WH 1000XM3 AMBIENT SOUND CONTROL UPDATE
UPDATE : Two months have passed since I purchased the Sony WH-1000XM3 and I have been using them every day for about 8-9 hours (I am not exaggerating), so I can say without doubt that they have improved my well-being significantly. And the good news is that the ANC technology works just as good as the day I got the headphones, but the bad news is that the build quality is so poor that you just can’t avoid breaking them. UPDATE : After two years and almost daily use, I need to update the review to showcase how these earbuds have held up until now.
Otherwise, let’s embark in this noise-canceling journey with the Sony WH-1000XM3. But, if you’re ‘stuck’ in a noisy apartment or office for any possible reason, then some professional grade ear plugs or some passive noise isolating headphones (if you can’t stand wearing the ear plugs for longer periods of time) could also do the trick. Note: Before spending a large sum of money on noise canceling headphones, you should always try to find better (and cheaper) ways to deal with the noise problems, such as talking to your neighbors and letting them know that you work from home (or that you need to sleep), talking to the landlord or even considering moving out. But, as the title suggests, there’s a less happy motive for me to check these pair of headphones than the simple joy of enjoying music with some high quality hardware, so can it truly cover the sound of noisy neighbors? Is the technology there yet? The overall attenuation seems to be at about -30dB (doing surprisingly well even with higher frequencies, where it can reach up to -40dB attenuation), so the Sony WH-1000XM3 do look promising on this chapter.
Of course, Sony has also worked at improving the sound quality and, even if they’re still not audiophile level, they’re close enough.
