However, the Sony WF 1000x M3’s are recommended for home use, traveling, or just using it for leisure time.
During the test of wearing the earphones, the earphones were snugged in-place during physical movement.
Even during rapid head movements, the earphones stayed in-place and were secured onto the ears.
However, when walking uphills or wearing them prolong amounts of time, the Sony WF 1000x M3 started to fall out just a bit, but not significantly.
