Great of pure music
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best ear buds ever I’ve had jabra Bose and have heard others and Sony is by far the best with noise canceling and the heat through plus you get the Sony app which is awesome just kind of wish they were water resistant but that would take away from the sound I get the bass and treble and highs nothing is overbearing wish I would have picked them up sooner

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing sound quality. May be they are not very loud in full volume but after getting used to it, I am enjoying the product now. The charging case is little big to carry in the pocket. But if you live in the east coast, It’s cold most at least for half of the year and we can carry the charging case in our winter jacket pocket.

Better to go with XM4’s over these
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lots of ear fatigue and itching from normal to extended use. They are heavy and would fall out with normal movement or by looking straight down. The sound quality was really good but the noise canceling was just okay. Mic sounded bad but audio quality to the headphones were crisp. The XM4’s are a vast improvement on xm3’s and really dug the grave for their predecessor.

Posted .Hi Nagol,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience using your WF-1000XM3 headphones. While we are glad that you like the sound quality, we regret your experience with our product. The WF-1000XM3 comes in various sizes of earbud tips. To keep the headphones from falling out, please select the earbuds that best fit and wear them correctly for a comfortable listening experience. 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.
You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. You may need to lower the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while.

A firmware update to improve phone call quality for your WF-1000XM3 headphones is also available on our website.

The Best Earphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these earphones because I want a noise cancelling feature. These earphones do not disappoint. While I'm traveling on the subway everyday, it cancels out a lot of the noise from the train. It also switches from noise cancelling automatically when you set your personal preference. I would recommend these earphones.
