Sony WF-1000XM3 Review – Short words

Sony WF-1000XM3 review: They are great noise-canceling wireless earbuds with 24 hours of playtime. The Sony WF-1000XM3 also has smart listening which is adaptive sound control automatically to ambient (based on activity). Besides, these Sony earbuds also come with quick attention mode, wearing detection that automatically pauses/resume the song and voice assistant. They are also very comfortable and fit for the ears with six additional earbud tips in various sizes. The touch control scheme can change via the companion app.

The WF-1000XM3 is one more superb noise-canceling headphones from the giant company. These flagship TWS buds pack punch with a noise-canceling performance that efficiently quiets, ambient noise, be it gossip at a tea shop or a plane engine.

Firmware updates are available through Sony’s free application, making these a very smart long-term investment. Let’s see Sony WF-1000XM3 review, if there are still worth it and how buds stack up against the likes of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 and Apple Air Pods Pro.

Sony WF-1000XM3 Review – Design and Build Quality

Sony WF-1000XM3 Review

So, first things first, the charging case and buds deviate from the usual design and size that we see in most wireless buds. You get a large case for the buds – the big size is on account of a large battery. The case comes with a matte feel, and the lid of the case has a copper finish with Sony branding on the peak.

When you open the case lid, a red LED shows along with LEDs inside the buds. As the buds are take out, the red LED light, changes color to blue.

The bud cannot be called small in any way. We assumed they might be difficult to carry, but to our delight, that was not the issue. Sony says it has utilized the tri-hold system that fixes the buds at 3 points of your ears.

But does it means there’s no space for air to pass through? We notice the grip was fine but did not block air. Despite every bud weighing about 8g, they might look heavy at first, though; you would not even realize they’re there when you wear them.

In fact, they’re one of the most comfortable buds we have tested. Also since they’re not too small, they provide a fine grip and don’t fall off simply. You would not have to push them in thereby avoiding irritation.

The buds have a matter feel with a dedicated circle of touch controls. You can customize control commands through Sony’s connect application.

We loved the touch response, it didn’t lag and was not over sensitive also. In all, what seemed inconvenient to the eyes turned out to be fully different when we experienced the device.

Sony WF-1000XM3 Review – The Sound With Excellent Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds

The buds have several features that listeners would love, the first being ANC. Sony has utilized this what it has already aced in its buds. It felt as if we were using headphones not buds when we played a few heavy tracks.

High-end true wireless earbuds pack Sony’s HD noise cancelation processor QNI and double noise sensor feature. We loved the fact that ANC could be adjusted via the app. Besides, the power usage is also very less if you fix it to the lower side.

The Sony WF-1000XM3 buds also support the virtual sound enhancement engine HX feature which upscales sound files to enhance their resolution. This can truly lift the experience since most of us listening to songs on streaming applications and YouTube in which the sound is not very high.

The audio is bass-heavy, as is normally the case with Sony items, and you can play with the equalizer on the connect application to change it. The 6mm driver works well with the overall setup.

Another amazing feature is its support 360 degrees sound. What is more, there’s adaptive sound control, which alters the sound mode based on your location. We utilized that for part and home, and it was pretty handy how it turned to different audio modes.

Talking about the audio codec support, the Sony WF-1000XM3 does not support APTX Sony’s own LDAC codec. It supports only AAC, and SBC, but with DSEE HX support, you would not miss every detail.

Sony WF-1000XM3 – Fit and Comfort

Sony WF-1000XM3

In terms of fit and comfort, the Sony WF-1000XM3 buds inspire confidence. Cleverly twisting into place, completely secured by the built of your ear, they feel solid and reasonably comfortable (let’s face it if you are never going to wish to spend the full day wearing in earbuds).

Most importantly, they do not feel as though they are likely to drop out you bop down the street and these are simply earphones to live with – just chuck the case in your pocket and you are fine to go.

A huge selection of non-slip rubber, as well as foam bud covers, are supplied in the package, so it is worth experimenting to find one that provides the finest comfort and fit.

Battery life

Earbuds with charging case - 30 hours

When it comes to battery performance, the Sony WF-1000XM3 edges parts its opponents the Air Pods as well as Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 with around 6hrs of power on each charge. If you forgo ANC together, you can claim back another couple of hours but where would be the enjoyment in that?

The case has a fast charge mode. Plugin for 10 minutes and you will get another ninety minutes of juice – ideal if you need a fast boost before the flight and charging case charges over type C in about 3hrs.

Sony WF-1000XM3 Review – Final Verdict

All in all, after the detail of the Sony WF-1000XM3 review, it might be costly, but the fine ANC feature makes it simple to justify the buds. Sony’s tri-contact system keeps the buds in place, without any discomfort. One huge drawback is the absence of best quality codec support – no LDAC or APTX, though the DSEE HX processing major facilities clear sound. If you wish the best of what TWS buds have to offer, get these.
