Amazing! Wish I bought them sooner
I absolutely love my headphones. I suffer from Misophonia and these headphones have made my stress levels around that soooo much better. I couldn't believe at first how effective they are at blocking noises, especially the bass sounds that just drive me crazy if someone nearby is playing loud music.
I find them really helpful when I'm working and need to concentrate. I just pop these on, with the noise cancelling on but no sound playing through and I just don't get anywhere near as distracted.
The sound quality is good too, I use them every ...Read more
evening when watching my laptop with my son sleeping next to me! And I love the quick charge feature. I often forget to charge them seeing as I use them so often. The only downside is I wish I could sleep with them on! They cancel out my husbands snoring 99% of the time!!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Love Them!
I was looking for a new set of headphones after I was tired of my Sennheiser cables always failing over time.
I tried it in store before buying, and loved the touch sensor for the music controls. It's definitely not necessary but a fun little feature.
I would say the sound quality is maybe a tiny step down from my previous pair, but it's not really noticeable. Perhaps I was expecting a little more for the price. I'd recommend if possible giving them a go with your own music before purchasing.
And boy does this thing know how to noise-cancel! I love it. They're getting pretty popular, so if you take public transport be prepared for some little nods here or there.

Great headphones, excellent noise cancelling
I've purchased a bunch of headphones for our family to test and use flying overseas.
These by far have the best noise cancelling of any i could find to try
Better than the Bose QC35 and the Sennheisers. Both of which I will review.
There were some reviews online that said the gestures didn't work in the cold. I tried here in the mornings when it was 4 and 5 degrees ( C ) .. Maybe it needs to be colder. The gestures worked fine. No problem.
3.5mm jacks are great, case is the best of the lot, the Zip is smooth and well i love the zip. It's ros...Read more
e gold. included accessories are nice, it's USB -C, charging is very fast, and sound is great quality.. i'll see how they go on a plane and come back and make another comment. Don't think these are worth the price of $399... I saw some sales had them a hundred dollars less. 299 would be more reasaonable.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

An excellent pair of headphones, *if* you're able to get a pair without manufacturing issues.
The Sony XM3 are a high quality pair of headphones. The sound quality of the headphones are excellent. I didn't find the bass to be unnaturally high, I thought the sound profile was quite balanced out of the box. You can of course make excellent tweaks with the Sony Headphones Connect App, which are superior to Bose's, just because of that built-in EQ functionality alone.
The active noise-cancelling technology in these cans is amazing. The ANC is able to effectively block out continuous noise in the environment (public transport, the drone of ...Read more
traffic, etc). It isn't so effective with human voices, but is able to muffle them out reasonably well so you can still hear your music without needing to turn it up to compensate. You can also choose to reintroduce various levels of ambient noise while ANC is on, so it's very customisable. I've found the headphones to be quite comfortable, but just up to about 2-3 hours. At this point I find the headband pressure on my head to be noticeable, so I will need to take a break. I haven't noticed any 'clamping' effect on my ears. Ears can become a bit sweaty though, as these are closed-back headphones. Not uncomfortable though, just a little warm. Connectivity is good with these headphones. Bluetooth works perfectly on my Android & Windows devices. You can't connect to more than 1 device like the Bose QC35 II's, though. Range is also decent, although I have experienced a couple of drop-outs on occasion. Unfortunately with these headphones, at this price point (RRP AUD$500+), I've personally found that there is quite a lot of manufacturing variance present. The first pair I bought had a balance issue, where the right earcup was about 10% louder than the left, consistently. After I returned them and received my new, current pair, I had a new problem. The left earcup started making a static, popping sound while powered on, intruding quite noticeably onto the listening experience. This should not be happening on a pair of headphones that retail for such a high price. For this reason, I've removed 2 stars. If you get a pair without any manufacturing problems, they are currently the best noise-cancelling headphones you can buy right now.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Best noise cancelling headphones imo well worth it
Sony WH1000XM3 are the best noise cancelling headphones imo. Sounds great with pretty much everything and more bass than the Bose. They are also very durable, comfortable and the noise cancellation is top notch. Highly recommend these. However can't connect to more than one device at the same time.

BEST HEADPHONES!!
The noise canceling on these headphones are out of this world! The sound quality is great and has many great features! The app that you can download on your phone is easy to use and works well with the headphones. I'm glad i didn't get the bose ones.
I got them for half price so that's a bonus!

Very Good but could be improved
I've owned (and still own) Bose Noise Cancelling headphones - the QC-15 (now 6 years old) and the QC-35-II, and love them both. Bought the QC-35's because they're wireless, but the QC-15 is still going strong. I use them for work (phone calls) and listening to music, including on flights.
A colleague has the WH-1000 and was lyrical about it. I saw them at at JB-Hifi so tried them on, and they immediately felt very comfortable: evidently my ears are large, so they don't quite fit inside the QC-35's cups. The Sony's cups are a tiny bit larger so ...Read more

Wont fly without these headphones
I have used these headphones on flights and they are worth its weight in gold. Flying has become less of a chore with these cancelling out all the ambient noise.
Very comfortable but can get hot after a few hours of listening. The touchpad is very convenient but can sometimes misread a swipe if you do it diagonally (no fault of the headphones).
I would highly recommend these.

Best headphones I ever worn
This headphone is the best one that I have ever used. Sound quality is great! The app is awesome too. It detects whether I am walking or not and change the ANC according to it.
The ANC is by far the best compared to other headphones. Just covering the right side cause outside noise to flow through so you can hear what other people are talking.
It has a long battery life as well, though I never tested the full 25h. My daily usage is about 6h. And I only charge it once every 4 to 5 days.

Near perfect headphones!
Had this for more than 6 months now, and it still works like a charm! Everything from ANC to sound and build quality it's absolutely stunning! Only small inconvenience I have is its not water resistant in any way. When it rains I have to keep them, which I'm often sad. Can't part ways with it ever!

Excellent sound and noise-cancelling!
I use these headphones in the office, on planes and at home for music and gaming.
Sound quality is amazing.
Noise cancelling is second to none.
I wear glasses most of the time and the ear pads are comfortable for extended use - often 3-4 hours at a time without removing them.

Perfect!
I usually listen to music with these headphones while at work. It makes me 'disconnect' completely and allows me to focus. The noise cancelling works great! I've also tried this on a long 12h flight and this has been a lifesaver. Highly recommended.

Excellent performance
This Sony WH1000XM3B headphone is so great with its noise-canceling function. I use this headphone when I was on the train or bus. It is not heavy so I could wear it on a long trip. It has perfect sound delivery so I can enjoy music all the way home ignoring outside noises.

Worth the buck!
I'm very happy with this. Blocks out so much noise and feels quite comfortable even for long hours. Battery life is awesome, I hardly ever charged it. I love the modern sleek shape too. Makes my 2 hr commute a lot more bearable. It sounds really detailed and bright overall.

Excellent sounds quality, plastic feels a bit cheap
These are my first noise cancelling headphones, so I can't compare to others, but I've had many regular headphones and am impressed with the sound quality especially as they are bluetooth. The sound stage is good and the bass is easily enough to enjoy electronic music. I didn't find them uncomfortable over long listening periods, but do find they slip a little bit on my head and I need to adjust them from time to time.
I did find myself getting a bit annoyed by the voice recordings when you change settings and there's always a slight delay as ...Read more
you cycle through them. The build quality feels a little cheap, but they're surprisingly strong considering it's plastic. Wireless range works fine from the next room, but I don't tend to go much further than that. Very happy to have these as my travel companion especially for longer flights and I'm happy to say goodbye to my old pair :)Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Best NC Headphones.
We bought 4 of these before our trip to Thailand. Everyone loved them as they helped make the flights very peaceful and comfortable. Sadly there are only 2 colors Black and Silver (we got 2 black 2 silver).

After owning them for 2 days, I tried mine for the first time on a plane. I am getting static as the plane takes off, very annoying. Landing is OK. Should I take them back or is this normal? Thanks everyone, Mary.
