Reviews around product (4.03 of 5)

  • So if you are looking for great noise cancellation and wireless convenience, and are willing to live with mediocre music quality, the WH1000XM3 is a great product
  • Noise-Canceling 5/5This is by far the best product I've tried in this category
  • But let me tell you, Sony does not take responsibility of their faulty product and now I have a $350 piece of junk
  • Well at this point choice is yours dear reader, you can risk your $350~$300 to buy this faulty product
  • It's a great product with good sound quality and pleasant overall features

  • Really, really shocked that this headset comes so highly recommended.

Reviews around cancel (3.79 of 5)

  • The passive noise cancelling is better than my audio technica’s and the noise cancelling is as good as Bose
  • That is, I was concerned that if so much energy (and resources) were devoted to noise cancelling, that sound quality could have gotten lost along the way.
  • Great sound quality, great noise cancelling, long battery life, comfortable!!!Best of the best.
  • So if you are looking for headphones that have great noise cancelling, high comfort, and a good sound
  • The best sound quality and noise cancelling you can get from headphones.

Reviews around ear (3.57 of 5)

  • I chose these headphones after having an “on ear” pair that hurt my ears after wearing them for several hours
  • Crinkly/ static noise in right ear cup 4 Months into pretty light use of the headphones.
  • Ambient sound and noise cancelling features work just the way I had hoped, as do the touch controls on the right ear cup
  • The touch controls on the right ear piece are interesting
  • But the noise cancellation consistently bothered my right ear

Reviews around star (3.06 of 5)

  • I tried Sennheiser's similarly priced models and their noise cancelling had a noticeable impact on sound quality (tin-y).Battery life is great, and it charges super fast for a day's worth of battery (I'm talking ~10 mins to achieve that).Overall, I won't let the connectivity issues bring down my 5 star, because I love these things.
  • I like them and they work good with phone calls as well A+
  • and I found that the Sony wire was better quality and longer in length than the one that comes with the QC.- Easy to use straight out of the box - where as with the QC I had to fumble with it a bit before figuring out all the buttons
  • I’m not going to say that these sound nearly as good as most of my wired headphones, but for everyday-on-the-go-beat-them-up-with-ANC these are exciting.
  • The sound is great as well (remember, I'm not an audiophile) and I generally listen to pop, classical music, R&B, and modern instrumental

Reviews around crack issue (2.94 of 5)

  • (if you're wondering why I can't use that cable because it's micro usb and these headphones use usb c
  • I have not heard of any cracking issues, and the headband feels slightly stronger to me
  • The problem is that it’s heavier but the issue i believe is that it’s not evenly distributed which causes pain on my temple even for a short time.shame, because the sound is better and usb-c! in the end, though
  • USB C for recharge is better for me, battery life is a touch longer, padding on band is a little firmer, all good
  • These headphones appear to have cracking issues which I asked about, namely if they would be covered, according to a sony rep named Jay they would not

Reviews around plastic (2.62 of 5)

  • While I would love to give these headphones a 5/5 for their incredible sound and comfort, my problem ultimately lies in the flimsy plastic right above the ear
  • The Sony headphones do not have that cheap plastic smell some products do
  • USB C for recharge is better for me, battery life is a touch longer, padding on band is a little firmer, all good
  • And the touch controls work as well as you can expect them to work
  • But they are made of scratchy plastic, no Bluetooth 5.0, and they are uncomfortable.

Reviews around bite (2.46 of 5)

  • Having used the Bose on a long flight to Europe, I liked the noise cancellation but the comfort dropped a bit after several hours.
  • is slightly better sound and noise canceling, but bose is little bit more comfortable
  • But if I'm spending this kind of money on headphones I like to have it be a bit durable
  • Sony seems to be very focused on their innovative adaptive noise cancelling technology which, frankly, worried me a bit.
  • i love every bit of time i spend with it, music has much more clarity , it is super comfort with tons of features

Reviews around office (2.45 of 5)

  • USB-C instead of micro is a vast improvement
  • Can barely tell I work in a terribly noisy open-office plan, or that the old United 737 engines are loud as anything
  • I work in a noisy open concept office building and got a pair of cheaper, off brand noise cancelling headphones because I was in a budgeting bind
  • I feel like i am at a concert hall while working at noisy office
  • The problem is that it’s heavier but the issue i believe is that it’s not evenly distributed which causes pain on my temple even for a short time.shame, because the sound is better and usb-c! in the end, though

Reviews around volume (1.83 of 5)

  • Good quality headphones, visually appealing, good noise cancelling 70% volume you can't hear a snap of fingers next to your ear
  • With music playing at a moderate, comfortable volume (and the headset on full NC mode) I could hear my family talking around me and household noise (not a noisy environment)
  • Noise canceling is excellent but maximum volume is very disappointing.
  • The volume of the headphones dropped drastically when taking a call and the person I was speaking with couldn't hear me as good

Reviews around window (1.44 of 5)

  • even my loud window Ac unit
  • I live in NYC on the second floor with a noisy window unit blowing cool air right next to me
  • Put them away since I didn’t want to hurt my husbands feeling by returning them immediately but now regret that I missed the return window
  • But other wise I love these headphones other then that small complaint.
  • I don't know how they compare to the new M4's, but these do a great job blocking out my loud window fan, and the construction outside my house
