The Sony Headphones Connect app has been around for a while but it gives a little more control over some of the functions of the WF-1000XM3s. There’s no battery indicator on the case here, but the red LED light on the front blinks rapidly if it doesn’t have enough juice to fully charge the headphones. But none of those models are noise-cancelling earbuds.

Only the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 buds, with nine hours battery life from the buds themselves, plus four additional charges from the case, can raise the bar. The Apple AirPods are five hours per charge (+19 from the case) while the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless are four hours (+8 from the case). Turn off the noise-cancelling and the battery life jumps to eight hours, with the case bumping it up to an impressive total of 32 hours. If you’re caught short, just 10 minutes of charging time is enough to breathe 90 minutes of life into them.

You get six hours of playback as standard, while the case has enough power for an extra three charges, giving a total of 24 hours when using Bluetooth and noise-cancelling together. Sony has made big strides with the WF-1000XM3s’ battery life. The top is hinged and coloured in copper, which looks particularly striking when combined with the black finish of our review sample. The case is narrower than the one for the outgoing WF-1000Xs, but marginally deeper and taller – no doubt partly due to the shape and size of the new earpieces. It’s quite chunky, compared to the compact cases that house the Apple AirPods or the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1s. Featuresīattery life (charging case) 18 hours (BT + ANC)Īs is the norm with true wireless earbuds, the Sony WF-1000XM3s come with their own charging case. They’re not aimed specifically at sporty types and gym-goers, though you’ll no doubt see plenty of people wearing them there, but for less strenuous activities, such as whacking a few golf balls down at the local driving range, they'll be ideal. Overall, we find them a comfortable, balanced fit – snug without being too intrusive. The intrusion is kept to a minimum, but you still feel nicely isolated. The headphones enter the ear at a slight downward angle, you then have to twist them up to lock them in place. It’s a good selection, and more than you get with many rivals. Sony provides seven different sizes of earbud four ‘hybrid silicone’ buds and three ‘triple-comfort’ buds, which feel slightly thicker than the standard ones. There is even a special high-friction rubber on the surface of the main chamber to help with stability. Sony has implemented a new ‘Tri-hold structure’ for the WF-1000XM3, which focuses on three key points in your ear to give the headphones better support. These patches are actually touch sensitive control pads the functions vary depending on the earpiece.

The outer section of each earpiece is smooth plastic with a small, glossy, circular patch on the surface of both left and right buds.
