Awesome sound and great fit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m skeptical about in ear buds but with several different types and sizes of tips it was easy to get a great fit! The noise canceling feature is great and you can pause at a touch. Switching devices was easy as well.

The Best. Period.

Next purchase will be the over-the-ear SONY model. The sound characteristics are wonderful, and these have the best noise cancelling in prosumer gear I’ve ever heard. Highly recommend.

I would recommend this to a friend Unfortunately not good for phone calls
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these twice hoping that they would work for phone calls, and both times I was very disappointed. I used it (or attempted to) for approximately 12 hours of work call. The worst problem was inconsistency - same setting and same environment would result in varying microphone quality. When it worked, it worked flawlessly and when it didnt (at least 50% of the times), I got complaints of my voice being garbled, under water, choppy, etc. Sometimes during the middle of the call left ear bud would disconnect and reconnect. Both pairs had same issues and I checked Sony's instructions and guides but nothing fixed those issues.

Not compatible with Windows 10!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was thrilled to see the excellent reviews of these new wireless headphones from Sony. I planned to use them for my phone, laptop, and tablet. Setup for the phone was quick and easy, and the sound quality was everything people said it would be. But that's where the enjoyment ended, because after a frustrating couple of hours trying to connect them to my tablet (a Surface Pro 6), I discovered by looking through far too many forums that these headphones aren't compatible with Windows 10 devices! How is that even possible in 2019? $230 for a pair of headphones that won't connect to Windows devices? Come on, Sony--you can do better. Even most of the cheapest wireless headphones on the market work with Windows. I'm incredibly disappointed, and will be returning these for a refund.

They're Alright
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound good and I personally like how sleek they look, even though they stick out off my head quite a bit. They lag and disconnect frequently though, and the battery life feels shorter than advertised.

Posted .Hi ADHDisordered,
While we're happy that you like the incredible audio quality and sleek design, we're sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with the headphones. 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 and reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones, we recommend to 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.
The communication between the devices will be poor if there is an obstruction between the unit and the connected device. As a suggestion, you may try setting the Sound quality mode to Priority on stable connection (via Sony Headphones Connect app) and see if it resolves the problem. Also, check that the headphones are running on the latest firmware version. The software includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements.

Best wireless ear pods on the market
