I picked up a pair of XM4s a few days before realizing these new ULT Wear headphones were coming out. After wearing the XM4s for a few days, I can safely say that these ULT headphones can produce a much better sound in the bass. The mids and highs are almost exactly the same to my ear. I played with the EQ from the app and tried to make them as similar as possible while listening to the same song and I prefered the sound from the ULT Wear more. Another feature that I noticed is that the ANC on the ULT wear outperformed the XM4s slightly. I had some noise pass through the XM4s while noise cancellation was on so that was a little disappointing and the ambient sound feature made the noise that passed through sound very robotic. After comparing this to the ULT Wear, I found the ANC feature surpasses the XM4s and blocks out more noise even without having music playing. The ambient sound feature also did not distort the noise that was passed through. A small but noticable detail that I appreciated. As far as the looks of both i think they look great. The XM4 have more premium materials that make up the headphones and a softer leatherette that makes up the ear cups. The XM4s sit more comfortably on the head and were not as tight on my head as the ULTs but only slightly. The ULTs do have a nice build but the XM4s do have the edge in that aspect. However this doesnt affect its performance. The ULTs I think are a solid choice for the price especially when compared to the XM4s and Beats Studio Pros. TLDR: ULT Wears over the current flagship models because the quality of sound is the same but the bass is better and the ANC is much better than the XM4s. Quality is good for its price point. ULT>XM4s>Beats Studio Pro

I bought these headphones 2 years ago and they have been incredible. The noise canceling is WILD, I get scared frequently because I can’t hear anything around me with them. The connectivity is great it always instantly connects, and the battery life is incredible, I think I’ve only charged them 10x or less in the 2 years I’ve owned them. They are super comfortable (but not great for the gym they fall off) The sound quality has been great until recently and this is why I’m giving it a 4 star instead of 5. I started noticing a scratchy muffled sound recently, almost like there is water damage. I only ever wear them around the house or in the gym and they have never fallen in water or been rained on. For the price of these they should really last more than 2 years without having issues.

I purchased the headphones originally because I needed them a lot and with research I found out a bunch of things about them now owning them. I can finally say that it is definitely worth it. It is budget friendly and Noise Cancellation is perfect. Sound quality is crisp. There are modes for voice And bass. Battery last a very long time and it will not overheat no matter how long you have it on. It is very comfortable. You can wear on while laying down or working on your office desk. It even works for gaming. The connectivity is very fast and easy for all ages to use. I absolutely recommend purchasing.

I’ve been using these for like 2 months and I love them. I use them for music and watching study lectures. I can use them for like phone calls or zoom calls but sometimes people say it can be hard to hear me but they will work for calls. I even sometimes just turn them on for the noise cancellation feature and don’t play anything. The sound quality is really nice especially in noise canceling mode. I’ve noticed if I have them out of noise canceling mode but a loud noise goes off near me or I yell it kicks noise canceling on which is cool. They fit nice on my head and don’t really hurt after extended use. The battery last a really long time I’ve only had to charge them maybe twice. I like the white color and it isn’t hard to keep clean. They came with a nice case so they are easy to carry around places. They also connect to 2 devices at once so I can easily be watching a video on my computer and pick up my phone and the audio switches to that. Overall I really like them, my only complaint would be they are kinda bulky and look big on my head/stick out far, but functional and quality wise they are perfect for the money.

I love it. I’ve been planning to buy the Sony XM4 headphones because of the noise cancellation but once I tried these on it was a no brainer. The noise cancellation nearly blocks out EVERYTHING and once my music plays you can consider me deaf because I won’t hear a thing. The bass is also one of my favorite features, it’s absolutely amazing as well as the sound quality. They’re also very comfortable on my ears which is a big thing for me because I wear glasses so many headphones start to hurt my ears after a while because they push into my glasses but I can wear these for hours and not feel a thing. Battery life is also a plus as well as the fully customizable capability in the app. 12/10 recommend

These are the best set of headphones I have ever owned! Usually, my main issue is the headphones cause headaches, but they are very cushioned so wearing them is comfortable. I also love the noise cancellation function which blocks ALL sound. I had earphones with the same function, but I could still hear everything around me. They also come in a sleek case that fits nicely in my purse and backpack. I can use them for hours without having to charge them which is convenient! Best purchase ever!

With experience with higher-end Sony headphones, I know you really can't go wrong with them when it comes to sound, so this time around I wanted a particular feature (Multi-Point Connection) to connect seamlessly between my phone and the Bluetooth turntable. Unfortunately, it does connect two devices at the same time once you enable it in options, but in my case, you still have to connect each device you want to connect manually if you are connected to the turntable. As far as sound, it is incredible on both streaming apps on the phone and vinyl. I was blown away instantly. I found the audio quality energized and tonally balanced during my first listen, and it only got better as I switched between the Ult Power Sound modes. The new Sony - ULT WEAR Wireless are Comfy for long listening sessions and have a plush design that feels typically on well-made wireless headphones. Outstanding potential battery life with sound that is bold for a confident sound presentation

After owning these for a considerable amount of time I have come to the conclusion that they do very well for a wider band of music than you would think when you think about Sony releasing a base heavy headphone. I've played everything from basic YouTube videos and reviews and gaming videos to face Heavy Music to rock music to bass boosted songs on YouTube and these things hold up very well now according to the batch number my pair is supposed to be an affected pair with the hinge breaking issue but as many have said in the past Sony has extended the warranty so that if mine do break in the future I should be able to get a brand new pair fairly easily what I will say is the ANC could be better and the base sometimes seems to roll off with certain songs but for the type of music I'm into it's done exceptionally well for what I expected for the price that they had these listed at and that's coming from someone who has never spent this much on a pair of headphones in their life before these I had Beats Solo for and I also tried a JBL product but none of them perform as well and consistent as this one I find multiple people say they want to stay on the first mode that this thing offers and there's a very select few group of people who would really appreciate that second button press because how I would describe it is with ult mode off you're getting TV base that sounds well enough for you to pick up but you don't really feel it ult mode one is like a basic car stereo on stock settings and mode 2 is like you threw a subwoofer in that same car and Crank It Up to the point where if you put your hand on the ear cup while you're playing a base heavy record on ult 2 you'll be able to feel your fingers vibrating a lot of people make the comparison to the Skullcandy Crusher evos and to that I say putting a vibrating motor in your headphone does not translate to having more bass than these do.

HI Aramis762,
That's excellent feedback! We're thrilled to hear how well the ULT WEAR handles a wide range of music and truly delivers on the powerful bass you expected for the price.
We especially appreciate your clear comparison of the ULT modes, which perfectly highlights the difference between standard sound, deep bass (ULT 1), and body-shaking power (ULT 2). Your positive experience, even with the ANC being an area for improvement, makes your review very valuable!
Thanks for choosing Sony.

The Sony ULT WEAR headphones are bass-heavy wireless over-ear headphones designed for immersive sound lovers. They feature powerful ULT bass modes, strong active noise cancellation (ANC), up to 44 hours of battery life, and a comfortable build. Ideal for bass enthusiasts, they offer customizable sound via EQ but can overwhelm mids in higher bass settings. Great for travel and casual listening, though not the best for balanced audio or call quality

The last pair of headphones that impressed me were the Beats Mixrs back in 2012 paired with my Droid DNA that had a beats audio amp built into the headphone jack. The bass and quaiity was so insane I had to turn it down some times and thats as a person who prefers heavy bass and high volume. These headphones are even better with crisper deeper lows that can only be simulated by a high quality car stereo. If you love rap/hip hop, R&B you will absolutely fall in love with these. I even went ahead and bought the Field 1 portable speaker a day after.

With a little EQ giggling these sound excellent. This is the first pair of nice headphones but I've always used quality speakers with my home audio set up, and these sound good even with the narrower sound stage than, say, home audio, or my favorite way to listen to music, which is car speakers. They look very nice, and are well constructed, and the case was a nice bonus. The noise cancellation seems to be very good though I have no point of comparison. Works well when hooked directly into a PS5 gamepad for game audio, though I have not tested or attempted to use the mic. Overall, I'm happy with them. And I would purchase them again in the future given these hold up for a couple years.
