Must Buy noise cancellation Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony WH-1000XM3 is a masterpiece!! It has a superior sound quality and outstanding noise cancellation. I have used various other headphones but have found this headphone to be significantly better than the rest on the market. The headphones have a nice cushion on the top and the ear pieces are well cushioned providing that extra comfort for ears and head , when you need them for the long travel .I have used them in airplane and they cut out the noise significantly , that you can’t even listen to literally anything with about 60 % of volume. For normal use, volume level of 15-30% is considerably good and cancels out the normal noise level. The headphone has 3 options to select; noise cancelling, ambient sound, and ambient sound off. The best part of the headphone is you can turn of the active noise cancellation momentarily by just placing your palm on the right-side ear cup - Sony calls it "Quick Attention”. The headphone has awesome touch controls, where you can control volume and change the music, just by sliding the fingers on the right-side ear cup. It is also compatible with the Google Assistant and Alexa; you will just have to configure it via the Sony app. The Sony app is outstanding (don’t go by its rating on the Appstore). The app gives you that extra control for the headphones. It allows you to turn on the adaptive sound control, where in the headphone adjusts the noise cancellation level depending upon the environment you are in; standing, walking, transportation, etc. to give you a better feel of surroundings depending upon the situation. The app has great equalizer settings which considerably changes the music listening experience depending on the genre and your liking. There is no app for the MacBook, however if you turn on the noise cancellation via the mobile app and then connect the headphone to the MacBook or laptop, the noise cancellation works just fine. Having that said, the headphone has only one trivial issue with Bluetooth when switching between multiple devices. You will have to disconnect the device where the headphone is connected first, to make it work with the new device. Just disconnect via Bluetooth setting, don’t unpair! The microphone had some issue earlier with people hearing my voice as distorted over call but seems like that was fixed in one of the software updates, as I don’t have that issue anymore and the microphone sounds clear. Overall, the headphone is great to listen to music, be on conference calls, connect to iPhone, MacBook, windows laptop etc. The Bluetooth signal is strong enough to work with great coverage even when away from the phone. The headphone is equipped with the Fast USB-C charging and charges headphone like in 10 minutes for almost 4-5 hours capacity. The noise cancellation is outstanding and even when "no music" is playing, it blocks out almost more than 50 % of surrounding noise. The headphones are comfortable for long hours due to its perfect cushioning and ear cup size. They don’t get warm as it happens with some of other headphones. Once you get used to "Quick Attention" feature, you will never want to leave it. Lastly, since I last bought it almost a year ago, it has got more than 2 software updates, so Sony at least keeps on updating the firmware as well. The headphone comes with a very sturdy travelling case. Must Buy for people loving music and noise cancellation!!!

Best Over-Ear Headphones of 2019
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first day I bought these headphones right as I got in the car I took them out the box and they had alot of battery for me to test them! You can manage the bass however you want! The quality in the music does not fade at all with these headphones!!! Sadly I got alot of stuff stolen and my headphones were in my bag which I was going to make a video review to show people exactly what I was speaking on. Point is DO NOT SLEEP ON THESE HEADPHONES! Drop the thoughts on any other headphones *Seriously* I do not have an actual picture of them but I do of my receipt in case Best Buy can cover me.

Phenomenal
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had these for almost a month now and here’s what I think: BUILD QUALITY: both sturdy and flexible; feels premium as you would expect from Sony. 10/10. SOUND QUALITY: these are no joke. Highs, mids, and lows are all well balanced. Hip-hop will be very slightly on the bass side but it’s not over powering.10/10. ACTIVE NOISE CANCELING: best ANC I’ve ever experienced hands down.10/10. DESIGN: they are comfortable, convenient, and they look great. Comes with a hard case and a lot of accessories. 10/10. PRICE: it’s a steep price sure, but it’s worth it. $349.99 full price and $299.99 when they’re on sale. You get what you pay for though. Sony did a phenomenal job with this product. 10/10. If you can afford these, get them. You won’t regret it!

Best sound and comfort!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went into the store determined to buy the sky blue beats that were on sale, but I’ve always loved Sony products and was really interested in their options. I spoke to a couple of staff members in the area who were very helpful, before choosing these. It was the week of thanksgiving, so both were on sale. The beats display doesn’t really work for comparison and is extremely frustrating when trying to put on the headphones. I had to contort around the display and barely had enough slack to put them on my head (not enough slack to accommodate someone 5’6” - please figure out a better setup). They were actually too big for my head and wouldn’t stay on at all. The Sony display was easy to access and provided a better experience for trying them on - the band had a slightly oval shape (which fit my head perfectly). Very comfortable on and impressive sound. Most impressive is the noise-canceling feature. It’s so effective, that I can sit in silence beside my three Great Danes while they bark their little heads off. I’m prone to severe headaches and don’t do well with in-ear styles - and don’t like anything on my head, especially around my temples. These are soft and well-padded and have been comfortable to wear for a few hours at a time. They’re pretty secure on and have made my yard work and exercise more enjoyable. I’ll definitely appreciate them on my next flight. Excellent carrying case design and long battery life. Wish there were other color options, but these are perfect for my needs and have a great sound. I haven’t even used all the built-in features and am completely satisfied. Highly recommend!

Welcome to Sonyverse. Better than Bose and Beats
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the world experience.Added this to my Sony collection. XM3 is a great improvement from the XM2. I’ve had the XM2 for more than 4 years now and still sounds brand new. XM2 is great at handling bass and eases anything heavy without any distortion. But the XM3 has surpassed that with ease. The clarity has improved with clear vocals too. Just mind blowing to see how better these can get every time and Sony has worked very hard this time too with ease of use, better build too with staying over the ears better and with weight. The sony headphones app is a major advantage to improve the quality of sound. Takes down the Bose and the Beats in side by side comparison. Proud to own another Sony product.

The new Noise Cancelling King is here
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was in the market for noise cancelling headphones as using the Bose QC 15 for a long time. Was comparing the QC 35 v. 1000XM2 in late mid august. Read a couple of early reviews which pointed to a new and fabulous offering in XM3. Went to best buy to check it out on 2nd Sep. Realized there that it was not in the stores yet. Reached home and ordered online. Received on 7th Sep have been enjoying them since. Awesome battery life. Great music quality. The app makes nifty personal adaptation to make the experience superior. But the best part is the vastly improved noise cancelling. Sony has beaten the ball out of the park. Enjoyed it on 8 long haul Newark Phoenix and back flights and the battery still has some juice left. The long battery life is backed up with super fast charging. The only downside is that without the Bluetooth the headset switches off and you have to make that modification on the app to let it be on. That and the need to shut it manually when off ears are something that the Sony engineers need to work on in the next version and if possible provide it by software changes rather than new version

Asked by PapaDon.
- A:Answer I have found the call quality to be excellent. There is nothing these headphones don't do well. The people I have spoken too can't even tell that I am on a Bluetooth call.
Answered by Kotor29
Q: QuestionI've read that an USB ac adapter is required to charge the Sonywh1000xm3 and it isn't included with headphones....Is this true? Had my Sony's charging all night and it didn't charge using a regular USB port on my TV....
Asked by TazMarc69.
- A:Answer A powered USB port is required to charge these headphones. A USB C cable is included. The reason your TV didn't charge the headphones is possibly because the USB port on some TV's are not powered, or not powered sufficiently to charge a device. I would try another USB port on your TV, if it has one. If not, in my experience virtually any powered USB port will charge these headphones.
Answered by Kotor
Q: QuestionI am considering buying the xm2 so why should I consider buying the wh xm3 instead???
Asked by jackie.
- A:Answer These are much better and worth the extra $50 or however much the difference is at the time of reading this. The sound quality is better, the ANC is 4 times better, and they are much more comfortable. Plus, they charge with USB-C and have quick charging that gives you 5 hours of playback for just 10 minutes of charging.
