The new best earbuds
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my previous review of the Sony WF-SP700N headphones, I called them the best true wireless earbuds available. Sony has now improved on that product with the WF-1000XM3 model. My ONLY two criticisms of the 700s were the battery life - they were only good for 1 1/2 to 2 hours and often conked out mid-flight - and the fact that the noise cancelling feature would pick up and amplify some wind noise. The new model has addressed both of those concerns while retaining all of the features that make them best-in-class. They now claim 6 hours to a charge (with three more charges in the case), although I haven't had a chance to test that claim fully. I have, however, tested them in the wind, and I can verify that they are much improved. They still have access to the Sony headphones app, which enables you to select from various preset equalization configurations or even configure some of your own. The bass boost on these is incredible - nearly as good as the over-ear models. The on ear controls are the same, but instead of buttons, there are now touch-sensitive areas. One side will switch between noise cancelling modes, and the other provides music player or phone controls. You can also use that side to access Siri with a long press. (Supposedly also Google Assistant, but I tested on iOS). Sony also managed to take ear buds that were already light and make them slightly lighter, and the in-ear fit is a little easier and better. They also added the feature where the earbuds can sense when you take one out of your ear and will automatically pause your music. So, Sony took the best true wireless earbuds out there and made them even better.

Posted .Hi Trucker,
Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WF-1000XM3.
We would like to apologize if the unit did not meet your expectations. It's unfortunate that the unit had to be returned. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. As a suggestion, you may need to limit your headphone usage. Also, the design may not fit your head and/or ears. They may be too big, too small, or too tight. We recommend to try different designs and shapes to find one that fits comfortably.
We've also released a firmware update to improve the connectivity performance for your WF-1000XM3 headphones. We value your input and appreciate the feedback, it helps us improve our future products.
We hope that you will shop Sony again in the future.
Regards,
Jess

Posted .Hi Dee242,
We're sorry to hear the discomforts that you are having with the headphones. The WF-1000XM3 comes with different sizes of earbuds to ensure there is a great fit for all ear sizes and an optimal noise canceling experience. As a suggestion, to reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones, try to use the right size according to the size of your ears. When wearing them, please gently pull on the top of your ear as you twist the earbud into your ear. This should give you a firmer hold and better noise canceling experience.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have iPhone dont waste your energy. This set needs an app to get the most of it. But I spent most of my time trying to figure out the app instead of playing music and taking calls. You can't beat the native support air pods have. Its not a fair fight really.

Not what I expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned them the next day and purchased the Bose quiet comfort earbuds. For some reason the noise cancellation was not noticeable on these at all. The sound was great, easy to use and felt like quality items however ANC was the reason I made the purchase; they just didn’t deliver in that role.
