I'd say Sony's cause I own them but haven't tried others. Helped a lot on the plane, drowning out engine noise and the some wailing of the baby on board.

Which one more worth

Posted from PCWX using Nokia 3310

1000XM3 is definitely worth it because if you list down the features, the Sony has the most. The app supports numerous customisation, EQ adjustment, 360 Reality Audio, etc.

But if you consider other factors like comfort, ANC quality, audio quality, then Sony might not be the best.

Personally I prefer to use Bose 700, it's more comfortable for me, the ANC is better, the ambient sound is better, the sound quality is better. But it's more expensive.

As I will wear it for long hours for WFH, I would much prefer Bose for comfort and call quality

So For the recent 9.9 event, I was waiting for Bose to have something attractive for either the Qc35 or 700 but neither did.

Quite a few sellers dropped the price on xm3 since xm4 is out. So I HFTL on xm3 for less than 300.

Call quality is ok. People can hear me via zoom. Skype and gaming. But it's nowhere near 700 thou.

Music quality thou. AWESOME!

Still good buy

Re

There are many comparison reviews on the net reagrding these 3

SONY WH1000XM3 is undisputably the King!

It'll take another new King, the SONY WH1000XM4, to dethrone the old

:D

I feel Many people call it's the KING cuz it really check many boxes. But still, If Bose had promo. I would have gone for Bose

For those of you who are more bass-y, imo sony xm3 is so-so only

So if I were to compare the headphones solely based on ANC quality, is xm3 the best - drown out most noise?

I owned the Sony Xm3 ,

And did a sound quality test at Best Buy, back to back between Sony Xm3 and Bose qc35ii and 700 and one Sennheiser equivalent.

Sony is an all rounder, you can't fault it but not exactly outstanding in sound quality, personally I still prefer the Bose tuning.

For the Sony XM3, used it last December for long haul (26 hours) flight, under the noisy environment, its ANC did the job well.
