Review on Wireless headphones Sony WH-1000XM3, silver by Ognian Mateev ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is really good, Im glad I bought it.

Don't listen to anyone; instead, go to the store and listen since sound is such a personal experience. Headphones. I wrote dry statistics in the Advantages and Disadvantages section and sound, only subjective impressions below: 1. High frequencies are good because they make everything clear and loud. No echo (reverb) effect. Not as impressive and spotless as Bowers & Wilkins, for instance, but respectable. 2. Positive emotions are not evoked by medium frequencies. Even though a wide range of frequencies is collected (at least judging by the graphs and specs), if everything is more or less with synthetic music, then with a variety of live instruments (rock, folk, jazz), the sound becomes a chaos. Details are hard to make out, and it sounds flat. 3. Low frequencies are slightly boosted by default, however this is undetectable until you compare it directly to the Bose QC35II or Parrot Zik 3. There is not enough width and volume on stage for the bass to be booming, elastic, and percussive when needed. It also seems to hit one place that is not very large in size and does not envelop with its depth where it should. The low frequencies are somewhere else on the pickup, but all the instruments are here and close by. We receive generally good sound, but nothing more. The stage is too broad, the music is clear but too light and airy, which is the main issue. Suitable for watching movies, watching videos on YouTube, listening to music, or reading an audiobook while flying, but not for head-deep musical immersion. It's critical to understand before purchasing that these headphones aren't only for sound; rather, they serve as a universal soldier for everything and everywhere. It is unfortunate that there are so few products with a similar set of features available, with the possible exception of Bose. This is a fantastic alternative if harmony and adaptability are more important to you than sound; otherwise, you'll be let down.

Pros
  • - 30 hours of battery life (and quick charge) - Effective noise suppression - Support for any contemporary codec: Large numbers of official service centers in the CIS for AptX HD and LDAC - Removable ear cushions - Folding style
Cons
  • The following drawbacks of the device: - Poor sound quality for the price - Prolonged listening causes the ears to "bath" - Only one audio source can be connected at once - Touch control delays outside in cold weather - Unreliable touch control with false positives - Sony spends a lot of effort fixing software issues.
