Good value for money, I recommend it.

A month is mine.
The audio quality is excellent. for bluish teeth. I was generally dissatisfied by the bluetooth format and don't agree with certain experts' fervent declarations of the "unsurpassed sound quality" of this (and other) models. Even high-end Bluetooth "plugs" costing $5,000 or more (Senheiser, Sony, Honor) cannot match wired ones for playback quality. Although a lot depends on the phone and Bt version, there might be sound disruptions. When making a purchase, keep this in mind and pay attention. Therefore, Sony MDR-EX650AP, which costs three times less and has no hemorrhoids with sound stuttering or lag, sounds better than XM3. There is no noise reduction on these, just wires. However, I still enjoy wiretapping, albeit less for places where huge money is involved, and the quality of the MX3 is sufficient (in my opinion) for the subway, street, sports, and other activities.

The quality does slightly increase when DSEEHX is connected. In terms of quality, I found no difference between "stable connection priority" and "sound priority."

In general, Sony created headphones that require friendship, and this is one instance when the phrase "user manual" isn't just for show. On the other hand, with good nozzle selection, proper work with the sensor, and customizing the software "for yourself," this is a very pleasant, albeit pricey, device in comparison to competitors. They can offer you a lot of unpleasant shocks when starting "from scratch." In November, I purchased it at a discount for 12 from a Sony-branded store. The best pricing, in my opinion, is between 8 and 9, with the remaining amount being a brand fee.

Pros

Sound. They accurately replicate electronic music (Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, U96, Solar Fields), "sag" on rock and metal (Iron Maiden, Rainbow, Helloween), but not to a point that it becomes problematic. Easy to use (with certain caveats) - I personally pair with the phone quickly, my ears don't hurt from wearing them for a long time, and they communicate with you in a lovely female voice)))

Cons

There are specific points in use, which are described below, such as the price and the lack of water protection, at least at the level of splash protection. Battery. These apparently "long-playing" headphones did not function for me even for two hours with all the "improvers" set on, including the equalizer, the noise reduction, and the DSEEHX system on BT 4.0. If the equalizer and noise reduction are disabled while usage, the declared 4h + are gained. Perhaps you will be able to see the exact 6 hours of work claimed by the manufacturer if you convert to BT 5.0 and stop using any gadgets at all. Let me give you some sound advice, Sony: either consider the power usage of your devices, avoid include them in products, or at the very least declare honestly that they last 6 hours only with precisely defined settings. I didn't give up on the equalizer and noise reduction, which together take up about half of the device's working time. Sensor. He like being stroked but dislikes it when they hammer him)))). All humor aside. The sensor works occasionally when you touch it with your finger, but when you slide your finger across it, everything clicks into place. Volume. I have enough, but my supply is virtually exhausted and my margin is very small. I acknowledge that the level may not be sufficient when listening to "quiet" records from the 1980s and 1970s.
