Reviews Sony Hi-Res WH-1000XM3, black

put on, turn on and. Quiet: D

Sound muffled and blending in? Either the reviewer has a really crappy sound source or he's deaf as a post. The sound, on the other hand, is excellent because it is true, even, everything is just right. Just get a phone that isn't a complete ham and has aptX or better yet LDAC from say A Momentary Lapse by Reason by Floyd, and if the person in question can't hear the great presentation there, there's no point in talking about the sound.

For a long time I had planned to get the predecessor of these headphones (2nd generation), but in the end I thought I would get these 3rd generation headphones because I already found some reviews on the internet that they are better. So I can't compare these headphones with the WH-1000XM2, which I only tried for a while in the showroom at Alza. After learning all the options and features that these headphones can do (plus through the mobile app), I can say that these are the best headphones ever for me personally (and I've tried a lot of high-end headphones). They are very nice, although the surface of the shells is easily covered with fingerprints or even scratches. They are lightweight, very comfortable. The ANC function is absolutely top of the market. The sound quality (excellent when playing high quality FLAC), the DSEE HX function also superbly improves compressed mp3 files. The headphones fold up nicely and hide in a nice case. However, there are a few negatives: short audio and USB-C cables. Slightly slower response to commands on the right clamshell. Inside the left shell I find less space than on the right, so my left ear is touching some kind of foam.It's quite confusing and makes me adjust the headphones all the time. My ears get a little heavy when I put the headphones on. The bass is clear, but sometimes too boomy => fortunately I fixed it with the equalizer. On the whole, the negatives are rather small things and it's always a matter of habit. For me 90%

Great headphones for traveling! I used them on the plane and thanks to Noice Cancelling I could not hear the surrounding noise and enjoyed the music without interference. At bedtime, we turned on NC and it was quiet - unreal. The price really matches the performance.

I got these headphones instead of the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro. I was choosing between: Sennheiser PXC 550, Bose QuietComfort 35 II and just the 3rd generation Sony. I find the Bose a bit more comfortable. The sound is very good despite the BT connection. Compared to those Beyerdynamic headphones, I find them too overbassed, but that's just force of habit. A lot of people have complained about the poor sound quality when used as a headset with previous generations. As far as I've tried, the call has always been trouble-free. Ambient noise cancellation is great. Simply putting on the headphones and turning on the NC suppresses most of the ambient sound. I can only hear the muffled voices of people. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the charging cable, which is only a few centimeters long, and the long firmware update, which took over 20 minutes. On the other hand, it won't update that often and I can use the charging cable from my macbook: )
