That bad eh? All those Youtube reviews all say differently. Paid reviews?
I specifically note the SQ part of those video and written reviews. Overwhelmingly they say it's better. But dunno lah, wait till I get mine then see how.Most of these reviews focus on the tech and ANC quality.
I dont claim to have golden ears but there are music that we are familiar with and always play them. I playback those same songs on the XM3 and immediately noted the difference in the SQ. XM2 may lose some clarity and spatial awareness in the process but in terms of overall musicality, balance and presentation, it fares better as these does not come across as light-weighted or fluffy. This may have to do with the DAC and amplifier for the overly smoothness and tameness on the XM3.

But I read the NC not as good, never really consider.Have you tried Sennheier’s PXC550? I was doing a comparison test at ConnectIT previously. Pxc550 was a ‘forgotten’ model. Quite like the fit too
You can drop by Stereo and have a listen for yourself. I spent abt 60 to 90 mins in the shop playing back every HiRes songs on my P2 to gauge the SQ and come back feel short-changed. It made me felt and thought that I was going back to the Bose QC35.2 after the session.
60 to 90 mins???... Wah the staff there bei sian?
Tried the new Sony 1000XM3. Really so much better than Bose QC35. Really beat it in terms of sound quality, noise cancelling and comfort.
Wow sianz. Looks like wait for Stereo's better offer with their $50 off coupon. So far as a member I have yet to receive any Stereo's coupon.
How to get the coupon ah =/
I emailed them last week as I missed the coupon (too many emails....) and the person replying the email hint another round may be coming soon. Wonder if can use the coupon on 2 different purchases....
Tried to get one but it's completely sold out in SIN and in HKG.
Managed to find one at Nakano, Japan over the weekend. It was featured at the Fujiya Falls Headphone festival but it was not a sales item. Managed to get it off the Fujiya shop at Nakano Plaza.
Clearly the M3 is better than the M2.
For sound, it is more detailed. Unwrapped in the afternoon, brand new in box, battery lasted all the way till late night without charging. Lighter, better battery capacity, headband profile is now oval instead of round, ear cup is bigger too, more comfortable than ever. The gesture panel on the earpiece exterior is now smooth instead of textured, better feel and gesture controllability.
I have the Bose QC35, the Sennheiser PXC550, the Sony 1000WX M2 and now clearly M3 is the best. No wonder I got problem getting one.

Dunno why got some say it's lousier compared to the v2. Make me question myself.Tried to get one but it's completely sold out in SIN and in HKG.

But the ear cups still not as good as Bose. Why they dun just copy hehe.
Maybe my ears too big Bose I can fit nicely, but XM3 still got wiggle around to stuff the ears in.Ya I don't get why ppl say XM2 sound quality better? XM3 clearly superior.
I also find it more comfortable than my Bose Qc35s.. Ear cup wise.
