    So torn between this and the Sony WF-1000XM3

    • Buy2Much on 04/11/2019 - 18:59
      +2

      Am leaning towards the Airpods Pro for these (all else being equal):
      Sweat and water resistance (IPX4)
      Case can be charged wirelessly using a Qi-certified charger
      Mind you the Sony can be obtained cheaply with special deals.

    • thebadmachine on 04/11/2019 - 19:00
      +4

      According to a ‘typical consumer’ user experience I saw.
      The main differences / swaying points seemed to be:

      WF-1000XM3: Better battery-life (6-8 hrs listening vs 4.5-5 hours), Total battery hours are the same at 24 hours (so I guess you only have to charge 3 times in the case for Sony, and 4 times for Apple to get the full 24 hours).
      AirPods Pro: Natural sounding ambient-mode (sounds like you just took the buds out rather than listening though a mic).
      And the comment above mentions splash-proof & wireless charging if that is important to you.

      The other differences like overall Sound-quality & ANC strength are minor (probably 10-20% difference between the two) and most consumer’s would probably have a tough time telling the difference.
      A comment also mentioned equal function with AirPods on Android devices.

      Edit: one more point.
      Typically with Sony’s such as the XM3, switching between any 2 devices seems to be an issue (you have to go into BT settings and select it everytime you switch)
      And with the AirPods Pro (only if you use with multiple Apple devices) I imagine switching between devices to be easier, especially with ‘Newer’ Apple devices with the proximity chip (I imagine this is one of the uses for the chip).

      • becku on 04/11/2019 - 20:22
        +1

        Unfortunately switching between devices using Airpods still requires going into setting. But from my own experience using the wf-1000xm3 (worst name ever) and Airpods 2nd gen, the switch process is much easier for the airpods. The xm3 just confuses itself half of the time.

        • thebadmachine on 04/11/2019 - 20:25
          +2

          I thought when you opened the AirPods case near an Apple device the ‘pop-up’ would show and they would connect with that (closest) device (maybe only on new iPhone 11).

          “For the first time, the iPhone 11 and iPhone Pro will include what Apple's calling a U1 chip. The U1 will enable so-called ultra-wideband positioning powers, giving devices the ability to determine each other's location when they're in close proximity. Think of it as Bluetooth on steroids.”

          • becku on 04/11/2019 - 22:52

            @thebadmachine: That's only a pairing process, you can't really switching devices by doing that, although I hope they can make that happen in the future

            @thebadmachine: You can switch devices from the control centre (by tapping the little airplay icon in the music controls). It almost instantly switches between my beats and AirPods

        • WhyAmICommenting on 04/11/2019 - 23:08

          This exactly. Sony locks onto last device if it’s in range so you need to disconnect on device A before connecting on device B.

          AirPods you can “take control” from device B and device A just does a Frozen and “let[s] it go”

          • becku on 05/11/2019 - 11:22

            @WhyAmICommenting: That's not true. You can just choose to connect the Sony xm3 with device B and it would disconnects itself from device A and connect to B. My problem with it is that it could sometimes take a while to do so, but half of the time it works pretty well

          Series 2 Airpods have been extremely good in switching between my iPhone XR and MacBook Pro. Switching has consistently been between 2-3 seconds

      Airpods pro hands down for the comfort and fit, the Sony's fit is just trash when you run its like a extended earwax hanging outside your ear waiting to party. Plus the airpods pro portability and ease of use is no match for any other TWS with anc. You can hate on apple all you want but they just made the best TWS on the market right now.

          Subjective. I personally find the AirPods pro sound better and get a better seal in my ears, hence better bass response too.

          For me Airpods are way way more better in every aspect! Fit, Sound quality, case size, noise cancellation and best part switching between devices as its a nightmare when i use my WH-1000XM3 with different devices. The re-pairing process is literally trash!
          Why headphones at that price range have to be this bad.

        The battery in my last Airpods only lasted 13 months. Took them to an Apple store and was advised that this is typical if they are used frequently and is not a warranty issue. The battery cannot be replaced, the only option is to buy new units. I suggested the box should say that the expected useful life is 12-18 months, was advised that if I wanted to escalate above the store manager the ONLY way was to engage the Apple legal team, and that this team will ONLY respond to correspondence from another lawyer (you cant contact them yourself).

        Point is, when you spend your $300+, be aware that you may only get 12-18 months out of these units and that they will have little or no resale value.

        • Hybroid on 05/11/2019 - 10:36

          I bought mine in May 2017 and use them quite literally daily for many hours a day for personal listening as well as Skype for Business calls and they're still working fine. The battery certainly doesn't last as long as it did but charges quickly fine and keeps going. 2.5+ years solid use for an early adopted product isn't bad I reckon.

      • davesgnl05 on 05/11/2019 - 10:10

        Subjective. The fit can depend on the individual. I've owned a couple of sets of Sony's wireless range and they fit very well. Airpods for me just don't sit right.

            @youwin96: Yup, I'm talking about the in ear range. Airpods don't stay in my ear. Sony wireless do, hence the fit being subjective to the individual.

    • becku on 04/11/2019 - 20:17

      I've got the sony. Noise cancelling and sound are top notch but the connecting time sometime can be mind bogglingly slow, especially you often like to switch it to another device. For example if I connected it to my phone and now I want it to connect to my ipad, it sometimes can be smoothly done but half of the time it confused itself and fail to connect to the new device. And sometimes it just took longer than normal to connect to the established device. I reckon Apple's H1 chip in the airpods can be a solution to this and honestly I have been waiting for a airpods that can do noise cancellation forever. If the airpods pro was out at the same time as the XM3 I would totally choose it over the sony's.

      • sauce2k on 05/11/2019 - 00:22

    • becku on 04/11/2019 - 20:19

      Also the sony xm3 has a very large case that is just barely fit into your pocket. If you like to have a more comfortable fit airpods pro has a much smaller case

      Are the Sony’s repairable at all? Considering that once the batteries in the Airpods Pro are worn out and that you can’t service them they’re essentially a consumable electronic item with a lifespan of maybe 2-3 years. Worth considering whether or not spending that much money on something you have to throw out after 2-3 years is worth it.

    • ChatGPT-4 on 04/11/2019 - 23:28

      To be more specific, Apple Wireless Noise-Cancelling earphones.
      You can get Apple EarPods for $18-$25.

      Wireless Noise-Cancelling earphones to begin with are priced close to Wireless ANC Over-Ear Headphones, just in a different form-factor.
      So basically you get smaller technology and sacrifice ANC strength & battery-life.

    • Buy2Much on 04/11/2019 - 19:37
      +2

      @CrumyDog, Then these types of earphones are probably not for you. The RRP for ANC wireless earphones with these features and quality are more or less around this price range regardless of brands (Apple, Sony, Bose etc). Apple is the latest so we are not seeing big discounts yet (not to mention Apple give very small margins to their resellers, which is why a lot of sales "excludes Apple products").
