    SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

    Hi, I bit further back in this thread I talked about popping/clicking. There are various people having this issue on reddit too. I bought a pair of Xm3s a few weeks ago and the left cup was popping. It seemed to not happen for an hour or so and then start happening for a few hours. It would pop...

    SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

    I am sitting here playing two pairs of Xm3s simultaneously as I'm taking one back and just want to run them in a bit. Also testing battery life. They sound identical to each other, and I wouldn't call it muffled at all. I' mostly used to my Senheisser HD 25's though so maybe if you are used to...

    SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

    Yeah I dont think its a defect as both of mine and yours do it. I understand that a mic on the headphones far away from your mouth will never be great. But it does seem particularly bad quality. Not a deal breaker for me either. I am finding them a little uncomfortable after an hour or two, but...

    SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

    So I just tested the mic on both my Sony Xm3's, and they sound identical, but not good! Very muffled and rough. Is this similar to yours? Link below https://vocaroo.com/i/s1NaTOKXXblG It can't be a fault if its on both and identical. I think as most people have said its just a really bad mic...

    SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

    Thanks I check two voice recording apps I use regularly and they have no option to choose. I'll download your one. Hopefully no echo issues here either Also if anyone from the UK is looking to buy, John Lewis just got them back in stock and you get a 2 year warranty which is better than...

    Are yo on an android phone? How did you test the mic, as I cant seem to choose what mic I'm using in Skype or any recording app. So Im unsure whether its using my phones mic or the mic on the headphones. Any advice?

    SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

    I just got home with two new pairs of WH1000xm3's from John Lewis! I bought some weeks ago and had and issue with popping in the left ear. I leave the country on Tuesday for 6 months so as soon as they came back in stock I bought two in case one had an issue. I'll take the there back on the way...

    SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

    I I didn't know it was called that. I've read many people complaining about it. It seems like a defect as others say they down have it, and the ones in the shop I tried didn't. You would think for their top end ANC headphones they wouldn't have these kinds fo quality issues. Its not exactly a...

    SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

    Hi I bought a pair recently and had a popping noise in the left ear whenever I moved or touched the ear cup. It wasn't loud, but I'd describe it as a popping/clicking, not like thunder. It has been reported by variou others on reddit. It seems that the first batch of these headphones has...

    SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

    Hi, I didn't ever have adaptive noise cancelling on. I made sure the firmware was updated, reset the headphones, charged them fully, still the same issue. When you say thump, is it like a little pop, kind of muffled low mid frequency pop? Almost like east popping Guess but quite subtle and...

    SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

    Thanks, well there is obviously something wrong with mine if other peoples don't pop. It is definitely nothing to do with my ear touching anything, or anything 'physical' like that. It is only when the ANC is on, and it happens with movement or some reddit users have mentioned a change in...

    SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

    I've been waiting for these to be in stock for weeks and bought them today as soon as they were. I picked them up today and fell in love with them, but then noticed a clicking/popping sound in the left ear when ANC is on. It's when I move my head around or walk, or press on the left cup. Its...

    Best closed back headphones for under £50?

    Dont worry about it, its not your fault! I was actually quite happy with them, and to be fair I did snag them on something, but it was really nothing much at all. Its a shame it happened, now I have to spend nearly twice as much on the Y50's!! My girlfriend travels a lot and I imagine they will...

    Best closed back headphones for under £50?

    Well something has happened to my MF100's already! I was listening and the cable got snagged slightly as I walked past something, really not very hard...I do it all the time with my HD25s! And now the sound is just not right.... Hard to explain, it sounds slightly distorted, quiet but mainly...
