Sony has a very high brand awareness all over the world, and Chinese users are no strangers to it, with a deep foundation in audio tuning, and its Walkman series has even become a symbol of the times. Sony's true wireless earbuds all start with WF, and the high-end product line includes the famous noise cancelling bean 3rd generation WF-1000XM3 and WF-SP series, which focus on sound quality active noise cancellation and sports respectively; The mid-range product line is led by the WF-H series and WF-XB series, which focus on the fashion and sports markets.
At present, the only TWS on the market that can be compared with AirPods Pro is WF-1000XM3, which uses a new Hengxuan BES2300 Bluetooth chip, which improves the problem of serious delay and unstable connection in the previous generation, and is also equipped with a high-definition noise reduction processorQN1e, which has a good noise reduction effect, and the effect can reach more than 7% of its own head-mounted noise reduction flagshipWH-1000XM3, which is suitable for daily commuting.
Although the WF-1000XM3 still does not support its own LDAC protocol, for Bluetooth headsets, manufacturer tuning may be the most important influencing factor. Sony's own DSEE HX technology helps to improve the sound quality, and the overall listening experience is elastic in low frequency, clear in the middle and high frequencies, and rich in details, which is a product with good sound quality.
Sony's full-line TWS adopts a dual-launch dual-transmission scheme (similar to Qualcomm's independent connection technology for left and right ears), the delay under the AAC protocol is about 300ms, and the SBC protocol can be reduced to about 200ms, but when playing shooting games such as "Peace Elite", the delay of gunshots and footsteps can still be clearly felt, and it is recommended that players who pursue low latency should be cautious about entering this product.
The WF-1000XM3 has a slightly larger body and a better battery life than most mainstream true wireless earbuds, with a single battery life of 8 hours without noise cancellation turned on, and a battery life of 6 hours after noise cancellation is turned on, and the total battery life with the charging case can reach 24 hours, which is longer than the battery life of AirPods.
WF-1000XM3 can set the noise reduction environment sound effect through the App, there is an intelligent adjustment of noise reduction detection, and the noise reduction effect can be adjusted by detecting the user environment, but the user reflects that the actual detection effect is not very intelligent, so it is still necessary to manually set the noise reduction mode, the actual noise reduction effect is very good, and it can filter most of the noise in the subway station.
It is worth mentioning that in noise cancellation mode, the earphones need to emit inverted sound waves to cancel out the noise, so most active noise cancelling headphones can hear "rustling" white noise, which is also known as the floor noise, and even the AirPods Pro perform averagely. After several TWS horizontal tests, the WF-1000XM3 is one of the best true wireless earbuds on the market with excellent noise floor control.
In general,WF-1000XM3Take into account noise reduction and sound quality,And in both aspects, it has achieved the first echelon level,Sound quality、Battery life is slightly better than AirPods Pro,It is a true wireless earbuds worth buying within 2000 yuan。 The disadvantage is that the volume is slightly larger, and it cannot be worn without feeling AirPods, which is more picky, so it is best to go to the physical store to try it on first.
However, WF-1000XM3 is not waterproof, so it is not recommended to wear it when exercising, it is recommended to buy WF-SP series by users with such needs, the product with N at the end of the model is the active noise cancelling headphone, otherwise it is ordinary TWS, the biggest difference between the noise reduction model and WF-1000XM3 is that there is no QN1e chip, only the digital noise reduction function is used (that is, the chip utility scheme), the noise reduction effect is slightly worse but enough, IP55 dustproof and waterproof is its selling point, and the ear tips also come with shark fins, The sports fit is very secure.
The lower-priced mid-range product line is not equipped with active noise cancellation, WF-H800 focuses on a stylish appearance and uses a bright color scheme, while WF-XB700 is sporty, supports IPX4 waterproof, and has ExtraBass bass sound, both of which are priced at around 1,000 yuan.
