everyone's going gaga about the new Sony
WF-1000XM3 earbuds but this
real conversation will give you ten
reasons why you should not buy these
earbuds. now to be clear we like these
earbuds a lot and we've done a full
review on them so check that out before
you drop some hate in the comments below
you know in the airpods came out there
were so many jokes about it being so
expensive, yeah and these are more
expensive than the 'expensivest' airpods
available right now. of course Sony
prices tend to move a lot so depending
on when you watch this video this may
not be true. yeah, for the latest prices
check out the links in the description
below, if you use those links it won't
cost you anything extra but it'll help
out the channel a little bit. though the
prices might change one thing Sony
cannot change is the size of these
earbuds and the case. compared to other
wireless earbuds
these are the bulkiest we've seen, sure
they're a little bit harder to pocket
but hey they're much better to hurt
people with by throwing the ear buds at
them. we think the bigness
in price and size comes due to the fact
that Sony wanted to pack in all of that
active noise-cancelling tech. it works
pretty well though, one big butt though
do you really need active
noise-cancelling on earbuds? I mean it
might be useful for, you know, letting in
ambient sound or listening to music
critically, but given that these are in
ear you already have a nice passive
seal which blocks all the sounds around
you. so about that seal, Sony provides a
lot of tips but I felt like none of them
really fit my ears properly and I felt
like I was always in-between sizes. yes
they should have included, you know, those
high quality foam Comply tips like Bang
and Olufsen's, especially at this
price. now that's a tip for Sony. yeah
and without a good fit and a good tip
the noise canceling as well as the sound
quality is compromised, and you know even
if the tips are fine and they fit well
the in ear form factor I don't think
it's for everyone, I personally prefer
over ears for longer listening sessions
and even the airpods which I know a lot
of people hate still are a bit more
comfortable than the Sony's for me
personally but that applies to all in
ears so your mileage may vary. and it's
not necessarily a criticism of the WF1000XM3. Comfort aside for about $50
less we'd have taken a smaller case and
better bluetooth codecs. yeah I mean I
find it surprising that Sony chose AAC
which is, you know, which works better
with iPhones than it does on Android.
they skipped APTX and LDAC, their own
proprietary codec, seems like a strange
choice to me considering a lot of
Android users will buy these earbuds. and
what's with the naming convention Sony?
you continue to have password like names
for all of your devices even the over
ears. a big step up from the over ears
is that you no longer have to disconnect
from the first device to connect to the
second but it still can't stay connected
to two devices like you can on the Bang
& Olufsen or the Sennheiser or the Bose,
what's going on Sony, when are you gonna
fix this? another thing that was
inconsistent on Android devices was NFC
pairing, the first time I paired it it
worked without a hitch but after that it
just wouldn't pair
despite forgetting the earbuds on the
phone. the only solution was to long
press both earbuds and initiate pairing
mode. and last but not least let's talk
phone calls, now phone calls are very
reasonable, not bad at all but they are a
bit unpredictable and inconsistent, they
go up and down and sometimes if the
voice quality on the other side isn't
very great due to the high treble nature
of these earbuds the voices become a
bit grating so that can be quite
annoying.
