Review on Wireless headphones Sony WH-1000XM3, silver by Vassil Nikov ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Low quality, I will not buy this anymore.

The latest 4.1.1 release should not be installed since it has the potential to completely disable noise cancellation in headphones. I don't see how this is possible in the year 2022, yet with ate 4.1.1, Sony effectively disabled noise reduction on some devices. If you update to the most recent version of ate, you may notice that the noise reduction feature no longer functions. For some reason, no one highlighted this issue in the comments, even though it has been reported on reddit, w3bsit3-dns.com, and the Sony community forums for over a month. The headphones' volume is about right for a 5k closed-captioned movie. We mainly got it for the noise canceling features, and I'll write a review after I return the broken ones and get replacements.

Pros
  • Before updating to ate 4.1.1, advantages included a comfortable fit, easy touch controls, less strain on the ears, and less background noise.
Cons
  • It's absurd to have this kind of issue on a premium product and not solve it for months. -The latest ate has a potential to deactivate noise reduction (see the comment). - I recently tied the knot. Sony declined to assist me and gave me the impression that I would have to pay to have my new headphones fixed (at an ATTENTION cost equal with new headphones) because they are not from the year 2022. At least in this case, Amazon provided excellent customer service and genuinely wanted the client to come back by returning the money and picking up the headphones at his own expense.
