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
Can only be paired with one device at a time, Mediocre call quality
If you are a frequent traveler looking for the best noise-canceling headphones, or someone who's stuck in a noisy office, the 1000XM2 is nearly as good as the M3. But what M3 gets is more style and comfort topped with even more dynamic noise cancellation...

Excellent active noise cancellation, Great sound customisation, Extremely comfortable cups
They start with slightly boosted mid-bass
The Sony WH-1000 series was already a top performer. This new Sony WH-1000XM3 improves active noise cancellation for an even more compelling package. These headphones destroy ambient noise: no mercy. Sound purists may want to tweak the sound a bit, and t...

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...

Another year, another impressive pair of noise-cancelling headphones from Sony. To wit, the Sony WH-1000XM3 are exactly the headphones we've come to expect from the new leader in noise-cancelling headphones… even if they're a bit too close to last year f...
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
We'll need to test the WH-1000XM3 headphones fully before we draw any final conclusions, but from what we've experienced so far, they remain an absolutely excellent choice if you're in the market for noise cancelling headphones.We will update this initial...
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.There are rivals out there that...
Abstract: I don't think I need to wax lyrical about just how good music is for the soul. A little bit of harmonic composition can go a long way, whether it be the energetic sound of hard rock that motivates you to move harder when you're at the gym or the soothing...
The Sony WH-1000XM3 are some of the most comfortable headphones. These headphones have the perfect synergy between noise cancellation and audio tuning, that results in realistic and detailed audio quality. Sony's Headphone app also allows you to tune musi...
Excellent Sound, Awesome Noise Cancellation, Superb Battery life
Does not support multiple device pairing, No dedicated Google Assistant Button, Touch Controls are weird
The WH-1000XM3 is one of the best pair of headphones we've ever used, this includes wired headphones as well. These headphones are a must-have gadget if you love music and also like to travel. It is by far my favourite gadget in 2018 and it costs Rs 28,99...
If you compulsively troll audiophile forums, the Sony WH-1000XM3 is definitely not meant for you. It needs you to step back from the technicalities of audio reproduction and just give in to the warm embrace of the sound of music. Close your eyes and let t...
