Likeable
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not the best noise cancelling. Took some effort to find the ear cushion that fit me properly. Good sound; good phone quality. One drawback is that only one item can be paired at a time. And to pair it to a new device, you must first turn off the WiFi on the current device.

Best ever for music... phone calls not so much
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well they sound amazing. They have 5.1 or “3d sound”. Certain YouTube videos take advantage of this. Haven’t found much more though. The mics work a little too well they pick up all background noise especially when driving. The noise campus on par with Bose.

Bulkier than the competition
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not fit well no matter what insert I used. Not a good design, and very bulky. Sound quality was great, but didn't get a chance to use it for calls, which was the main reason for my purchase. Fit pretty much turned me off. Didn't like the app.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, amazing noise isolation, but the Bluetooth can be finicky. Bonus, the earbud tips are interchangeable with the Beats tips. The Sony’s largest tips are too small, the Beats tips go larger and thus creat a better seal (for me).

Didn’t keep
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn’t keep them... bought them before a long flight to Europe. They’re too heavy to keep in your ear, and constantly fall out. They did a great job of cancelling noise, but need some type of arm to wrap about the ear or something.

We’d love to help you troubleshoot your problem. The WF-1000XM3 has a new Bluetooth chip and an optimized antenna design to provide a stable connection for hours of wireless streaming.

Posted .Hi Koreanthunda,
Thank you for sharing your experience so far using your new WF-1000XM3 headphones. We regret to learn you're experiencing some issues on your WF-1000XM3 with the battery life and noise canceling doesn't work well. The noise-cancelling function is effective in low-frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Although noise is reduced, it is not completely cancelled. To ensure optimal performance with noise canceling, as well as to obtain the best fit and prevent the headsets from falling out. Please 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 available operating time of the unit, the usage hours may be different depending on the settings and conditions of use. Also, when the Equalizer function is used, the playback time will be shorter by about 45% at most. (ref: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm3/v1/en/contents/TP0002289868.html).
Thank you for your feedback! -Jess

The best in-ear noise cancelling you can buy.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best earbuds you can buy with active noise cancelling. Not quite as good as the sibling cans you can buy from Sony, but really good. Case is a little larger but it is easier to find in your bag. Buy these and you won't be disappointed!

Connection Loss is Big With This Product!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When they are connected they are great, maybe the best out there. But put them down for 5 minutes or even try an initial connection and they are the worst headphones by far! I have had to re-pair them MANY times just to get audio to work and cant even say how many times I had to disconnect them and re-connect just to get them working agin. Loss of audio even when they work happens at least 3-4 times while listening. Which I do not understand as all their other bluetooth headphones work without a flaw. I have many to compare too. I am wearing WH-1000XM2 headphones and are the best period. These earbuds are by far the worst at keeping a committed connection to a devise. Seriously I took the leap into them as I thought reviewers where to critical .... NO they cant keep a connection!!! So disappointed at Sony. Come on your better than this!!!!
