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 Wiktor Winiewski ᠌

The headphones are the one positive aspect of this otherwise awful experience. Miscommunication amongst people on the street is the main issue. Their stuttering is persistent. At least every one hundred meters. There is an option to emphasize connection reliability, but doing so still results in gaps and considerably lower sound quality. If you put the phone in your left pocket, things go much better, however that's annoying for me because my bag is always on my right side. Another issue that can arise out on the street is the wind. A breeze can turn into a hurricane in no time. The noise-cancelling mics are to blame, I believe. To turn off noise reduction is pointless. The following example demonstrates the point. It's scratchy to the point where you might as well not touch the lid at all and still see scratches all over it. The case lost its shine after being worn for two weeks. Not compatible with laptop. But Sony is too savvy for a penny Chinese to do it.
