Superb sound quality
Sony WH-1000XM3 On-Ear Wireless Headphones - Black
Reviewed by KN on Argos
Bought and used recently on long haul flight (12hr flight). Noise cancelling superb and one of the best I’ve experienced. Pad is comfortable to wear and head band pressure wasn’t a problem. Most enjoyable was the ability to adjust the sound setting via an app on the phone, which is not available on the Bose range. I would highly recommend this product. The one star reduction was more about the high price for this product. But no regrets after hearing sound.
Brilliant noise cancellation

Bought these based on an excellent review elsewhere. Loving the quality of the noise cancelling and audio quality. Not so keen on the "required" use of a smartphone app to handle the pairing in configuration but it's possible to pair with other devices (documentation for this isn't included in the box). Touch controls are quite handy, though "next track" doesn't work for me all the time. The headphones are quite bulky in use, and the headband is a LOT bigger than I expected.
Simply the best noise cancelling headphones!

Having previously owned both the Bose QC35’s and AirPod Pros these are leaps and bounds away from the Sony’s. The noise cancelling is the best on the market and you are able to adapt the ambient pressure for flights etc too. The Sony app which is free to download allows you to completely customise the equaliser too. They are super comfortable to wear and have a very premium feel. And to top it all off the battery lasts for 30 hours on a single charge. You will not better these.
Excellent sound quality and noise cancellation

I'm really happy with my purchase. I have not had a noise cancelling headphone before, and I'm used to quite a lot of background noise. This pair of headphones blocks out background noise very well, and also has a solid sound quality. I also like the app, which enables you to adjust the level of noise cancellation. Overall a really good buy! By the way, the headphones are over-ear (and not on-ear, as described above!)
Exceptional bluetooth headphones

Long battery, great design and superb sound quality that is detailed and packs heavy bass without being over bearing with the best noise cancellation i have ever used with headphones. I had the bose soundlink 2 wireless before these and the senheisser momentum 2 wireless and the sony's are vastly superior to them both almost making them sound dull in comparison and any other headphone i have used for that matter.

Lacks the Pump
Sony WH-1000XM3 On-Ear Wireless Headphones - Black
Reviewed by Sammy on Argos
Got this as it came highly recommended but was a bit disappointed because it lacked the lows and terrific pump you get out of beats. It’s a pricy headphone and should tick all the boxes but it unfortunately does not. The mids and highs come with great clarity, but poor lows and poor volume limit. Was also uncomfortable after a lengthy wear. Argos refused to take back as I have broken seal which was disappointing as I have barley l used product. Looking to resell at a loss.
Decent sound quality and good noise cancelling

Bob on and well worth the money. Highs, mids and lows present with good clarity and no bass flutter that I've noticed. The swipe features are a bit awkward at first but ok in general. Top notch noise cancelling. Cupping the right ear cup to allow ambient sound in is great when in a shop or for a quick chat on the street. Unless you need something really high end for work or whatever the casual user might not notice the difference to the next big step up. Basically, Beats=grim. These=tidy
Great sound & outstanding battery life

I bought these to replace my ageing Beoplay H6 headphones I've had since 2012, and I am not disappointed! The noise cancellation on these is phenomenal. I walk to work along a dual carriageway, and almost everything is blocked out (around 90-95% of the noise). Sound quality is amazing, especially when coupled with the fantastic active NC. Yes these are expensive, but the NC is the best I've seen, battery life is amazing, & sound quality is outstanding. Overall a highly recommended purchase.
The best premium wireless headphones

Reviewed by connor on Argos
I was in the market for premium headphones and these are the best ones, the noise cancelling is amazing the rattling train is now completely silent which blew me away, the sound is great, the balance is perfect, the bass isn't too high or low and it's the best I've heard songs sound ever. They are extremely comfortable and I can wear them for hours, I've used these on various long train journeys and the battery has barely dipped before 80%. I would recommend these to anyone, they are great

If your in the market for a set if high quality headphones, then your looking at the right item. I managed to spend so time with the Boss QC35 II and didn't not sound no where as good as the Sony's, with superb bass. The headphones are simply amazing, sound quality,battery life, comfortability and style. I even love the touch/ swipe features. It also has an amazing app to adjust sound quality / EQ and Noise cancellation. Don't waste you money on the beats for dre or the QC35

It took a long time for me to jump into this end of the market, I had been reading a lot of reviews in a lot of tech magazines they were winning a lot of fans and I decided to spend my hard earned and took the plunge. I am so glad I did, the sound quality is excellent and the battery life is remarkable, I got a full train journey to London and back and they were still at 60% charge and were still comfortable to wear I recommended them to my best friend and he is also very pleased.
Excellent ANC, decent sound quality.

The ANC on the headphones work superbly, the main reason I purchased them. They feel really comfortable while wearing for at least 2 hours. (The longest I have used them in one sitting). Sound is very good for headphones of this type but lose some clarity when using bluetooth. I tend to use them wired to get the best sound from them. Overall, if ANC is most important to you, get these and you won't be disappointed. If it's just music quality you are after, I would probably look elsewhere.
Great headphones. Very comfortable.

Wanted noise cancelling headphones so my son can use them to study at his busy uni flat. These really are good, he can block out any noise almost completely, yet by swiping his finger over the headphone he can adjust the volume, and reduce or increase noise cancelling. Sound quality is excellent. Charge quickly. Very pleased with the product.

The Sony 1000 xm3 is a Bose beater bar none. The Noise cancelling is the best on the market at the moment. The ear cups are very comfortable and light. The sound is rich with a good balance between high, mid and low frequencies. The downloadable app is full of features including a brilliant bass boost. A joy to use and listen with many features. A must buy.
Very good, but could be improved a little

Reviewed by MW on Argos
These are very good for listening to music and watching videos with high sound equality, especially during long distance traveling. However, you can only connect one device to the headphones at a time,so if you want to listen to music u have to disconnect from one and connect to another, the noise cancelling could be better. They are very comftorble and easy to use I recommend them.

Having switched from the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless, I just have to say how much of an improvement these are. The sound quality & accuracy, especially with the LDAC codec, & ANC blows me away every time I put them on. They're a bit warm to wear after a while, but are very comfortable. I could not recommend these headphones highly enough.

Reviewed by Andrew on Argos
These are stunning headphones. The noise cancelling is the best out there, with a sound quality over bluetooth to match. Paired these with my iPhone and my Sony Walkman NW-A105- I was blown away by the sound. Albums I've been listening to for years suddenly took on a new life. I was hearing things I'd never heard before in tracks I've been listening to for over thirty years.
