@@LukeDogg20 I have them and I'm very happy with them. I love them to death! My ONLY gripe is that the phone call audio is the worst I've ever heard. And the thing is I can hear the other person on the phone clearly, but on their end it's horrendous. It's bad enough that multiple times I've had to turn my bluetooth off just so the other person can hear me. I've seen similar complaints from others and youtubers who reviewed this also. Other than that, it's a great product.
@@LukeDogg20 I definitely like these for going outside compared to the wh1000xm3 as they dont make your head sweat, I've gone for hikes in Australia heat 30Celsius and no issues (probably not the smartest as sweat could possibly damage them) and i also use them for riding motorcycle under the helmet, great ear protection from loud noises. As the other reply to your question I've also had phone call quality issues..
The best thing with it is noise canceling. He's kinda exaggerating. It gets uncomfortable if have them long time. Also the battery goes down pretty fast. One thing I like about is the app making bass op.
They just released a firmware update. Before you could only use the Google Assistant, now it can use Amazon Alexa AND you have an option to CONTROL THE VOLUME! I love it!
Is this correct that the new firmware gives you volume control now? I’ve watched a whole bunch of these reviews and you’re the first to say the new firmware allows volume control. Is this true? Thanks
Had these for a couple of weeks now. The sound quality is amazing, and with all the new firmware updates, these things are KILLER! With the latest firmware, the call quality is no longer bad... it's actually very good! Plus you can also control the volume from the buds themselves if you choose to via the app. So many features packed into these earbuds. I'm so happy I went with these over the AirPods Pro.
CEO of Sony: “We need a name for our newest product” Head of naming things at Sony: Throws wireless keyboard down the stairs CEO of Sony: “It’s perfect”
Most of Sony electronics are named like that. The name makes perfect sense. They arent selling to a mass market, they are selling to business people who need noise canceling for their long flights. Much like the headphone counterpart. WF1000mx3 translates to Wireless Freedom Mark 3 (since its the wireless freedom version of the headphone version 3).
I been through a lot of earbuds. Either I didn't like the sound or comfort or battery life or looks. But the second I took these out the box I was blown away. These sound better than my Bose car speakers. At work everyone went crazy over these buds. These are classy. I'm not returning these for nothing.
What's your phone? If it's the iPhone definitely AirPods, the microphone on the Sony is trash, every other company has shit microphone other than Apple, however if you wanna listen to music alone, then the Sony.
I owned the Sony’s for a month plus then got the airpod pros and got rid of Sony’s. Except for sound quality (which is good but AirPods aren’t far behind) AirPods are better in every single way. And a much better buy
@@molarrr how are the airpods a much better buy when they cost more and they are worse in everything else apart from call quality 😂,you apple sheeps are jokes
I just got my pair today. I'm sitting next to a noisy air conditioner and a noisy PC. When the music is on, I hear nothing outside of my own ears. They are perfect. And BTW, the volume control feature has been updated with a firmware update. As of July 2020, you can make one of the buttons for volume control. It's intuitive and simple.
I have them for 2 months now. They are amazing. Pros: ambient sound let's me hear people when I'm at the office. Noice reduction, works really well, not the same as an over ear, but if you have media playing you wont be bothered. Sound quality, it's just good, better than any other I ve tried. Cons: not water or sweat proof, I dont exercise with earbuds but if i wanted I couldn't. Phone calls, sometimes people on the other side of line hear more of the ambient than my voice, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Overall the best I ve had the chance to test (on S8)
Just because they don't have an official IP-rating doesn't mean that they can't handle a bit of sweat. So if you don't go jogging for an hour in a sauna, you'll probably be fine :)
@@olivierolivier6513 Yes, I've been working out with them for the past 6 months. And the only complaint I have is that when my ears get a bit sweaty, they have a tendency to start sliding out which is very annoying. Also running with them is a nightmare, so don't even try that! If you work out a lot, then I'd get the WF-SP800N. Actually thinking of selling these and getting them myself!
I recently bought these for plane flights and bus rides, and they are absolutely amazing! Can’t recommend them enough! Much better sounding than AirPods pro
They’re great for listening to music & noise cancellation. 10/10 in those departments but what kill these for me is their microphones. You literally can not have a phone call without someone tell you that you sound choppy and robotic.
I can't believe that Sony is sponsoring something and also that you are the first reviewer that talked about the automatic change in noise canceling thanks to the sense engine ,I have been using that for one year now on the WF-1000X
Over all perfect for me.. before I was having like 4 hours sleeps but now I am using this as a sleeping buds to cancel the noise from the surrounding and I got like 7 to 8 hours of sleeps... And the sound quality is exceptional.. I am very satisfied with my purchased.. thanks sony!!!
Thank you for uploading this video! I've been on the fence with these earphones and was surprised you did not make a video,but now that you did I am for sure going to get them! Great job!
I have had these since July when I bought them in Fukuoka, Japan. The sound quality is excellent (I love how music sounds on them) , the build and design is quality and classy. I definitely agree with you about a great design. The app to control them is really nice, and the ANC does a decent job of dampening the sound. The right bud control of the google assistant works well too. They are definitely a 9/10 for me.
Cool video! It will be very interesting to see an AirPods Pro and these Sony earbuds comparison by sound quality, noise cancelling feature and wearing comfort. I'd be happy to know which one is the best.
I bought these 2 months ago and love them!! Definitively the best true wireless earbuds to date. .... Until recently, I just got curious about another earbuds, the Anker Liberty 2, which I bought from Best Buy when it was on sales for $89. Here's the fun part. The battery life on these 2 pairs are the same. The battery life on both charging cases are the same. Both got USB-C and magnetically hold the buds for more security. But, the Liberty 2 case is half the size of the XM3 case. Therefore, the reason for having extra battery may not relate to why Sony use a bigger case after all. Another fun part is that even though the XM3 has noise-canceling but when I tested them side by side, the Liberty 2 can block just about as much noise with only passive noise isolation. And that with just provided silicon tips. When I used comply foam with the Liberty 2, everything seems to disappear. Sound quality is another thing. When I used the XM3 for the first time, I was so impressed because it sounded almost as good as my old Bose Sound Sport Free. Unfortunately for Bose SSF tho, it doesn't conceal any surrounding noise at all so a lot of times I couldn't hear it and that's why I started to use the XM3 more. But, with Liberty 2, I've just found another pair that can truly surpass Bose in term of sound quality. The bass of the Liberty 2 is just out of this world. I felt like I was carrying a subwoofer in my ear. The mid and high are very clear I can feel all the instruments and vocal pushing forward. One more thing that I like is that both these earbuds can be used independently between left or right buds. I love this feature so much because I'm always feel more comfortable with my left ear more than my right. Unfortunately, all true wireless earbuds from last year only use right bud for master so I couldn't use the left side by itself. Now, I have the XM3 and liberty 2 for that. One thing missing from the Liberty 2, however, is transparency mode. In order to hear the surrounding properly, I have to take one earbud out. Not so convenient compare to the XM3. But at the same time, the XM3 is not waterproof while the Liberty 2 has IPX5 rating so it's better for gym. Nothing's perfect I suppose. In the end, I still love my Sony XM3. But if anybody asked me now, I'd ask them whether or not the noise-canceling and transparency mode is important to them. Otherwise, the difference between $230 and $89 for 2 very similar products is obvious.
Sony's sound better and have more features and better noise cancellation for music listeners, however the mic sounds bad (like every other one in the market other than the AirPods) so phone calls are gonna be an issue. And if you have an iPhone the AirPods are just convenient. This is more for Android users.
I got this 2 weeks ago and i almost never use my pxc 550 anymore, i can hear more sound detail and bass in my head, and it even had great stage, i don't have any regret buying this wireless earphone
I guess we have forgotten about the millions of people who have sweated their ass off in the headphones of the past that were manufactured with zero thought going into moisture resistance. Those headphones operated perfectly fine for years.
They’re not even great for running man. I’ve constantly had to fix the fit every time I’m at the gym for leg day. These are NOT meant for exercise and movement. Maybe for just listening and walking but not for running or training whatsoever. I don’t approve of these buds at all. I’ve had many issues with them as well. The Sony app for them is shit and full of bugs as well.
Just picked these up last week. I was ready to drop $$$ on Airpod Pros, but they weren’t instock so I got these instead. Glad I did! They sound GREAT! Acrive Noise cancelling is what I really got them for and these are just as good as my Bose over the ear phones. I did have issues with people hearing me during calls, but since I dont spend much time talking on the phone, this doesnt bother me.
Got mine in early August. Right earbud stopped working 2 days ago. Nothing from sonys website helps. Normal use, no sweat damage, or anything. Fing livid. Hope every one else has a way better experience with theirs
It's so strange. When these first came out there were hardly any videos, Sony waited until the Airpods Pro dropped to get all the videos out. I get it sort of, but they had a couple competition free months and they wasted it.
@@thethiccdonut5257 you're right, but if you have an iPhone the seamless experience with them I think makes them better. Just my opinion but as someone with a Samsung I'd pick up the Sony's.
Nejc Rebolj Yes, dipshit. I own an 11 Pro Max, so I gravitated to trying the AirPods Pro first, but their audio quality is mediocre at best and there is no integrated volume control which is a deal breaker for me.
Wonderful video, I've had mine for about month and I have recommended these to at least 10 people. When asked....I always start with the sound separation which is remarkable and end with noise cancellation....which is on a about planet. Just buy these; you will not be disappointed.
If you're looking for true wireless prime audio quality. There are better options than these. They sound good, for sure, but they don't come close to a pair like Sennheiser's Momentum True Wireless, for instance.
@@Aiii83 There is no better option for earbuds, and bluetooth is never gonna sound as good as wired, os audiophiles go for wired headphones I guess (at least I do)
I've just ordered these to pair up with my Wh-1000XM3s. I'll use the over ears whilst commuting and the need for stronger noise cancelling is needed, and the in ears for exercising, walking etc.
Please ,Sony sponsoring something is a miracle tbh 😂 ,the review is fair ,only thing is he didn't talk about call quality which is the only weak point of the earphones 🤔
kanna mustafa But it makes you wonder if he would have mentioned call quality if he wasn’t sponsored. Think about it like this, Sony basically gave him a big pile of money to review the product and he knows if he gives it a negative review they will be less likely to do it again so he is going to be much more positive than he would be otherwise so he can get another sponsorship. And that kind defeats the entire purpose of a review if you can’t actually trust the reviewer to be objective
These are so awesome. But if I were wearing them, I would be terrified. See, the other day I was just taking off my anti winter stuff on my head and one of my earbuds fell out and landed on the street, just as the uber arrived. Nonsense like that actually happens very often (them popping out and me trying to grab them anime ninja style) It's one thing if I broke or lost an 80 dollar ear bud. If I lost a half of the WF1000X M3 I would be upset. Other than that, I really do want these. But for the same price you could buy two sets of very decent earbuds and have 24/7 ear bud listening bliss. For the "average consumer" i think the idea of listening to music all day long without waiting for charge time is going to win out at the end
Having ANC will protect your hearing to some degree as you won't need to turn the volume too loud is hear the music when in a noisy environment. People tend to turn up the volume of their music to compensate for the loud/noisy environment they are in which can damage their hearing over time. Although the wf1000xm3 are quite pricey in my country, I'd spend the money for a pair.
That's because Sony has a waterproof sports version with active noise cancelling. Why make an average Jack of all trades, when they can make specialised buds for audiophiles and those who want to use it for sports and gym workout.
Can we please take a minute for the high quality from this video. It's crispy.

I guess we have forgotten about the millions of people who have sweated their ass off in the headphones of the past that were manufactured with zero thought going into moisture resistance. Those headphones operated perfectly fine for years.
@@thisiserich Precisely.... You don't need to get an IP rating just to be sweat proof man.... You just can't submerge it underwater THAT'S ALL.
@@thisiserich mate in australia you sweat your ass off just walking outside
They’re not even great for running man. I’ve constantly had to fix the fit every time I’m at the gym for leg day. These are NOT meant for exercise and movement. Maybe for just listening and walking but not for running or training whatsoever. I don’t approve of these buds at all. I’ve had many issues with them as well. The Sony app for them is shit and full of bugs as well.
Thank you for finally making a video of this!!
Name of that beat that’s 🔥🔥🔥 good video
That charging case looks like a weird shaped Duracell battery.
😂😂 "i have funny shaped ears" you aight tho. your videos are lit
Upgraded from some JLab go airs and got these baby’s used for $70, and they’re so so nice
Just picked these up last week. I was ready to drop $$$ on Airpod Pros, but they weren’t instock so I got these instead. Glad I did! They sound GREAT! Acrive Noise cancelling is what I really got them for and these are just as good as my Bose over the ear phones. I did have issues with people hearing me during calls, but since I dont spend much time talking on the phone, this doesnt bother me.
He should check out
Oppo reno ace Gundam edition
It looks soo good...
Mine fall out of my ear a lot! I feel like I need wingtips but I haven’t been able to find any compatible with these earbuds! HELP!!!
Change the tips, bigger or smaller.
mine used to fall out, switch to small and boom perfect fit
ItsMrDante I switched to all sizes
Ismail Zeitoun I tried all sizes! Over time the fit loosens and they fall out! I definitely can’t work out in them!
Yeah i have issues with my left ear
I’m so happy you made this review, I feel like this earbuds are a little bit under appreciated
Got mine in early August. Right earbud stopped working 2 days ago. Nothing from sonys website helps. Normal use, no sweat damage, or anything. Fing livid. Hope every one else has a way better experience with theirs
I have these. Love them. But I'm honestly waiting for someone to test really how much water damage can it take... Someone? Anyone?
WH =Wireless Headphones
WF =Wire Free
Firmware update v2.0.2 enables us control volume. A short tap raises volume and a long press lowers it. We can assign it to either side
Amazing review. Watched him for the first time and he convinced me to buy these.
Airpods Pro gets released
Sony: SPONSOR ALL THA VIDS
Did you try the Airpod Pro vs this? If not yet, please try it then back to this :) Im talking about the sound quality
It's so strange. When these first came out there were hardly any videos, Sony waited until the Airpods Pro dropped to get all the videos out. I get it sort of, but they had a couple competition free months and they wasted it.
I'd say they're the best truly wireless earbuds for Android. Whereas the airpods pro work for the iPhone.
Na these are better than AirPods
LightSpeed im sure you’ve tested airpods pro already right
@@thethiccdonut5257 you're right, but if you have an iPhone the seamless experience with them I think makes them better. Just my opinion but as someone with a Samsung I'd pick up the Sony's.
@@thethiccdonut5257 Unless you want to make a phone call, good luck with the Sony
Nejc Rebolj Yes, dipshit. I own an 11 Pro Max, so I gravitated to trying the AirPods Pro first, but their audio quality is mediocre at best and there is no integrated volume control which is a deal breaker for me.
The latest software update gets you volume control on the headphones and battery level of the case visible on the app. I love them
Wonderful video, I've had mine for about month and I have recommended these to at least 10 people. When asked....I always start with the sound separation which is remarkable and end with noise cancellation....which is on a about planet. Just buy these; you will not be disappointed.
I have these but I fell asleep with them in and now I can't find the right ear phone and I've looked all over my room😭 I don't understand
did u find it
For sec I thought they are made by duracell.
Black and copper.
Been rocking these for a year now. Love them
I have to agree with the design, the rotation really locks these things in
UrAvgConsumer: *uploads a video*
Everybody: "average consumer?" 🤔
This is really an audophile product , which is great because we buy these for music right???
Just don't buy it for the microphone, have to return it because it's annoying to switch back to my phone every time a client calls.
If you're looking for true wireless prime audio quality. There are better options than these. They sound good, for sure, but they don't come close to a pair like Sennheiser's Momentum True Wireless, for instance.
@@wyw201 That's pretty much any truly wireless earbuds I have tried other than the AirPods
@@Aiii83 There is no better option for earbuds, and bluetooth is never gonna sound as good as wired, os audiophiles go for wired headphones I guess (at least I do)
@@itsmrdante6274 Yeah, I'm sticking with my wired earbuds most of the time because of the mics
Was going to buy these but I really want the volume up and down feature, I hope it comes in a future update!
I've been using them for about a week and I love them. Best pair of earbuds that I've ever owned.
Everything is super great appart from the price! 🤣
What's the name of the background music🔥
I've just ordered these to pair up with my Wh-1000XM3s. I'll use the over ears whilst commuting and the need for stronger noise cancelling is needed, and the in ears for exercising, walking etc.
Love ear buds/headphones! The Sony M3’s are fantastic. Great features/fit/sound. Best ear buds I’ve found
I find it really hard to trust a review from someone who is being sponsored by the company that makes the product they are reviewing.
That too months after it's launch just to compete with Apple.
Then watch other reviews that aren't sponsored by Sony.
I recommend watching flossy Carter's review of these
Please ,Sony sponsoring something is a miracle tbh 😂 ,the review is fair ,only thing is he didn't talk about call quality which is the only weak point of the earphones 🤔
kanna mustafa But it makes you wonder if he would have mentioned call quality if he wasn’t sponsored. Think about it like this, Sony basically gave him a big pile of money to review the product and he knows if he gives it a negative review they will be less likely to do it again so he is going to be much more positive than he would be otherwise so he can get another sponsorship. And that kind defeats the entire purpose of a review if you can’t actually trust the reviewer to be objective
These are so awesome. But if I were wearing them, I would be terrified.
See, the other day I was just taking off my anti winter stuff on my head and one of my earbuds fell out and landed on the street, just as the uber arrived. Nonsense like that actually happens very often (them popping out and me trying to grab them anime ninja style)
It's one thing if I broke or lost an 80 dollar ear bud. If I lost a half of the WF1000X M3 I would be upset.
Other than that, I really do want these. But for the same price you could buy two sets of very decent earbuds and have 24/7 ear bud listening bliss. For the "average consumer" i think the idea of listening to music all day long without waiting for charge time is going to win out at the end
I was at newark penn station everyday from 10th to 16th of november.. don't tell me you were just casually walking around one of those days!?
I’ve been waiting for this video!!
Saw the title. I knew it’s sponsor
Sony needs to fire whoever is naming their products
Truly the most elaborative review I have seen on the internet. Cheers keep up the good work 👍
Having ANC will protect your hearing to some degree as you won't need to turn the volume too loud is hear the music when in a noisy environment. People tend to turn up the volume of their music to compensate for the loud/noisy environment they are in which can damage their hearing over time.
Although the wf1000xm3 are quite pricey in my country, I'd spend the money for a pair.
The fact that it isn’t water resisted sucks tho
That's because Sony has a waterproof sports version with active noise cancelling. Why make an average Jack of all trades, when they can make specialised buds for audiophiles and those who want to use it for sports and gym workout.
WF-1000xm3: exists
Airpods Pro: *I fear no man, but that thing... it scares me
eh, no

Its decided, im getting one of this, thanks uravg, always so helpful
I got my pair day 1 release, I think they are amazing for how small they are and sound outstanding.
sadly its not waterproof, i was about to buy these
Why, you wanted to swim with those ?

Crazy how they added volume controls
