- The Sony WF-1000xm3 earbuds have some outstanding noise cancellation abilities, much like their bigger brothers: the Sony WH-1000xm3. But just how good are they overall?

this is like MKBHD's level of film production what the heck youtube!
i really know much hours are spent in making this video this is unfair and it pisses me off
Thank you! I'm not nearly as good or as experienced as Marques, but I appreciate the kind words all the same.
yeah I agree. I got MKBHD vibes watching this
The video editing is superb!
Doesn’t mater how good the “production” is. It’s still a paid video or at least I’d like to be paid in the future so I’ll will speak nicely about this very popular product. When you put them in the only thing that cuts the outside noise is that foreign object stuck inside your ears and only thought is why the hell I’m hearing that constant rustle.
People still think anything in life is fair. That’s cute
Your filming is really nice! Great quality, and nice review!
Thank you!
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!
Just subscribed.
Only watched 2 vids and I'm sold.
Production quality second to none.
All about the tech with insightful points and relatable examples that you don't get with the more "loud" tech review channels. Substance, yet subtle style
Thanks!
I love them. They sound absolutely great and a bit more forgiving than my other favorite, the Momentums, specially with older 70ties recordings.
Had them for about a week and LOVING them. The noise canceling is excellent to say the least.
The noise cancelling on mine barely works at all.
The WF-1000XM3's were never $300. Amazon has had them for $229.00 since day one. I know because I purchased one at that price on day one.
Canadian dollars.
@@macdee6040 RIP exchange rates
@@kristophercantu297 They're $229 USD since day one at my local Best Buy and are STILL $229 USD. On Amazon they are $229 USD but the silver ones are on sale for $198 USD right now.
@@gonshik now both of them are 150 and the wh are 250..someone needs to do an updaye video and talk about the price
Is this worth to buy ?
This is the best review on these earbuds so far! Great job mate! Thank you! 👍
One of the BEST headphone/earbuds reviews I've ever seen on CZcams! EXCELLENT !!!! Thanks for answering all of my questions I had about these earbuds before I watched your video review. Subscribed.
Thanks Mark, subscribed and enjoyed your review. I'm gunning for a pair of earbuds with ANC, and you've confirmed the choice for me. My use case for them takes into account the limitations you have identified. Kudos for the video quality as well.
Thank you Peter, hope you enjoy em!
This is one of the best reviews on these ear buds as I was a little confused with ambient sound n noise cancelling. Thanks 👍🏻😎🇬🇧
It's true, they loosen up mostly and you need to re adjust so they won't fall.
Hezekiah Angelo Daguio Depends on which tips you use
I've watched a few different reviews for these on CZcams and you are the only one to explain that the charging case is also a battery. Great review. Subbed!
I'm not even half way through your review and I have subscribed you deserve way subscribers. Andy England 🇬🇧👍❤️
Great video quality ma man, amazing job pointing out some of the inconsistencies. You earned yourself a sub. Looking forward to your future content
Great review, got them a few days ago, they sound fantanstic, nc is very good, also not a had a single issue with falling out, in fact i ride my bike with these for 2 hours and i never even touch them, so get the right buds and these are phenomenal
So according to you is it worth to buy ?
Great, balanced review! I ordered them yesterday. Looking forward!
A C I got mines yesterday vary worth but the app gets a little annoying but there great
@@lilstar3072 how is the call quality ?
Watching this review using Sony WF-1000XM3
How Do you find it in terms of comfortability and voice call?
Sound I know would we world class
@@shehryartariq007 comfortability is subjective. For me it's ok but for my friends who tried it, it won't fit in their ears perfectly. Voice call is terrible compared to other same priced tws but it's just ok. If you use your tws in calls, just buy other earphones
You can get them now lowest at 180USD if you're lucky in amazon
Your channel and production is second to none. Your taste in watches on the other hand....
Superb review and you've gained a new fan. I actually find them perfect for running. They never come out or feel uncomfortable. I think it depends on your ear shape or size🤷🏽♀️
My only complaint is how one of the earbuds (at least mine...) wouldn’t connect or work properly occasionally and every time it happens, I have to do a hard reset. The reset fixes the problem every time, which is good, but I wish I wouldn’t have to do that at all. It gets quite annoying...
Edit: I have had mine for about 6 months. Got it as soon as it came out in Japan. My issue began about 2-3 months into regular daily usage.
That’s why I’ll not buy true wireless earbuds in the near future. My AirPods do the exact same thing. Besides that, since they are always in the charging case, they burn through their battery cycles and, in just over a year’s time, don’t last half as much as they did when new. Add that to the fact that it’s hella easy to lose them and that seals the casket (to me).
I can’t use AirPods on an airplane cause I always knock them off my ears when I fall asleep and then have to go through a mini heart attack until I manage to find them lmao. I’ve decided to stick with over the ear headphones from now on!
Many owner struggling with the fit. So, I picked jabra elite 75t. Fit is the most important
saya saya True, at first I couldn’t feel the NC cause all tips doesn’t fit right. Until I change them with Spinfit cp360.
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.
I really like your style, subscribed!
So I owned these for two months before the left bud decided to die on me so but apparently it happens to time to time.
The Pros are the sound are amazing, best in ears I’ve personally used, but the cons do out weight the pros by a lot.
If you use the train to go into work the noise cancelling will not cancel out most of the noise unless on max volume, you will lose connection roughly 5x a day which gets really annoying. The phone call quality is hands down the worse thing about these, it sounds awful for the other person on the call. Finally my biggest annoyance with them was how often they would just fall out your ear (yes I did try all the bud sizes this is the only in ears I’ve had a problem with), walking up or down stairs I would worry they would fall out... and just don’t chew anything because they will fall out.
I really did want to love them but the cons got bit too much and when they died on me it gave me a way out, I replaced them with the over-ears and the best thing I did.
P.S.
If you live in London and use the underground I will advise do not buy them your better of using any old headphones because it just won’t cancel the background noise.

@Leo Gilbert how are you getting on with them ?
I have the WH over ears and JUST bought these. Love Sony headphones.
Though i am worried bc I have tiny ears and earbuds seem to hurt. But they were always the cheap ones.
Which WH do you have, and how does the noise cancelling compare?
I own both the WH and WF. Had the WH first and just picked the WFs up today. I think both have a place, and both have strong aspects and very weak ones. That case is so damn chonk. The NC is not as good, and wind shear on a bike is irrepressible. But they are svelte and work great as an intermediate step when the world needs to go away a little less starkly than with the WH units.
Toggleable is a very useful word. You're helping to broaden the English language.
Cheers for the review too, I'm getting some.
Yeah it’s a great word
Very detailed explanation n i love it!
I have these an I really love them. One of the features I really like is having the ability to connect to two separate devices. Sound quality is also very good. I do like the fact that it uses a type c charger I don't need separate charging cables for my phone or tablet or these. I was able to order them From Target.Com for 199.99
How can you connect multiple devices?
So as per your opinion is it worth to buy
I just ordered them for $179. If you are thinking about getting these, now is the time while they are on sale!
@@rahulmalhotra3484 Yes definitely worth it. For the different functions an capabilities and hands down for the sounds.
@@Loewi_CW If you have the headphones app with will give you the option to switch to another device. Simple set up your other devices. Once in the app simply choose switch devices. I go back and forth from my phone to table very easy. The app tells you step by step how to do this.
Great video. Informative about the elements which really matter, nice voice and approach. Subscribed.
Thanks!
They would be the best if they had a high ipx rating
Damn, I want the WH and WFs.
I just got the WFs,and they are SO GOOD, the noise cancelling is the best on any earbuds, id recommend these over the WHs because they are way more portable, with the WHs the case is a bit big and you can really only carry them on your backpack, but with the WFs you can just put em in your pockets.. but if you really only care about the ANC WHs are a no brainer...
@@Hunt3rr4455 nice! I already have the first gen WHs and some Master & Dynamic MW07s for wireless, and they sound great but no ANC.
DA HUNTER21111 and what other earbuds with the ANC have you tested? Huh? When there are only one other earbuds with the ANC and somehow I don't think that you have even tried them.
And also WI
@@AdiCherryson "only one other earbud with active noise cancelling" eh?
Just got mine last night. Love them.
I've watched the video till the end and yes, you deserve a "subscribe"
I just really hate the LED indicators on the earbuds. I don't see how it's necessary for them to include the power on lights. My Sony headphones also have them. Lights up the room when it's dark.
I have the wh 1000xm3 and tried the wf earbuds and damn. Sure there is a difference but not in a bad way or a better way. Love your reviews and hopefully we get 5.0 Bluetooth on the WH 1000XM3
I just bought these. While connected to phones, they are really good. But any idea why when connected to my laptop with windows 10, it has clicking/cracking noise?
4:48 im looking into getting this pair of earphones and damn! he makes it seem so magical im sold
I love the hell out of mine
Fantastic review probably the best on CZcams thank you
Great video! Really handy and thorough review.
Given that the WH-XM4 is now out, I'm wondering if a new WF-XM4 will also be introduced. This review is actually encouraging, and I'm going to pick up a refurbished pair.
I am kind of intrigued by the sound quality of the Sony earbuds. I have the AirPods Pro and they are so dang comfortable when I compare them to my older Jabra 65ts. Sound wise, the AirPods Pro are good but not outstanding. The Sonys would have to be stellar in the sound department for me to switch though. Because the overall experience with the Apples IS outstanding (if that makes sense).
I recommend staying with air pods pro. The Sony’s sound a bit better but the air pods are more comfortable and work better with iPhones.
listening to this video wearing my WH 1000xm3. Waiting for the great Indian festival sale on amazon so I can buy these too
I got my pair and I love them I'm a Sony fan for life
I was like you bro, until my xz premium died for no reason and I lost all of my data on it 😭 but I still have the wh-1000xm3 though.
Could you try them again with Comply tips and review how the sound isolation and quality is like? Before I itches and get both myself...
While looking around for headphones, I tested the freebuds, airpods, anker buds and this ones. This were my favorite until I had to make calls. The microphone doesn't do a very good job and that was probably in my top priority list. I ended up buying the freebuds 3 which had the best microphone. So just have in mind that if you have some intention to make calls the wf 1000xm3 don't have a very good microphone. Also the box is a bit big compared with every other in the market.
Wire Free 1000X Mark 3...i need these(Once i have enough money) , you should have way more followers with this Quality
2:10
or something else HAHAHAHAHA
I twist them upright which allows them to wedge and secure behind the upper ear bone.
Sir is it good for phone calls? Or only just for listening? Cause i'm planning buying this.
Mark,
I find them at times insanely annoying, left side always fall out if I'm moving about. Having to reposition in the ear inevitably means changing the sound mode which I don't like. I have changed the setup mode to alleviate this problem. Don't go near a microwave with them on..huge electrostatic interference. Also worth noting I've found them to be particularly bad when using power tools (angle grinder), instead of suppressing/cancelling the sound they sporadically tend to amplify/enhance which in my experience feel like they may be detrimental to my hearing. If you want to sit in a comfy chair and listen to your fave tracks they have quite a good dynamic range whilst maintaining a flat response. Overall I would not spend this kind of $$ on another pair. Seriously considering AKG noise cancelling on ear headphones (wireless this time round) as I've previously owned Wired units. Anyone reviewed the AKG'S
I know its a late reply. Try buying some cheap silicone ear tips. Mine fell out all the time with the Sony ones, bought some crap ones from Amazon and it's so much better! I can even run in them now!
@@noahjgladwell I have about 12 varying sizes tips (including silicone) that were supplied in the original packaging. Thanks for replying
@@troybooker3534 Seriously mate, I tried every Sony one and none of them fit!!!! I think they are (this sounds odd I know) too high quality, as they hold their shape a bit too well for the earphones to fit confortably. If you just buy some cheap ones, they'll deform and then the earphones are resting on your earloobes as opposed to just the ear tips inside your ears, hope that helps.
Just wondering, really struggling to pick a pair of headphones/earphones, I know I personally prefer earphones, these sonys seem to be perfect but it seems they fall short as they don't stay in the ear all too well.
I'm not sure what all you've used so far but what's your personal favourite headphones (the sonys, QC 35 etc) and earphones?
I sort of allude to it at the end there, but my all time favorite are the headphones, the Sony WH1000XM3’s. The WF’s are great, but yeah, they don’t feel secure enough in my ears. You may have a different experience given our ears are different though.
I use them on my way to work and the office in New York city. They fit perfectly fine, sometimes I need to bring them in tighter when they loosen in my ear but it's not an issue. The newest firmware update added volume controls and these are basically perfect. The sound quality and noise cancelling is wonderful.
I have no interest in earbud but I love how you present stuffs ! I subscribed ;)
I dont like how they sit in the ears tho. After wearing them for an hour they tend to just slowly start slipping out of your ears. Anyone that has got the same problem?
Getting it this weekend thx
Awesome review, dankie mfowethu🔥🔥🔥
This one has very clear sound and good volumne but there is little bass.
Planning to buy these. My priority device would be an Windows 10 laptop. Many reviews have indicated that these are terrible with the laptops. Any advise?
Why don't you have 6mil subs? You're so good!
Thanks steph!
You just earned a new sub
For bass purposes it KEY you wear the right buds ffs. I panicked to begin with. I panicked but still was able to pick up how wonderful the mid to tops ends are.. Well impressed.. But yeah, wore the correct buds and my bass and volume worries disappeared.. Very impressed.. When looking for earphones i would worry about the low ratings for water protection and that apparently, they're not the best for training..? I'm a classic gym meathead bodybuilder.. They're fine.. Trust me..
Finally got these on black Friday 2021 and I got the Vista 2s tryin to figure out what to return rn
Does the touch controls trigger when you lay your head on the pillow? I know the headphones sometimes do
I had the exact same situation with the ear tips
Very good video mate
Quick question: can they operate with only one earbud in-ear like AirPods and if so, does it go mono like AirPods? Thanks! Great production value!
Yes they can!
You can't wear them and chew gum at the same time, or chew anything for that matter ! And none of the tips fit in my ears. They keep falling out. They almost need Gorilla glue to keep them in place. :( Other than that, I have absolutely no complaint with sound quality, shape, or battery life... etc.
What about Comply foam tips? Probably sound better then too
Tbh, you can’t chew anything with any earbuds/earphones in your ears. It will guarantee fall off. Has been a common issue with early earpods.
new to the channel ....... great review
im basic. how do we actaully get our cell music to connect with the earbuds? Pair them with bluetooth? wifi? so we need to have bluetooth/wifi-data on all the time?
10months late...Bluetooth
how the call quality after the update.. bth i am your new subscriber ☺️
Dood the headphones are nice I just got them and i also got WH's as well both great but forget the headphones... I'm so jealous of your perfect hair/hairline.
hey dude since you sayed you`ve got both of them,i was wondering, if you put both of them on and turn ANC up..does it make a difference in the sounds that still come through,if you get what im trying to say.
For people who own the ear buds and headphones. Which is actually better. I have the xm4 headphones and I like them but I wish they were louder. Thats the one thing I like about earbuds.
The headphones are better for sure! The headphones cancel noise SO much better than the earbuds. Are the XM4's not loud enough at full volume for you?
@@ChillMaleASMR
I had just got them a few days before I wrote the comment. I love them now and the are loud enough. I just had the adjust to them. Truthfully my biggest complaint was that there wasn't enough bass but thats because my headphones before were crusher anc's. So there's a big difference. Definitely better sound on the xm4 but the crushers really do provide a unique experience. I want to get a pair of the Sony xb900n to see if they're the perfect in between or not.
@@SMH_WOW Nice, that's good to hear! Do you have bass settings turned up in the equalizer on the app? that helps too. I'm getting the headphones tomorrow! (but the xm3's, don't have enough money for the xm4's right now)
You don't talk about the phone call quality, especially in noisy environments, which is very very bad. The latest firmware update has not addressed this.
David Field that is the reason I want to sell mine
I have this headphones and they ain't as bad as you claim them to be when using for phone calls in a busy area, I know it ain't the best but definitely not the worst, it's tolerable and I'm sure they'll update it to be better over time.
@@scorpion199227 for 250€ you can not have just a tolerable headset...
Which one do you recommend for a student ?
Nice review
I ordered these but send them back because they were so uncomfortable to wear... ANC was kind of a let down too, even tho can't expect them to be as good as headphones. For some reason eartips just never fit comfortably for me
concerning the price for clarification, the earbuds are not almost $300. In fact, they are less than $250, and come in right around $229.99 retail value. Just bought a pair for my father at Best Buy for $250, including tax.
$300 CAD. Not USD.
Bought them for a week ago and everything is great except quick connection and phone quality. Gladly they got sold for 100$
Have you used these for hands free calling while driving? and if so, what are your thoughts on call quality?. Mine have the poorest sound call quality. Ambient noise is just horrible and the ear buds wont work with noise canceling mode.
For everyone’s information, the WF is now able to be found refurbished for like $120 or so

Not impressed with them at all. Difficult to connect and stay connected, sound drops. Doesn't work while making calls with iPhone X. Probably better sticking with Apple's own.
Can you review Technics EAH-AZ70W?
Great review. Has anyone tried out the mic. I've tried quite a few of these types of earbuds. The mic always starts off alright but after a while the voice clarity degrades
Hi, I'm just wondering, how shock proof is it? Thank you for anyone who's going to reply. Much appreciated.
Like your excellent review!! Will you recommend some more affordable wireless earbuds? Thank you
Do you know how to disable the location on them? Seems like it needs location everything you want to connect
They're solid headphones but theres also a lot of quality of life things that when you're using them everyday are very annoying. You can call it nitpicking but for $250 I shouldnt be questioning the purchase this much
1.) Regularly I get random disconnects where they show to be connected but the sound just stops
2.) Eating with both earbuds in makes them fall out constantly
3.) Constant accidental pauses from the touch pad when lying down or while your eating from needing to push them back in
4.) The power up dialogue takes like 10 seconds. If youre already watching a video with 1 bud in then you have either pause it or listen to this super long dialogue. The bot talks crazy slow
5.) I legit cant even use them in calls because not only does it amplify sound around me to the point that the other person cant hear sometimes, but twice Ive had moments where they just do this crazy loud, high pitched beep that wont stop
6.) Also if walk around just one earbud in, if you like the touch pad to pause and play you of course will be forced to have each do the same function. So those times when you use both, youd constantly need to go in the app to change their functions. Since its no longer on the touch pad I have to go into the app every single time to turn on ambient noise because noise cancelling is always the default with no way to change it
Foam tips: Home, Silicone: Out
Michael Espeland silicone in, foam out ,lol
Whatever sound mode your on ... there is a problem with the sound of air around you cause the microphone is always on ... so if your walking on the street and it’s a windy day you would be still hearing air noise + it’s so good with sound quality but you really suffer from the pressure it forms on your ears by the time u r using it and you will itch too 🤷🏻♂️, I’ve been using it for almost 2 months now and I’m not the happiest person with it, I wouldn’t buy it one more time and look for something more comfy
So whats your best suggestions for athelete?
Will it increase sound when you eat or speak?
Video is top on Google search when I searched for this earbud.
As always great video!
These are amazing but the connection is not solid it disconnects and connects on its own. Can't leave voice note's either, plus it sound horrible in phone calls.
They are not to stable for running or jumping kinda heavy n yes mine kinda come off...will be returning them...Great sound!
Too bad I got these delivered today and they came defective out of the box. The online community says this issue is quite common. I have placed a replacement order, but I'm concerned about the lifespan of these.
Nice review... cool
Great Video man. Do you think that i should change to these from my old Sony MDR XB950 with noise canceling
