Is it normal to hear bus engine and people talking even with 0 ambient noise set?

Am on v4.2.2 seems to have high hopes on this pair of headphones but now I am disappointed

Ye is normal especially after you updated the firmware (tl;Dr they tweaked the ANC). The only way to cancel everything is to remove your eardrums.

That said, try using the optimiser function in the app, adjust how you wear the headphones till the seal is nice (if you wearing specs the seal isn't perfect). The outside is also less obvious if you are playing music.

Want t ask for opinion. Is $364 consider reasonable price with 1 year Sony SG warranty? Or should i wait for 12.12 sales?

I tried and its good! A gadget that costs $349 might sound like it's too expensive, but it's not. A really good set of active noise canceling headphones is worth its weight in gold, and the Sony WH-1000XM3 is among the best out there.

Yeah.. those sub $400 all ship from HK/CN and no local warranty... I suspect are non-authentic

Checked ConnectIT with shop and cart coupon can get lowest $444 which is more expensive. how u get so much cart coupon?

Yes, can share which seller? I don’t want to buy those that are drop shipped from HK and non SG Sony warranty.

Those are “export” sets right? Got to return to seller and not warranty by local Sony. If can register on Sony then you must have had a really good deal

Already got mine at $299 with warranty registered. Nothing to suspect:s13::s13: there were others that posted the same thing too a few days back:s13::s13:

This is the cheapest XM3 I can find for our local warranty set. Got it during 12/12 lazada sale. Cost $262.
