One of the best the wireless earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fit is great, they don't fall out as long as your not jumping around ecstatically. Sound quality is great. Better than any other wireless bud out there. But you can't compare it to an item since there wouldn't be enough power to do so if they were.

Better then Apple
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sounding. Fits and stays in place in the ear. Only detractor is the noise cancelling feature which works well in standard environments but doesn't adapt well in louder environments like mowing. I still give them a 5 though.

Uncomfortable, constantly falling out, overrated
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like these but I couldn't wait to take them out of my ear after trying them on all day. The second I put them on I knew these weren't the ones. Immediately I felt how loose and uncomfortable they were. Not once did it ever feel secure in my ear and by the end of the day my entire ear canal was throbbing with pain. I tried every single tip and not one of them worked. I am so, so disappointed in this product. I spent months researching into all the different types of earphones and zeroed in on these as they fit everything I needed: great sound, wireless, and stylish to look at. Sony really flubbed this one.

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

Decent
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is excellent. Noise cancellation works very well. However, the fit could be better. Feels uncomfortable after about an hour of using. Also, bluetooth disconnects and reconnects randomly. Overall, decent earbuds that could be improved with regards to comfort.

Posted .Hi SamBrit, We are glad that you like the sound quality and the noise canceling feature of your wireless headphones. Sony provides different sizes of earbuds to obtain the best fit and prevent the headsets from falling off. You may select the earbuds that fit your ears the best and wear the headset correctly. 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: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm3/v1/en/contents/TP0002392265.html.

Comfortable wireless earphones

Sound quality is great, and for audio books it is great. Choice of sound isolation, or letting you hear outside sounds. Good noise canceling when needed. Would buy these again.
