Sony is covering all its bases with truly wireless earbuds, super high-end with the WF-1000XM3, and extreme value with the WF-XB700. There are a couple of drawbacks, though.

luxury cars do the same thing
ha ha ha aaaahh I enjoyed that
Very true
Frankenstein is still relevant after 400 years
It's like IKEA but worse
I swear Sony sales would double if they just had normal names.
Probably not. I see headphones at my local store and don't check the name I just look at the ones that match my price.
Also if they didn't make giant earbuds that make you look like Shrek
Ye.. The problem is the price really, like their "budget" option is a 130 bucks?? Really? That's already like a lot of money for most users...
Hey, they got you talking about it though.
their sales are already rlly high :)
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
James: "You could fall off your skateboard"
Not only could but I excel at it
Yeah... Tried it with the more expensive one and also with the over ears from sony... They all hold up pretty well in a 20mph crash :D

I agree. But I've gone through 3 cheap $30-$40 wireless buds from Amazon because they've failed in some way or another. Starting to consider just biting the bullet and spending the $100 on nice ones
@@Superkirbeh Have you tried Earfun Free? Been using them for 4 months and they didn't fail yet
I made a mistake of buying into the fake airpods. Figured after a couple years they would be as good as everyone said. Nope. Fuckers dont even stay connected. Constantly drops to one ear or jumps back and forth. Pieces of shit. Never again. My next pair will be Sonys. Im just waitin for their ass to drop the 4th edition.

I bought these after watching this review and I've never quite heard anything like these. The bass is next level and the sound quality is awesome. I highly recommend if you don't care for noise cancellation.
I bought mine just today and I thought noise cancellation on these are not necessary. The sound is so out of this world. The bass is tough. After few hours of playing them my ears 👂 are almost like destroyed. I advise don’t use them everyday and decrease the volume
@@dicksonsickey3586 I know noise cancellation is not required and yeah full volume is too OP.
So many good reviews, can't wait trying them. Just placed the order.
@@zikamikakokoku It's a whole new experience mate, you're gonna love it.

You gotta love that "I have a cockroach in my ear"-design.
I was laughing at the airpods when they first came out but these ones look horrible in the ears
Sony and Sennheiser wireless earbuds make you look like Shrek
@@ov1lord Yeah seriously, I can't imagine myself wearing these EVER.
Its better then, I got some semen dripping out my ear, pencil style.
@@tedubadu2536 I'm not sure why the style or size bothers people. Until they make them fit 100 percent inside your head and ear canal with nothing showing. It's always gonna look like something in your ear that's not natural. I also have one inch gauges lobes so maybe I'm not someone who cares what other think, and I'm more interested in my pleasure.
These kick the shit out of all other wireless earbuds. The bass is real. I've had Sennheiser's, Jabra's, etc and they can't even compare. Yeah, there's no eq, but you don't need it, these always sound good. Sony always make 🔥🔥🔥 headphones and earbuds.
These look nice. Love watching James review stuff. Can't wait to get in my pair of Panda's I ordered thanks to LTT.
Great review James! I'm impressed you discussed all the practical points of headphone usage without using technical/subjective jargon that doesn't make sense to most people.
This was not only one of the most useful product reviews I've ever seen but you were also funny AF. Kudos!
Dammit James, now I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head. I only recognize it from the radio at my work but now I'll pay more attention to it whenever it's on.
Got a pair today, super isolating and tight fit. My AirPods never fit quite right so I wouldn’t take them to the gym, but these are perfect for working out 👍 Great vid
James! Lake Street Dive does an awesome cover of Walking on Broken Glass.
Dude thank you so much! The instructions that came with them were horrendous ha. I now know the tapping rules 😂
Best review ,Best comparison I just watched about 10 videos for this product I liked your video great work
James going to review Audeze stuff? I would love to see more enthusiastic level gear, like stuff from Fostex and also IEMs, like Tin Audio or Moondrop and such
I bought these and they are amazing. Long battery life and great bass.
You don't have issues with the earbuds?
Looks like the black ones are only 100 on amazon.

Do you still recommend it ? xD
Does it still work hella good?
I have these they are great
Same. Saw them at Walmart. Had them for 2 weeks now. So far pretty good and good battery life. Cant complain so far

I bought these a couple years ago or so and I love them. Great for when I’m out of the house. The charge still holds great.
These are on sale at Target for $65 right now! Definitely gonna pick them up
I always knew Sony made great speakers and earbuds, but this is pretty high praise. 👍
5:54 "Just the tip though"

For the full review I'd love a comparison to the standard Galaxy Buds, you can get them for around 120 dollars currently as well
I love the extra bass line for the gym!! I believe due to humidity, they don't last for more than a few years, but the cost is low enough that I don't mind replacing them as needed.
how do they work for calls? can the other person hear you and you hear them?
The title :OMG THOSE THINGS ARE EXTREME THE BEST THING EVER
The video: yeah pretty decent sound and battery
hello guys,which has a larger/big bass, the power beats 3 or this Sony WF XB700?
Have had the XM3's now for half a year and they are by far the best I've ever had. The sound is great, the connection is always quick a strong and the touch sensitive sides are very easy. For me the use case for wireless earbuds is that I tend to wear them around the house or doing DYI and I only want to wear one because I want to be aware of what is happening around me (or if the wife is talking to me...) Big recommendation for the XM3!
They were the only wireless ones I had and I was fairly disappointed. I wouldn't recommend them. Sound dull and lack, well, clarity I guess. Something more complex like rock music is just awful on them. You can easily get some good in ears for half the price that sound as good and possible better, with better controls, only downside is the obvious cable.
@@potatoeskimos Maybe not dull, but cutoff at the low and high frequency. Compared to what I have at home and now for on the go they were just lacking a bit, unfortunately. With some genres like rock it was even worse. I don't think they were defective, I was just used to better sound from heaphones already. They are good for TWS buds, just not the revelation they were told to be
I have the XM3 and the bluetooth 5 has been great. I work in a lab so I often have to move around and even when my phone is 40 feet away I still get clear sound
Somehow I get the feeling a little intro is missing here ...
Its a bit unusual without one xD
Sony do two apps. "Headphones" and "Music Center" which allow you to change the settings on numerous Sony audio products.
I can't connect to those apps for some reason.
They don't support wf-xb700s
They figured out how make them stay fit with the 3 point tech.First day with them at the gym pretty sweaty and they dont fall out.Great
Thank you to show where the volume is on these headset ,I was testing them today, just opened the box and could not understand where the volume was on the instructions so this video helped me a lot besides I love sony headsets, that's a new pair I got and first time using Wireless headset.
how has your experience been with the them over your usage period ?
This review helped me purchase these ear buds. Crisp sound with a solid solid bass. If bass is your thing then grab these, you won’t be disappointed. No sensor buttons so you can’t accidentally skip/pause etc. best earphones for music. Have yet to use it for phone calls
how do they work for calls? can the other person hear you and you hear them?
@@heylol3806 they work fine for calls. I often train back and forth to work and never had trouble being heard or hearing the other caller. Primarily good for music tho I would say
Just to clarify,
the Sony WF-1000XM3 (the premium ones) has 6 hours of battery life with the noise canceling on. If it's off, it's 8 hours per charge, and 32 total.
Why does everybody forget to mention, that the WF-1000XM3s last 8h without ANC, the 6 hour spec is WITH ANC enabled. I rock them all day long, great IEMs for VR too!
i must say i like shortcircuit! feels like good old LTT
4:27 This case is just gonna easily slip into a bag * slips *
I love Sony's wireless offerings. This one seems like a winner too.
I hate them. WF1000XM3 were very disappointing for me. Not worth the praise.
question ... did they release a revamped version of those? I bought one 1 week ago and the manual indicates that they are 5.0 not 4.2.
I ordered the Sennheiser's True Wireless Momentum and got a defective unit (twice). Had it returned and decided to go with XB700. It's actually a good pair of earbuds.
title: "only $128"
me: well i think i live too cheap for you to notice the cheapness in the price
I don't think you copied my comment I agree though
I didn't watch the video yet but probably they meant relative to the quality of the product i think.
@@huntno lol i didn't saw your comment
Then look at soundliberty53 they should be cheap for you
@@Ayoub-pt4nm Yeah makes sense a lot of other people had the same opinion

Oh James.🤣🤣
Got a pair of WF-1000XM3s for $130 in March open box, pretty happy with them, though a longer battery life would be great. These seem nice but I'd take what I have even if they were lightly used.
Just purchased these today for £70 and I love them.. if you're into techno or hip hop these are worth their weight in gold.. wasn't too sure about the design at 1st but they do sit very well in your ear once you figure out the twisting method.. bass is on point so very very happy
You don't have issues with the earbuds?
@@itzikalma9959 no issues at all mate.. why do you
Thank God I snuck a peek at my Xmas present thanks dad 😊
2:19 who else thought the non wood part of the table is the floor and the items on it are floating?
I want ones with a lot off bass is it worth getting these instead of the others
Got these for $96 and I'm very excited to test them out and hopefully they'll work well with my old ass iPhone 8+ that served me well so far.
Thanks for the review, it really helped me be at ease, that I made a good decision. :)
The biggest problem of this for me is that there's a main earbud and you cannot use the other one independently.
These are at 60$ on my local tech shop might give it a go, thanks fo rthe review !
Hope you did, I got mine for $65 and they are absolutely phenomenal. The bass is incredible and the sound is beautiful. Really a great unit to have when commuting across town
Are these the Wireless version of the MDR-XB50's? Cuase I got a pair of them and I love them but I want to upgrade to wireless earbuds
How is the latency/lag when watching UA-cam videos?
James: These are designed for the gym. They are great if you want to wear them at the gym.
We don't have those any more. 2020 made them all go away.

what about the sony spoons??? i was expecting you guys to review that by now
"AND THEYRE A HUNNID BROLLARS CHEAPER. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?!" *hits a line of Expo marker*
do a video on the jbl live 300's
Just got mine two days ago and I couldn't hear the vacuum cleaner when these were playing music! Couldn't hear the music in my car either although it was blaring (realised it was that loud only when I felt the vibrations in my seat..LOL) Loving the sound. I don't have to play these at full volume to enjoy the music and I can have these on for 5-6hrs and not suffer from ear discomfort or irritation from listening to crappy sound. And when I turn on Dolby Atmos on my devices, these are bomb!
how do they work for calls? can the other person hear you and you hear them?
@@heylol3806 Definitely not good for calls! You'll want to pull them out of your ears! I have Samsung Buds Live that are excellent for calls. But I still love my Sony for it's sound quality.
Just ordered them I hope they are amazing!
How are they? Worth it?
4:29 james is learning from papa linus
Weirdly enough, I think I would prefer headphones without an app. I feel that the headphones should be barebones and straight forward. The EQ should be perfected by the manufacturers the way they always used to be.
I'm curious what you'd think of Aftershokz headphones
Are these any good for using for calls while driving to? ( would only use one though while driving )
"Walking on Broken Glass" was 1992 fyi.
Yeah, I grew up in the 80s and was thinking what he said didn't sound right. Of course, the 80s happened quite a while ago. So I couldn't be sure, lol.
You really can’t hear anything with these. I love them
Perfect for my bike rides. I want these
I ordered it today! So excited with my sony, thanks for this review!!!
how do they work for calls? can the other person hear you and you hear them?
what do you mean new to audio? hearing sounds for the first time? XD
Probably means you're not used to hi-fi speakers. Anyone that goes from 15$ desk speakers to 6000$ amp set up is going to notice the difference, even if it's still just sound.
New to *good audio
They are great for people just now getting cochlear implants.
Can you do a galaxy buds plus comparison with these?
The buds+ are incredible and do compete with these pretty closely as they also don't have active noise cancelling, but their battery life is higher and the profile is much smaller. The buds+ also have pretty crappy ambient passthrough with regards to voices, which they only just solved using a beta update which makes all other ambient sounds turn into jet engines (edit: this is no longer the case with more recent updates, the active passthrough is barely noticeable compared to having no earbuds). There's also very little user customisation regarding EQ and button presses, despite these being easy to implement, and that drags them down a lot compared to alternatives.
From LTT's perspective, their sound quality goes down a lot if you don't use them with a Samsung phone which can use their proprietary bluetooth audio codec so I understand why they haven't really bothered to review them as they're more of a companion to a Samsung phone rather than a standalone pair of earbuds.
@@hw985a but why they compare them one plus buds bro
@@swapnilanand2557 OnePlus buds have universal usage, i.e. no proprietary codec like the Galaxy Buds+.
Welp I already bought the WF-1000XM3...
I use it for gym, the best thing is the WF-1000XM3's noise canceling can cancel out almost all the noises around you (Gym equipment noise, treadmill, ambient music they play...it is just amazing). Plus it stayed in just fine with default medium tips (Planning to switch to foam or smaller size)
AaronShenghao they’re the best! Got me a pair 3 weeks ago! My only issue is they fell out of my ear while jogging! And that was with the biggest ear tips. I ended up buying true grip foam comply ear tips on amazon for $20 and it seemed to fix the problem!
Thank you James for sending me down an Annie Lennox rabbit hole. What an amazing artist!
When Linus is in charge of hair and makeup
haha nice one ;)
Another great review. Thank you. Just saw the Bose review. Interesting that Sony can put in 'fast forward/rewind/play again/etc. and Bose DID not. Yet charge A LOT more. So interesting what companies do and think they can get away with. Thank you again.
I bought the new Bose quit buds that week they were released! I ended up returning them. Couldn’t stand how little controls there were! And no app? Lol
I just bought these. Amazon had them on sale for $99 a few days ago. They're arriving tomorrow. I'm so excited! 😁
Why the Galaxy buds + are so much better, do you wanna look like 2:42 this
@@flupsie969 I've been a Sony fanboy since I was a kid. I grew up with PlayStation and Spider-Man. I'm not saying Sony is the absolute best, but there's no denying that they do make quality products. These met all my needs at $99. I didn't want to spend an extra $50 for a 2 hour battery life increase. If I considered the Galaxy Buds + at $150 then I might as well spend the extra $50 and get the superior Sony WF-1000XM3.
Fast2Furious4 exactly Sony just doesn’t disappoint
@@Ronin-kk4bt $100 for earbuds with a 9 hour battery life. Can't beat that.
Listening to this review through a pair. I love mine. Fair assessment here on this video.
Lmao I bought these today for the gym and decided to watch a review to see how they are... Kinda spooked me when you brought it up 😂😂😂
3:33 focus struggling at his hair
How hard could it be for these things to come with a find my buds feature
Honestly my favs are still the WH-XB-MDR-100900100XM3NAAP's
This earbud is so so so so good. I bought mine today and slip them in my ears and the sound is insane. I went out for a walk and couldn’t even hear cars as they pass me by. It is dangerous to walk out with These especially when you have maximum volume. After few hours of playing my ears feels like it doesn’t exist. I am scare that using these earbuds continuously could destroy your hearing ability. The BASS is too much. Way that I actually expected. The overall sound quality is so SONY !
Go buy them..Just go buy them
THANK YOU
On every earbud if you only listen to music on MAX VOLUME, they can destroy your hearing lmao. Not only on these earbuds, but all.
@@idontknowufanboy thanks captain obvious …..
You don't have issues with the earbuds?
Someone needs to fire whoever names Sony's earbuds
Well i try to find them and misspelled they're name and I think it has some system.
The tip's the most important part!
just bought the xb 700 def worth it, bought it for the gym, gonna try it out this monday, but I know they will be good I ran up stairs with these on and they stay in perfect. I tested these headphones with my streaming mic headphones Logitech G pro. I have to say the bass on the sony def sounds good, they both are going head to head really since logitech has a Ghub where I can play with setting while these sony dont like mentioned in the video. But even if it doesnt it rly does have good base... Logitech for indoors, and streaming. My Sony for going out and working out in the gym :)

"They are not huge!" AHAHAH good joke!
I know this is ShortCircuit but I have suggestion for benchmarking or reviewing sound systems for Linus Tech Tips. It would be including in the review a Bode plot or a frequency response since LTT is usually a data-driven review channel and it would give at least a baseline for snappy or just fine comments on the lows or highs. Just a suggestion :D
