Longer charge cable. 9-inches? Are you kidding?

Touch controls need more work

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

Yes—if you're willing to pay for such a total packageIf I had to sum up my experience with the WH-1000XM3's, it would be that they're easy to forget, in the best way possible. I would put them on, queue up some music, and basically forget they were even o...

Astounding noise cancellation, with clever and useful adaptive features, Fantastic, rich audio performance, Easy-to-use gesture controls, Lightweight and very comfortable
Some people would rather have buttons than touch controls
From station to station, back to Dusseldorf city, meet Iggy Pop and David BowieThe Sony WH1000XM3 deservedly won a 2019 T3 Award and have stood as narrowly the best choice of ANC headphones since their launch. If the Bose Noise Cancelling 700 is as good a...
Excellent battery life, offering 30 hours of listening time when noise cancelling is switched on, The headphones support the playback of high-resolution audio files using the cable, Quick to recharge - you get five hours of wireless playback after a mere
They're not suitable for exercise, as we found the headphone slipped forward a little when working out

Aside from slightly fiddly touch controls, there's really very little to complain about here. The noise cancellation is still absolutely unmatched, and it's backed up audio that's almost as good.Sony has merely tinkered with the rest of the design, rather...
