Background and Identification

Sony headphones are produced by the Japanese electronics behemoth also responsible for the PlayStation. Founded in 1946, Sony has produced audio-video equipment, cameras, computers, and has made huge strides in the data storage space. Their headphones division is but a small branch of their company, yet they still produce industry leading headsets in both the over-ear/on-ear and in-ear categories.

Sony headphones can usually be identified by a printed Sony logo on some part of the headset or earbuds—however, their branding is a bit more subtle than others, so you might have to search a bit for it.

Sony deserves commendation for the repairability of their WF-1000XM3 wireless earbuds, as they had one of the simplest battery replacement procedures of our earbuds repairability roundup.
