”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.

Great headphones
I bought these instead of the pixel bugs I was planning on getting and boy am I thankful I did.
The noise cancelling is brilliant and I love that I can set locations where the setup is different, for example on my commute I can have the noise cancelling set differently at the stations than it is in-between so i can still hear the announcements

play back time is not as it is advertised
head sets with one charge has to last up to 8 or at least 6 hours of play back of music, but in my case without any use of ambient sound or noise canceling and app it doesn't last more than 3,5 hours. one headset unit charges up to 50% then the other is 100% and I have placed them to charging unit at the same time. Then it comes to the issues that I have faced and I bought it just a week a go right from original box, all the rest design, sound quality, or other feathers makes fore me any sense.

Great sound but stops every now and then
I tried these for one week and initially was very happy with them: sound was fantastic, they fitted good, although a bit heavy. But every now and then they stopped for 1 or two seconds which was very annoying. It mostly occurred in for example supermarkets or other stores. Outside is happened less often. But for this reason I returned them.

Amazing Noise Cancelling
I ah w has these about one month. The ambient sound is superb. Changes the noise cancelling depending what your environment is and even remembers your places too. The app that accompanies the headphones is really simple to use. Yet another quality product by Sony.

Some good features, others not so good
I have had these for about two weeks. The sound quality is very good as is the Bluetooth linking with my smartphone. Less good is the retention in my ears. I have tried all the sizes of the inserts and none of them is very good, although the largest is marginally better after I have made it wet (which shouldn't be necessary) - they are just too big and the extension into the ear canal is relatively too short. They keep falling out and I am afraid that one or other may go
down a drain in the street or into the washing-up water at home. The ability to advance to the next podcast is not an advantage because it is far to easy to do, and it is a pain to try to get back to where I was before inadvertently touching the right-hand ear-bud (to try to screw it more firmly into my ear, again and again!). I have not formad any opinion of the noise-cancelling; it seemsc to me to make little if any difference. Poor value for money.

Great sound but left one falls out
Great sound but if Sony can’t provide a replacement bud to make the left one stay in my ear they’re going back…
Have tried every one of the different sizes and types provide in the box and nothing will make it stay in.
The largest silicone one lasts for 5 - 10 minutes before it drops to the floor.
If I get a satisfactory resolution I would change my recommendation.
