Our Verdict
Cowin E7 Pro Wireless
Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless
The Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless are noticeably better headphones than the Cowin E7 Pro Wireless. The Sony are better-built, more comfortable, have better noise isolation performance, and they have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer. The Sony also have a touch-sensitive control scheme, while the Cowin has physical buttons, which won't malfunction in freezing conditions like the Sony. The only thing that the Cowin do that the Sony can't is provide audio while charging.
