Upscale digital music with DSEE HX

Truly wireless technology
With Bluetooth® wireless technology and an ergonomic fit for all-day comfort, the WF-1000XM3 noise-canceling headphones offer true wireless freedom.
Engineered for a secure, stable fit

Ergonomic Tri-hold structure
The noise-canceling earbuds are ergonomically designed to make contact with three different points on your ear for a secure, comfortable fit.
![Image showing the high-friction rubber surface of WF-1000XM3 earbuds.](https://www.sony.com/image/9bc352e06c426de887bdc8838c6a7ccc?fmt=png-alpha&wid=600)
High-friction rubber surface
A high-friction rubber surface keeps the noise-canceling earbuds snug and secure in your ear, so they won't slip out unexpectedly.
All-day battery life
With the WF-1000XM3 noise-canceling headphones, the music just keeps on playing.
![24-hour battery life icon](https://www.sony.com/image/6a197be1d300fe94c98585dec31c2ee5?fmt=png-alpha&wid=600)
Up to 24 hours of listening
On a full charge, the headphones offer 6 hours of power, and the handy charging case provides a further three charges to keep you going throughout the day. That's up to 24 hours of noise-free listening. With noise canceling off, it's even longer — 8 hours of power on a full charge, with a further three charges from the charging case, for up to 32 hours of play time.
![10-min quick charge/90-min play icon.](https://www.sony.com/image/0f32dc6405c0560fe2fbac77a41374f4?fmt=png-alpha&wid=600)
Quick charging when you need it
Sometimes you need music, fast. So if your headphones are running low on power, a 10-minute quick charge in the charging case gives you up to 90 minutes of play time.
Smarter listening
Powered by innovative SENSE ENGINE™ technology, WF-1000XM3 noise-canceling headphones enhance your listening experience with a range of smart features.
Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to whatever you do
The Sony | Headphones Connect app offers Adaptive Sound Control, a smart function that automatically detects what you're up to—such as traveling, walking, or waiting—then adjusts ambient sound settings to suit the situation. You can also customize the settings to your preferences.
