Hey all - thanks for the love and support on this video already! A LOT of you guys requested a review of the Sony WF-1000XM3 after my Bose QuietComfort buds review, so here's how they compare to those and the Sennheiser Momentum 2. The mic test was in pretty rough conditions, so hopefully it gives you an accurate picture of how well all three options dealt with it.

Seems to be a lot of requests for the Jabra 85t (which I have on preorder) but let me know if there's anything else you guys want me to review next? It'd really mean a lot of you guys went over to my personal Instagram and supported me over there too (www.instagram.com/mrkwd) 🔥

Hope you guys are all safe and well - we're back in national lockdown here in England for the next month. I've worked from home for the last few years anyway so I'm pretty used to it, but not being able to see family is gonna be a drag. But still, I'm massively grateful just to be healthy, not be stuck at home on my own and to tech especially, for making it more bearable.

See you in next week's video!

Wow the Bose mic quality was really impressive how it removed the extra noise.

I may have found Jim's review room alternative, now that he left YouTube. Good channel and quality content.

I’m curious how you would rate the sp800n, they’re more or less the same but address your fit and ip rating problems

[douglepong]

The WF-1000XM3 are the best ear buds bar none. I agree that they're not as comfortable, and stay in place as well as something like the Apple Air pods but the sound quality absolutely destroys everything on the market. It's impossible for these ear buds to sound bad because you can literally make them sound like anything you want... That statement alone should be enough to justify buying these headphones. I take mine to the gym, and workout with mine but I can see why some people can't use these for the gym. The ear buds come with 8 pairs of tips, and if all 8 of those tips can't fit your ears than you're out of luck. The ear buds only sound good with a proper seal. Without a proper seal these will definitely fall out of your ears, and won't give you the sound quality, and active noise canceling you're looking for when purchasing these ear buds. I pray to god that one of those 8 tips fit the ears of whoever purchases this product because they are seriously missing out if this product doesn't fit them.

Bose mic is the best then sony and last momentum 2 🙄😂 I didn’t like the momentum

[philippesandmeier]

I've had the Sony for about a year now as well. I love the size, fit and finish of WF-1000XM3 and they still fit me better than the AirPods Pro, the Bose, or any other IEMs. They are comfortable for hours and have a great battery life. The only thing I agree with you on is that the lack of a dust/waterproof rating is a downside. Another weakness are the microphones while making calls even after software upgrades. On the other hand, the sound quality is amazing relative to AirPods Pro which can't compete! Music with or without ANC comes through with authority and precision throughout the frequency range. Highs are good but not painful, mids (voices) excellent and the bass good and precise. Bluetooth is excellent and drops are very infrequent in comparison to my RHAs which used to drop regularly, even if my iPhone was close by.

Why does he wear the xm3's like that ? 😔 He doesnt even know how to wear them properly....

And the Sonys mic sounded eay better.... Sounding robotic lol those where the other Get your ears checked buddy

[neurway]

Didn’t even try to put the earbuds correctly 🤦‍♂️

[quarkoo]

Hab sie Ende April bekommen, bin sehr zufrieden, hab einige negative Rezensionen lesen können, kann diese aber nicht bestätigen. Sound top, Bedienung top und naja, wirklich schön sind bis jetzt keine bis auf die von Sennheiser. Meine Meinung

[neliomp]

These earphones are really poor !! Mine have failed just after the warranty run out. I did an internet search, and they are known to fail! Needing a replacement. The new Sony WF-1000XM4 have already started to fail already same issue. My recommendation is to stay away from Sony earphones. VERY EMBARRASSING SONY !!!

[andorandor]

momentum 2 are best as I have the Sony as well but the momentum 2 just sounds better

[MohitPandey]

although an old release now but i felt the sony sound signature and battery life is a big pros what made me get this one in December 2021. got them for $120 i hope its a good purchase and product would last for few years as the features of 1000XM3 still looks futuristic backed by an app that can tweak in features with new updates.

[masterofgames]

I bought my xm3 yesterday for $129.99 new, I cant wait to try it.

[imbatts]

bro you didnt have the xm3s all the way in your ears 😭

[TheBnary]

Just received my Sony XM3s - absolutely brilliant!!

[muza]

Thanks dude!! 👌🏻 Hope your reviews reach a wider audience over time, very quality content! 😎

[binodonman]

soundcore life q30 bro!!. It seems pretty good

[Juhohaa]

I dropped my Sony WF‑1000XM3 earbud into a bucket of water. It's still working flawlessly but I bet that the case wouldn't have survived that though. So I can say that the buds has at least some water resistant. I hope they still work after posting this comment :|

[Sabundy]

I have had my M3 earbuds for over a year now and I still absolutely love them. Design and build quality remains excellent, the app is really good, fantastic battery life, and truly good quality sound. As for IP rating I did drop one in the sink while I was running water, and it got fairly wet, though there was no problem with it afterwards. So I have to assume it has some degree of an IP rating. There are some improvements that can be made such as wing I cannot wait to see what SONY does with the M4 earbuds.
