A first for me. I have these Sony headphones: MDR-1000X, 
WH-1000XM2,WI-1000X, BC-WF1000X, as well as a couple of their WIRED ANC 
phones. This one SOUNDS the worst - by far!

(I suspect they had been returned to "Amazon Warehouse" for that very 
reason. "Inspected" sticker means they work, but haven't been evaluated 
for quality)

Here's what I can't live with. The overall sound quality. They sound bad. 
Legitimately bad. I honestly do not know what all the reviewers are 
talking about. The increased bass response is completely unnatural. Good 
bass does not make itself known, it's just a natural extension of the 
sound. Instead, it's readily apparent that the bass is cranked up. I can 
mostly live with that unless it takes away from the rest of the 
presentation. Going back and forth for a full day with the XM2's, I can 
definitively say my XM3 unit sounded muddy, muddled, and lacking 
crispness. The difference was astounding. I keep the response curve flat 
and leave on the default settings including the high quality stream. I'm 
using Google Music on a Pixel 2XL as my source. The highs lose their 
definition and edge. Things that should be clear, crisp, sound like they 
are coming through fabric or drywall or something. Going back to the XM2, 
they were far tighter and clear. The XM3 does soften the hard edges of 
older recordings. My albums by The Monkees sound better with the high 
treble softened, but on modern music, it's frustrating to try to hear the 
edge of sounds that now just blend like mush into the mid bass.

I had a co-worker do a blind test. After 20 seconds with the XM3's, he 
declared they sound terrible. He confirmed what I had been feeling and 
told me to keep the XM2's.

Maybe I had a bad unit. When I tested the floor model of the XM2's a few 
months ago it sounded like garbage but the reviews were so good I took a 
chance. My home unit sound way way way better. So with the stellar 
reviews of the XM3's I figured it was a safe buy. I am incredibly 
disappointed. I really really really really really wanted to like these. 
I really did. But reading gleeful claims that they have a "laid back" 
sound while comparing to the more "lively" B&W PX headphones is a joke. 
If "laid back" means lacks definition and accurate energy... then okay, 
they are super laid back. I want it to sound right. I want guitars to 
have that edge. Vocals to sound present, not behind a veil. Bass to have 
quick response, not lingering mud. These sound like they have a standing 
wave in the midbass.

As a side note: I've never gotten the NFC pairing to work on with the XM2 
or XM3.

It seems I'm in the minority. But reading other reviews I see people 
talking about how similar the sound quality is between the XM2 and XM3. 
Not for me. Vastly different. I'll miss the greater sound stage, but I'll 
easily pick a more accurate sound than the mud.
