Powerful Sound Performance

Powerful 40mm drivers and Liquid Crystal Polymer diaphragms will expertly handle heavier, bassier beats whilst also faithfully translating higher frequencies for a neat and detailed audio playback. Hi-Res content can be streamed over Bluetooth to allow you to enjoy any premium Hi-Res content in lossless audio quality. 

Sense Engine will automatically detect the situation you’re in, be that travel, walking or waiting, and adjust the ambient sound output accordingly. This will enhance your noise cancellation experience and ensure you benefit from the best audio whatever the occasion. EQ settings are fully customisable within the Sony Headphones Connect app, allowing you to make the very best of the music you’re listening to. You’ll also have access to 360 Reality Audio through compatible smartphone apps (Deezer and Tidal Premium to name a couple) which will place every element of a recording, from vocals to instrumental, in a spherical sound stage that will offer an immersive, 3D listening experience. 

Superior Noise Cancellation

Offering industry leading noise cancellation courtesy of their inbuilt HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1, the WH-1000XM3 will expertly block out sound from your surroundings allowing you to concentrate on the music without distraction. Unique Personal Optimizing will analyse the sonic characteristics of your head size along with other factors such as glasses or hair to ensure the noise cancellation is perfect for you as an individual.  

Unique Atmospheric Pressure Optimization will be music to the ears of frequent flyers, as this feature will cleverly tweak frequency response and microphone settings to better suit a higher altitude. Quick Attention Mode can be activated by the touch of an ear cup to reduce music volume and let in outdoor sound in close proximity. 

Reliable Wireless Control

Bluetooth 4.2 offers reliable connectivity so you can neatly pack your phone away in a bag or pocket without fear of dropouts. The WH-X1000M3s have also been designed for instantaneous sound transmission meaning there will be zero lip-sync issues when watching video content.   

You can even make use of inbuilt voice assistant technology, with a choice of Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Siri compatibility. You’ll be able to perform music changes and get information, reminders and notifications straight through your headphones. 

Speakerphone functionality will allow you to answer or hang-up your phone by a tap of an ear cup. You’ll even be able to adjust the call volume mid-call if desired. 

Long-Lasting Battery Life

The XM3s boast a speedy charge time and long battery life, going from empty to full in just 3 hours to give you a massive 30 hours of playtime. Using a standard USB-C cable, you can even make use of the Quick Charge feature which will glean a massive 5 hours of battery life from just 10 minutes of charge time. 

Sleek Design & Comfortable Fit

Thick, soft cushion ear cups make the WH-1000XM3s incredibly comfortable to wear for long periods whilst at the same time aiding noise cancellation by perfectly cupping the ear. The cushioned headband and pivoting earcups aid fit without verging into big and bulky, giving the WH-1000XM3s a refined look when compared to some wireless options on the market. 

Easy day-to-day use has been built into the WH-1000XM3s with handy touch controls allowing you to activate voice assistant, noise cancellation and answer phone calls without needing to reach for your phone. Volume adjustments and song skip, pause and play can all be easily completed through a series of touch commands directed to the headphones themselves.
