There aren't that many things to consider when buying WH-1000XM3 headphones, but customers do have a choice of two colours. They aren't all that exciting, with understated black and silver options available to choose from.

Sony offer official refurbished WH-1000XM3 through CentresDirect. All Sony's refurbished products are tested and repaired where necessary by their repair centre and have a 12 month warranty. However, these deals aren't always available, but when they are, the reductions can be massive. If you aren't too bothered about having brand new headphones, make sure you double check for refurbished listings before making any purchase.

There have been a few problems/glitches that have been reported by some users that buyers should be aware of. They aren't deal breakers, by any means, but it's still good to be aware of how customers have found the headphones, and any issues that have arisen. Most importantly, there have been numerous reports of XM3 headphones struggling in cold weather. According to tech site the Verge, performance becomes very unpredictable when temperatures plummet (anything under 5 degrees centigrade seems to trigger issues), causing volume to suddenly increase. According to Sony, the best thing to do in this situation is to turn the headphones off and “recalibrate” the touch sensor. This seems to work for many customers, but isn't an ideal workaround. So until this technical issue is firmly resolved, buyers may want to postpone their purchase, at least if they are confident of wearing their headphones outside during the winter months. It should be stressed that these aren't issues that affect the majority of users, but they do happen. Most damage and issues like this should be covered by Sony warranties, by the way, so repairs and replacements should be available.
