Original article:

The Sony WF-1000XM3 were released in summer 2019 (MSRP 249 euros) and were a little cheaper shortly afterwards. Another strong price slide came for Black Friday 2019. Let's take a look at the price history:

It is difficult to say how the price will continue because the model is still relatively new to the market. We recommend not spending more than 220 euros on it. A permanent price level of around 200 euros is conceivable for the future, because the competition in this type of device is growing every month.

Who are the Sony WF-1000XM3 for?

Sony shows proven strengths with the WF-1000XM3: the earbuds and the case are flawlessly processed. The sound is rich in detail, dynamic and transparent - true wireless earbuds from lower price ranges cannot keep up. The noise canceling (ANC) is effective and ensures a certain amount of calm when traveling by air or train - but the big over-ear Sony WH-1000XM3 (street price around 250 euros) is not quite there.

Here is the official manufacturer video:

The housings stick out a bit from the ears, which can lead to noise in wind (and activated ANC). Where Sony still needs to improve is the associated app, which reacts only sluggishly. After all, the possibility of volume control was handed in to the earbuds recently via software update - this is a real added value. We especially recommend Android users who place great value on sound quality. Most iPhone users are more likely to use AirPods Pro, which may have a weaker sound but are perfectly integrated into iOS and MacOS and are more comfortable to wear.
