How's the range and connection? Do you see any drop call or stuttering? Is the sound clear and crisp?
I think some of this going to depend on the laptop you're pairing with. For me, it's sort of a standard dell corporate laptop issued by my employer. I can get up, walk around my office, down the hall, etc. Haven't had a need to go further than that. I don't have any of the issues you describe above and I've never had anyone tell me I sound bad.

XM3 uses BT 4.2 while XM4 have BT 5.0. For those who uses the XM3 to watch movies, are there any lag between sound and video?

I do have bose qc35 ii model..it is good but not happy with micro usb and battery life. Also requires app to connect to any device which is kind of annoying sometimes. How is this headset compared to bose qc35 ii? I read some reviews and got an idea overall but would like to know actual user experiencein terms of battery life,connecting multiple devices.

Edit:

One more question regarding apple music audio..which headset is preferable?

I like these better than the Bose qc35 ii. I actually returned the Bose for these as I thought these sounded better for music and calls and were more comfortable. I think the noise cancelling is a little better on the qc35 ii though.

Sony headphones are designed in such a way that it could press against your earlobe. I have alot of Sony headphones since mdr V6 to xm4 And they never changed that. you don't feel it for a few minutes, but if you wear it for hours, you ear will start hurting.
For that reason, I still go back to qc35 from time to time. But xm3 and 4 are better at reducing the "underwater" feeling when anc is on

Just bought these, thanks for the link! Was looking at either these for the XM4's. At this price, I couldnt justify the additional $100 for the newer version. Plus if I dont like them, can just return in store.

Thanks again!

Folks on the other end notice my voice going in and out when I speak using these headphones. Anyone else observing the same? A firmware update should fix this?

If you're using these in an Android device, the XM3s would be better sound because one of the bluetooth codecs included in the XM3 is not on the XM4.

Quote from Eragorn View quoted comment :
... RTINGS wrote...the WH-1000XM3 are a somewhat better choice for neutral listening, as they have a more neutral, less bass-heavy default sound profile and a more consistent audio delivery...
From Soundguys:
"However, they don't emphasize sound in the same way: where the WH-1000XM4 offers a more neutral output, the WH-1000XM3 boosts bass output by around 5dB. This means the sounds of instruments like drums and bass guitars, and various low-end sounds that pop up in EDM can sound almost 50% louder, depending on where they fall on the frequency spectrum....the sound profiles of the Sony WH-1000XM4 and Sony WH-1000XM3 are tailored to different audiences....if you're used to just grabbing any old headphones off the rack, this kind of frequency response probably won't sound all that off to you. If you're more of an audiophile, the more neutral-leaning of the WH-1000XM4 is probably preferable. "
And Tom's Guide:
"Sony has done a stellar job balancing sound on both headphones, providing plenty of boom and room to hear subtle nuances in complex records. Having ANC mode enabled doesn't hinder performance either, with mids and highs still sounding crisp.
The bass levels are slightly raised on the WH-1000XM4, which you'll notice most on hip-hop songs; kicks and snares have more oomph to them."

Andriod Authority:
"Don't get us wrong, both the Sony WH-1000XM3 and WH-1000XM4 sound great. They're accurate across the entire sound spectrum, and just about any music will sound spot-on and accurate. However, the two pairs are not identical in their sound emphasis. The WH-1000XM4 offers a neutral-leaning sound, while the WH-1000XM3 boosts the bass by around 5dB, which makes a perceptible difference. Ultimately, this means that drums and bass guitars will sound a bit louder on the older pair, and it might be the go-to for EDM lovers."

So I know sound is subjective, but half the reviews I've read say the 1000XM4 are more neutral, with the 1000XM3 having a more "commercial" bass bump, while the other half say vice-versa.

I know my ears probably can't tell the difference- I do own the 1000XM4, and they seem more neutral than other headphones in my stable- but I've never had/listened to the 1000XM3s.

The only thing stops me buying these is the comfort of long time use. Is the 4th version of Sony better on it? Need a pair for like 10+ hours flight and Bose is always really comfortable.

XM4's have been tagged for $180 (refurbished) and they're my favorite headphones. I'd say wait for those.
XM3's are probably only worth $120, assuming you're not taking advantage of some other promotion
