I've had frequent issues with taps/swipes not registering
And they can have a mind of their own in certain scenarios
$350 is a lot of money for a set of headphones
And these are basically never discounted
Lacks dynamic audio device switching
Flashing operating LED can be annoying
Expensive
ANC affects sound signature slightly
Cable lacks inline remote
Audio quality is only average when the headphones are not powered
Minor learning curve required to master gesture controls
Very slight high-frequency distortion when the volume is cranked
Aesthetics feel less premium than on previous model
Call quality could be better
They're not exactly pretty
The price is high for most
The included cable is a bit short
Headband can cause discomfort
Earcups are a bit shallow
Price
No multipoint connection
The touchscreen controller sometimes acts up in cold weather
Touch controls are still a pain
Bass response could be cleaner and more defined
Pads get sweaty on warm days
Irritating blinking LED status light on left ear cup
Status LED is frustrating
Multipoint Bluetooth could be more elegant
No on-ear sensor
Ears can get toasty after a few hours
Warm ears after a few hours
Touch sensitive controls can take a little getting used to
A premium price Google Assistant isn't very useful
Extraordinary noise canceling, Pillowy comfort, USB-C charging and stupendous battery life, Best sound from Sony's 1000X yet
Touch controls are still a pain, Bass response could be cleaner and more defined, Pads get sweaty on warm days, Irritating blinking LED status light on left ear cup

If you have the budget there's no denying that there's a new leader in sound quality and battery life in the consumer headphone space. Sony has created something special with the WH-1000XM3 cans.Music and audio is a very visceral experience for many peopl...
Excellent sound, Beautifully balanced in audio performance, Supports various degrees of noise cancellation, and can be controlled by app or optimised on the fly, Works with Google Assistant, More comfortable pads, Lightweight, especially in comparison to
Finish can get a little grubby, Only connects to one device at a time
If there's one way to beat the competition, it's on quality, but Sony goes above and beyond with the WH-1000XM3, as these things are just so damned good. The Sony WH-1000XM3 has it all, and while last year's XM2 were fantastic, these are even better.We're...
The excellent-sounding Sony WH-1000XM3 is more comfortable and 20 percent lighter than its predecessor. It offers slightly improved noise canceling and performs better as a headset for making calls. Battery life is strong, and it has some nifty extra feat
Your ears can get a little warm inside the ear cups; I encountered some adaptive noise-canceling hiccups
With its more comfortable fit and improved performance, the Sony WH-1000XM3 becomes the noise-canceling headphone to beat...
Abstract: We said last year that Sony had put Bose “on notice” when it comes to active noise-cancelling headphones. Our review of Sony's WH-1000XM2 reported that Sony not only delivered incredible audio quality, but that the company offered some high-tech features...

Put simply the latest WH-1000XM3 noise cancelling headphones are the best I've encountered, by a significant margin.Chris BowenChris is EFTM's Motoring Editor, driving everything from your entry level hatch to the latest Luxury cars through to the Rolls R...
Abstract: It was a bit of a coup last year, when Sony released the second generation of its noise-cancelling headphones, and reviewers ( me ) claimed that Bose had been beaten. I'll be damned if Sony didn't turn around and make those headphones better. They cancel...
Abstract: For the last 3 or so years I've been using a pair of Bose QC35's as my daily driver headphones. Competition has heated up, and the place for the top noise cancelling headphones seems to be forever changing depending on who you talk to. We already know the...
New copper accents look great, Redesigned carry case & USB Type-C Charging
No major improvement in battery life
Although the WH-1000X M3 is definitely the better product, they're not quite revolutionary enough that I'd recommend tossing out your existing M2 or M1 headset. They sound better - but they don't sound radically different. Still, if you're in the market f...
