love these!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the color on these! They sound great even on wireless. They come with a free 3 month trial to HIFI services, (you get to choose which one). These services' audio quality are so much better than Spotify, and you can actually tell the difference when listening with these headphones. The noise canceling is amazing. I bought them since I'm in grad school and sometimes the kids are loud in the house and don't let me focus. I cant hear anything with these and am able to concentrate on my work.

Fantastic!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect version for the wh1000x series so far. Multiple devices connection and no latency. The improved noise cancellation is a little bit more effective on higher frequency. I really love the memory foam and the right pressure of the head band. Too high, uncomfortable; too low, ineffective noise cancellation. Something I need to say: it does get hot and uncomfortable after 1 hour, but this is the satisfaction you have to take for good seal and noise cancellation. Recommend this to people who haven’t bought 1000xm3.

The Review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Sony XB900. I heard great things about the XM series and decided to give them a try. To be honest, I'm not sure what the big deal is about them. Yes, sound is clearer and Noise Cancelling is better than the XB900. If you compare the Noise Cancelling to the Airpod Pros, they aren't near as good as Airpods Pros. The bass is there, but not as full or deep as it was on the XB900. In conclusion, if you'd like headphones with clear sound and above average bass, you can't go wrong with these. But if you are hoping they have a deep bass punch, I recommend looking somewhere else. Personally, I will be going back to the XB900.

Best Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. I am currently able to drown out some incredibly loud building construction without blowing my ear drums apart. My husband and I both bought a pair. I love the touch to talk feature that lowers the noise cancelling so you can talk to your partner, then just go back to listening to music, or watching tv. I have to check sometimes to see if construction is really still happening because it gets that tuned out.

Low background noise and good sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Work well to remove background noise. Requires giving up personal information like so many other products that should not need it. Volume adjustment is not the greatest system.
