Our Verdict

Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless

Sony WH-XB900N Wireless

The Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless are better headphones than the Sony WH-XB900N Wireless. The WH-1000XM3 feel like more premium headphones and most importantly, their ANC feature is way better, which makes them more versatile and a better option for commuting. Their sound profile is also less bass-heavy, but you can EQ both headphones in their app to make them sound more like you prefer. On the other hand, the XB900N have a longer-lasting battery life. They are overall very similar headphones, but the XM3 offer better value.
