The Sony WF-1000XM3 noise cancelling headphones are perfect for travels, especially during the festive period

Everyone has their own ways when it comes to celebrating the festive period. Some spend time with loved ones at home, others go on staycations, and there are those who travel long journeys—flights, ships, and trains. During the commute, one might prefer to be in a state of peace and tranquility. Thanks to the advent of technology, we are now officially living in the zeitgeist of massive technological advancement. A major by-product of that is the Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling headphones. These are the reasons why the addition to the 1000X family is perfect for your next trip, whenever and wherever.

Silence is indeed a bliss

Let all attention be on your music. How? The new HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e works with Dual Noise Sensor technology so that noise can be captured and cancelled respectively. In addition to that, you will be able to experience more of the ambient sound around you because of the one feed-forward microphone and one feed-back microphone on the headphones’ surface. Therefore, whether you’re in a packed train or a flight filled with crying babies, the WF-1000XM3 can dramatically remove any unwanted sounds.

There is no doubt that one would expect top notch listening experience in addition to the noise cancelling feature that the WF-1000XM3 provides. The good news is that the wireless headphones has stunning sound thanks to 24-bit audio signal processing and DAC with amplifier. Again—this is accomplished by the new HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e. Moreover, expect superb audio quality as a result of the upscaling of compressed digital music files with the assistance of Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX. Imagine listening to The Sound by Carly Rae Jepsen, while you’re travelling, with these headphones and actually being immersed in brilliant sound performance.

Where are the strings?

No, they are none. The Sony WF-1000XM3 noise cancelling headphones are wireless. Truly wireless. Despite the size of the WF-1000XM3 buds, there is a Bluetooth chip developed for and inserted into the headphones. What does that mean? What does that do? Well—unlike conventional left-to-right relay transmission, both earbuds receive audio content at the same time. What you get is an extremely stable wireless connection especially with a new optimised antenna structure. Have you ever watched a film on the television with sound that doesn’t sync time-wise with what you see? These headphones are low in latency, Therefore, everything on screen precisely corresponds with what you hear.

It is really important that products we utilise are comfortable and user-friendly. The ergonomic tri-hold structure of the WF-1000XM3 ensures that the buds are firmly in place. In order for fitting to be stable, Sony has included a high-friction rubber surface. In the box, you will find four sizes of hybrid earbuds and three sizes of triple comfort earbuds. This means that you don’t have to worry about loose cannons. You don’t want to get to your travel destination just to realise your headphones are missing!

Why so easy?
