Sony WH-1000XM3 is a masterpiece!! It has a superior sound quality and outstanding noise cancellation. I have used various other headphones but have found this headphone to be significantly better than the rest on the market. The headphones have a nice cushion on the top and the ear pieces are well cushioned providing that extra comfort for ears and head , when you need them for the long travel .I have used them in airplane and they cut out the noise significantly , that you can’t even listen to literally anything with about 60 % of volume. For normal use, volume level of 15-30% is considerably good and cancels out the normal noise level. The headphone has 3 options to select; noise cancelling, ambient sound, and ambient sound off. The best part of the headphone is you can turn of the active noise cancellation momentarily by just placing your palm on the right-side ear cup - Sony calls it "Quick Attention”. The headphone has awesome touch controls, where you can control volume and change the music, just by sliding the fingers on the right-side ear cup. It is also compatible with the Google Assistant and Alexa; you will just have to configure it via the Sony app. The Sony app is outstanding (don’t go by its rating on the Appstore). The app gives you that extra control for the headphones. It allows you to turn on the adaptive sound control, where in the headphone adjusts the noise cancellation level depending upon the environment you are in; standing, walking, transportation, etc. to give you a better feel of surroundings depending upon the situation. The app has great equalizer settings which considerably changes the music listening experience depending on the genre and your liking. There is no app for the MacBook, however if you turn on the noise cancellation via the mobile app and then connect the headphone to the MacBook or laptop, the noise cancellation works just fine. Having that said, the headphone has only one trivial issue with Bluetooth when switching between multiple devices. You will have to disconnect the device where the headphone is connected first, to make it work with the new device. Just disconnect via Bluetooth setting, don’t unpair! The microphone had some issue earlier with people hearing my voice as distorted over call but seems like that was fixed in one of the software updates, as I don’t have that issue anymore and the microphone sounds clear. Overall, the headphone is great to listen to music, be on conference calls, connect to iPhone, MacBook, windows laptop etc. The Bluetooth signal is strong enough to work with great coverage even when away from the phone. The headphone is equipped with the Fast USB-C charging and charges headphone like in 10 minutes for almost 4-5 hours capacity. The noise cancellation is outstanding and even when "no music" is playing, it blocks out almost more than 50 % of surrounding noise. The headphones are comfortable for long hours due to its perfect cushioning and ear cup size. They don’t get warm as it happens with some of other headphones. Once you get used to "Quick Attention" feature, you will never want to leave it. Lastly, since I last bought it almost a year ago, it has got more than 2 software updates, so Sony at least keeps on updating the firmware as well. The headphone comes with a very sturdy travelling case. Must Buy for people loving music and noise cancellation!!!

I recently purchased the mark 2 version of Sony’s Premium Noise Cancelling Headphones, and those were pretty great but when they announced the new version I had to get it...and I am really glad I did! I got the black version because I think they look more subtle than the “silver” ones. The sound is amazing. Strangely they have dropped the amplifier from the previous version but to my ears the sound is noticeably improved, better bass and a more well-rounded and fuller sound. And the Noise Cancelling is definitely superior it blocks almost everything (at least as long as music is playing)...and the slightly altered design is definitely more comfortable and looks less “goofy” (although the ear cups are still a little big). Almost everything I have listened to has blown my mind, it sounds so good! The only draw back for me is when on the bus the vibrations from rough roads can cause some feedback sound in the headphones but it’s easy to lower the noise Cancelling effect or turn it off temporarily until I get off the bus. Also battery life is still great and I like that it now tracks the battery life more efficiently so it will read as a percentage (80% for example) instead of low-medium-high. I really can’t recommend these highly enough!

My all-around headphones...whether I'm out for a walk in the neighborhood, late night gaming, or just relaxing and zoning into the music, I cannot recommend these enough! I previously had the Bose QC headphones until they broke, but the performance and ease of use has made these Sony headphones a perfect replacement! The Headphones app is very helpful in fine tuning your fit in order to make the noise-cancellation as immaculate as possible and I have yet to run out the battery even after long listening sessions. The quality of these headphones will have me sticking with Sony for the foreseeable future!

The first day I bought these headphones right as I got in the car I took them out the box and they had alot of battery for me to test them! You can manage the bass however you want! The quality in the music does not fade at all with these headphones!!! Sadly I got alot of stuff stolen and my headphones were in my bag which I was going to make a video review to show people exactly what I was speaking on. Point is DO NOT SLEEP ON THESE HEADPHONES! Drop the thoughts on any other headphones *Seriously* I do not have an actual picture of them but I do of my receipt in case Best Buy can cover me.

Had these for almost a month now and here’s what I think: BUILD QUALITY: both sturdy and flexible; feels premium as you would expect from Sony. 10/10. SOUND QUALITY: these are no joke. Highs, mids, and lows are all well balanced. Hip-hop will be very slightly on the bass side but it’s not over powering.10/10. ACTIVE NOISE CANCELING: best ANC I’ve ever experienced hands down.10/10. DESIGN: they are comfortable, convenient, and they look great. Comes with a hard case and a lot of accessories. 10/10. PRICE: it’s a steep price sure, but it’s worth it. $349.99 full price and $299.99 when they’re on sale. You get what you pay for though. Sony did a phenomenal job with this product. 10/10. If you can afford these, get them. You won’t regret it!
