Sony WH-1000XM3 review: still great but about to be replaced by WH-1000XM4

 

Sony WH1000XM3 over-ear ANC headphones cut out the noise like nothing else we'd ever heard, before WH-1000XM4 turned up

Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Headphones review

 

Sony's best noise-cancelling headphones just got (slightly) better

Outstanding noise cancellation ; Fantastic sound quality ; Quick Attention Mode ; 30-hour battery life

Small tweaks from 1000XM2 ; Mediocre call quality

While they’re not an all-out upgrade on last year’s WH-1000XM2, the Sony WH-1000XM3 make a lot of subtle tweaks to an already amazing pair of noise-cancelling headphones.

Sony's best noise-cancelling headphones just got a makeover

Outstanding noise cancellation ; Fantastic sound quality ; Quick Attention Mode ; 30-hour battery life

Can only be paired with one device at a time ; Mediocre call quality

While they’re not an all-out upgrade on last year’s WH-1000XM2, the Sony WH-1000XM3 make a lot of subtle tweaks to an already amazing pair of noise-cancelling headphones.

Sony WH-1000XM3 review: a superb pair of noise-cancelling headphones - read at What Hi-Fi?

Natural, all-round sound quality The best noise-cancelling out there Supremely comfortable

Good enough to expose weaker recordings Touch controls feel fiddly at first

Add all of the ingredients together – the increased comfort, improved noise-cancelling and serious audio ability – and you have as close to the perfect pair of noise-cancelling headphones as it’s currently possible to find.

Sony WH-1000XM3 review: Noise-cancelling supremo

 

The Sony WH-1000XM3 make a great set of headphones even better for Mark 3. If you value noise-cancelling then these over-ears are among the very best.

Noise-cancelling performance is superb ; Comfortable for long periods of wear ; Lots of personalisation options via the app

Google Assistant doesn't really work ; App can cause some confusion in mode selected ; Recharging is slow

The Sony WH-1000X M3 make a great set of headphones even better. If you value noise-cancelling tech, then we have no hesitation in recommending these headphones as among the very best money can buy.

Excellent noise-canceling performance ; Supremely comfortable ; Supports numerous wireless codecs ; Fun, lively sound ; Long battery life

Touch controls are unreliable ; Bass a touch too overwhelming ; Can't accept digital inputs via USB-C ; Takes a long time to charge
