”Sony delivers true wireless excellence”. ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2020 award-winner.
Industry-leading noise cancellation
Featuring Sony’s HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e, the WF-1000XM3s take noise cancelling effectiveness to new levels in such small headphones. The powerful processor not only cancels more noise across all frequencies but also does so using less power – helping to maximise battery life.
Sound precision with DSEE HX and 6mm drivers
DSEE HX upsamples compressed music files, giving them a fuller, richer sound. Using tiny, 6mm drivers inside the earphones, the WF-1000XM3 delivers a rich, clear and enveloping sound with whatever music or speech source you’re listening to.
Fine-tune the sound with Headphones Connect
Get the Sony Headphones Connect app (available on Apple iOS and Google) and you can fine-tune the sound to exactly how you like it. Ambient Sound Control lets you decide just how much background noise you hear while the equalizer tunes the sound output to your exact preferences.
Adaptive Sound Control adjusts to you
Another feature available via the Headphones Connect app is Adaptive Sound Control. This detects whether you’re walking, traveling or stationary and then adjusts the ambient sound settings to suit – automatically.
Enhanced Bluetooth connection
The latest Bluetooth chip delivers sound to both earbuds simultaneously, rather than from one to the other. This improves the music’s timing and keeps the earphones precisely in sync with the music or speech – especially handy when you’re watching videos. For a speedy connection with your smartphone, the WF-1000XM3 also features NFC (Near Field Communication). Simply tap the NFC-equipped phone against the headphone’s case and it's ready to go.
Amazon Alexa and Google voice assistants
Using the built-in microphone, the Sony WF-1000XM3 headphones are compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google’s voice Assistant. Simply press and hold the noise-cancelling button and ask your PA a question. The touch sensitive pad also lets you communicate more easily – simply hold the pad to instantly turn down the volume with Quick Attention.
Extended battery time with the charge case
Charged up, these tiny earphones now give you up to 8 hours music playback, with NC off. Switch on Noise Cancelling, and the playback time is up to 6 hours. Supplied with a charging case, once your headphones have run out of power, pop them in the case and within around 1.5 hours you’re all charged and ready to go. You can charge a further three times, giving you the potential for over 24 hours of music.
Secure and comfortable
Featuring ergonomic tri-hold structures, these earphones make three points of contact with your ear for a comfortable and secure fit. The high friction rubber surface also help in keeping the earbuds snug and the outside noise out.
Connect to award-winning sound on the move, with the Sony WF-1000XM3.

Excellent earphones
After purchasing a mobile phone without a headphone socket, I decided to purchase these wireless noise-cancelling earphones because I already owned the WH-1000XM3 Headphones and knew that these would have the same noise-cancelling capability, build-quality, sound-quality and long battery life. These are excellent earphones in a beautiful case. I would say that they are quite large for earphones, but they are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time and give great quality sound.

Amazing sound but fall out constantly
They sound amazing and are great quality but they just don’t stay in! Tried all the sizes of tips but none fit my ears comfortably. To stay in while doing anything other than sitting still you have to really push them in hard, which is quite painful after a while. I’ve given up using them while walking or at the gym as they’re just annoying, literally start working themselves lose as soon as you put them in. Would have returned them but you cannot return in ear headphones! Should have gone for the proper headphones

good sound quality
Sound quality is good. But, the left one no longer works, no volume, the right one loses connectivity constantly, not great for being only a few months old.

Dated
These are such good earphones but they are showing their age now
Newer and, mostly, cheaper earphones have updated hardware and better performance

Good, not Great.
I normally buy Bose for my listening devices but this time I thought I'd give Sony a go.
You can tell just by the packaging, quality of the materials, how it simply connects with no fuss etc that its a quality product. Sound quality is good but not great. Its not as bassy as I'd hoped for, my genre of music is Heavy Metal so high volume and rich deep bass are a must and although these are good they are not great. Not loud enough and not bassy enough, for me anyway. Ive been through all the settings and equaliser etc and they are what they are I can only assume. Also one of the buds fell out while at the gym which shouldn't really happen but these don't come with the little hook that goes around the ear and I have tried all the buds that come supplied and the fit is good on the whole but they shouldn't really be dropping out.
The battery life I've found a disappointment also. Advertised as 6 hours from full charge. At the gym they died after just 2 hours. Because I have to have them at full volume I can only assume this is the reason but I can cope with that. Just take the case with you and recharge as and when needed.
Overall I am happy with them. Would I have purchased them knowing what I know now? Probably not, I'd have probably stuck with Bose.

Bought this a few months ago and already the right bud doesn't connect no matter what I've done. Will not be buying Sony again

Quality earbuds!
Bought these as an upgrade to replace another brand which had battery issues. Double the price of the previous sets but worth it. Quality sound, solid construction. Essential that you update the firmware though before use if you don't want connectivity issues! Nice change case Excellent range of ear bud sizes included. Comfortable to wear for long periods. Recommended.
