    For anyone thinking of purchasing I would highly recommend them, I have the XM1's for nearly 3 years and they are still going strong, very happy with the purchase!

    Going for €214 on Amazon.es at the moment. Don't know postage charges. I believe this price is in response to Media Markt's VAT-free offers this weekend and so will probably revert to 249 or whatever tomorrow. The xm3 earbuds also going cheap at €148.

    They don't seem to ship to Irl / UK. Unless I'm doing something wrong

    Surprised at all the positive comments here. The WH1000s are regarded as poor when it comes to call quality. If you just listen to music then you’ll be ok. But don’t expect them to provide good call quality to whoever is on the other end of the call.

    I was in the market recently and picked up AirPods Pro. Much better earphones than these.

    Really? Not good to compare in ear and on ear. Had Both. AirPods kept falling out. If comparing in ear then the WF-1000XM3. The WF are excellent, and they stay in your ears.

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    That's a good price. I love these headphones. Great for blocking out the missus.

    “Both are exceptional headphones, but there are tradeoffs on either. However, in most respects: the Sony WH-1000XM3 ( among the best headphones Sony has to offer) is the runaway winner here.”

    Can personally vouch for the XM3’s as being fantastic. Picked up the XM4’s on Amazon a few days ago for £298.

    Most reviews and users rate the Sony better for noise cancellation. Sony are also a newer headphone them the Bose.

    I've just ordered, they will be here Monday week. I had previously ordered them but cancelled when I got wind of the pixel 5 deal with the Bose headphones. Having read some reviews, I'll be selling the Bose once they arrive. Tempted to give them a listen and compare against Sony.
