Top notch design, class-leading noise-cancelling and decent battery life make the Sony WF-1000XM3 True Wireless Headphones a worthy purchase, even if they have been usurped by the WF-1000XM4.

Sony’s hit a home run with the WF-1000XM3. Terrible name, excellent set of earbuds. Packing genuinely impressive noise cancelling technology, brilliant sound, rock-solid connectivity and even long battery life into wireless earbuds is something of an achievement.

Aunque son más caro que la mayoría de los auriculares inalámbricos, los WF-1000XM3 merecen la pena, ya que su calidad es indiscutible.  Ofrecen una excelente cancelación activa del ruido, funciones a través de las teclas táctiles que resultan de lo más práctico y una calidad de sonido fantástica. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?

The WF-1000XM3 offer superb audio, a better design and terrific noise cancellation. They’ve been replaced by the WF-1000XM4, but they remain an excellent pair of earbuds – and they’re now much cheaper than when they first went on sale
