Sony Truly Wireless Headphones (ANC) – Only Music. Nothing Else.
So i got the sony thousand xm3 and i've been using them for about two to three weeks now and i have to say i'm pretty blown away by just how good these are it checks all boxes in terms of design active noise cancellation features music output and clarity battery backup and even price i think it's pretty competitively priced given other products in this price segment now it was launched globally a year back and it's launched in india very recently but even in 2020 i think these are just a great pair of earphones to own and i think it's very easy to
Recommend them now i've got my own reason so we'll pick up a design but first it'll be great if you could drop a like hit that subscribe button and that bell icon and help me move closer to my 200 000 subscriber go anyway let's move on and talk about design first the entire unit is nfc enabled so a simple tap with your nfc enabled phone can get you connected the case is probably one of the most unique and good looking cases i've ever seen it's definitely bigger than most but
Again it's also better looking than most but in any regular jeans i could easily house them so they definitely take a bit more space in your pocket but i just love how it looks the soft matte finish that metallic bronze copper color satisfying magnetic grab and the case closing it just feels very polished and classy the earpieces themselves look great they have that matte finish and the same copper bronze accents that you saw in the case
Their size is pretty unique too you know they're not as big as let's say the bose soundsport or uh the airpods pro you know they don't hang out as much but they're also not as snug as let's say the galaxy butts plus or the galaxy buds live you've got touch controls to control music playback accept or reject calls and even fire up your voice assistant of your choice you get this whole range of ear tips and this is important for that active noise cancellation to
Work really well you better select the right tip for your earpiece and you have to really lock it in so that it creates enough of passive seal and anc becomes a lot more effective that way okay one downside to these they are not water resistant so you can't wear them even in light showers or a sweaty workout besides they don't really look like your usual workout earphones though you can totally wear them while you're working out okay so let's
Now talk about features and let's start with active noise cancellation to begin with there are two parts to noise cancellation one is passive cancellation that is you just have the earphones nicely snug into your ear with the right ear tip that it creates a seal to block half the noise without doing much and then there is active noise cancellation which is where the qn1e chip inside does its magic to block out ambient
Noise now they do a great job once you hit about 50 or 60 volume you can literally just zone in on the music and not be bothered with anything around you can work in total peace or even if you're commuting outdoors now i've not tested the active noise cancellation capabilities on an airborne flight for obvious reasons but given my experience on ground i can confidently say that they would do a great job blocking out noise even when you're inside an aircraft so
If that's what you wanted to know there's also a headphones app that offers you more flexibility and control over your earphones now you could completely do without the app but there are some smart features built in like adaptive sound control where the app would keep track of your surroundings and movement to change noise cancellation strength and levels and even volume and there are some other tweaks that you could make within the app to better suit your earphone usage all right now let's talk about the music
Output the sound quality and while this is so difficult to explain because it's something you really need to feel but here's what i'll leave you with the music output it's really clean and clear and loud and with just the right amount of bass the music output is just super crisp the beats are just so sharp and pure i can totally enjoy all kinds of music on these your pieces and they're just plenty loud and then couple that with anc i don't think there's anything you can
Really complain about now from a call quality perspective i think they're pretty good they're definitely better than the galaxy buds plus that i've been using both in terms of clarity as well as volume one issue though the active noise cancellation it does not kick in when you're on phone calls though that would have been great and now let's talk about battery and in general i think all these earphones have great battery backup i mean i'm not that much of a heavy user so for me they go on for about a week
Once i've fully charged them now the guys at sony they say that the earphones can give you six hours of non-stop playback with anc turned on and then this guy over here can charge these four times over so that's 24 hours plus six 30 hours with anc turned on and if you turned off anc you could extend that to 40 hours 8 hours plus 32 hours so that's that's great i think and now let's talk about the price the more sensitive piece and these guys are right up in the alley
With the both soundsport and the airpods pro so from that perspective given its features and music output i think they're very competitively priced but it's still about 270 or 20 000 rupees which is a lot of money but hey if you're looking at top quality active noise cancelling great sounding good looking truly wireless earphones i would buy them in a heartbeat and even more so above the bose or the airpods pro but that's my personal preference
You have to keep in mind these are not water resistant so that may tilt your decisions in favor of something else so that's a decision i'll leave up to you but anyway that's my verdict on the sony thousand xm3 the truly wireless earphones if you've got any questions feel free to ask in the comment section below and as always guys don't forget to drop a like hit the subscribe button and that bell icon i'll see you guys in the next one
