Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones
just need a bit of help as i am considering these headphones:Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones | WH-1000XM3 | Sony UK

just to point out these will be exclusively used to watch television in the house.

I don't have an up to date phone (i don't like phones) so i was wondering if anyone
has used these out the box with good results without the app to change "audio" settings ?

I will be using these wired (no audio lag for me thanks) can anyone confirm the noise reduction works whilst they are wired?

PS: i already have some Lindy noise cancelation phones (noise cancelation is important for my concentration) and they are decent but i've heard good things about the sony's and i dont require the newer version which you can control the world with hand gestures etc :rolleyes:

thanks.

i can get them for £199 but i can last until
26th November (black Friday) as they may drop again

I've got a pair of these headphones and really rate them, much better than my MDR-7506 that they replaced.

the 100xm3 or 4 ?

i dont need all the fancy touch stuff on the newer model.

you should get the xm4 for that cost, assuming you really need NC

yes NC is top priority for concentration.
the updated 4 model just adds touch stuff on the cans and doesn't improve sound etc. on previous model ?

how much do you need the noise cancelling?
£200 can get some nice wired headphones which arguably will sound better than the XM3s

i'm buying them mainly for noise cancelling reasons.

Go have a listen in RS or similar. Headphones appear to be rather a "personal" thing. I've listened to the XM3s and didn't like them at all.

was there anything in particular sound wise that put you off them? i.e.- to much base, treble etc. ?

just an update.
thanks for all the replies.
I've had and used the headphones all week
and i am very happy with them.
I only use them for tv and they are great and the noise cancelling is soooooo good.
I don't seem to be having any muddy bass issues.
I was watching the snooker and could hear the ref scoring on the other tables
