Review on Sony WF-1000XM3 Silver True Wireless Noise-Canceling Earbuds Bundle with Travel Case and Memory Foam Tips by Nicole King

Revainrating 2 out of 5

They would be great if only they could stay in my ears

The sound quality is severely overshadowed by the chunky design. I've tried (unsuccessfully) about a dozen earbuds of different shapes/sizes to keep them in my ear. The ones that are most effective make me feel like I'm going to hurt my eardrums, but still don't give me confidence that I can do much more than go with them. Forget walking or bending over. For some reason there are no "winged" or "ribbed" (whatever they're called?) headphones on the market that fit this model. I've tried secondary versions for other models and they work great for keeping the earbuds in place, but they interfere with some of the sensors that signal each earbud to turn off. WHY WHY WHY Sony doesn't make winged ear pads? It's a big, beefy earbud -- much bigger and heavier than Apple AirPods -- so it needs more support than clinging to my eardrums.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Minor issues
