    purchased not sure what to expect from apple airpods. New level of experience. Very long battery. Can be frustrating because of size if you're running errands. Not really meant for that.

    Cancels out EVERY NOISE AROUND YOU! It’s sleek, nice matte black and is by far the best quality headphones I’ve purchased. Glad I did, the speaker feature when you want to hear someone talking to you is a nice touch.

    Move over Bose, the Sony Wh-1000XM3 has just taken over as the “BEST”! The Sony’s are more comfortable super easy to use and set-up. I used Bose for years, but these are hands down the best! I would buy them again!

    After testing both, Sony and Bose flagship headphones, I had to pick these based on the fact that while NC was on par with both, Sony's sound quality and app flexibility made this the best choice for me :)

    These headphones are easy to use. They come in a nice compact case. Used them initially on a plane and the noise canceling was very good. Have not yet used them for music but I am looking forward to it.

    This is a great pair of noise cancelling headphones. Definitely better than Bose QC35ii. Quality of music playback is also very good as it supports aptx, aptx HD, aac and LDAC. And extra points for USB C charging.

    The New King of Silence

    Last year a friend of mine came over with his new Sony WH-1000XM2 and immediately began to extol the virtues of the Sony over the Bose QC35. I had never heard Sony's noise cancelling headphones, but I certainly didn't expect them to be in the same ballpark as the Bose. Bose had been the undisputed noise canceling headphones for some time and I had never really given that a second thought. While I still preferred the Bose, the Sony XM2s were very good and I could see why my friend liked them so much. Here we are a year later and Sony has dropped their third generation of the WH-1000 headphones and all I can say is they nailed it. The new Sony WH-1000XM3 are an absolute 'must buy' if you are in the market for some wireless, over-the-ear, noise-cancelling headphones. They offer 30 hours of playback time on a single charge and based on what I have experienced I believe them. They are lightweight and seem very wheel built. While not as light as the Bose QC35, the difference is nearly imperceptible with long term use. They offer moderate clamping force which keeps them on your head and snug, but not to the point of causing a headache. The ear cups are cushy and soft which means long term listening shouldn't be an issue.. The Sony offer an outside audio passthrough mode as well so that you can talk to someone with the headphones still on which is always a nice to have. The sound is skewed a little hot and can get a little bass heavy, but for me that isn't a negative as so many headphones today lack 'energy'. Still a better aural balance than some of my past Beats headphones. I would argue the Bose are probably more balanced, but not nearly as fun to listen to. That being said,Sony does offer an iOS and Android app that allows you to tweak the EQ to dial them in to your preference. The app also has an Optimizer that will dial in the sound based on external noise and atmospheric pressure. That is something you can't do with the Bose. The real star of the show is the noise canceling. It is bar-none the best I haven't heard. When you put them on you are immediately transported into silence. I haven't had a chance to try them on a flight yet, but I am looking forward to it. I am not saying they are leaps and bounds beyond the Bose, but they are better. Period. The only real negative I have are the touch controls on the right outer shell. Yes they work, but are neither super intuitive or responsive. I find I have to take multiple swipes at times to get volume changes and I have an even harder time pausing content. Not a deal breaker by any means, but I am hopeful that Sony further refines this in their next generation. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM3 are the real deal and successfully claim the noise canceling throne from Bose. If you have read this far you are just wasting time. Just buy them as you won't be disappointed.

    I got wf-1000x before because I don't want to wear big headsets like this since I wear glasses. But this one feels comfortable, can continuously wear hours and I am happy with its long battery life.

    Although they cheaped out on the XM3 overall exterior parts compared to the predecessor models, I am really satisfied with my purchase. Hands down one of the best noise-canceling headphone out there.

    These things are great. super noise cancelling and the ability to just touch the right ear side and it pauses so you can hear what is going on, ie the flight attendant taking your drink order. 100% recommend.

    I love these! They sound amazing and he noise cancellation is great. My only gripe is that they get a little warm on those longer listening sessions. My previous Bose did not. But it’s worth it.

    These headphones are simply the best in the market. Superb noise canceling and the hand gesture technology (for volume up-down, next track, pause) makes then unique and sets them a part from the competition.
