So Long BOSE!

Never thought anyone could surpass the Sound Industry Leader Bose. Boy was I surprised! If there was ever a company who could do it, SONY's the one. After all, "Sony Smashed The Music Listening Industry When It Provided A Label For The Worlds Leading Recording Artists"! Nobody knows sound better than they do. These WH 1000Xm3 headphones scream "High Quality" right out of the box! Talk about paying attention to listeners needs, "Sony Set The Bar Way Up There" for envious followers to reach for. "GOD LUCK"! The easy to download and pair Sony Headphones Connect App makes getting right to the business of immersing yourself in the sound recording session of your downloads a simple "Tap-Connect-Hold Onto Your Seat- n Enjoy Heaven as we imag...

Good Audio, Headband Plastic Failed

I purchased these about six months ago for traveling, and really enjoyed them. However, since spending more time at home due to COVID, I've started using them for frequently (e.g. 2-3 days a week). The plastic on the headbands is of extremely poor design, and has completely fractured.

    Great sound with bass

    I bought these headphones for noise-cancelling feature to avoid the sound during metro travel. But, it's truly been an amazing experience listening to movies on tv. I can hear rich small details which we would rather miss on tv sound. Enjoying the true cinematic experience with these headphones has been incredible. There were touch controls issues during cold climate conditions. I would really like to see Dolby Atmos feature in the near future.

    Keeps the screams out of my head

    I fly international mostly where there are few babies crying. Domestic travel is a different story. Babies crying. I put these on and I still hear the baby but almost not at all. They are good, but are too expensive for what they are. I only had them a few months and the color, silver\tan, started to come off. I used them after I bought them in October 2019. Since then I used them once at home. I cannot figure out why the color is fading. These are a bit above average but the color coming off is below average. Dinging them 2 stars for aesthetics. The non-tactile volume\pause\play button is a problem. Using a swiping motion on the ear cup to pause, turn up, play is difficult. One swipe at an angle and you're on to the nex...

    Incredible for music but bad for phone calls!

    These are the perfect wireless ANC headphones if you want to listen to music. Would not recommend these headphones if you also plan to make phone calls. The call quality is horrible for the person you're on the call with, plus your own voice echoes back to you as you are talking. There are no settings available to fix this either on the headphones themselves or on the Sony headphones app. As soon as you make a call, there is a static sound in the background and your voice can sound echoed to the listener. If you google this, it's a common problem with the WH-1000XM3s. Apart from the phone call quality, these are probably the world's best ANC(active noise canceling) headphones if you want to listen to music. Lots of options to customize how ...

    Excellent Sound Quality BAD DURABILITY

    These headphones have amazing sound quality, connectivity features, and no nonsense operability. The issue I encountered was the build quality is flimsy on the hinges. I’ve used these at an average of 2 to 3 times a week for 2 to 3 hours taking transit for 5 months. I was just using the headphones this afternoon lying on my bed (45 degree recline if that even matters) and then I felt something graze the back of my ear like something fell off and then I saw chips of plastic. I quickly inspected my headphones and saw that it came from the hinge plate that’s in between the foam headband and the ear cup. I inspected the other side and saw that the other was also coming undone and it had a crack already. It seems like there’s stress forming on t...

    Brilliant

    Nearly 15,000 listening hours on this set of headphones. Best investment I've made in my life. And I can only imagine what the future holds beyond the next two models that are out.

    Horrible

    I just got them today, horrible hissing sound in the left headphone, like if the wind was blowing. Searched around on internet for a fix but it appears that it's a common issue that is only repairable by changing the entire pair of headphones. Anyway, I would be glad if somebody had a quick fix for it before returning them and buying the bose 700 ( at least they work, I prefered the Sonys but... )

    Headphones sound amazing but break way to easy

    I bought my first pair of these 4 months ago and where the two pieces of the hinge connect together snapped. I was so upset because there amazing pair I brought a new one. 2 months later today I go to put the new pair on and hear a loud snap, the same part broke. Don't get me wrong these headphones are the best pair I had and I've gone through 8 different pairs of headphones but just disappointed on how easy they broke. I decided to super glue them because I don't have the money to get another pair.

    A gem!

    When Sony Ericsson split, my attachment to Sony died. Sony trailing behind competitors in terms of features and implementation made me never want to come back. I tried to justify my actions by trying out headphone from different brand to see if i could find a superior audio quality elsewhere, but all attempts ended up with disappointment. I love Sony's sound signature, bass is birth right and they're the best in bass. The 1000xm2 sound so good, the combination of sound frequencies produces a very rich and fantastic sound. Details are just flying everywhere around you, high is very crisp without being harsh, bass texture and heft is phenomenal, separation is excellent, voices are just wonderful , sound stage is big and very airy. Downloa...

    Excellent sound and ambient noise suppressor

    Dense, thick, enveloping and high-quality sound. Extremely comfortable sit on the head, very soft ear pads and comfortable headband, light-weight, work long in wireless mode. Perfect noise suppressor. What about cons - I would like to have an adapter for a full-fledged 1/4" Jack to use with an external sound card, but this one is not included in the box, and I cannot use the similar adapter from other ears, it does not fit, because the connector on Sony WH-1000XM2 is too short. As a conclusion: perfect headphones for each day wearing.

    Incredible

    This one of my first top of the end headphones and I would say that I'm totally impressed. Sure it was weird to have touch controls, but in a day, I have gotten really used to it. Touch control can be a little bit too over-sensitive at times, but it still is an incredible technology to feature in headphones. These are the headphones to buy if you're looking for the innovations and the noise cancellation.

    The CRACK is BACK

    The headband cracking issue is back in full force with these headphones! I am an office worker and wear these at my deskjob, and I've taken great care of these headphones, but nonetheless, the interior of the left headband cracked. Even though I used them in a proper and kind manner since purchase, the left side of headband cracked. Cracking is SERIOUS issue seen in previous models, and my Wh-1000XM2 was no exception. Buyer Beware!
