Background

Sony H.ear on 3 was released in 2019 as a direct successor to the Sony H.ear on 2.

The H.ear on line were made as cost-effective alternatives to Sony's flagship WH-1000X series, offering similar digital noise cancelling, fewer features and more colours at a lower price. This 3rd generation model is essentially a cut-down version of the WH-1000XM3 and is constructed in a similar way.

The H.ear on 3s have a more distinctive rounded shape to it's predecessors and the WH-1000X line, with soft-touch plastic and large, patterned PLU leather ear cups.

As of mid 2022, even though the 1000X series have had newer iterations to the XM3, the H.ear ons have not, making this still the newest product of the line.

The H.ear on 3s came in Black, White, Red (Red/Black), Ash Green (Green/Pink) and Blue colours.

Identification

  • The H.ear on 3 can be identified by the product number 'WH-H910N', printed under the headband on the left side.
  • If it can't be identified the previous way, it will show itself as 'WH-H910N' when connected to a device over Bluetooth.
  • If it cannot be connected, the H.ear on 3 can be identified by their smooth, seamless shape, soft-touch plastic and thick, flared ear pads, which is quite distinctive compared to other over-ear Sony headphones.

It's product number should not be confused with 'WH-H900N', which refers to the H.ear on 2.
