The iconic Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones now come in stylish earbuds, and we’re taking notice. The Sony WF-1000XM Noise-Canceling Wireless Earbuds have the same stellar output as their over-the-ear big brother. And they’re on sale for $178, or $52 off at Amazon.

In fact, these earbuds are so popular that they’ve earned a flawless five-star rating from 3,550 reviewers.

Multiple device pairing

Usually going for $230, the Sony true wireless earbuds sync via Bluetooth to your phone and laptop. They can also sync to more than one device at a time. That’s something even the over-the-ear headphones can’t do.

“Pairing is actually better than the AirPods,” wrote a delighted five-star reviewer. “I use these earbuds both with Apple devices (iPod, iPhone), as well as with a generic Bluetooth transmitter connected to my TV. The Sony earbuds connect instantly.”

Long-lasting battery

The Sony WF-1000XM3 boast a whopping 24 hours of battery life with their charging case, as well as an additional 90 minutes of playback on just a 10-minute quick charge. This comes in handy when you just need to listen to an episode of your favorite podcast or make a dent in a playlist on a time crunch, but don’t have a lot of time to charge up your buds.

“In terms of sound quality and noise-canceling, I find it to be excellent,” added a satisfied Amazon shopper. “My music library consists of mostly hip-hop and lo-fi music and these have great bass without being overly boomy nor too tight. There is definitely a punch you will feel greater than the AirPods.”

“Amazing wireless earbuds,” shared another five-star reviewer. “The sound quality that comes out of these small ear pieces is beyond phenomenal. The crispness and clarity blows my mind.”

The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
