The Sony WF-1000XM3 is one of the few great true wireless headphones in the industry, and it is now making its way in the Philippines.
Unlike the AirPods, the Sony WF-1000XM3 sports an in-ear design, with a powerful 6mm driver crammed in its small body. The form factor is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Buds.
The in-ear design also helps the device provide good noise cancellation. Sony even rigged it with a dedicated HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e and dual microphones.
You can access its Ambient Sound Control, plus other related settings, via the Sony Headphones Connect app.
To further improve the quality from your music source, the Sony WF-1000XM3 has a Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX, which upscales compressed music files for improved audio quality.
As for connectivity, the headphones come with Bluetooth 5.0, with NFC (on the case) for easy connectivity. It also has touch controls on each earbud, which allows you to turn on/off the noise cancellation, ambient sound, or skip tracks.
Probably the great thing about the WF-1000XM3 is its battery. Together with the charging case, it can provide up to 24hrs of charge, with up to 8hrs of continuous playback on each earbud. The case then charges via a USB Type-C port.
The Sony WF-1000XM3 is priced in the Philippines for Php12,999. You can pre-order it at select Sony stores and authorized dealers starting July 6, 2019.
