Sony WH1000XM3 Noise Cancelling Headphones, Wireless Bluetooth Over the Ear Headset – Black (2018 Version)

Great noise cancelling and the sound is rich and full. When I want to zone out the sounds around me these headphones get the job done. When I listen to music on Amazon high definition streaming these headphones really pump out some awesome sound. I recommend these headphones for everyday music enjoyment. Good base, clarity and full sound stage.

This review is specifically for those who are choosing between the QC II and this product. I tried the QC II for a couple of weeks and was honestly underwhelmed. They were tuned very well to achieve the neutral studio tone for music, and the ANC was alright. The downsides were that the app was incredibly underwhelming in features (no eq adjustment or really any control over how your headset sounds). Also the headphones would constantly get firmware updates which would break certain features for a time, including the ANC. Lastly, the bluetooth range is terrible, and music would stutter from time to time. So I returned them and bought these bad boys, and Im in love. The material used to make these feels slightly cheaper than the Bose, but thats about the only downside I have for them so far. The ANC is AMAZING, the sound is much more full and completely adjustable via the app. And speaking of the app its great. It lets you set custom eq profiles, adjust the level of noise cancelling while walking, sitting, running, or traveling, and a whole lot more. Also there have been some critiques of comfort. Ive worn these for three full work days now and have no complaints. Maybe the Bose were a little bit more comfortable, but overall I havent had any issue with these.

Great product. Thank you, Sony! Noise Cancelling works perfectly in flight. No problems to the product and seller. Bought it after thorough research with Sony strong competitors and never regret.

These headphones are awesome. The only issue I’ve had so far is that the touch controls on the side of the headset don’t always work on the first attempt. Other than that, they are spectacular.

The best headphones I’ve purchased in this price range!

I have two other high-end headphones, and Sony 1000XM3 is certainly the best in the group based on sound quality, comfort, and noise cancellation. However, unfortunately, Sony is also the only one that suffers from a rediculous flaw that could be a huge inconvenience to some people. The issue is you have to jump through hoops to switch connection between paired devices. For example, if you turn on your headphones, they may automatically connect to your phone. Then, if you want to connect your headphones to your tablet or laptop, you will need to turn off your headphones first, turn it back on while holding the power button for 7 seconds to initiate the pairing mode again, and connect your headphones to something other than your phone. Lets say you watch something on your tablet, and now you want to connect your headphones to your phone. Once again, you need to go through the power off, on, pairing process all over again! Alternatively, you can disconnect the headphones from the first connected device by disabling the Bluetooth on your device. As I mentioned, this is a huge hassle, and it defies the logic that Sony 1000xm3 suffers from this problem while no other high-end brand (and not even cheap generic brands according to their customer reviews on Amazon) seem to have this problem.

These Sony headphones are excellent... a must-have to focus at work at my home office.

I really like these and they work great. Batter life is really good and they have lasted me several hours watching video and listening to music. Using just the noise canceling they last even longer. Nice fit and I dont have a problem wearing them for hours at a time.

If I could give this a half a star, it would be a solid 4.5 out of 5. I’ve own the Bose Quiet Comfort and I agree that Bose makes a great product, this is the first Sony headphones I’ve purchased and the reason was for the active noise cancelling capabilities. I take the train into work for my daily commute and it significantly cuts down on the ambient noise, especially when listening to music, movies, podcasts, etc.

I love them
