Sony WF-1000XM3
Reviews
With the WF-1000XM3, Sony has brought its true-wireless earbuds up to the level of its best-in-class headphones. Powerful noise-cancellation, improved Ambient Sound mode and incredible sound quality make these the best option under $300. And really, they're probably your best bet at any price.
I wish these went through the rigors to receive an official IP rating. If you could exercise with them, without worrying about water damage, they would be undoubtedly more versatile and alluring than the Beats Powerbeats Pro. Alas, every product has its shortcomings, and even with their foibles, the Sony WF-1000XM3 are some of the best true wireless earbuds to date.
Apple’s $249 AirPods Pro emerged and they’re a wonder, proving themselves the WF-1000XM3’s equal in terms of noise cancellation and coming very close on sound quality. They still don’t offer Sony’s exceptional battery life, but iPhone users, in particular, may feel their IPX4 sweat resistance and hands-free access to Siri are compensation enough.
