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 Agata Huas-Brodecka ᠌

The flaws I list below aren't dealbreakers in my book; rather, they're collateral damage stemming from the design decisions and technical approaches taken. It's important to include them for accuracy's sake, and you never know when they might take on new significance for someone else. This cannot be a bottom since (1) the case is too big and (2) the bottom is rounded. Each time you set the case down, it will be on its side. The sensor on the earpiece puts off a deafening ring, so you don't want to touch it, but you have to. Thirdly, the software is lacking; upon powering on, the noise reduction feature is activated initially at the highest possible setting; the previously preset setting is not retained. Perhaps it will be fixed one day. 4. Strange liners out of the box. (For commentary, see below) Fifth, even in the noise-cancelling mode, some residual noise remains audible. A slight restriction is placed on the audio spectrum. Weak software; turning down the wind noise requires adjusting a separate slider. Because you still have to tap it with your finger, I gave up looking for it. Microphones are useless without it since they amplify even the slightest wind noise. Both wind noise reduction and voice augmentation are incompatible with one another. 7. Hear your breathing, the sound of swallowing, and even your steps. Naturally, you learn to accept it. Not even close to six hours of music playback time (with noise reduction turned off). It was around a 4.5-hour process. Faster charging helps make up for it.
