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
Astounding ANC, Comfortable over Long Use, Phenomenal Battery Life, Superior Sound Quality, Much Better than Previous Generation, All things USB-C, 3.5mm Connectivity

Excellent noisecanceling 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 USBC, Takes a long time to charge
I'm an audio geek, what codecs does it support?For those fussy about sound quality, one of the most enticing features of Sony's noise-canceling headphones is that they support a wide range of codecs - easily one of the widest. The new WH-1000XM3 is no dif...
