Great earbuds that made for a great gift
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased these as a gift for my father, and he loves them. They’re his go to headphones most of the time now—he has a nice pair of Sony over ear headphones, but they can get too hot if he’s doing yard work or mowing the lawn. He’s been really impressed with the sound, and the noise cancellation works great. He has no issue using these while mowing the lawn. The build quality on these is very nice too. He has yet to have any issues with them.

Want to love them so bad
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound amazing!! I own the AirPods Pro, and Powerbeats Pro, and these by far have superior sound quality. The ANC is a notch above the AirPod Pro’s. However, I’m an Apple user.....iPhone 11 Pro Max and these have horrible connection issues. The music stutters, and the left ear bud would beep and pause for no reason. I wanted to love them so badly I exchanged them 4 times and to no avail I gave up. After some online research, I found these don’t like iOS very well! Back to the AirPods Pro as they are problem free!! Hope the next gen is compatible with Apple!

Not comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were not comfortable for my ears. I realize everyone has different ears, but these were not for me. Part of the problem is they are very large, they did not feel stable or supported in my ears and I tried all the different size tips. I also had issues with the connection. There were a couple times opened the case and they didn't reconnect, in fact I had to forget the connection and redo it to get it to work. I returned these and went with another brand.

Posted .Hi Cade,
Thanks for sharing your experience so far with your new WF-1000XM3 headphones. While we're glad to hear you like the ease of use and sound quality, we regret to know that you're having constant pressure on your ears after a few minutes of use. We also appreciate your effort on trying all the earbud tips that came with the unit.
For fit concern, the WF-1000XM3 features an Ergonomic Tri-hold structure design for a snugly and comfortably fitting. A high-friction rubber surface keeps the noise canceling earbuds snug and secure in your ear so they won’t slip out unexpectedly. This does also come with an assortment of earbuds in various sizes to ensure there is a great fit for all ear sizes. To ensure optimal performance, as well as to obtain the best fit and prevent the headset from falling out, 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. For detailed instructions on how to wear the wireless headset, please check out the link below.

||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I gifted this to my boyfriend because he worked around different machines. He previously was using AirPods but they don’t block out the sound so he had the volume the highest he could have it at, and still could not hear the song perfectly without background noise. As soon as he put these on, he couldn’t hear anything at work which made his day go by so fast. It’s a really good purchase!! We connected it to an iPhone

Sony's Price Point is incredible for this quality!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own every single pair of Bluetooth earphones sold by Best Buy. What I can't figure out is how all the high-end earphones cost $300- $350 and these drop for $220! From Sennheiser, Master/dynamics, Bang Olufsen even the Powerbeats at $250 still don't deliver what the Sony's do for $220. I really thought the clarity and richness of soundstage wouldn't be duplicated by any other brands but Sennheiser and Bang and Olufsen but it was duplicated and in some aspects, they actually beat them in in Clarity.
