custom equalizer settings. I just noticed a setting in the app for 360 Reality audio, which is new, I'm glad they are continually adding new features. SOUND The noise cancellation is on par with the leading noise cancellation headsets, I think having a good seal within the ear they may even have a slight edge in keeping sound out. Train and plane rides are more comfortable due to the the cancellation, it is not overbearing like some of the other headsets. The customizable EQ in the app allows me to tailor the sound as I see fit, as well as a welcome bass boost. BATTERY LIFE I was able to use the earbuds for about 5-6 hours straight with cancellation on, charging with the included case took about 1.5 hours to full. Upon removing the earbuds from the case and putting them in your ears, a voice prompt will tell you approx how much battery life is left. SUMMARY The Sony WF-1000XM3 earbuds are a tiny package full of cutting edge technology. I highly recommend this set of earbuds for it's lightweight design, featureset and incredible sound.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Sounding Wireless Earbuds The Sony WF-1000XM3 are the best sounding earbuds I have ever used. The fit snug in my ear right out of the box. I noticed quite the difference as I put them on that they truly is blocking all the sound out. I own a couple other wireless earbuds and these has become the #1 choice over the last several weeks. The sound is crisp and clear and I did not experience any hiccup with Bluetooth connectivity. Setup was easy through the app, it didn't take more than a few minutes connect them to my phone. The battery life is great. There has not been one time where I had to stop what I am doing to recharge the earbuds. There are no volume control on the earbuds which can be a bother to adjust from my phone when I am moving around. Hopefully, they would be able to fix this with a software update. Users were able to hear me on phone calls and it didn't sound like I was in a vacuum tunnel. I love the fact that I can finally hear the calls from both earbuds. All my previous earbuds would drop to a single earbud when it came to phone calls. Overall, the Sony WF-1000XM3 are truly wonderful for my everyday entertainment and business needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just What I Need Set up of the Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Canceling headphones on my phone was so simple! I will admit I had trouble before my phone updated though. They sound amazing just as promised. These earbuds come with multiple covers to find the right ones to fit perfectly in you ears. I have the issue of earbuds hurting my ears usually but not these. They just slide in, a slight turn and they click in place. I am even able to use them on multiple devices which I like. The fact that the carrying case also charges the earbuds is really convenient. It takes some trial and error but worth it! I would definitely purchase these again. I received this product with a rebate for testing purposes in exchange for my honest review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive noise cancelling earbuds The sound quality of these in ear noising canceling earbuds is amazing. I was skeptical to try an in ear headset as I had previously only found over the ear headset to be truly noise cancelling. What I like it the adaptive technology these Sony earbuds offer. They adjust to your surroundings allowing you to continue to wear them without concerns about the environment around you. The best part is they are small, but powerful. Pros: Great sound performance Noise cancelling is close to that of over the ear headsets with the bulk Comfortable to wear for long periods of time Great battery life Cons: not water resistant.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Earbuds that amaze with its Music and NC I have not used noise cancelling headphones much in the past except for a few times on long haul flights to watch movies. I have used the Bose QC15 and the 1000XM3 over the ear. The experience was great but did not meet my needs for a compact offering for daily NY commute. My husband had raved about the over the ear offering that he uses and he used to say that he had started to listen to music again on flights, given how great they were with their sound quality. I tried these on my daily commute and enjoyed it on two counts. Using just the noise cancelling mode may help in flights but does not meet the cut on trains. But it does help cut through the ambient noise very effectively. It adds real value when you listen to music on these. The sound is refined, the EQs on the app do provide an array of presets for you to play with. The battery on the noise cancelling does it job as advertised and it does and surpass my needs with its long battery life. The charging case provides the needed juice for the commute back. So overall a big vote for my commuting needs. The silver option that i own is smartly designed and has a smart charging case. The couple of improvements that i would like to see from Sony are both related to reduction in size 1) for the case 2) for the earbuds themselves. But for these, I give them a 5 star overall from an experience

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My First wireless earbuds! I recently purchased these refurbished wireless earbuds based on the reviews I have read and the people I have talked to. I did not buy new ones because I was not sure I would like them. I have to say after trying them that I was and am pressed with them. I am new at this and really do not know how to operate them 100 percent but do know they work well and my only complaint is that I can't seem to get them secured in my ears properly? I am afraid I will lose one or the other? I am using the smallest earbuds because the other's seem too big? Maybe somebody could give me some advice? All in all I like them and hope I can get some long term use out of them? Would like a little more bass?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from nice buds...few quarks I ordered color white and it came with a really nice rosegold/off white charging case. The actual earbuds are also off white, not true white. The set up was very easy and it came with 6 pairs of replacement eartips, ranging from small to large. I have texted them in the gym and it survived. The design and quality is really good and my favorite part is the ambience control, it gives you option to turn it on when you still want to hear the surrounding sound when you are working. My only comment for this product is the single tap function. I wish it could be double tap instead, because whenever I am adjusting my earbuds, it would accidentally turned off or turned ambience sound on, etc. Or if I am tapping too soon every 2 second, it tend to freeze. So far it has been working great with my Galaxy S9 and there were no connection issues, and I wish soon this line will have more color options.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great wireless earbuds I have used these earbuds every chance I get. The sound is nice and full creating a very nice musical experience when playing music. The noise cancellation and ambient sound settings are also great features that can be managed from the headphones app. The app is useful for setting how each earbud will work in terms of controls and activating or deactivating noise cancellation, etc... The range of use prior to experiencing a break in connection from the connected device is pretty lengthy. I can walk from one room into another without losing connection. Charging is pretty fast. I would like to see them last longer from a full charge when on standby. I've noticed if I place one in my ear for calls, I may take one or two calls and within an hour to hour and a half I get an alert to charge it. Longer standby time when not in active use would be great. I wasn't able to connect them to my computer or other devices that didn't have access to the app. Which resulted in the need to use other devices that were more universal connectivity options. Overall, great wireless earphones for sound experience and calls. The charging case maintains a charge for many days which I like and provides the ability to charge one and use another if needed. Recharging the case is also pretty fast which is good when in a crunch. I also found that they can be connected to two devices at once which I love!! I can set them for calls on my phone and for media on my tablet for listening to my audiobooks or music. Great capability!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best earbud and easy to use These cancel out the surroundings sounds. I could do work and listen to music without hearing background noise. The earbuds connected to my iPad and phone almost instantly. Convenient to charge and store in charging case. The battery lasted a long time. I could leave them in my purse for a day it two and the battery life stayed at a full charge. The case is easy to use for charging the earbuds. The case is light weight, I didn’t even realize they are in my purse. Extra earpiece sizes are included.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Ear Buds Hands down! I got these noise canceling headphones with my husband in mind.. he works from home a couple days a week and with 5 kiddos sometimes it gets loud and he really needs to focus. These headphones easily drowned out the sound of a cranky toddler! I was surprised at how well they sound playing music with and without the noise canceling on. They fit perfectly and are comfortable to wear.. I was also very impressed with the battery life. My only downside is that they dont work well for phone calls.. each time we have tried using them for hands free calling the person on the phone cant hear us well at all. Other than that we are happily impressed and would recommend these earbuds!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I want to love these I was so excited when I received my Sony WF-1000XM3 Noise Canceling Earbuds. I'd been researching over the ear noise canceling headphones, but was hesitant due to their size. I was hoping these would be my unicorn. They sound amazing, but I unfortunately can't use them. Although they come with ear tips in a variety of sizes, I couldn't find the right fit. I thought I'd fitted them correctly, but was mistaken. I know I put them in my ears properly. I even double checked by watching an instructional video. I'm remodeling my bath, so I figured that this was a great opportunity to try them out. I popped them in my ears and got to work. At first everything was fine. Then I swung the sledgehammer. The left earbud flew out. I tried many times, with a variety of ear tip configurations, but I was not able to get them to fit securely. I then decided to try them without doing any physical activity. The sound and noise canceling are excellent. While listening to my music I received a phone call. I asked the caller if the sound quality was tinny and she said it sounded just fine. I like everything about these earbuds. Except the fit. They sound awesome, the phone call quality was good, the noise canceling feature worked well. The charging case fits in my purse nicely. I wanted to love these so badly. I tried on my husband's new earbuds that he purchased from a major brand that also manufactures phones. They fit wonderfully. But the sound was terrible. I think the sound of the Sony earbuds spoiled me! If they fit you, I recommend these earbuds. I haven't given up yet. I plan to try more ear tips until I find something that works.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Trumps other brands Sony again proved it's the leader in music and audio devices. At this point, no other product in the market is close to what Sony WF-1000XM3 delivers within a sub 300$ price range. The only concern is the battery active time - I got about 2-3 hours of continuous playback. The case offer 2 full battery refills and it is quick. So a total of 8-10 hours perfect for a long flight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from King of Wireless Buds I tested the new Sony WF-1000XM3 noise canceling wireless buds for a few weeks by using them in all types of surroundings. I’ll just get this out the way, the sound was far more superior than other wireless buds. The sound and battery life are really a difference maker. The battery lasted about 7-1/2 hours with music and podcast listening. This is on par with some on-ear wireless headphones. Add in the charging case and you can get up to 32 hours' worth of playtime. This is really useful since I work at a desk for 8 hours a day. I'm still adjusting to the adaptive sound control. This is a neat feature in theory, as the buds can tell if you are sitting, standing, running, or riding on a noisy train. The only problem I have is the buds normally are set to standing when I am sitting, then in five minutes the music pauses to change to sitting. I am used of it, and that's nothing a software update can't fix. The Sony noise cancelling wireless buds come jam packed with a host features: Ambient Sound Noise Cancelling USB C Charging Case Dedicated Sony Connect App HD Voice Calling Support Adaptive Sound Control Instant Bluetooth connection As awesome as the Sony buds are, there are a few quirks that I didn’t like so much: The wireless buds are not water resistant. No volume controls on the buds. Touch controls have slow response time. Sony Connect app can be confusing at first usage. The buds overall fit may not be for everyone. May be too expensive for some. Overall Sony did a very good job with the WF-1000XM3 wireless headphones. The Ambient sound feature works just as well as the noise cancellation. With the ambient sound active I can hear people talk around me without the need to take out the buds. I really enjoy the noise cancellation on these pair of buds. The noise cancellation drowns out a good bit of noise, you may notice some degradation in the sound but not much. Music and Podcast sound really good, I have no complaints with clarity, and bass response. Sony has done an awesome job at checking all the boxes with the WF-1000XM3.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Earbuds These earbuds are great for my listening needs, since I am on the go a lot. The wireless feature means not getting tangled up in a cord or having limited head movement. The noise cancelling feature means I can listen to my music or chat on a call from anywhere and hear clearly. With a variety of ear tips, the earbuds are comfortable for long term wear and the battery life lets me listen for hours. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony WF-1000XM3 Headphones are a Game Changer! The first thing you’ll notice is how perfectly contoured and comfortable they are while wearing them. Sometimes I forget I have them in, I’m not exaggerating! The second thing that struck me was their ergonomic design. They are lightweight but durable and sturdy in the hand. The charging case was larger than average but that’s because they’re packing 32 hrs of juice on a single charge of the pack! With my Sony WF-1000XM3’s I’m getting around 7-8 hours of playback at a medium volume. The promised 90 minutes of playback after 10 minutes of charging is a true claim, I was very happy with that! Sound: The Sony Headphones Connect app is available for free on iOS and Android, this app unlocks so many additional features. I was blown away at the level of control you can get if you want it, there is an equalizer that controls the tonality of your music and podcasts. You can achieve warm or bright styles of sound with the tap of a button in the app. Performance: Because of their light weight these headphones simply stay put, they always seem unaffected by my movement. Wireless headphones with 8+ hours of playback runtime are unheard of, but Sony does it somehow. Forget about distractions because these puppies will drown out virtually everything around you, the various noise cancelling options can be changed on the fly using the touch panel on the ear bud, simply tap to cycle through the different default settings and customize them in the app if you’re a control freak like me. Your ears are unique to you, Sony includes 7 pairs of various sized ear bud tips with different material qualities. This vital accessory is always an after-thought so I was happy to see that I had options. The different types of tips also changed the characteristics of the sound in my experimentation, I found the squishy type tips provided a better seal in my ears and improved the treble, bass effect and comfortability. If you’re currently vacillating between different ear buds and the Sony WF-1000XM3, go for the Sony pair. I honestly don’t think you’ll regret your decision after hearing and feeling them in your ears. I’ve purchased many popular “high-end” brands of headphones, I wasted so much time on them before landing on this Sony pair. They were all nice but their fit left very little to be desired. The sound quality is simply phenomenal and the noise cancelling tech is bar none the best I've experienced. My old wireless ear buds feel like kid’s toys compared to these!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of the Best Wireless Buds Out There Sony has been in the Audio market for a while (think Walkman) and they know a thing or two about it. Pretty much all major movie and music studios use professional grade Sony headphones for their production purposes. I have owned a bunch of over-the-head Sony headphones as well as In-ear ones and they surely did a good job. When I was presented with an opportunity to use Sony's WF-1000XM3 buds, I didn't hesitate to buy them, because I knew Sony would not disappoint me. First of all, these wireless headphones are pretty comfortable compared to the other brands I own, I would suggest that if you are a new user, please try all the available silicon rubber earbuds provided in the box to fit your ear just right. Pairing these with my phone was also easy, just download the Sony Headphones Connect app and you will be set. Within the app, you will find multiple ways to customize your listening experience. What I like about these headphones is its noise cancelling function that kicks in and automatically detects the environment you are in and adjusts to it: if you are walking or in a noisy transport, it knows exactly what to do. You can also use your select presets or your own custom equalizer to make your music sound even better. I would say the charging case looks really cool and has a nice feel, however it could have been a bit smaller, also the lack of charging it wirelessly is something I would suggest Sony add to its next generation. I would also suggest that Sony include some type of water resistance to the buds as well as a way to turn volume up or down by using the touch pad on the headphones. These are the only improvements I can suggest to make these truly wireless buds even better. I like how these buds reproduce sound, its bass and treble are excellent. Most of all, its battery performance is superb! I went on a camping trip and these buds lasted me on and off for 7 days! I also enjoy using the Google Voice assistant perfectly integrated. All in all, these Sony headphones will be traveling with me a lot, no more dangling cords! With 10 min quick charge for 90 min of play time - one cannot ask for more! I look forward to discover what else Sony has in their pockets for us in the future. These headphones were offered to me at a discounted price for my fair review and testing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Running with background noise and working without These headphones are great, once you’ve figured them out. There is a bit of trial and error with trying to figure out which ear piece fits best with your ears. It isn’t always the same size that works for both ears. However, once you figure out the sizing they are well worth the effort. I took my Sony Earbubs out for a quick 4 mile run to test them out and they didn’t budge an inch. I like that I could set them to block out the wind, but I could still hear cars coming before I could see them. Next I tried them out at my desk to see how the true Noise Cancelling feature worked. This is where the trial and error with the ear pieces really came into play. I thought that I had the right fit with my right ear, but I could still hear my officemate on his phone. After trying a couple of other sizes I found the ear piece that was just right and WOW! I couldn’t even hear myself typing on my computer. They blocked out everything so completely that it wasn’t till my officemate stood next to me and tapped me on the shoulder that I even knew that he had been trying to talk to me for several minutes. All in all I highly recommend these earbubs for everything from desk work to running and plan to continue putting them through their paces. I took off one star because of the trial and error and the picture directions that seem like they are trying to make it really easy to understand but really words would’ve been better!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound quality earbuds Sound Quality 5/5 -The way the noise bounces from earbud to earbud is awesome, it completely disconnects from your surroundings. Call Quality 5/5 I have used different noise cancelling headphones before and this one is by far the best with the audio/call quality. Noise Canceling 5/5 -I really enjoy the noise cancelling feature, I was standing next to a soundbar that was playing pretty loud music and decided to try the earbuds and the room went completely quiet. It was scary but awesome. Fit 4/5 -I've been using the left earbud most of the time for about a month and recently the earbud is not staying in my ear anymore. I don't use the right one as often but I haven't had any issues with it Technology 1/5 (Edited) My issue was fixed with the latest version update but the instal of such update was not a good experience. -I have been unable to use Google Assistant functionality because of the current problem with IOS 13.1, I am currently on IOS 13.2 and there has not been an update to fix that functionality. -Earbuds work great if you are using both at the same time. I normally use the left one to be able to pay attention to my surroundings and if i remove the earbud the music doesn't stop and if i try using the right one only it will never connect to my phone. -Sony released a new version to provide a fix to the Google functionality issue. When installing the update if I was not playing anything on the earbuds, the earbuds would turn off and cause a fail update. Once I figured that was the issue, I played a song while the update finished. When I switched apps to set up the Assistant I had to reset both headhphones app and the Assistant app to help the earbuds be recognized in the Assistant App

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Sound Quality and Noise Cancellation Sound quality and noise cancellation are top notch and are even comparable to most over the ear noise cancellation headphones. The biggest problem I had was it keeping the earbuds connected. They would randomly shut off/disconnect while listening to music or watching a movie despite being paired to either Note 10+ and Galaxy Tab S6. There was a recent firmware update which has greatly improved bluetooth connectivity. In addition, the recent firmware update now shows the battery life of the charging case. The only drawback at this point is the lack of any IP ratings for sweat which has prevented me from using them at the gym. Overall, I am giving these earbuds 4 stars based on sound quality, comfort, battery life and noise cancellation. It will be interesting in seeing how the upcoming Bose 700 NC earbuds coming in 2020 will compare to these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony Quality These earbuds represent the quality that I have come to expect from the Sony brand. The build quality of both the earbuds and the case are excellent, commensurate with the premium price tag. The case, while a bit large, is lightweight, and has the usual LEDs to designate charging status. Although the earbuds themselves are also a bit larger than others, presumably to accommodate the NC electronics, comfort level in the ear is quite good, allowing me to wear the earbuds for extended periods without irritation. The multiple sets of earbuds provided should provide a good fit for just about everyone. I am getting about six hours of use per charge, which is more than enough for most listening sessions. I generally recharge overnight, so I can't comment on the claimed quick recharge feature. Sound quality, with good bass, and noise suppression are so much better than the bargain earbuds that I have used in the past. I have been using them during yard work and have no problem hearing the music as the the lawnmower and other equipment noise is well suppressed. I'm especially happy that the earbuds are maintaining the streaming connection with my phone throughout the yard with no drop offs or synch issues, although I do have a strong outdoor wifi signal with my mesh network. I haven't had the need to use the touch controls much, especially since there is no volume control on the earbuds themselves. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than others, but a few bugs hold it back. So I'll start off by saying that hands down these are the best truly wireless earbuds I have owned. Now for the price they absolutely should be, but in my opinion the noise cancelation makes them more than worth it. Sound: Quality wise there is not another pair of buds on the market that come close to this. The lows are low and don't get "muddy", highs are crisp and voices are clear even in complex songs. The huge selection of ear tips lets you find a perfect fit which helps to isolate these more and improve sound further. Fit: I've owned a lot of wireless earbuds and none of them fit like these do. Others seem to get loose when I wear them, but thanks to the shape and ear tip choices they fit more snuggly and naturally. They are supremely comfortable to wear and do not feel like they will slip out. Build: They're fine construction wise. For the price I wish there was aluminum on the outer part of the buds, but to be fair that could have impacted wear by adding extra weight. The biggest thing is no water/sweat resistance. I haven't had any problem at the gym, but it's a concern. Software: So there are some amazing feature here for wireless earbuds. First of course is Sony including the same noise canceling chip from their flagship OTE headphones. You don't get quite the same isolation, but it's mind blowing how good it is on something so small. The touch controls are sensitive as well. None of this would matter without a great app and interface to use all of these features. The Sony app is phenomenal. The EQ settings and different settings for noise canceling (staying, walking, running, transit) make it useful for any situation. Bugs/issues So I've only encountered a few. The biggest by far is that sometimes the earbuds just don't recognize they've been taken out of their charging case when only one is removed. This is problematic since I use this for hands free calls in the car. I'm sure it's a simple software fix so I'm not overly worried. My second issue is that you can not adjust volume with the touch controls and they only can perform one function. Finally the case stains so easily. I have the silver ones and just from being in my pocket (I work indoors at a cellphone store) it's gotten dirty because of the soft touch plastic used. Conclusion: These are phenomenal headphones. They have some issues that I am confident will be remedied with software, but if you want the best this is it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Adaptive sound control works perfectly These Sony WF-1000XM3 headsets are pretty nice. The adaptive sound controls successfully detected all my movements whether I was standing still or moving around. I was able to set the noise canceling to allow more sounds through the headset as I needed it to be while I was at work and changed the settings to block out more sounds when I was out for walks or I was in noisy environments. I was really impressed with how well the adaptive sound controls worked and they are probably my favorite part of these headsets. In an office environment, they worked great, blocked out all the ambient noises and muffled out a lot of voices as well. When I was out walking, again it blocked out most sounds, except wind noise. Wind noise seemed to be amplified with these on, but I'm guessing the wind was able to enter my ear from a lack of a good seal from the headset since the noise sounded a lot like what I hear when riding a motorcycle and the wind entering the helmet. Sounded a lot like a wind tunnel in my ears. These are a little bulkier and heavier than some of my other wireless bluetooth headsets, but they weren't too bad really, but that might be a reason I had a little issue with the fit. A few times the headset fell out of my ears when I just looked down or if i barely touched it on accident, they would fall out. I almost lost the left side when I looked down over a sink full of water and it fell out of my ear. Luckily i caught it in mid air before it fell into the water. The sound quality from the headsets are pretty good and the sound quality improves a little when you turn on the DSEE setting, although it does drain the batteries faster. With the Adaptive sound controls turned on and the DSEE turned on, i averaged about 3 1/2 hrs of use before they needed to be recharged. With DSEE off and adaptive sound controls on, I was regularly averaging 6 hrs of use before recharging. This headset was a good buy for me and I have no regrets. They have become my go to headset for daily use. :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everyday accessory It’s been a long time since I really enjoy using earbuds. I’ve tried multiple brands but have finally found my happy place. These Sony earbuds are now a MUST in my work backpack! I work in a very loud office and these are perfect for it. I find the best mode to use in my office is noise-canceling mode. I can easily shut off all the noise around me while having my music only 50% of the way. When I see someone approach me, I easily hold the button on the left side to turn on ambient noise and mic which gives me a superhuman hearing to catch comments from co-workers or my boss with no problems. I love the fact that you can assign actions to the single touch button each earbud has. I currently have the right one to pause/play/skip songs and pick up phone calls and the left to change modes of ambient noise and noise canceling. I have had these earbuds for almost 3!months now and have never run out of battery! At lunch, I simply put them back in the case and they are 100% when I come back and that lasts me through the day. The design of the case and the earbuds are also pretty cool. I have gotten multiple compliments for them and have shared my experience with coworkers that have already copied me! Overall, I am very happy with this purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Earbuds Let me start my review with what i think is my biggest tip to using these earbuds properly. Make sure to try all the included tips to make sure you have the right one. I thought the ones ithat were of the style i normally use on different earbuds were the right ones for me, but i was completely wrong. The differences between the wrong tips and the right ones are like night and day. I typically use these while out and about, listen to music, audiobooks and make phone calls. I like the fit, and have not had any problems with them falling out of my ear once i had the correct tips on and learned the proper way to twist them on. Sound quality is excellent as is voice quality to the phone i use. I did recently upgrade my phone and had to pair them to the new phone using the Bluetooth settings on my phone rather than with the app, but after i figured out using the app to pair wasnt going to happen, the pairing process went smooth. Noise cancelling on these worked outstandingly well. Flew on a 32 hour flight recently and they were comfortable and quiet for most of the flight. I did charge the case in the seat charger, so i missed an excellent opportunity to check total battery life, but i just didnt want to be without them when i wanted them. These are not waterproof, but when i buy something i intend to use it how i want to and if it doesnt hold up, ill move onto something else. I was in southeast asia during monsoon season, and i would wear these out and around doing nothing special to keep them dry other than what i do to keep my head dry...used and umbrella. I also go to the gym once a day and usually spend an hour on the treadmill. And im a sweater hehe. Even just out and about in tropical climates i sweat a lot. But have had no issues with these as far as i use them still going strong. So overall these are the best sounding of the six different brands i have, their charge lasts for several days of my use. Their noise cancelling is great and they do everything i ask them to do better than any of the others i have tried. So much so, that these are now a part of my every day carry gear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Technology is my job! I just want to start off by saying WOW! I couldn’t wait for my Sony WF-1000XM3 headphones to arrive, and when they arrived today I couldn’t wait to get them out the box and get them in my ears. Opening the box I knew by packaging that everything was packaged so well that nothing would be broken and that’s always a relief. The headphones were snuggly tucked into packaging along with the charging case. Numerous ear accessories for many different ear sizes, along with the charging cable and manual were tucked underneath. Once I downloaded the application to my smartphone setup was a breeze. Everything was step by step and you’re walked through. Having numerous different brands and styles of headphones I will say these are the most advanced pair I own. There are so many options and accessories. I was able to set an equalizer that suites my listening needs and wants. You’re able to set it for when you take on out it’ll pause your music. And you even have options to use Alexa or Google Assistant, which I’ve yet to explore. I will say I was not disappointed when I connected my phone to these headphones! The clarity is amazing! From vocals, each individual instrument, and the deep bass, I was truly blown away! I work in an industry where sound is very important. An industry being arenas and theaters. I will say these are by far the nicest headset I’ve every had and can’t wait to explore the many more options these have to offer. From hands free calling, battery life, Alexa and Google Assistant. Having had a couple days now to explore I can truly say that I am blown away about every aspect of these headphones. I haven’t ran into any issues losing my media when paired with the Bluetooth, I’ve been able to go about doing chores around the house without carrying my phone around and haven’t encountered an instance of losing my media. And I have been able to go about doing lawn work as well! I’ve had these headphones for days now and have yet to charge them and have put hours of listening in and am still at about 50% battery life! As with other headphones I’ll go to put them in the next day and encounter the they need to be charged message and have to postpone my tasks at hand. Lastly there are zero distractions with the noise canceling aspect of these headphones, it’s like being in the recording studio live with every track that I’ve listened to. And they fit snuggly! I honestly have yet to find a flaw with these headphones!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Little bombs I travel everyday around 2.5 hours for my job, so having something like ear buds is like blessings for me. They really take down all the noise around where I can feel the music like I am listening without all around, as it sounds amazing. It is really amazing. It gives me some peaceful time. Let me add that when I am travelling in train, it is so crowded and definitely noisy. I love my Sony earbuds and recommend to all my friends. Regarding the comfortability of wearing it wear them for long ours near they are heavy and there fitment is great in years. Noise cancellation feature heaps me even to get some sound sleep with all sorts of noise surrounding me. Battery life is great after using is during my travel still has much charge left. They are expensive but then better then any other earbuds available in world. And best can never be cheap. If they are waterproof probably that will let me use them in front of my kid who is mischievous. Otherwise they felt quite sturdy. I always told my freinds regarding there quality and sturdiness. Whoever tried it is impressed with sound quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely best Headphones I've ever had I wanted to try these out since Sony is known for good products. I've had other headphones in the past, so this was something I could compare to. Upon opening the package, I seen the charging container and the ear buds (not in the container). Then taking these out I came across extra ear buds plus the charging cord and manual (which you'll need to get setup). So, first thing is you'll notice the headphones don't sync to anything until you out them in the case to activate, then you can start the sync process once they've been removed. I love how it tells you L or R so you know which is which. Once in you install the app on your phone and follow the prompts. The coolest thing is it you have to take pictures of your ears so it can then get the best listening experience based on your ears. This is something no other headphone has done, so this was intriguing. So, once that's done you can go thru the settings to see what sounds good to you. I loved how you can hear the difference when sitting, walking, in a car and running. The Ambient when in the car was the clearest. I couldn't believe how clear this was and how you can hear others too when they were talking. Now when I was in a room and someone was talking, it was hard to hear them. Once I switched the ambient function off, you could tell a huge difference in hearing background noise and people talking. It's crazy how much of a difference this makes, but just knowing you have those options is even better. Also, you can adjust how much ambient is done by adjusting the bar. So, I tested out the sound with certain music types it literally sounded like I was in a Music Hall. It was amazing. My other headphones don't do that, so this was a pleasant surprise. So, one thing that's a really nice feature is the built in Alexa voice control. I used this to ask what the weather would be like then asked to play certain songs. This is one thing my others didn't have and it's been so convenient. Just to be able to run or go walking and use this function has been a blessing. The battery life on these is by far the best I've ever seen for headphones, 24 hrs! This means you can use them during the day without fear if the battery running down. So, after hearing the difference between normal and the ambient sound, Sony has outdone themselves with these headphones. I love these and I had my boyfriend try them too after I did and he loved them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Must Have!! I recently purchased the Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Earbuds, to replace my old wired headphones. I travel a great deal for work, and when I'm on a plane I like to disconnect completely! These earbuds are the perfect travel companion. The charging case is sleek and the charging time is excellent! The fit on these earbuds was ideal for me, as most earbuds don't fit my ear. These fit snuggly into my ear and doesn't hurt my ear canal. Also, they included 12 different tips, which definitely helps find the right size. If you are looking for a great pair of Noise-Cancelling earbuds, the Sony WF-1000XM3 is the way to go! Great quality and even better noise canceling!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound experience The Sony WF-100XM3 is a amazing wireless earbuds. The sound quality that comes out of these small ear piece is beyond phenomenal. The crispness and clarity of the sound quality blows my mind away. I'm never been the type of person who would spend hundreds of dollars on expensive headphones. I prefer the earbuds style over the huge beat style headphones. One of the things I love about earbuds is the fact I can wear them at work and not look like i'm a DJ. I chose the white colored earbuds and they look very sleek and modern. Setup process couldn't be any easier. Since there was still battery in the earbuds, I was able to connect it to my phone via bluetooth. At this point you can use the earbuds as is. But if you want to customized your sound experience the way you like it, you have to download the Sony Headphone app. Connecting to the app is very easy. Once connected, you can customized your earbuds to your liking. Also, the app knows it when you are walking, running, sitting, or driving and customized the quality of the sounds to fit you. It makes listening to your favorite music without any sort of hiccups. One of the settings I disable is when the earbuds is removed the sound would stop. When I'm at work, I usually have only one earbuds in so I can listen to music as well as pay attention to my environment. Doing so, I'm able to listen to music or hours without having to charge. Also since the earbuds case is able to charge the earbuds while it is in the case, makes it so you would never ever be without battery. Sony thought of everything when they design these earbuds. I'm super impress with the design and the sound quality. If I could, I would definitely give it more the 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound plus noise cancelling! I have been using these for a couple of weeks and have been very pleasantly satisfied with their audio performance. Full bass without being overpowering and warm sounding with pretty good soundstage. Battery life is not a problem but if you do run low a 10 min quick charge gives you 90 more minutes of playtime. They come with a wide selection of ear tips including silicone and memory foam which are pretty comfortable and allow for pretty good passive isolation. You are able to toggle between noise cancellation on/off and ambient sounds. When using the app you can select automatic adjustment which seems to do very well-when you are walking you might want to know what is going on around you, but if you are commuting on train/subway noise cancellation makes it possible to listen to your music/videos at a lower sound level. Noise cancellation works great for subway/train. I did try them on an airplane ride as well and they get rid of a lot of the droning sounds but are not quite as effective as the Sony over the ear noise cancelling headphones (WH series), however I prefer the compact portability of the earbuds. As far as any drawbacks, pairing/switching with iOS was a little problem but seems to have been fixed with a firmware update. The case, though stylish in Black with Copper metallic accents, is a little on the bulkier side compared to other wireless earbuds. Also they do stick out of the ears a little more than some other earbuds, and the fronts do seem to catch the wind and cause some noise if it's windy out so perhaps not the best for jogging/running (also not waterproof). However, the touch sensitive circular surface for controls is flat and easy to delineate. Over all I am very happy with my Sony WF-1000XM3 ear buds. If only Sony would work on their naming conventions! ;)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost perfect, better fit would have made it king As far as sound quality I would say its really good but I wouldn't put it on the same level as the some other brands true wireless offers at a higher price point. The noise cancelling works surprisingly well. My only wish would be better fit. I tried all the attached tips and still it would at fall out of my ear. Which leaves me with no confidence wearing it out an about. I had to order additional tips to make it work; one thing that would have maybe made it better would be to have something similar to those stayhear tips. That would have maybe made the Sony WF-1000XM3 my go to true wireless headphones to use. Once I used the new tips I was better able to compare these units to others on the market and the bread and butter of these are the noise cancelling, the app leaves a bit to be desired but that’s something I can live with. They do have a nice built quality and the case has a premium feel to it. Because confidence out the box in wearing these on a day in and day out is the purpose I gave it a 4/5. Hopefully in the next version they look at the stayhear design tips.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sound is better than I expected The first thing I noticed when I opened the box is I thought the case for these is adorable the black and rose gold color makes it look super fancy. I saw the inside of the package said to download the app so instead of reading the instructions I wanted to gauge how easy it would be to pair them by just connecting the app and following directions. It was easy and no major issues I like items that are easy to use and set up quickly. The sound quality is so good the music sounded so clear. I like that you can use just one ear bud at a time and it still plays it's important I can hear my phone and what's going on around me at work. I also like the various options in the app to personalize and adjust the sound to your needs. I have small ears and the extra ear tips are a requirement for me to get the best fit possible and the variety is nice in case I ever let someone else use them in my household. The buds themselves aren't eye appealing but the sound is what matters to me and they sound great. I am excited to own these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Honest review of the sony earpods I've had the chance to review the Sony wireless noise canceling earbuds for the past 2 weeks here is my honest review on this item. 1st of all the thing that you notice about these earbuds is the case it's huge and shaped just like Sony's styling should be wary priesteen very elegant however it has a bulk to it now I try to find out why so much bulk so I was wondering does it have wireless charging on the case gathers no does it have any extra features the answers know how about the battery know it's comparable to other battery cases however the lighting effect that the front case gives is out of some kind of scifi movie looks beautiful I think the beauty of the case justifies and lets me go past how about how big it is. now on To the earbuds/earpods (I like the latter) the Sony WF 1000 XM3 is a mouthful to say but Sony has got something here with its ambient sound That the Competition just doesn't Have correctly in the bag as of yet. Again Sony is one of the originators of putting sound in our ears so I think it justifies the fact that Sony should be very good at trying to give us the best features when it comes to hearing anything that Comes from their devices and it goes to show with these sony earpods. The app once downloaded to the device on your phone it has many features that you can play around with to perfect that sound Sony does a very good job of giving you choices through the app and the app works seamlessly and it's very easy to connect the ear pods with the app. I received about 3 hours with the ambient sound on which worked flawlessly with no issues had no issues flipped true the options and see no lag I felt like they have this ambient sound mode the best so far with all the ear pods I've tried so far Charging it was a breeze also USB C is what the charging case uses I wish it had wireless charging it would have been a great feature then these ear pods would have been my choice, sadly they don't have wireless charging so I have to worry about carrying on around a wire with me everywhere I go. The case does say state 18 hours of recharge I was unable to test out the full 18 hours but I did charge twice and it gave my ear pods another 10 hours before I had to recharge the case and there are parts over all it's a great fit and finish it's what you would expect in sound quality for Sony and it's what other Designers of earpods should strive if they want to make something with this quality of sound.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good sound but have fitting and connectivity issue I think this is the best sounding true wireless earbuds for me in the market right now. However... I could not get a good fit on the right side, as well as intermittent disconnections. Connection to my iPhone also takes longer than usual. Says Bluetooth connected but in fact it’s not. I still have to wait another 20-30 seconds before it’s really connected. Maybe have to repair over and over again. Please patch this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good sound but a slight miss in the features. Having used and being completely satisfied by the MDR 1000X M2 Headphones, I bought these with a slight hesitation as I was unsure if these could fill the shoes of its big brother. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least as the small size of the earbuds did not compromise in the sound department. However, I do have my reservations in some areas, namely during in-call and charging. There were times where the other party was unable to hear my clearly and I end up shouting like a crazy person. Secondly, it is such a waste that the buds do not have wireless charging especially since Sony charges a premium for them. This is a far cry compared to competitors such as JBL which do come with wireless charging.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound performance. Overall, sound is great, easy to fine tune via the equalizer to achieve individual desired sound signature. Wireless performance is also satisfactory when use with Sony 1Z and iPad, however perform quite bad when use with my Sony ZX2 (when firmware version 1.2 for this earbud) with frequent glitches in the connection, the connection however mproves after updated to firmware 1.3.0), with much lesser glitches occurrence, not eliminated. Another area need to be improved is the sound volume control, I find the sound level sometime is a bit at low or a bit at high, need finer intermediate step of +/- for more gradual sound volume control to achieve desire sound volume.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty good I bought these a little over 2 weeks ago and I am loving these. The noise cancelling is great to use especially when I'm on the train. The sound quality is promising. The battery life is better than advertised. The only issue i had so far is some connection issue when I have my phone in my jeans and the sound would distort a little bit. Especially when i have my phone in my right thigh pocket and i turned my head to the left. But once I look straight forward the sound just continues like it would normally. And also some of the eartips provided doesn't really fit my ear canal. So I have to adjust it in my ears every once in a while. But it could also due to the fact that i haven't tried all of the eartips. I recommend everyone that is interested in these to try these on if given the chance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is what I'm Looking For! I was looking for a decent in-ear and wireless earbuds for quite some time now and had tried the budget-friendly Xiaomi Redmi Airdots to the more expensive Jabra 65T and Jabra 75T. And after testing the WF-1000XME at my local Sony Centre, I finally decide the Sony instead. I'm a bass guy, and I like my earphone to be wireless. Hence the hunt for the TWS. Hearing the WF-1000XME for the first time really caught me by surprise! The treble is clear, bass is acceptable and the NC is superb! The unit is small enough to be portable, except for the charging case (but with 3x extra charging capability, I don't really mind the size). I replaced the eartips with a premium-priced ones (the one with the 3D tip) and the sound is even better! I don't know how Sony can beat this WF-1000XME with another newer product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Still requires improvement.. Nevertheless, for its brand the device does stands to its level. However there are few key points that I would like to address for improvement purposes. Connectivity:- I must say the connectivity to the device (apple iphone) was most certainly not an easy thing to do. It took sometime for the first time after watching some guidance video via YouTube. If only Sony could come up with a apple friendly product it would definitely mean a lot. Size & Weight of the device:- It is really big and heavy at the same time compared to any other TWS products. Over the time it kinda hurts your ears. Try working on a much smaller and lighter weight possible. At least you won’t hear people complaining about having it on their ears for a longer period. Ear tips:- The ear tips are not for long listening I assume. Even the sponge base can be hurting too. The silicon ones are very intact and suits best for sports but that hurts more than the sponge based. Looking at investing on a 3rd party ear tips for better experience. This is coming out of my own pocket and therefore I’m not too pleased about it since I’ve invested a lot on this particular device. Large Bluetooth case:- The case is bigger than most of the TWS out there in the current market. Probably due to the ability for long play hours however I still believe the size of the case could be brought down accordingly. Need to depend on apps or other devices to monitor the battery level as some TWS provides the ability to view them (case and earbud battery level) from the case itself. Sony headphones app:- Most of the time it doesn’t detect the presence of my device. Takes longer time and reconnects multiple times. I have no choice to use this app to get the full potential of the device itself. Highly dependable on a unreliable app. It sometimes sickens me. Other than that the Sony TWS is a solid product however if we could curb the issues mentioned as a above I would most definitely give a 5 out 5. Finally I wish Sony the very best in enhancing their future earbuds (TWS). I have faith in the product as I’ve always been a faithful and loyal Sony fan. Looking forward for your kind response. Thanks and have a lovely day ahead Cheers, V

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Honey! They shrunk my WH-1000XM3! Having owned a variety of different quality TWS, I have to say that Sony has hit the WF-1000XM3 out of the park! Listening to a selection of lossless music from different genres through an Ipad Pro and an Iphone 11, the Sony's offer and value are unmatched.. What I like? Great sound quality. Sounds very much like my full sized WH-1000XM3. Good ANC. One of the better ones I have tried in a wireless IEM. W-I-D-E headstage. What can be improved? Smaller case size please. Not so convenient to carry current case around. Ability to control volume & have playback controls at the same time.We now have to choose one or the other. Ambient sound control could be better. Did not quite work well for me. Overall? Great job Sony! Cant wait to see what improvements you can bring to the table with the next version!.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolute Music Enjoyment What I really like about this new earphones is that I get to enjoy the best of both worlds: noise cancellation for absolute music enjoyment and the ability to listen to external sounds whenever I tap and hold the left earphone. What’s more, I can even control the level of noise cancellation it offers depending on the activity that I’m doing. For example, I set it such that whenever I’m stationary, noise cancellation is at 100%. And when I start walking, it automatically detects the change in movement, and reduces the NC to 50%. Once, I was using the earphones in the gym with the noise cancellation feature on. There was a fitness class going on and they were blasting upbeat music. I didn’t realised how loud the background music was until I took out the earphones. The NC function is truly exceptional. Highly recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nearly Perfect Compared to WF-1000XM, it is a great improvement on the battery life usage, sound quality, features, noise cancelling and etc. I absolutely have no much comment on it. But I hope that in future, the size of the earbuds and battery cage can be more smaller and larger battery capacity, more option of cases for the battery cage for protection purpose and more color option.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overall Best for Quality A few points to mention where it stands out from the rest: - Quality for connection is superb. - Sound Quality is as good as a cabled earpiece - Volume, Play/Pause and ANC controls are available and easy to use. - Battery life is really awesome for a bluetooth earpiece - Passive noice cancelling is already good to the point where ANC is usually not needed unless it's a public space. - Application Control is a plus point and it does really alot more to help the earpiece. No matter how good a device is, there will always things to be improved, which will be stated as below (It is really good, but just recommendations to be improved): - Size of the box could be tweaked. - The ease of connecting to a new device could be easier - The shape could be improved abit to reduce ear fatigue after wearing it for a long time. Overall, it is personally the best bluetooth earpieces that i have used. I would love that the earpieces to be waterproof rated in the future for sports and more active use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound but room for improvement in other area One of the best in terms if sound quality. However, several other areas to be improved: - fitting is poor and earbuds have fallen out of my ear (have tried switching the size of the the buds but was of no help) - connection gets fuzzy intermittently, although it jumps back quickly to play normally without the need for any reconnection but is still quite an annoyance to hear static and fuzzy sounds - ‘hear through’ mode ( long tap on the left bud) takes significantly long time to activate and defeats the purpose of using it to respond to conversations (eg ordering a cup of coffee). - no way to tell how much charge is left on the case - so how do i know when is a good time to recharge. It will be too late once i see the indicator lights that it has gone flat. I mean, Who still waits till their phone is at 1% before giving it a charge? This was one of the most surprising, given that this pair is considered one if the higher range. Having said all these ‘negatives’ , the sound quality is one of the best among wireless earbuds in the market. As one of my friend who tried my earbuds said - it makes me hear things in my music that i have never heard before. So, the excellent sound quality makes up for some if these ‘downsides’ but would be good if these can be improved further.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No volume control otherwise an excellent product The sound is great, the fit is very comfortable. The only drawback is the lack of volume control on the headphones. The after-thought app for it does not really work. At least for me, it did not work with my Samsung TV which is what I use it mainly for. At that price level, there should have been volume control like other competitor brands. I was quite disappointed because of this. So if you cannot control the volume from your source once connected to these headphones, then don't buy this model.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sound and comfort very good, but still audio drops I bought the previous iteration of these wireless almost 2 years ago. Sound was very good then, but the drop in audio connection was infuriating and a disgrace considering the price and expectations for a brand like Sony. The delays with video were ridiculous. When I returned the earphones to the Sony store in Singapore to ask them to throw them away they did not even bother or appear embarrassed about the poor quality. When the new earphones came out a few weeks ago, I was convinced by the very positive reviews to try my luck with Sony one last time. I am quite happy with the product but the occasional audio drops still happen when walking around. But they are great when I am at my desk working

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great pair of wireless earphone This product is excellent. The battery life is better as compare to the other one that I had. The sound quality is almost on par with the other one I have, but the bass definitely is better. The noise cancelling function is good also, except don't put it to adaptive mode via app. This is because when I'm inside the MRT, it will pause my music and so called improve the noise cancelling, then when I alight to a MRT station, it will pause again. It will cause like few seconds of no music avail, so a bit irritating. Just don't use adaptive mode, it is an excellent pair of ear phones. Not so much function as compare to the other one I have, like volume up/down, previous track via finger tapping on device, but still acceptable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Eartips problem Till now it's my best earbugs for Noise Cancelling. A bit problem is eartips not really fitted my ears. I change all to try but final the large one is more fixed me around 85% but after use a while loss again. Not really fitting firmly and comfortable. After used one week, feel that wasted. Try to change my Jabra Elite t65 ear tip but still not satisfied. It's great change to my Soul Emotion 2 large eartips, fitted 100% and feel comfortable. May be Sony hope provided more fixed eartips and designed a bit long and deep to ear but may be this is a bit problem for the design. Anyways, just my personal views and feedback. Thanks to Sony for design and provided the superb Noise Cancelling earbugs. Cheers and pray all healty and stay safe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great battery life and music device, horrible call After using this product for months, audio quality is very good with good anc and sound reproduction. Good: Decent battery life Good audio reproduction. Can improve: ANC not as great as previous Gen Sony ANC headphone. In complete NC setting external sound still managed to get into the hearing. Wind noise sometime also managed to get pass the NC under condition of 5kph wind condition. Bluetooth stability seems to flicker after 2.0.2 update. Bad: Mic pickup for phone call is terrible . During a phone call mic tend to pick up all surrounding sound and background voices very clearly but not the speaker's voice. It almost seems the software reverse the mic. Using the NC mic as pickup and normal mic as NC for phone call. Example. Call pickup a background conversation from 3 meter away as if the talker is shouting into the call where the caller voice is hardly heard.

But only after I changed to a better aftermarket silicone ear tip.. With the standard issue ear tip, I still can hear wind noise from outside.. And also can hear sometimes people talking beside me when I'm in a train.. Even though I've set it for ANC (total isolation).. Another problem is, I cant use it for conferencing on Windows PC.. It only works superbly on phone.. Most probably due to the application/drivers/etc..

The sound quality is great and with the anc I can barely hear external noice when listening to music. However, the Bluetooth connection was very unstable, I got disconnected frequently even though I was not moving. It can be as frequent as after 10mins to an hour although I’ve selected the stable connection priority in the headphone app. It can get very frustrating and annoying to reconnect so frequently. Followed the trouble shooting guide to reduce disconnections but did not work. Overall, would be the best earbuds if not for the connection issues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good product except microphone background noise I bought this 3 months ago. My experience so far. Microphone on both ear pieces did not work properly, there was lot of surrounding/public/traffic noise when outdoors while in voice call. Caller couldn't hear my voice. When called customer care they asked me to update firmware software but invain. Walked into Sony care. They took it in and replaced both the ear pieces. Now caller can hear my voice but still with background noise. Pros: Sound quality is amazing compared with other true wireless. Customize highs and lows in Sony mobile App for best settings for you. Light weight fits snuggly but if had ear tip wing would be fully secured. Good enough noise cancellation. Superb battery life with bulky charge case. You will never remember when you actually charged the case. Cons: Poor microphone voice isolation. Lot of background noise in voice call, still needs update. Bulky charging case, no wireless charging. Very small charging cable without (NO) wall plug for charging. Overall, worthful for the price and quality from Sony. It need some updates here and there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Voice receivable issue I bought this and overall is good, but Bluetooth can be randomly disconnected and on call with people sometimes they can’t hear me clearly plus when i try to answer call sometimes it’s connected sometime not.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tricky to pair with second device I bought these for my wife for use in the gym. They reproduce music well and have performed as expected. My one beef is that once paired with my wife's iPhone, we could not pair it with her iPad. We looked for support on line and tried various suggestions, but nothing has worked.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Noise cancellation + Ambient sound Great headphones. Pros: Ambient sound feature Noise cancellation Ability to customize the touch buttons Good bass quality Cons: No volume control capability Switching back and forth from music to calls and vice versa makes your voice sound like a robot in calls. You need to disconnect and re-connect your mic input in apps to fix. Aggressive power save shuts down the headphones even when it is plugged in the ear. I had to turn off auto power off feature to fix it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good but could be better Overall is good for music and streaming but call quality is poor. In addition to that they are time where either side of the earphone suddenly stop emitting sound.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth it Bought it a month ago, the battery life is great coupled with the charging case. The sound is on point! Not to mention the equaliser really makes a difference! If you're buying it, take time to use the eq, totally worth it. Noise cancellation is not as good as the headphones but hey, in a small package, I'll take it. Pairing is really easy and you can use them independently. Take one out and leave one in the case. There's no wireless charging but it charges with USB C so not bad. The foam tips turned smelly though after a while, not sure if it's just me, so I used silicon tips instead. I haven't tried for sports but will do so soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great music Playing sad ending kdrama Mr. Sunshine OST, can hear the individual instruments playing. Piano, violin...etc Next playing unplug ver of creep by kina grannis, change to vocal setting. Wow really blow your mind. Next playing FRIENDS by Marshmello & Anne-Marie, change to Excited setting. Woo the bass, deep impact, never hear Anne-Marie sing so brightly before. Really dun koe what I had been missing out. The Sony app, everytime disconnected one when you come out of the app, when going into the app, always needs to re connect. Another thing I find out is that when you off the ambient sound control, the music sound better, more like open up abit. And the constant auto detect your environment, it will pause your music for like 1 sec and play again. Using iPhone X and using the tips that come with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sleek design and excellent noise cancelling Good value for money and amazing product. For such a small device, the noise cancelling is out of this world. There is no need for me to set the volume above 40% because of the noise cancelling. Recommended buy

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Slim faulty chances Well.... It's been a month and a half since I've been using the buds, and to be honest, some times it doesn't work as well as I expected. The right ear bud is kind of faulty some times. The music producer is sometimes laggy and there was once I'm experiencing stuttering from the bud. But other than that, there's nothing else to complain about the noise cancellation and the sound quality. Thanks sony

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good ANC TWS i have ANC over-ear headphones and know/appreciate how they work. was curious how ANC would work for TWS earbuds and now am impressed with ANC feature on the WF-1000XM3. while the earbuds themselves are great, am not sure if i can say the same for the Sony Headphone app. initiatives on the apps are great but relevance and usability is questionable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor fitting ear tips The sound quality is good but the silicone or memory foam ear tip do not fit well. My ear canal get quite oily & ear tips get falling off. Sony should come out with after market ear tips with wings for better fit

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bulky casing + battery life The casing is bulky, not supporting wireless charging, the fully charged battery can support ~4hours of playbacks.. Still have room for improvements.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best True wireless headphones, so far. This is the best true wireless headphones you can get. The noise cancelling is great, however it requires you to get a good fit of the headphones in your ear canal, and this isn't a problem with the many included eartips. With similar branding and name as compared to the WH-1000X mk3, I went in expecting equivalent sound quality but was let down when the music was not as crisp as I hoped. These are still the best sounding True Wireless headphones I've ever had and I would pick it any day over the over ear headphones for its convenience and portability. The charging case is a bit large and doesn't fit quite nicely into my pocket and there are no volume controls on the Headphone itself, you must control it from your phone. Other than that, I love this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great earbuds! I bought these about 3 months ago and absolutely love them. The sound is rich and clear, and the noise cancellation excellent. I have other latest earbuds by Klipsch and Master & Dynamic, and overall, this is the best and the best value for money too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great noise cancellation Love it! The only downside is that there is no way to control the volume using touch controls. Sound quality and clarity is good. I am mainly using them to listen to audiobooks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great ANC and Great sound! Love the earpiece so far. The sound is beautifully balanced. Vocals and instruments on the earpiece is excellent. ANC works well provided you find the ear tip with a proper fit. Battery life great, yet to deplete the battery before placing it back into the case to recharge. I do dislike the materials of the casing though. Prone to fingerprints/scratches and smudges. Overall this earpiece is here to stay.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Small size great feature I was looking for a pair of noise cancelling headphone but I dread to drag it around with its bulky size. I finally decided on Sony noise cancelling earphones with its full features, compact size and excellent battery. After using it almost everyday for 4 months, I love it more and more.
