Aside from slightly fiddly touch controls, there’s really very little to complain about here. The noise cancellation is still absolutely unmatched, and it’s backed up by audio that’s almost as good. Throw in reliable Bluetooth connections, 30-hour battery life, and (joy of joys) USB-C charging, and these are basically the best wireless headphones around right now.

Quienes ya cuenten con el modelo anterior no necesitarán adquirir los Sony WH-1000XM3, ya que la compañía japonesa solo ha introducido pequeñas mejoras que no son suficientes como para desembolsar los casi 400 € que cuestan estos auriculares inalámbricos. En cambio, para todos los demás, no existen mejores cascos en el mercado. Sony ha creado una tecnología de cancelación de ruido revolucionaria que permite adaptar el sonido a tu actividad. Además son más portátiles y cómodos que nunca.

Old but not obsolete, the WH-1000XM3 offer fantastic value for their price with a music performance and noise cancellation that’s as good as you can get around its price point.

While they’re not an all-out upgrade on last year’s WH-1000XM2, the Sony WH-1000XM3 make a lot of subtle tweaks to an already amazing pair of noise-cancelling headphones.
