Your music and nothing else

Escape the noise of the city with the innovative noise reduction system. The noise reduction technology is incredibly powerful, with ear cushions that fit perfectly and a new HD QN1 noise reduction processor.

The latter makes the noise reduction system even more powerful and effective. The dedicated NC processor also ensures perfect music reproduction with no drop in performance.

Intelligent listening

Customised optimisation analyses the sound characteristics of your body type (head size, glasses or hair length) and adjusts the sound accordingly. Adaptive Sound Control automatically detects whether you're travelling, walking or waiting, and adjusts the audio settings accordingly.

Also, the unique Atmospheric Pressure Optimisation system provides optimal sound at high altitudes. So you can enjoy the best of the noise reduction system in the air.

Stay in control

Communicate without removing your headset. Simply place your hand on the right earpiece to lower the volume and start your conversation instantly. UseSony's Headphones Connect app to adjust for ambient noise and listen to what's important.

Control everything with your fingertips. Take hands-free calls with a double tap or change songs, adjust the volume and make calls by tapping the touch panel or swiping with your fingertip. And a long press is all it takes to access your phone's voice assistant.

A sense of freedom

LDAC transmits about three times as much data (maximum transfer rate: 990 kbit/s) as conventional Bluetooth wireless audio, so you can enjoy Hi-Res Audio content in the highest possible quality, as close as possible to that of a dedicated wired connection.

Enjoy long hours of listening with long battery life and fast charging. Five hours of listening time after only 10 minutes of charging (AC adapter optional). The swivel headphones fold neatly into the carrying case with cable for easy storage.

    Mamamia thank you!!!

    I'm so happy! These active noise reduction headphones are my saviour!
    My neighbourhood is sometimes a bit noisy, with parties, mopeds and summer aperitifs with the ricanotron on full blast. That's when I put on my comfortable headphones and shut myself away in a serene bubble!
    Thank you Sony, thank you!

    A more than useful helmet that stands the test of time.

    Almost 3 years later, it's still working perfectly, so it's well worth the investment. The active noise reduction is useful for concentrating anywhere :)

    Helmet up to the standards of the professionals

    High-end hi-fi headphones with an unmatched price/performance ratio. This M3 version is almost identical to the M4 on a technical level.
    I got the end of the series with a reasonable price and it is my second headset that I offered as a gift to my wife who fell in love with my headset after having tried it once. I'm very happy with the quality of the headphones and I'm very pleased with the quality of the product.
    The delivery was perfect. It's a great service from LDLC.

    My 2nd and still satisfied

    Hello to all,
    I bought the same model for the second time, this time for my wife who was very satisfied after having tried mine compared to her focal: this sony model is lighter and the sound is much better.
    This M3 model is more than enough compared to the M4 version already the features are almost the same and the price is still different.
    For information, the M4 range is currently at 299 € at the fnac of Reunion, take advantage of the promotion until Sunday I think.

    Great helmet

    I bought these headphones to be able to listen to videos or the radio on TV, computer, smartphone and tablet while isolating me from outside noise (noise from neighbours or the street when I open the windows (noisy city centre)). The headphones do the job very well, the best I've found in noise cancelling! The only small flaw is that it has a short Bluetooth range, but given the quality of the product, we can forgive this small flaw.

    Very good at the beginning then 2 defects in less than 1 year

    At first I was very happy, the quality of the product is good, especially the Noise Cancelling is excellent, and the features offered in the application are interesting. However, after 6 months the battery did not work anymore. It was replaced under warranty. Since then the Noise Cancelling does not work anymore. I'm hoping for a warranty repair again but that's two defects in less than a year, which is disappointing for the price.

    satisfied

    I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and I haven't found any faults, except perhaps the Bluetooth link, which cuts off at a distance of five or six metres
    good sound and noise attenuator as effective as the Bose

    Great headphones!

    I really like these headphones because the active noise reduction works well and the equalizer function in the app that comes with them allows me to improve the sounds I listen to!
