sound (the ANC was always good). My portable-everyday-beat-them-up headphones were the Bose QC 35 II. I liked them primarily for the comfort and ANC. The sound on the Bose can best be described as adequate but generally lifeless. Always in search of something better I read a couple of “First Look” articles about the Sony WH-MX1000M3 and decided to pull the plug on the first day that they were available on Amazon. When I received the Sony’s I was pleased to see that the case was similar to the Bose QC 35, a little bigger but shaped well enough to fit comfortably in my backpack. When I removed the headphones and put them on my head I realized immediately that these would be as comfortable as the Bose. Good job Sony.After charging for a couple of hours I paired them to my phone and went to my headphone test playlist on Spotify. My main complaint with the previous Sony model's sound was that they had very little soundstage (defined as perceived distance between your ears and the music) and little definition (defined as the clarity and separation of the various instruments in a piece of music). The M3 sounded better than the previous Sony’s and better than the Bose, but the highs appeared to be quite subdued and overwhelmed by the bass. This was disappointing.But, Sony has a phone app that allows for EQ so I go download the app. Frustration. The app did not recognize the MK3. Patience. I figure that Sony has not updated the app yet. So I wait a day and see that the Sony app has automatically updated on my phone. I open and hurray! It is recognizing the MK3 now. Now I can play with EQ: -1 on 400 Hz. +1 on 1K. +2 on 2.5K. +3 on 6K. +4 on 16K and “Clear Bass” remains at 0. Play music and now were talking! I’m not going to say that these sound nearly as good as most of my wired headphones, but for everyday-on-the-go-beat-them-up-with-ANC these are exciting. They blow the Bose away. The Bowers and Wilkins PX which weigh about three times more than the Sony’s have decent BT sound when the ANC is off but the sound changes considerably and not for the better when you apply one of three ANC modes. They PX is OK for about an hour of no ANC listening while sitting at home, but after that my ears and the top of my head hurt.The noise cancellation of the Sony is a generation ahead of Bose. There, I said it. Most reviewers crown the Bose as the best ANC you can get. Well, Sony has just showed Bose that they are the new big boy on the block. I did some A/B comparisons with both headphones and realized that the Sony not only cancels steady noise like jet engines or the sound of the air conditioning intake in my condo, but it does a great job of virtually eliminating all other sounds, including television voices and even other people, as my wife can attest to when she had to stand in front of me and wave her hands to get my attention because I could not hear her talking (so, if you want to block out your wife’s talking… LOL!). And this is without even messing with the settings in the app. Others reviewer here have not had the same experience, stating that it does not cancel voices. I frankly did not expect it to cancel voices, but I must say that the Sony comes as close as anything I have ever not heard.So, if you want very comfortable headphones with the best sound and Active Noise Cancelling that you can expect with wireless Bluetooth in 2018 get these. They will not sound as good as wired closed back or open back headphones, but “you can’t always get what you want”, “nothing is perfect”, and “everybody is different”.In addition to the Sony WH-1000XM3 during this review period I used:Bose QC 35 IIBowers & Wilkins PXBang and Olufsen H6 (wired)Sennheiser HD650 (wired)AKG 7KXX (wired)SpotifyFlac files on phone and desktop computerUPDATE 2018-09-21: I did experience an issue with phone calls where people at the other end were hearing an echo of their voice. I tested the headphones with three different phones and the problem occurred with all three. So I replaced them through Amazon. I am glad to say that the new pair does not have the issue. After some tests with phone calls I will say that Sony still needs to do some work on the call quality at the other end of the call (the call sounds fine in the Sony itself). In this regard, the Bose QC 35 is better. I think the call quality is really with the sound processing that Sony has implemented and not the hardware. Hopefully this will be improved in future firmware upgrades. Another minor con that the Bose handles better is the support for multiple BT sources. But this is a minor annoyance and I only use the Sony's for my phone anyway, so I am not constantly switching sources. Small price to pay for better ANC and musical sound.

我目前拥有大约30个不同品牌和类型的耳机。我尝试过很多蓝牙耳机，有Bose QC35 II, Bowers和Wilkins PX。我买了索尼的WH-1000x MKI & MKII，但在权衡了缺点和成本之后，我把它们退了，我的主要不满是佩戴的舒适度和音质。我买耳机最看重舒适度和音质。Bose上的声音可以用完美来形容，但通常是没有活力的。我一直在寻找更好的东西，我读了一些关于索尼公司的介绍后，立刻决定在亚马逊订购它。当我收到索尼的时候，我很高兴地看到它的外壳与Bose QC 35相似，可能稍微大一点，但形状河北好，可以放进我的背包。当我摘下耳机戴在头上时，我立刻意识到，这些耳机和Bose耳机一样舒适。索尼真的好。充了几个小时的电后，我把它们与手机配对，然后打开Spotify上的耳机测试播放列表。我对索尼前一款机型的不满主要是它们的声场非常小(也就是说耳朵与音乐之间的感知距离很近)，清晰度也很低(定义为一段音乐中各种乐器的清晰度和分离度)。M3听起来比上一代索尼(Sony)的更好，也比Bose的更好，但低音似乎让M3的音高显得相当低沉。这是令人失望的。但是，索尼有一个允许EQ存在的手机应用，所以我下载了这个应用。app无法识别MK3。耐心等待下啊。我想索尼还没有更新app。所以我等了一天，看到索尼的应用程序已经在我的手机上自动更新了。我打开，万岁!它现在正在识别MK3。现在我可以在400hz上使用EQ: -1 on 400 Hz. +1 on 1K. +2 on 2.5K. +3 on 6K. +4 on 16K K和“清除低音”保持在0。播放音乐，现在我开讲了!我不打算说这些声音几乎和我大部分的有线耳机一样好,但是对于everyday-on-the-go-beat-them-up-with-ANC这些都是激动人心的。它们把Bose吹走了。当ANC关闭时，声量是索尼三倍的鲍尔斯和威尔金斯PX的BT声效果还不错，但当你使用ANC的三种模式之一时，声音就会发生很大变化，而且效果并不好。在一个小时没有ANC，坐在家里听他们讲话的情况下，他们的抗议是可以接受的，但在那之后，我的耳朵和头顶就开始疼了。索尼的噪音消除比Bose早一代。好了，我说了。大多数评论家认为Bose是你能得到的最好的ANC。好吧，索尼刚刚向Bose展示了他们是即将上市的新巨头。我做了一些耳机和A / B比较意识到索尼既能消除我公寓里空调发出的嗡嗡声和其他机器发出的噪音,还能很好的消除了其他声音,甚至包括电视声音和人的声音,因为我的妻子可以证明，当她站在我面前,在对我说话时,我不能听到她说话(所以,如果你不想听你妻子絮絮叨叨……哈哈!)。这甚至没有打乱应用程序的设置。这里的其他评论者也没有同样的体验，声称它不会消音。坦率地说，我没有想到它会消音，但我必须说，索尼是我从未听说过的最接近于消音的产品。所以，如果你想要非常舒适的耳机，有最好的噪音消除功能，你可以期待在2018年得到这些。它们听起来不会像有线背对背或开合式耳机那么好，但“你不能总是得到你想要的”、“没有什么是完美的”、“每个人都不一样”。除了Sony WH-1000XM3之外，在这一审查期间，我还使用了:

更新2018-09-21:我确实遇到过一个电话问题，电话那头的人听到了他们声音的回声。我用三款不同的手机测试了这款耳机，三款手机都出现了问题。所以我通过亚马逊换了它们。我很高兴其它的没有问题。在对电话进行了一些测试之后，我想说索尼仍然需要在通话的另一端对通话质量做一些改进(通话在索尼本身听起来很好)。在这方面，Bose QC 35更好。我认为通话质量是索尼实现的声音处理，而不是硬件。希望这将在未来的固件升级中得到改进。Bose更好地处理的另一个小缺点是对多个BT源的支持。但这是一个小麻烦，而且我只在手机上使用索尼，所以我不会经常换源。用很实惠的价格拥有了更好的ANC和音乐体验。

nd to get sore - no issues 3 hours in with this pair), and have a sound quality that blows the Bose or any other noise cancelling headphones I've tried out of the water. Being able to cup the right headphone to pause the noise cancelling to listen to people talking to you without taking off the headphone is a pretty cool feature.Aesthetically, I prefer how the Bose looks, but then again I purchased this for the audio and noise-cancelling properties, not how it looks. The touch controls on the right earpiece took a bit to get used to, but quickly became second nature.Being able to charge via USB-C is a plus as someone who has a Galaxy S8 and a Nintendo Switch, as I can use the same cable. It also lets you charge the headphones via Quick Charge. While I can't speak to it's longevity, the headphones seem to be high quality, and I don't notice any discernible issue with the headband - something that I understand the previous models suffered from.Overall, I am extremely impressed by the WH1000XM3, and it will easily become my every day carry headphones.

ing....that you can’t adjust. Fortunately, the default NC profile is good, and they do sound good. Also, they are lighter than the XM2s, but the headband feels more solidly built. I think they also sound better (clarity, dynamics, bass) than the XM2 and QC35. Comfort is very good, not quite as good as Bose QC35, but pretty close.Update: about 12hrs after posting this, Sony has released the updated software to the iOS App Store. Works great with the software. Allows for tweaking and calibration of NC, eq, etc. sweet.

icking here.1. Sound quality: The Wh1000xm3 sound better than the wh1000xm2 for obvious reason but not blow out the water better. You hear more separation in your music. Also if you ever use the surround modes (dont hate me for this mx2 owners) but there is a very faint but slightly annoying static that occurs when you use the surround modes. Especially on arena mode. The wh1000xm3 erased this totally and that static is no longer there. This may be a big reason of Sony adding the QN1 chip as the wh1000xm2 may have tried to process the music and noise cancelling but since there was no medium, both went throughthe same channels which causes static that you hear. It made my listening experience far more enjoyable.2. Noise cancelling: Noise cancelling is not noise proof. It does block out more sound than its predecessor however with noise cancelling I felt that the m2 cancelled more sound. Although with noise cancelling on, the m3 do a much better job. I no longer had to put music up to 50 percent to block out sound from very moist environments. Just 20-25 does the trick. Although by itself it already cancels noise out exceptionally better.Now to clarify the reason the reason why noise cancelling headphones have a hard time cancelling voices. It's really because your voice is not a constant sound wave. It constantly oscillates and to produce counter sound waves to that requires a lot. Despite this, these are the best noise cancelling headphones on the market right now. Now are they 4x better in noise cancelling? I would say 40%better but not 4x which seems like a stretch. But getting rid of the static may have been something.Build quality: To cut down on costs since you already have the QN1 chip and for a smoother design. Sony added the plastic over the brush aluminum. Also to appeal to their female market as well, they tried to make headphones that appealedto both genders. If you notice, not many girls really wanted to try the wh1000xm2. I did a test of and I got a positive response for men about wearing the wh1000xm2 about 82% while only 18%of females really wanted to try the wh1000xm2. However for the xm3 with the same even 100 amount. I got a higher positive response from females about 42% to 56% men. Plus the lighter xm3 adds to longer hours of listening. The wh1000xm3 is still built well, although you had a leather cup to create a better noise cancelling seal. The wh1000xm3 does not need that so it can afford a sleek appearance. Plus it cuts down on the weight. There is added padding at the top of the wh1000xm3 so when you bump your head, you are protected from most of the shock whereas with the m2 they get scratched at the top fairly easily.USB: USB-C instead of micro is a vast improvement. Do keep in mind your charger is also a prominent factor on how well it stays. I recommend using anker products for their cables and wall charger. The Sony cable is pretty short. The audio cable us really not THAT bad and it seems most people are overreacting about this and I'm not sure why.Case: the case is definitely sturdier and has more room inside. Although I do miss the snap on and snap off case of the m2.What I pointed out where key points as most other things can be looked up on the Sony page and reading the features of the headphones. Although please note neither have multipoint connecting abilities. Although this never bothered as my phone my main source so that's never bothered me.But is it worth the upgrade? If it really isnt in your budget, I would sell your XM2 first then get the XM3. If the xm2 has been working well for you then you are fine. Save yourself another $350. If it is in your budget just measure against other items you could get, if this is it, go for it. I can say you will not be disappointed.

我提前订购了这些，因为我想我应该在发布之前把它们拆开一段时间。然后将它们与WH1000xm2并排比较。我将列出这比m2的优势，然后看看是否能帮助你。我非常认真地使用索尼，所以这里没有吹毛求疵。1。音质:Wh1000xm3比wh1000xm2音质好，原因很明显。你在音乐中，声音能更好的分离出来。如果你曾经使用过环绕模式(请不要因为这个mx2而讨厌我)，但是当你使用环绕模式时，会出现一个非常微弱但又有点烦人的静态效果。特别是在竞技场模式下。wh1000xm3完全擦除了这一点，静态不再存在。这可能是索尼增加QN1芯片的一个重要原因，因为wh1000xm2可能试图处理音乐和噪声消除，但由于没有介质，两者都通过相同的通道，这导致您听到静电声。它使我的听力体验更加愉快。2。噪音消除:噪音消除不是隔音。它确实比它的前任屏蔽了更多的声音，但是随着噪音的消除，我觉得m2抵消了更多的声音。虽然消除了噪音，m3做得更好。我不再需要把音乐调到50%来阻挡其他的声音。只要20-25就可以了。尽管它本身就能更好地抵消噪音。现在来解释一下为什么噪音消除耳机很难消除声音。这是因为你的声音不是恒定的声波。它不断地振动，产生反声波，这需要很多。尽管如此，这些是目前市场上最好的降噪耳机。现在它们在消除噪音方面是原来的4倍吗?我觉得40%更好，但不是4倍，这似乎有点夸张。但摆脱静电可能是件好事。 

构建质量:降低成本，因为您已经拥有了QN1芯片，而且设计更加流畅。索尼在电刷铝上加了塑料。为了吸引女性市场，他们还试图生产出既能吸引男性又能吸引女性的耳机。如果你注意到，没有多少女孩真正想要尝试wh1000xm2。我做了一个关于wh1000xm2的测试，得到了男性82%的积极响应，而只有18%的女性真正想要尝试wh1000xm2。但是对于同样数量的xm3。女性的正面反应要比男性高42%到56%。另外，更轻的xm3增加了更长的听的时间。wh1000xm3仍然构建得很好，尽管您有一个皮革环来创建更好的噪声消除密封。wh1000xm3不需要这些，所以它可以提供一个光滑的外观。再加上重量减轻了。wh1000xm3顶部增加了填充，所以当你撞到你的头时，你可以免受大部分的冲击，而m2的顶部很容易划伤。USB: USB- c而不是micro是一个巨大的改进。请记住，你的充电器也是一个突出的因素，它如何保持良好。我建议使用anker产品的电缆和墙壁充电器。索尼的电缆很短。音频电缆我们真的没有那么糟糕，似乎大多数人对此反应过度，我不知道为什么。箱子:箱子肯定更结实，里面有更多的空间。虽然我很怀念m2的开关。我所指出的关键点就像大多数其他东西一样，可以在索尼的页面上找到并阅读耳机的功能。虽然请注意，两者都没有多点连接能力。虽然这从来没有困扰过我。但它值得升级吗?如果真的不在你的预算之内，我会建议你先卖你的XM2，然后再买XM3。如果xm2一直很适合您，那么保持原样就行，为自己再节省350美元。如果它在你的预算之内，那就拿它和你能得到的其他款做比较，如果是这样，那就去买吧。我可以说你不会失望的。

s issue is not repeatable when calling through Skype or Whatsapp. When using the built in phone dialer for IOS and Android the issue with the hallway/echo occurs. When using a VOIP service the calls come through crystal clear on both ends.I received my headphones yesterday and I have been very impressed. The sound quality and noise cancellation is very well done. There is just one issue from making them great. It is impossible to make a phone call through them. It sounds like I am down a hallway when talking. I have been told that the person on the other end could hear an echo of themselves better than the they can hear me. So far the tagline seems to be right "Only Music. Nothing Else".

he optimizer, it is phenomenal! Voices are not completely canceled, but in most cases they will be muffled and hard to understand. Play music on top of noise canceling, and you won’t really hear anything at all. I attempted to use these in the dining room which was very loud, and I would say about 90% of the sound was canceled out without playing any music. I’m not sure how these will handle in the car, but I suspect they should be fine. Wind noise might be the only issue, which isn’t that big of a deal. They are extremely comfortable as well. Maybe not quite as good as the QC 35 headphones, but very close. They are a clear step up from last year‘s noise canceling headphones! Update. The headband is covered in leather and has more Patty. I have not heard of any cracking issues, and the headband feels slightly stronger to me. Also, the swivel pointst feel stronger as well.

been lots of reviews online about these it's no secret that the noise cancellation feature is superb on these it's also no secret that the sound is also superb and I found it to be accurate and pleasing to the ear no matter if I've been listening to rock music, classical music come or reggae. Another thing that I'm really happy about is that I can plug these into the TV through the 3. 5 mm cord with an extender and there is no sound delay listening to the TV but I have not yet tried Bluetooth connecting it with the other sound mode yet.Hand touch featuresThe hand touch features on the ear outside of the ear pads is nothing less than brilliant and I prefer the motion touch ability to increase or lower the volume change tracks Etc by simply using my hand motion as opposed to a hard Hardware button. Took me about 5 minutes to get used to it but it was pretty intuitive and pretty easy to pick up.They don't have to rest on the top of your head:one thing that you won't see in any of the reviews except this one probably is that every pair of headphones I tried on at Best Buy and other places the top of the headphones almost always rested on my head. This was one department where Bose was a leader for me because I was able to increase the size of the headphones and have the headphones stay on my ears and stay on my head without the top actually resting on the top of my head and these Sony headphones have managed to achieve that and I give him credit for it. Having a pair of headphones partially supported with its weight on your head is not good for comfort factor so the fact that these can be expanded still stay on your ear and not be resting on top of your head for me is a big deal and adds to the overall comfort factor. my older Bose on ear headphones or more compact but that's to be expected compared to an over-the-ear Headphone set and although these are bulkier they are still quite portable.The carrying caseThe case that came with it is beautiful it's a hard shell case with a textured finish an open net on the back where you can sleep in a charger or anything else that'll fit and also has storage for your headphones inside along with two more what I call vertical pockets for your charger cord or other peripherals.Headphone color choice:I was tossed up on whether to get the black or silver headphones and I'm pleased to say the black ones were the right choice black tennis shoe look smaller aesthetically speaking and the copper colored accents really at A Classy Touch to the design in my opinion. Speaking of designs these are as far as I can tell 100% if not close to 100% plastic but they feel very sturdy and the joints on the swivel for the ear pads are smooth in operation and don't feel like they're going to break very easily unless you find a way to sit on them one day :-)I'm not going to go into more detail than that because you can find millions of reviews online for these headphones and they will be going into much more detail than I am but I did want to point out a few things that you won't find in other reviews.These headphones are pricey there's no doubt about it but if she's got the bucks for it don't even blink an eye and order them they're superb

我买这款耳机的时候，我的老式Bose QuietComfort on ear耳机用了三年，且掉了一个耳垫，对此我很不高兴。 

所以说，在此我将进行一个回顾 

声音 

有很多关于这些的在线评论这已经不是什么秘密,降噪功能的这些也不是什么秘密,声音也是一流的,我发现它是准确的和很悦耳，无论是我一直听摇滚音乐,古典音乐或雷鬼的时候都是一样的。另一件我很高兴的事是我可以把这个插入电视。5毫米线与一个扩展，电视没有声音延迟听，但我还没有尝试用蓝牙连接它与其他声音模式。手触摸功能和在耳朵上的触摸功能在耳垫外面是非常出色的，我更喜欢运动触摸能力，以增加或降低音量变化轨迹等，只需我的手的运动，而不是硬硬件按钮。我花了大约5分钟的时间来适应它，但它非常直观，也非常容易学会。它们不必停留在你的头顶:有一件事你不会在任何评论中看到，除了这一件，那就是我在Best Buy和其他地方试过的每一副耳机，耳机的顶部几乎总是放在我的头上。其中Bose是领导者，因为我能够增加耳机的尺寸，将耳机保持在我的耳朵上，一直停留在我的头上，而顶部实际上没有放在我的头上，并且这些索尼耳机已经实现了这一点，我将它归功于它。有一对耳机部分支持它的重量在你头上是不利于舒适的因素，所以这些可以扩展，停留在你的耳朵而不是放在头顶对我来说是一件大事,增加了整体舒适性的，相比于我的老式Bose on ear耳机或更紧凑的耳机，这是显而易见的，第二，相比于过耳式耳机，虽然这些更笨重，但仍然相当便携。 

这个包装盒 

外表坚硬，造型美丽，纹理设计得很好看，你可以很好地将东西放在其中，你的充电器线或其他设备可以放在那个垂直的口袋中。耳机的颜色选择:我很高兴地说，黑色的从美学角度看更小，而且在我看来，铜色的真的很经典。谈到设计，据我所知是100%塑料，这样的话会觉得旋转耳垫在操作起来很顺利，不要觉得这个可以忽视,除非你找到一个非常有效的:-)我不会讲得更详细，因为你可以在网上找到数以百万计的关于这些耳机的评论，它们会比我讲得更详细，但我想指出一些你在其他评论中找不到的东西。这些耳机是昂贵的，这是毫无疑问的，但如果你有钱，那买吧，他们是一流的。

due to larger ear cups (and the lighter weight), they are. They said they would look better, and the narrower profile does make them look better. They did all of this without sacrificing the quality of the construction (I sleep with these on, rolling right over onto my pillow at night).For me, the much-improved sound quality of music is the most dramatic improvement and the most unexpected, although all the improvements add up to make these vastly improved over the XM2's.

quality, BIG improvement on noise cancelling and a great job redesigning everything! They look a lot nicer (even though this is personal opinion) on my head. I would also note that they are very comfortable.
