Industry-leading noise cancelation
The noise-canceling technology in the WF-1000XM3 is the most advanced ever in truly wireless headphones, with our HD Noise-Canceling Processor QN1e. So you can lose yourself completely in your music.
Exceptional sound quality
Packed with advanced audio technology, the WF-1000XM3 noise-canceling earbuds not only deliver noise-free listening but also offer breathtaking sound quality.

0.24 " driver unit
A tiny-yet-powerful 0.24 " driver unit sits inside the headphones to deliver rich, clear, expansive sound.

HD Noise-Canceling Processor QN1e
The multi-talented HD Noise-Canceling Processor QN1e combines Digital Noise Cancelation, 24-bit Audio Signal Processing, and a Digital-to-Analog converter with headphone amplifier. The results? Stunning sound with minimal distortion.

Upscale digital music with DSEE HX
Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX (DSEE HX™) upscales compressed digital music files, bringing them closer to the quality of High-Resolution Audio.
Truly wireless technology
With Bluetooth® wireless technology and an ergonomic fit for all-day comfort, the WF-1000XM3 noise-canceling headphones offer true wireless freedom.
Engineered for a secure, stable fit

Ergonomic Tri-hold structure
The noise-canceling earbuds are ergonomically designed to make contact with three different points on your ear for a secure, comfortable fit.

High-friction rubber surface
A high-friction rubber surface keeps the noise-canceling earbuds snug and secure in your ear, so they won't slip out unexpectedly.
All-day battery life
With the WF-1000XM3 noise-canceling headphones, the music just keeps on playing.

Up to 24 hours of listening
On a full charge, the headphones offer 6 hours of power, and the handy charging case provides a further three charges to keep you going throughout the day. That's up to 24 hours of noise-free listening. With noise canceling off, it's even longer — 8 hours of power on a full charge, with a further three charges from the charging case, for up to 32 hours of play time.

Quick charging when you need it
Sometimes you need music, fast. So if your headphones are running low on power, a 10-minute quick charge in the charging case gives you up to 90 minutes of play time.
Smarter listening
Powered by innovative SENSE ENGINE™ technology, WF-1000XM3 noise-canceling headphones enhance your listening experience with a range of smart features.
Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to whatever you do
The Sony | Headphones Connect app offers Adaptive Sound Control, a smart function that automatically detects what you're up to—such as traveling, walking, or waiting—then adjusts ambient sound settings to suit the situation. You can also customize the settings to your preferences.

Traveling
Take trips without interruption and lose yourself in music with no background noise.

Walking
Be aware of everything around you, from street to office, while still enjoying music.

Waiting
Hear important announcements while you wait, while reducing other background noise.
Headphones that react to you
A proximity sensor in each earbud can detect whether you're wearing one or both, and adapts playback accordingly.

Pause the music
Take out one earbud and the music automatically pauses on both sides.

Resume playing
Put the earbud back in and the music automatically resumes playing.

Control at your fingertips
WF-1000XM3 headphones feature intuitive touch control settings — for example, tap on the left earbud to change from Noise Canceling to Ambient Sound, or double tap on the right to skip to the next track.

Customizable touch controls
If you want to customize your touch controls, no problem. The Sony | Headphones Connect app lets you assign alternative options, such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and music volume control, to each earbud.
Modern classic style
From the headphones with their clean, minimalist look, to the charging case with its tactile, high-end finish, it's all about elegant, understated style.
So immersive. So real.
Immerse yourself in sound all around you. As real as if you are there at a live concert or with the artist recording in a studio. With 360 Reality Audio, music has never been so immersive and so real.
These headphones let you enjoy 360 Reality Audio.
