Busy work makes me feel that I have gradually lost my living space. I hear the noise but want to have my own pure land. Therefore, headphones have almost become standard equipment for my travel, but headphones alone are not enough. Only those that can truly reduce Noisy headphones can meet my needs!
Although true wireless earphones have fully exploded in the past two years, until today, earphones capable of both active noise reduction and true wireless function are still rare. No matter how you look at it, only the Sony brand can create a perfect reduction. Noisy earphones, no, I bought this cutting-edge earphone when the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones were just released, plus the WF-1000XM3 that I already have at home, and I have a set of “I can go anywhere all year round.” “Noise reduction” equipment, let us analyze these two headphones one by one in terms of wearability, function, battery life, and sound quality performance.

And its shape is much higher than ordinary true wireless earphones. When I choose earplugs that fit my ears, they won’t fall off after wearing them because it uses an ergonomic three-point fixing method. The high-friction rubber surface, so it will not be as oppressive as the headphones I used before.
The Sony WF-1000XM3 cancels the previous physical buttons of the WF-1000X series, but uses the touch panel to operate. The specific operation method is very simple, so I won’t go into details, but for personal experience, just press and hold the left touch The panel can turn on the function of fast ambient sound, which is very convenient.
After talking about the earphones, let’s talk about the charging box. This charging box is designed with a skin-like material and feels very good. However, to prevent scratches, I usually cover it with a protective cover before putting it in my bag.
Magnetic opening and closing, and the weight is also moderate.
