Noise-free, wire-free and worry-free: introducing Sony's new WF-1000XM3 headphones with Industry-leading Noise Cancellation[1]

06/07/2019

Enjoy the 1000X family's renowned premium sound on Sony's latest truly wireless headphones

The next level of silence with Dual Noise Sensor technology and HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e

Wire-free design, stable connectivity and comfortable fitting for total listening freedom

Long-lasting battery life and quick charging function to revolutionise your commute

Listen your way with Adaptive Sound Control, customisable touch controls and voice assistant

Sony today expands its renowned 1000X family with the addition of new generation truly wireless headphones - the WF-1000XM3. Sony's industry-leading[1] Noise Cancellation is improved further with the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e chip and Dual Noise Sensor Technology which delivers exceptional Noise Cancelling performance, enabling you to hear the music and nothing else.

The next level of silence

The WF-1000XM3 headphones feature Dual Noise Sensor technology that works with the new HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e to catch and cancel noise respectively, so that all attention is on your music. Thanks to Dual Noise Sensor Technology, one feed-forward microphone and one feed-back microphone on the surface of the headphones catch more of the ambient sound around you. Having caught the ambient sound, the dedicated HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e gets to work. The processor cleverly creates an inverted sound wave to offset bothersome background noise. It not only cancels more noise across almost all frequencies but also uses less power. Anything ranging from annoying aircraft cabin noise, to hustle and bustle on the city streets, is dramatically cancelled by the buds - so it's all about the music.

Stunning sound

Characteristic of the 1000X family, you can enjoy premium, high quality sound on the WF-1000XM3 buds and listen to your music the way that the artist intended. The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e also accomplishes stunning sound thanks to 24-bit audio signal processing and DAC with amplifier. Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX (DSEE HX ) upscales compressed digital music files including MP3 formats, to bring you closer to the quality of High-Resolution Audio. Fully immerse yourself in high quality sound, whether you're listening to music or enjoying the latest film on the go and thereby transform the dreaded commute into a fun and relaxing escape from the commotion around you.

True wireless, true freedom

The truly wireless design of the WF-1000XM3 buds allows you to move freely without the nuisance of getting tangled in wires. The WF-1000XM3 buds are small and light but manage to pack in a newly developed BLUETOOTH chip. This allows for L/R simultaneous BLUETOOTH transmission which means that both left and right earbuds receive audio content at the same time, rather than the conventional left-to-right relay BLUETOOTH transmission. Teamed with the new optimised antenna structure, this results in a highly stable connection, so nothing gets in between you and your music. Also, latency improvement means you can immerse yourself in the latest films on a paired device.

The WF-1000XM3 buds are specifically designed for improved comfort and stability in the ear. The ergonomic tri-hold' structure holds the earbuds firmly in place, with three supporting points for the ear. A high-friction rubber surface has also been included to ensure a stable fitting. With 4 sizes of hybrid earbuds and three sizes of triple comfort earbuds, you can find your perfect fit.

Clever convenience

The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e has a low power consumption, boosting the battery life and your listening time considerably. You can listen for up to 24 hours[2] with Noise Cancelling on, thanks to WF-1000XM3 earbuds' sleek case that doubles up as a charger, perfect for a battery boost on the go. The buds even have a quick charge function - just 10 minutes of charging gives you up to 90 minutes of battery life.

For ease, you can use Quick Attention mode to communicate without removing your earbuds. Simply place your finger over the touch panel of the left earbud to quickly lower the music volume and let the ambient sound in, so you can hear announcements or order a drink. Plus, with the fully customisable touch sensors on the earbuds[3], you can easily play, pause, skip songs or activate your voice assistant with simple taps. Additionally, the new Wearing Detection feature automatically pauses your music when you remove one of the earbuds from your ear and resumes playing when you put the earbud back in your ear, so you never miss a beat.

Optimised for the Google Assistant [4], you can control your headphones by voice, making the WF-1000XM3s the perfect commuter companion. The headphones are also compatible with the Sony | Headphones Connect app, where you'll find customisation features for sound, noise cancellation, touch controls and more.

The WF-1000XM3 model will be priced at approximately 250 and will be available from mid-August.
