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

First off, Ill start by saying that the noise-cancelling feature on these headphones is awesome. I mainly bought them to use while Im studying. I just started going back to school again and I work full-time, so I need my solitude when Im trying to focus. These definitely help with that. The sound quality is also amazing. My favorite songs sound phenomenal on these. The frequency response is excellent. They even have a good amount of bass, though thats not what theyre designed for. I think theyre pretty comfortable as well. Sometimes I wear them for 4-6 hours at a time, when Im doing my coursework. Theyre fairly light and fit my head and ears well. I was a little skeptical about the touch controls on the side, but they work just fine. I havent had any problems with them. My only complaint about these headphones is that after the battery life has dropped 10-15% from a full charge, I notice a crackling sound in the right headphone, but only when the noise-cancelling feature is active. If I switch the headphones around, I can hear it on the left side. When youre playing music or watching a video, you dont really notice it, unless you have the volume really low. If Im watching a video lecture or instructional video, where there may be pauses in speech or dialogue, it becomes quite annoying. If you research this condition on the web, others have experienced similar issues and seems that not all devices are affected. Ive even tried updating the firmware as suggested on Sonys website, but its still the same. Perhaps I just got a bad set. These headphones would have easily gotten 5 stars if it werent for my issue. Hopefully I can get it sorted out.

The sound was good. USB type C is really good compared to Bose and the app is really good and steps ahead of bose again. Lack of physical buttons for volume is kind of annoying since the touch wont respond if you are wearing gloves and the like. I do wish there was a dedicated mute instead of double tapping to pause since i couldnt get that function to work with google music on my computer.

Very comfortable to wear, took them on a trial run to spain. And they performed as advertised. Battery life is amazing, a little over 16 hours with out a problem. Only down side is i have to get use to the touchpad.

I really love this Device

I loved these headphones and they worked really well. But there did develop some annoying sputtering noise in the left earphone, at 4 months of use. Sony is sending me a new headset, same model and I am hoping they last a bit. My credit card will add two years to the 1 year Sony warranty, and for the price paid, these need to last three years.

These headphone are a good investment if you want them to study and not get distracted by the environment noise.

Great headphones!

Tested them for a week but not extremely happy with the sound quality for that price. Bought a pair of Centrance Serene dB for almost half price and they sounded better and with a more clear sound. Bass ok but higher register not so clear. Dont like special cables either.

You will not be dissapointed by these!

These headphones work great.
