Review on Sony WF-1000XM3 Black Truly Wireless Earbuds with Mic, up to 32 Hours Battery Life, Stable Bluetooth Connection, Wearing Detection and Alexa Built-in for Noise Cancelling by Amit Amit ᠌

Of course, I might have gotten married, but the quality is terrible compared to the identical wired headphones sold by Sony for $1.5 thousand. Many 80s and 90s metal songs become disorganized in the middle. Default mode cannot be changed; the noise-cancelling feature is always activated, degrading the audio quality. In the same train car, the noise reduction option has the opposite effect of what was intended and instead gently increases the noises of the subway (not all, some still muffle, but the external microphone does a pretty good job of amplifying the garbage external sound and spoiling the composition). It's more effective to block outside noise with regular earplugs than with these headphones' ear cushions in either of their noise canceling modes. The "ambient sound control" mode (not to be confused with noise reduction) does something absolutely baffling: it broadcasts ambient sounds into the ear in a very subpar manner, which is acceptable for podcasts but not at all suitable for music. The so-called "360 reality" audio does not live up to its name. Turning them on takes too long; even if you need them immediately, you'll have to wait through the "power on, bluetooth connected, battery roughly 50 percent" message then remove the headphones, which can take up to 5 seconds. The size of the headphones is notable; while this is not necessarily a drawback, it is something to keep in mind. Interruptions in wireless communication are incredibly frustrating, yet they are a common failing of the wireless industry as a whole. Keep in mind that they are present as well. I had hoped for at least a passable sound from the Sony company, on par with wired headphones costing $300, based on the overwhelming majority of the comments praising the sound quality; however, in most of the older compositions, the sound becomes an incoherent hodgepodge of incoherent sounds instead of music under continuous noises. Attempting to resolve the issue by switching codecs or phones was unsuccessful. The cheapest Xiaomi airpods from China nearly always have better sound quality. To the extent that it was possible, I gave back the headphones.
