Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The my fit well once you pick the right tips. The noise cancellation worked really well for any outside noise. The audio transparency also works great for hearing things around you when you need to be aware and still want to listen to music. The charging case charges fast and isn’t too big.

Posted .Hi Matt, we're glad you like our product. For the noise canceling function to be fully effective, select the earbuds that fit your ears the best, and wear the headset correctly. SONY provides different sizes of earbuds to obtain the best fit and prevent the headsets from falling out. The earbud will be easier to slide deep into your ear if you pull up on the top of the ear lightly while twisting the headset. ~Earl

Bad fit.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the AirPods Pro I wanted to like these. Sound was great for music. During phone calls it would often beep like it was dropping connection for a second before reconnecting. Also, I could not achieve a good in ear fit regardless of the tip used and they would fall out.

These finally work.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Finally, an ear bud that really has ANC that works. It took much wasted money to finally get to these. I wish I could have afforded the top of the line, but these do the job when I am on my mower, helping to save what hearing I have left.

Posted .Hi JeBe,
Thank you for taking the time to review the WF-1000XM3. While we're glad you like the sound quality, we're sorry to hear that you're having issues with the Bluetooth connectivity. We have taken note of your issues. Customer feedback is important to us because it helps us improve our products for the future. Thank you for sharing your experience. The communication between the devices will be poor if there is an obstruction between the unit and the connected device. Try the following:
• For Bluetooth connection issue: The WF-1000XM3 has a new Bluetooth chip and an optimized antenna design to provide a stable connection for hours of wireless streaming. To ensure you get the best Bluetooth connection, please set the headphones Bluetooth Connection Mode to “Priority on stable connection”
-Change the position or location of the unit or connected device.
-If the connected device has a cover on it, take it off to improve the communication distance.
-If the connected device is in a bag or in a pocket, try moving the position of the device.
-Place the devices closer together to improve signal transmission
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm3/v1/en/contents/TP0002289921.html
• Signal interference may occur when a Wi-Fi device is in use near the unit if they both use the same 2.4 GHz frequency band. To resolve the issue, try the following:
-Turn off the Wi-Fi function of the connected device.

-Use the unit as far away as possible from a microwave oven, ticket gates, other Bluetooth devices, or places that generate electromagnetic radiation.
• If the issue still occurs, please make sure that your headphones are running on the latest firmware version. The software includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements.
Hope this information is helpful.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't say enough about these buds! They're worth every penny.

Solid headphones
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A step down from their newer product in terms of noise cancelation and battery life no wireless charging which ain't really a deal breaker But having it and using it with a wireless charging pad does make it easier to charge. good product if you want to save money and you don't want to go for the newest one with a higher price tag.

Sony In ear headphones... Best sound all in all.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably some of the best I've had. Better sound that Beats and even a bit better than my Master & Dynamics. I like the M&Ds because the lock in to my ears better, but the Sony's are a close 2nd on that, but the sound is superb as well as the noise canceling. Very happy.

Greatest Earbuds
||Posted .

Work easily, lightweight and sound is fantastic. My only problem was the earbuds hurt the inside of my ears and putting on the smaller size did not change that. I guess I have weird ears.

Posted .Hi Marilyn99999,
Thanks for the 5-stars rating and sharing your experience so far with your new WF-1000XM3. We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the lightweight and overall sound quality of the unit. We value your input and appreciate the feedback. 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. For more details, check the link below.

Great on sale, hassle to use.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound quality, but using it is a bit of a hassle. Touch controls dont even come close to my Pixel Buds, and they use a clunky separate app to control most of the features, but the audio quality is great. Noise cancelling is really quality stuff, though I wish I could make the passthrough a lot louder.

Posted .Hi IHAAAAZ,
Thank you for choosing and purchasing the WF-1000XM3 True Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones.

Follow the steps below to isolate the issue.
- Using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, you can customize the Equalizer setting and change the assignment of the functions to the touch sensors of both the left and right units . For example, the music playback function that is assigned to the touch sensor of the right unit in the factory setting can be changed to the touch sensor of the left unit.
Note: You cannot operate the touch sensor when not wearing the headset. If you change the setting on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app so that the headset does not turn off by the automatic power off function by wearing detection, you can operate the touch sensor even when not wearing the headset.
