  • Review Summary

    Is it worth it to buy the Sony WF-1000XM3 when a lot of new earbuds have been launched recently? That is exactly what I will be talking about in this Sony WF-1000XM3 review. This TWS earbud came a long back, but some people still are considering it. The major reason is the effective ANC. The ANC was so strong that it worked in all sorts of setups.

    I also loved the sound quality offered by these buds. However, there is a little room for improvement that I shall discuss in the coming sections. I curated this Sony WF-1000XM3 review based on my 15 days of usage, and here’s all that I found.

    PROS

    • Powerful ANC
    • Adaptive Sound
    • Responsive touch control

    CONS

    • No water-resistance
    • Bulky

    Sony WF-1000XM3 Price In India & Variants

    Sony WF-1000XM3 Design And Comfort

    Starting my Sony WF-1000XM3 with the design part. Unlike the competitors, the Sony WF-1000XM3 is big. The overall weight of these TWS earbuds is 100 grams. Also, the charging case is not as easily pocketable as that of other earbuds like AirPods Pro or Realme Buds Air.

    The case is made up of plastic but gives a premium feel. There is a small LED status light on the outside of the case, which illuminates when the earbuds are charging. At the back, you get a Type-C charging port. The charging case features a magnetic interior that secures the earbuds comfortably on the charging pins. You don’t need too much effort to open the case. In fact, I was able to open the lid using one hand as well. Furthermore, you don’t get a quick pairing button with this earbud.

    Coming to the earbuds, they are quite light in weight and are again made up of plastic with rubber tips. The top of each bud features the touch area which you can use to perform actions. Under the hood, both the bud come with dual microphones to fight external noise.

    Although you get additional six pairs of eartips with the Sony WF-1000XM3 to find your perfect fit, it can be challenging to keep the earbuds in place while running or exercising. As for me, I had to continuously shove the buds back into the ears.

    Also, the design of the earbuds can make it painful to wear the buds for longer hours. I could only wear them for 15-20 minutes before the discomfort started to kick in.

    The Sony WF-1000XM3 lacks water-resistance support, which can be a point of concern for many. But I will leave that to you to decide.

    Verdict

    That concludes my Sony WF-1000XM3 review. Although the Sony WF-1000XM3 came a lot before but still has a lucrative set of features to offer to the users. The earbuds are placed at a higher price end. However, when it comes to powerful active noise cancellation at this price range, there is hardly a match. The fit can be a point of question for some people as the buds are larger than the regular size. But the sound quality and large battery life make it worth it.
