Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Earbuds review

True wireless earbuds still worth buying

Sony WF-1000XM3 review: true wireless headphones redefined with noise cancelling

They sound as good as Beats Powerbeats Pro but are more compact and add noise cancelling to boot

Amazingly good active noise cancelling (ANC) ; Top notch audio performance ; Handy 'Quick attention' mode

Not for workout use ; ANC more effective on the ground than on planes

Sony WF-1000XM3

Sony has improved upon the original WF-1000X in just about every way, although they're not cheap, the WF-1000XM3 is the new benchmark for true wireless earbuds.

Sony WF-1000XM3 review: Superb true wireless earbuds

If you're looking to block out noise and don't want to ruin the fro, nothing beats Sony's true wireless earbuds, the WF-1000XM3

Superb sound quality ; Fantastic ANC performance for a set of in-ears ; Stable wireless connection

Fit might not be suitable for all activities ; Lacks a sweat or water-resistant rating ; Large-sized charging cradle

The Sony WF-1000XM3 true wireless buds follow in the footsteps of their larger sibling, the WH-1000XM3 headphones. They are, quite simply, the best noise-cancelling earphones and headphones on the market. The earbuds offer a fun sound signature, a...

Sony WF-1000XM3 review: Wireless noise-canceling magic

We test out Sony's new WF-1000XM3 to see how well the noise-canceling works, as well as how the true wireless earbuds perform in general.

Enjoyable audio quality ; Active noise-cancelling works well ; Adaptive noise-cancelling feature ; Good app control ; Great battery life ; Relatively well-priced

Performance at both extremes could be better ; Doesn't seem to work as well with dedicated portable media players ; Both case and earbuds are bulky ; No wireless charging ; No sweat and water resistance

Sony WF-1000XM3 review: Still superb, but no longer unique

Sony's flagship true wireless earbuds are a true competitor to Apple's AirPods Pro. Now one year old, the WF-1000XM3 are still a force to be reckoned with.

Awesome sound and call quality ; Fantastic battery life ; Great noise canceling ; Compelling app-based features ; Comfortable fit

No water resistance ; A bit bulky

Sony’s impressive noise-canceling wireless buds kickstart a whole new genre

Sony WF-1000XM3 review: Simply the best true wireless earbuds

Sony's latest true wireless earbuds are its best so far. The WF-1000XM3 covers all the bases with ambient sound and active noise cancellation, and that's on top of audio profiles and a custom EQ inside its headphones app. For $230, these are one hell...

More affordable than most flagship true wireless earbuds ; Excellent sound quality ; Full-featured companion app ; Great battery life

No on-board volume controls ; Slightly awkward fit and look ; Bulky charging case

Sony WF-1000XM3 noise-canceling earbuds review

Sony's new $230 earbuds have one great feature that AirPods and other competitors lack.

Noise cancellation in a tiny package ; Excellent sound quality ; Classy, sleek look ; Lengthy battery life for true wireless earbuds

No sweat or water resistance ; Can only pair to one device at a time ; No wireless charging ; Can’t control volume from earbuds

Sony has announced the WF-1000XM3, the company’s latest true wireless earbuds. The $230 M3s launch in August and offer improved noise cancellation, better battery life, and a more stable connection.
