Disappointing purchase; returned.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these because of the abundance of positive reviews. While setting them up, I realized that I needed to download an app on my phone which was kind of annoying, as all of my other Bluetooth headphones have never needed to take up space on my devices in order to work. I decided to keep them anyway, with the intention of using them for work.. however the Bluetooth stopped working every 7-12 minutes and I had to re-tether to my Bluetooth. After several meetings where I went unheard and this became a running joke— I decided I couldn’t do this more than a couple of days and ended up returning them. I’ll probably opt for another pair of AirPods Pro, as I’ve never had an issue with those, I was just hoping to try another brand— but alas, Apple strikes again with a superior product.

Posted .Hi Proman, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience using your new Sony WF-1000XM3. Good to know that you like the comfort and sound quality of the headphones. We regret to hear about the issue you have. To activate the Quick attention mode or listen to ambient sound quickly, hold your finger to the touch sensor on the left unit. The Quick Attention Mode is activated only when you are touching the touch sensor.
It's also important to note that depending on the type and size of the earbuds you use, the Quick Attention Mode may not be fully effective. Also, if the headset is not worn properly, the Quick Attention Mode may not work correctly. Twist the headset to slide the earbud deep into your ear.
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm3/v1/en/contents/TP0002289888.html
You can also change the settings of the noise canceling function and the Ambient Sound Mode with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

We appreciate your feedback regarding the comfortability of this WF-1000XM3. 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.

We will surely take note of your feedback as we always strive to make this a better experience. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

Sony - 1000XM3 Great sound!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These "buds" are beautiful. They are simply packaged with the 2 buds, several extra ear tips, a gorgeous charging case and a usb-c cord. It's nice to have a usb-c - this will be universal soon and it will make life so much easier.... Not having to worry if it's upside down saves time and alleviates frustration! The only problem here for me is the cord is VERY short... maybe 5". Charging is simple... The pods fit nicely in the case and you plug it into a charging USB port. Pairing was simple... Almost automatic. There is a "button" in the middle of each bud that is used for the controls. A tap,double tap etc or a swipe to change volume, answer a call, allow ambient noise, etc. The ambient noise is fantastic...I want to be able to hear traffic when I am out walking or bike riding...I can block it out but I prefer to hear it. If you like noise cancelling, these work very well for that; they block out almost all noise. It's quite amazing. Also these come with Google assistant built in. A press on the left bud and you have Google in your ear. I am a Google person so this is a nice feature. Ok... The sound. I REALLY like the sound of these. Rich and full and clear. Not muddy at all. They seem to hit all the right notes for me... Crisp highs and nice full lows. Really the only concern for me is the fit. I have a hard time with this type of ear bud. I can't find a way to make them stay comfortably in my ears. They always feel like they are just about to fall out. These are pricey and I would hate to lose one! If you can get a snug fit, these are killer headphones. I would definitely recommend them.

Not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really not worth the money. They sound fine, but nowhere near what a pair of earbuds at this price SHOULD sound like. No bass, lifeless sound. I've had $40 pair of wired buds sound the same. The noise cancelling isn't worth it either. I returned them and bought the Sennheiser Momentum 2's - much much better.

Broken Out of the Box
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The right earbud was broken on opening the package. The LED flickers red erratically, doesn't turn on, doesn't charge, you can't pair it. The left earbud seems to be working just fine, but the right is completely unusable. Had these earbuds for a grand total of 1 hour before discovering this. And 55 of those minutes was just me finishing up my errands and driving back home. Absolutely do not recommend. So many people are complaining that they stop working after just a month or two. The only reason I'm glad I encountered this issue out of the box is that I know I'll be able to get a refund without having to fight over it. Taking these back to the store first thing in the morning and going to purchase something that ***isn't*** Sony branded. Absolutely horrible first-impression of trying to buy high-quality earbuds.

Posted .Hi Tyler,
We're sorry to hear the right earbud doesn't work right out of the box. We value your input and appreciate the feedback. It may be indicating that the remaining charge becomes low. The headset turns on when it is removed from the charging case (flashes twice). In this case, when the remaining battery charge is 20% or lower (requires charging), the indicator lights (red LED) flashes for about 15 seconds. Also, when the battery becomes completely empty, the headset sounds a warning beep, the voice guidance says, “Please recharge headset. Power off”, and the headset automatically turns off.
For reference, you can check various statuses of the headset by the indicator from this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm3/v1/en/contents/TP0002289866.html
Please note we have a customer hotline that is happy to assist you and help troubleshoot any concerns you have, and your headphones has a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase. We regret to hear that you're considering to return the unit.
We want to make sure you’re taken care of. May we contact you to help and get more information? If so, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:
