Is Sony 1000xm3 a dream wireless headphones
or awkward noises and absence of water resistance certificate
make it a no-go device?
Watch this video till the end
and you going to find all answers you need
Hi, my name is Ilya
and today I will share my personal and independent opinion
about the Sony headphones
I need feedback from you
So please provide comments in the section below
and also like
and subscribe to this channel
In the box, I got a charging cable
but it is rather short
so I do not use it
Six extra pairs of earbud selection
Sony provides seven different sizes of earbud
four hybrid silicone buds
three triple-comfort buds
which feel slightly thicker than the standard ones
Personally, I am satisfied with this selection
and the rechargeable case with the copper lid
The case itself doubles as a battery pack
And the main part
is two wireless earbuds
held securely inside with the magnets
The Sony earbuds are not huge
but not quite petite as a typical wired headphone
The outer section of each earpiece is smooth plastic
with a small, glossy, circular patch on the surface of both
left and right buds
These patches are actually touch-sensitive control pads
Overall, I find them a comfortable, balanced fit, nice touch
but a bit oversized
Pairing the device was easy
Basically, opening the case,
taking the Sony earbuds out,
and the pairing mode is already triggered
That is confirmed by a voice
in each individual earbud
Every time I take the headphones out of their case
and put them in my ears
I hear a voice confirming that the Bluetooth connection
and how much charge is left
As I read, it is possible to connect the Sony headphones
up to eight devices
When I want to connect to a new device, it is a very simple way to do it
First of all I need to take it out of the case
and place it inside my ears
Then I need to touch with both index fingers the touchpads
and hold it for 7 seconds
After this, the voice tells me
that it is ready to be connected to a device
Then the only thing that is left
is to choose the headphones from the list of devices
Basically, touchpads
and the Sony App
are the two ways to communicate with the headphones
With a touchpad,
it is possible to switch between
three modes of operation
and by default,
the left earbud controls the change
The first tap activates a STANDARD mode
which I rarely use
The second tap activates an AMBIENT mode
When I need to be aware of the surrounding noises,
especially running on the street,
I use this mode
And the third touch turns on the NOISE CANCELING mode
which I personally love
This mode is powerful,
and I am surprised how Sony can deliver that
I do not hear many noises
even on a plane
and on public transportation,
it is just me and music
It is fair to mention that touchpads are rather small
and I usually hold the earbud with my thumb while taping with my index finger
The right pad is for playback controls
and having a conversation with a virtual assistant of your choice
both Siri and Google Assistant are supported
Removing one of the earpieces automatically pauses what I am listening to
and resumes when I put it back
It is also possible to control the volume through the touchpads
The Sony Headphones Connect app allows access to the headphones features and functionality
and here is a quick overview of the app
On the top right corner of the screen, there is a charging bar notification
The adaptive sound control determines my activity engagement
Obviously, I am not moving now
Then I can choose between different equalizer modes
It is also possible to change the default setting of pausing the music
once at least one of the headphones is taken off
Sonny app also might analyze an ear structure
I guess for some better acoustic and the noise cancelation experience
When it comes to the sound quality
there is an option to prioritize sound or connection
I always choose the sound
DSEE HX is a sound processor and it enhances the sound quality
However, it also drains the battery
As I mentioned previously, the app allows changing touch sensors functions
Last but not least, there are many languages available to choose from
if English is not your first language
I simply love the quality of the sound
especially in the noise-canceling mode
So far, I was never disappointed with the quality of the sound
On the same time, the call quality is okay
I would say nothing extraordinary
When possible, I prefer to use
That is maybe because the mic is too far away from a mouth
The good thing is that it is possible to answer a call
with a simple touch
However, sometimes I hear asymmetrical beeping sounds
and I am not sure what causes it
but it is a bit annoying
The battery life is another highlight of this device
On a single charge the earbuds last for about 6 hours
If not using the noise cancelation mode, then around 8 hours
But with a case, the total charge lasts for over 30 hours
Besides, just 10 minus of charging adds 90 minutes of battery charge
Are the Sony WF-1000XM3s good for running and/or the gym?
It depends
First of all, it is not waterproof
Potentially it can be a problem during a workout
I have never experienced any issues so far
but I am aware of the issue
Second, the headphones are rather big and during one of my outdoors push-ups
it fell out of the ear to the sand
Happily, I was able to clean it once back home and nothing happened
but since then I am extra careful
In short, just 17 grams for both earbuds
over 6 hours of charge on one charge or 32 hours in total
and excellent noise cancellation
makes SONY 1000 xm3 a great wireless device for me
However, small touchpads
random beeping at times
and a possibility of damaging the device during a workout or under a rain
might make it not suitable for some users
