How many of you remember what you first portable music device was? For me, it was a Sony Walkman portable cassette player and for years after that, I had always associated music with the Sony brand. Now, not so much as much of my music is now digital and on my smartphone or computer. However, you still need something to listen to your tunes on and you’re not going to use your smartphone speakers because we all know what a sorry experience that is. With that said, those looking for some solid headphones should check out Sony’s latest WH-1000XM3 Noise Canceling Headphones, which will have you reminiscing again about those good old days when Sony was the “IT” brand for music.

When it comes to blocking out the noise around you, nothing beats a good pair of noise canceling headphones and the Sony WH-1000XM3 surely accomplishes that. Sony’s goal here was to make a product that focuses on “Only Music. Nothing Else.” Sony’s industry-leading noise cancellation evolves to further immerse you in your music with a proprietary noise cancellation processor (QN1), quick charge capabilities, and an updated comfortable design.
