Summary

Why It’s Our Top Pick: “The Sony WH-1000XM3 combines great sound quality and noise-cancelling features, with the latter useful for those who want to enjoy music to the fullest minus unwanted background noises”. Features: This Sony WH-1000XM3 packs several great features, beginning with its HD Noise-Cancelling Processor QN1 that helps to filter out unnecessary background noises, letting you focus on and enjoy your music better. The headphones also offer the convenience of wireless freedom via Bluetooth connection and support various high-quality audio formats such as aptX HD and LDAC. Another highlight includes the Adaptive Sound Control; a smart function that automatically determines your physical activity (e.g. walking or sitting) and surrounding by optimising the ambient sound accordingly. You can even customise your headphones by downloading the Headphones Connect app, which allows you to adjust settings like volume control, equaliser adjustments and the level of noise-cancelling function. The right earcup has functions like Quick Attention which is a handy mode that lets you hear the surrounding without taking off your headphones. All you need to do is place your right hand over the earcup to lower down the volume so you can hear and speak to people in front of you. Not only that; the earcup allows you to change the music track as well as take or make hands-free calls. Performance: Most users who bought the Sony WH-1000XM3 praised its overall superb sound quality, offering crisp bass and nice treble all around. The smart noise-cancelling function works as great as advertised while the battery life can last around 4-5 hours of continuous playback with noise-cancelling switched on. Touch controls around the right earcup are responsive too. If there are any flaws, some users did find that the headphones’ call quality via the built-in mic lacks clarity and at times, muffled. The earcups may have good padding and fit well for most ears but given their closed-back design, they can get warm and uncomfortable if you are wearing them during hot weather.
