Has been using over a month now. It is great with voice cancellation and the base. Wouldn’t fit that brilliantly on but an absolute steal at the price.

Bad material design
TruongM Posted
Have been using this for 2 years, thought I would not run into the same issues as many other reviewers said. I kept it neat and clean every time after use. Sadly, it broke in just 2 years use. Sound quality is fine, battery life is decent, but design wise still need improvements

Sony Won't Let You Down
BenisJ Posted
As an audiophile, I love (may even be addicted to) noise canceling (NC) headphones whether over-the-ear or in-ear buds. This is my fourth pair of over-the-ear Sony NC headphones, having previously owned and reviewed the Sony WHCH720N, Sony WH-1000XM4, and Sony 1000XM2. With each release, Sony ups the game. My 1000XM2 headphones sounded amazing, but unfortunately did not hold up as well as I had hoped and cracked, thus leading to my 1000XM4 (purchased and reviewed in 2020) which I still wear on a regular basis. That alone should speak to the improvement in construction, comfort, battery life and quality of Sony's higher-end NC headphones. My interest in the Sony WH-ULT900N was the "ULT" (I am assuming it stands for ULTimate bass) element. My music tastes are fairly wide ranging from 60s/70s hippie and classic rock, 80s hair bands/rap/pop, 90s grunge/alt/rock/pop/hip hop, 00s alt/rock/club/rap/hop/metal and modern alternative/rock. This means I run the gamut on bass. Obviously, the 60s-80s music is a bit lacking in bass. The 90s introduced more prominent bass lines in rock and hip hop and rap. Modern music has found a way to tighten and strengthen bass without being overwhelming...usually. When I am in full-on "dad mode" (i.e. riding the lawn mower and shuffling nearly nearly 7 decades of music) I often have the desire to quickly change the bass EQ--especially when my shuffle jumps from REM's "Superman" to Billie Eilish's "bad guy." My WH-1000XM4 headphones actually handled the transition "okay" but the Sony WH-ULT900N "ULT button" gives me the freedom to quickly adjust the bass without having to touch my phone or tweak an EQ app with each new song that comes on. [See my testing list of songs below and the "sweet spot" for ULT. Hint: It is usually "1"--or moderate boost.] COMFORT/FIT: As with any over-the-ear, noise canceling headphones, there is body and weight to the headphones, but it is on par with previous versions of Sony's higher-end NC headphones and the weight is not too much for all day wear. They do get a bit warm and sweaty if you are active. I would NOT wear these during a workout. Even just mowing the lawn the cups get a bit moist. A small sacrifice for the outstanding noise cancelation and sound quality, though. BATTERY: My previous Sony headphones have all lived up to the battery charge/life promise delivered in the product specs. These headphones will hold a charge of 30hrs (NC on, 50hrs if NC is off), quick charge to 90 minutes with just 3 minutes on a modern charger or 5hrs of charge with just 10 minutes on your charger. IN THE BOX: One of the BEST bonuses of buying Sony NC headphones is that they usually come with a case for storage. These headphones include a stylish, hard-shelled storage case to safely fold and store your headphones. Also included is a USB-A to USB-C charging cable but no charger. An AUX cable is included for wired connectivity. BLUETOOTH: I find the "dual device connectivity" useful as I often work listening to music or video conferencing through the laptop with the need to have cell phone connected to the headphones. The headphones switch between devices for me on the fly when the phone rings. ADDITIONAL FEATURES: The app, which was the same used for previous Sony NC headphones, gives you multiple options like turning on/off the dual device ("Multi-Point Connectivity) bluetooth option, an EQ (see photo), noise cancelation customization, a music player, a list of connected devices, and control over settings like "power off after X minutes" or "pause music when headphones are taken off." It is also worth noting that while the headphones themselves have the ULT button, a power button and a NC on/off button, additional controls like volume, skip, pause, etc. are touch controlled by swiping your finger on the surface of the right muff. Again, same controls as previous models, but you will want to take a moment to review the touch control settings so you don't accidentally hang up on an important call. OVERALL I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT for anyone who wants easy bass boosting with a manual button on a quality pair of noise canceling headphones. The battery life and charging are spectacular improvements. The audio quality is among the best and is fully customizable with the app. Noise cancelation is above average and equally as good (if not better) as any other NC headphones at this price point. Dual device bluetooth connectivity is a bonus. They can be worn without discomfort for hours as long as you don't mind a bit of ear warmth. Construction seems solid with a fair amount of sturdiness even though much of the material is plastic. I honestly cannot come up with anything I do not like about these headphones. (Some of the) Music used to review: Pearl Jam: Dark Matter (strong opening bass line) - ULT at "1" Twenty One Pilots: Heathens - ULT at "1" Notorious BIG: Hypnotize - ULT at "2" Sub Urban: Cradles - ULT at "1" Post Malone: Wow - ULT at "2" Bon Jovi: You Give Love A Bad Name - ULT at "0" or "1" Information Society: What's On Your Mind - ULT at "2" Metallica: Nothing Else Matters - ULT at "1" Fall Out Boy: Uma Thurman - ULT at "0"

Definitely Comfortable. And Boomy.
hahanson Posted
The Sony ULT Wear headphones are a great choice for those who enjoy a bass-forward listening experience. With a sleek design featuring matte finishes and holographic accents, they offer a modern aesthetic that’s both understated and stylish. The comfort level is very high, thanks to the plush ear pads, though the faux leather cover may cause them to get warm after on warm days or prolonged use. Sound-wise, the headphones deliver an intense bass that can dominate the overall audio profile, potentially overshadowing mids and highs -- particularly using the highest of three ULT setting (off | on | really on) . This makes them appealing to bass enthusiasts but perhaps less so for those seeking a more balanced sound. I would say the overall sound is decent, but at times (more in some music genres than others) the bass can make the mid-range muddled. Of course, sound is quite subjective, so give these a listen. The active noise cancellation is the best I've found in a mid-range priced headphone, providing a quiet backdrop for your music. Functionality is enhanced with intuitive touch controls, although the lack of USB-C audio support is a notable omission. The battery life is commendable, ensuring long periods of uninterrupted use. Priced competitively, the Sony ULT Wear headphones are a good value, especially for users who prioritize a strong bass presence and effective noise cancellation in their audio devices. Overall, they’re a solid pick for daily use, offering premium features without the premium price.

Hi hahanson,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the Sony ULT WEAR headphones. We're glad that you like the design, comfort, noise canceling function, touch controls, battery life of the headphones. Your feedback about the ULT function, earpad material, and USB-C audio support is greatly appreciated.
You may experience a symptom called listener fatigue when using the headphones for a long time. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while.
Aside from the ULT function, you can use the equalizer of the Sony Headphones Connect app to fine-tune the sound quality to your needs. For more information, please refer to this link:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2981/v1/en/contents/TP1001293788.html
The USB-C port is specifically designed for charging the headset. If you need wired connection, you can use the supplied headphone cable and connect it to the headphone jack of your source device.
Hope this helps. In case you need further assistance, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

Earpice hinge.
DANIELAC Posted
Over a year later and the headphone hinge broke, sony had done a recall due to this issue but required much verification and just overall tedious process to only get the one hinge fixed. Sony and customer support left me extremely unhappy as a long time sony fan and owner of previous modles (M3) which ive had since release and still work im disappointed with the ULT.

Thanks for the honest feedback, DANIELAC.
We are really sorry to hear about that hinge breaking on your ULTs, especially since you've been a loyal fan since the M3 days. It's awesome your M3s are still going strong, but that definitely makes it more frustrating when a newer pair gives you trouble like this. We also appreciate you calling out the headache with the support process. We want that to be way smoother, so we're passing your notes along to our team so we can do better.
Thanks for sticking with us over the years, and we hope we can earn back your trust.
