Advanced noise cancellation

The noise cancelling technology in the WF-1000XM3 is the most advanced ever in truly wireless headphones, with our HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e. So you can lose yourself completely in your music.

Dual Noise Sensor Technology

Dual microphones – one feed-forward and one feed-back – on the surface of the headphones catch more of the ambient sounds of your surroundings, whether it’s in-flight noise, city traffic or office chatter.

HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e

Having caught the ambient sound, the dedicated HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e gets to work. It not only cancels significantly more noise across almost all frequencies ­but also uses less power.

Exceptional sound with minimal distortion

The multi-talented HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e combines Digital Noise Cancelling, 24bit Audio Signal Processing, and a Digital-to-Analog converter with headphone amplifier. The result? Stunning sound with minimal distortion.

Upscale digital music with DSEE HX

Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX (DSEE HX™) upscales compressed digital music files, bringing them closer to the quality of High-Resolution Audio. 

6mm driver unit

A tiny yet powerful 6mm driver unit sits inside the headphones to deliver rich, clear, expansive sound.

Stable, reliable Bluetooth® connectivity

A Bluetooth chip, which transmits sound to left and right ears simultaneously, coupled with optimised antenna design ensures a stable connection and outstanding listening. Low audio latency makes for enjoyable viewing too.

Perfect for TV shows, movies and more

Watching video content on your smartphone or tablet? The advanced wireless connection on the WF-1000XM3 syncs what you see on screen precisely with what you hear on your headphones for more enjoyable viewing.

Ultimate listening freedom

A new Bluetooth® chip and optimised antenna design provide a stable connection for hour upon hour of high-quality wireless streaming.

Earbuds stay snug and secure

A high-friction rubber surface keeps the noise cancelling earbuds snug and secure in your ear so they won’t slip out unexpectedly.

Ergonomic Tri-hold structure for a secure fit

The noise cancelling earbuds are ergonomically designed to make contact with three different points on your ear for a secure, comfortable fit.

Optimised antenna design

The placement of the headphones’ Bluetooth® antenna has been optimised to ensure a wider coverage. This helps keep the signal strong for uninterrupted streaming.

Handy magnetic charging case

Put your noise cancelling headphones back into the charging case and they’ll nestle into place with a satisfying snap thanks to a magnetic interior. A USB-C cable lets you recharge the case quickly and easily, ready for another day’s listening.

Quick charging when you need it

Sometimes you need music, fast. So if your headphones are running low on power, a 10-minute quick charge in the charging case gives you up to 90 minutes of play time. 

Up to 24 hours of listening2

On a full charge, the headphones offer 6 hours of power and the handy charging case provides a further 3x charges to keep you going throughout the day. That’s up to 24 hours of noise-free listening. With noise cancelling off, it’s even longer – 8 hours of power on a full charge, with a further 3x charges from the charging case, for up to 32 hours of play time.

Automatic pause and play

A proximity sensor in each earbud can detect whether you’re wearing one or both and adapts playback accordingly. Take out one earbud and the music automatically pauses on both sides. Put the earbud back in and the music automatically resumes playing.

Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to whatever you do

The Sony | Headphones Connect app offers Adaptive Sound Control, a smart function that automatically detects what you’re up to – for example, travelling, walking, or waiting – then adjusts ambient sound settings to suit the situation. You can also customise the settings to your preferences.

Just say the word with Voice Assistant

Enjoy entertainment, connect with friends, get information, listen to music and notifications, set reminders, and more. With the Google Assistant3, you just have to ask.

Clearer hands-free calling

Conversation flows freely with easy, hands-free calling. The WF-1000XM3 headphones deliver clearer voice quality and you can take calls using either, or both, of the earbuds. This allows you to alternate their recharging or hear calls clearly in noisy environments.

Be in control of your listening

With the Sony | Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. Meanwhile the Equalizer lets you customise sound levels to suit your music.

Customisable touch controls

If you want to customise your touch controls, no problem. The Sony | Headphones Connect app lets you assign alternative options, such as Google Assistant, to each earbud.

Modern classic style

From the headphones with their clean, minimalist look to the charging case with its tactile, high-end finish, it’s all about elegant, understated style.

Control at your fingertips

WF-1000XM3 headphones feature intuitive touch control settings – for example, tap on the left earbud to change from Noise Cancelling to Ambient Sound, or double tap on the right to skip to the next track.

Choose your colour

The WF-1000XM3 headphones and carrying case come in a choice of colours to suit your style.

Everything you need

With 3 sizes of triple comfort earbuds and 4 sizes of long hybrid silicone rubber earbuds included4, you can find the perfect fit for your ears to maximise sound quality and minimise outside noise. A USB-C charging cable is also included in the box.
