Which cable did you buy? I see a few choices on their page.
SONY WH1000XM3 - better than QC35 in noise cancelling?

one of the Hybrid Series HPC.
Really well made, high quality. I also bought a Copper Series cable for my sennheiser momentum with a fabric cover. Sadly it does not see much use anymore

I actually bought this cable for the philips fidelio I had. I've send them back to amazon tho and since then the cable was unused.
So I chose philips fidelio x1.

The producer is also reeeeally nice. You can send him an email and he will help you figure stuff out

it is
Philips Fidelio X2 used 3.5mm and sony M3 uses it too that's why I use it.I found the problem. "sound check" in the ios settings for the music app was turned on. for whatever reason it made the songs distorted. I can't remember turning it on....

Wondering what anyone can tell me about the SQ differences between Sony WH1000XM3 (wireless and wired) and Sennheiser HD650/HD6xx. I would be using galaxy s7 (current) and possibly s10 in the future (LDAC or high quality bluetooth and wired) streaming from spotify mostly and occasionally tidal. Are the Sony's (wireless/wired) close to the SQ of the Sennheiser? I know listening environment must be taken into consideration but lets say in perfect quiet and in a moderately noisy area such as a suburban neighborhood with moderate traffic.

Some Sony headphones (including the XM3) have a narrow opening around the headphone jack that prevents many standard audio cables from being inserted completely. Look at how the original cable plugs in, compared with your other cable. You need to use a cable that has a narrow casing around the plug, or you can trim the plastic around the plug of your other cable.

These are a perfect fit.
Still enjoying the X3'S but these are sounding better overall.

Maybe this isn't related to exactly XM3s but I have a oneplus 6T and my sound stutters for a second or so every so often with my xm3s on wireless. Some friends who have Iphone devices say they almost never encounter this issue. Is there something I can do to get a better connection or how come this is happening? I have priority on sound quality and I would really like to keep it that way if possible...
Also something I noticed, when it's around 0 degrees outside the touch controls just stops working and they queue up what I "touch" so when the headphones are warm again (for example subway) the headphones does all the touch controls at the same time.
Is it possible to disable all the touch controls?

Unfortunately, there's no way to disable touch controls. I accidentally ran an experiment a couple days ago, where I had my XM3s in their case in my backpack, next to a coldpak lunchbag, during the whole day at work. When I grabbed my headphones, they definitely felt cold (I would guess around 50F) but they worked fine. I have run into issues where I'm walking during cold winds, and siri being activated automatically

I can't directly compare the Sony's to the Sennheiser models you mentioned because I have the 1000xm2's and the Sennheiser 598's but I can tell you that there are significant difference between the two even though they both sound excellent. The Sennheiser'' have a much more open sound to them and let a lot of external noise in and leak a lot of your music out. The Sony's are more closed, have a slightly more' boxy' sound. It's fair to say that the Sony's also have more bass impact but not quite the same amount of detail.
I hope this helps.

The short answer is no. If you're looking for HD650/HD6XX sound from a wireless headphone, the XM3 isn't it. First of all, there is the inherent difference in sound between open and closed headphones. These headphones also have different frequency response. The HD650/HD6XX has a natural rolled off bass and the XM3 has a heavily boosted bass.

Those two answers make perfect sense and I got similar on another forum. Thank you both for your answers I appreciate it! Happy Winter Season!
