As you already pointed out, once you open them from BestBuy you can’t return them. You’re already waiting for people on here to give you enough information in doing research to make a decision before opening the cans. Why not return them and wait a little bit longer to get them from Amazon? That...

Given your criteria I would return these to BestBuy and then re-buy them from Amazon so you can return them after actually trying them. They will keep your ears warm, but if you get into sub-zero temperature land you may start experiencing the random Siri/Google Assistant invocations which I...

I wonder if maybe Sony sources certain components from different vendors, such that some units are fine and others are not.

A small side note here; it was mentioned a while back that the XM3’s remember the EQ settings when switching devices. When switching between my iPhone and iPad, this is true. However, as soon as I connect to my Mac it nukes the setting. Listening on the Mac just uses the stock EQ. When I...

Good question, I’ll try if it happens again. Listened to music on the train for 45 minutes with no issues after my above comments. Stepped out into the cold and 5 minutes later the song I was half way through listening to started over again. Part of me thinks it’s actually me causing this...

I stand corrected. I was walking home from work and the wind was quite strong with a temperature of -6° C. While listening to my podcast I suddenly heard the Siri "do-do" activation prompt as if I had activated the voice assistant, which I did not. After a moment my podcast resumed playing...

Same here. Haven’t used them extensively but walking outside for 30 minutes today with strong wind and light snow (bordering on hail) and didn’t have any issues. Though now I worry about snow making its way into the microphone ports that face upwards.

@ryanmatic are you still using this EQ? I just picked up the XM3’s and am gonna give them a shot. I’m in the iPhone camp so will be using AAC and am playing around with the EQ . I just listened to School by Supertramp with your EQ settings above. I closed my eyes, ANC on, and it was really...

I gave the M2’s a trial run and experienced this, so I don’t think it’s a regression in behavior. Even walking with them outside would cause slight variations when my feet hit the ground with each step. While listening to podcasts, whoever was talking would get ever so slightly louder and softer...

Seems like it doesn’t according to this review, which lists the only con as “Can’t connect to more than one device at a time” https://www.digitaltrends.com/headphone-reviews/sony-wh-1000xm3-review/

This is hilarious ^_^ But is the bass really that bad out of the box? I read and watched a number of reviews and formed an initial impression that these are *the* ANC cans to get. But then I came over here to get the real scoop and everyone is crapping all over the XM3’s when listened to with...

I wonder how M&D is trying to position these headphones amongst their lineup. For example, why would I buy the MW60 as over-ear cans if I can get the MW50+? Or another thought exercise would be: if they release an MW60+ with over and on-ear pads, upgraded to USB-C, with beryllium drivers, why...

Yeah ANC on the PX made them sound pretty terrible. How do you find the different ear pads on the MW50+’s? Do the on-ears sound better/worse/same compared to the over-ears? Are there any current reviews that you felt accurately represent your experience?

Well that’s great to hear! I ordered a pair from masterdynamic.com last week but haven’t received a tracking number of any sort. I’ve also tried the Beoplay H9i - for me the highs were just too much. And ANC didn’t work when walking (it would magnify every step with a boomy noise). The B&W PX...

Hey simonm, I know doing reviews takes a lot of time. I’m strongly considering the MW60’s and was curious if you were going to post your review. Or if perhaps you had some additional comments since Feb. I don’t understand why threads like the B&W PX have hundreds of posts but the MW60 has just...
