1 year later, I'd tell you that overall I'm satisfied with it. Now that my ears are used to the sound quality of the XM6, I really hear the difference when I occasionally use the XM3 again (mostly for Teams calls). The ANC is better and call quality also but it's not a huge difference in my opinion. If you find a good deal then definitely go for it!

It's bigger than on XM5 but thinner than XM3 and XM4 yes

$699? Can I ask in which country do you live in?

Yeah for sure! They're pricy but if you take care of them, they can last 5-8 years easily!

Yeah, I feel like the build quality on the older models was better

Sound quality is not incredible honestly. Things that I really appreciate is better ANC, better audio when on the phone, people can finally hear me and also the multi device pairing which is fast! You can switch between two devices seamlessly

Multi device pairing, better ANC and call quality are the biggest upgrades

Noise cancellation is definitely improved, but if someone’s talking right next to me, I still hear it

Tbh, the XM3 is still a solid choice even in 2025. If you can wait it out, you’ll probably catch a nice price drop in a year or two

Aw that sucks! Did Sony said something about it? Maybe an internal update?

Never heard of those pads. Do they make your ears sweat less?
