Our Verdict

Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless

Sony WF-1000XM3 Truly Wireless

The over-ear Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless are better for most uses than the in-ear Sony WF-1000XM3 Truly Wireless. The WH-1000XM3 are more comfortable, have a better battery life, and do a much better job of blocking out external noise like bus engines. Their mid-range accuracy is also better, so vocals and lead instruments sound clear and detailed without being cluttered. On the other hand, the WF-1000XM3's in-ear design makes them more portable and suitable for sports.
