Comfy on the head
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have tried many over-the-ear headphones and these are the most comfortable ones yet. The sound feels great, not overwhelming and more than enough. It does not stop you from hearing a toddler shreaking right next to you but it muffles it enough that it does not over power the music. Finally, the green is a very nice shade not at all loud and ugly.

Makes the XM5s harder to justify
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After owning the XM5s for over a year I decided to pick these up as the XM5s severely lacked in bass performance. Despite the "cheaper" feel and build, they perform very well and at times, are on par with the XM5s when in ULT 1 mode and both EQs in flat profiles. It has all the main features Sony advertises for the XM5s with the added benefit of folding itself to save on space, something I dislike about the XM5s. If you're coming from nothing, purchase these as you get big features for a small price. If your main listening genres are bass heavy like EDM, hip-hop, rock, etc, I highly recommend them as they emphasize those notes more and make the song feel more energetic. I personally prefer more bass so these fit me perfectly. The XM5s do have clearer and brighter characteristics than the ULTs at times but that can be compensated by adjusting the EQ. Very comfortable, sleek, light (Weighs the same as XM5), and is feature-rich so you don't feel left out in options. ANC is technically not the same as XM5 but I personally didn't notice a big difference between the two. Also, many claim that the mic isn't as clear as the XM5s but I rarely use these headphones when calling. Overall solid headphone for those who want the music to hit.

Great bass adjustable headphones with excellent AN
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great. The ULT bass feature is nice for on the fly eq adjustment of music. The spatial 3D audio is also awesome. I’m using Tidal as the music source and it feels like I’m listening to some of my favorite songs for the first time again. The bass is powerful but with the ULT off the sound is still clear and the bass isn’t overwhelming. These are not the XM5s but they are half the cost and still sound great. The active noise canceling is also ver effective and works well even when not playing music. I’m very happy with the purchase.

Great Alt/ metal/ rock sound great for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these on sale and did the geek squad protection to total under $200! I’m a iphone - apple music user and set up was easy with the sony connect app. I usually use airpod pro 2s and my previous over ear headphones were crusher anc 2s. I like these alot! I use ult 2 and vocal EQ on app & they sound perfect for me. They are not loud headphones but loud enough where you don’t have to turn volume all the way up to enjoy your music. One word to describe these headphones would be chill! The overall sound is just chill. They have Avg ANC, and excellent real bass, I didn’t like the the artificial bass on anc 2. Vocals are is a little bit distorted and under instrumental but overal output sound is smooth for a enjoyable listening experience. I have not messed with custom eq because i’m fine with what the stock options changed so far. Worth it!

Posted .Hi Jreviews!
It sounds like you had a great experience with your WH-ULT900N headphones!
It’s wonderful to hear that the setup was seamless with the Sony Connect app and that the sound quality meets your expectations, especially with the custom EQ settings you used. Your description of the headphones as having a "chill" sound is quite insightful, and it’s great to know that you appreciate the real bass provided by them. While you mentioned that the vocals are a bit distorted and under the instrumental, it's good to see that the overall output still makes for an enjoyable listening experience. It’s also helpful to note the average active noise cancellation and sufficient volume levels. Your feedback on how the stock EQ options work well for you without needing further customization is valuable for others considering these headphones.

Great sound design for cheap
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ULT headset is very similar to Sony’s M4 and M5 headset. The ult has a built in ANC (active noise cancelling) function, with a tap of a button, the ult cancels all sound from all around you, to a ULT button that increases the bass drastically. This is a mid-range headset that is very budget friendly and comes with a carry case for it as well.

Nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use my headphones after closing time when im cleaning at my job and i love how fast i can pause my music when my coworkers talk to me just by touching the side, i like how i dont have to pull out my phone or look for the bottons to change my music or the volume, all i have to do is slide my fingers thru the side. Noise cancelation is a 10 out of 10, they work excelent at the gym. Sounds are really nice but i was expecting a little more inmersive sound, 8/10. But everything else is perfect, I would buy again and even get the higher model

Outstanding, Casual Listener’s Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality out of the box is impressive! The EQ app is fully optional but worth a look if you prefer to control your audio space to be just right. Also, it comes with an aux/wired option. No fancy EQ settings or electronic noise cancelling whilst wired, but the headphones are very good at filtering extra noise through their construction alone. I love how easy it is to connect with bluetooth and the portability of the headphones makes for easy packing when I go on trips or just when tidying up.

Great for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are exactly what I was looking for for airplane travel mostly. I wanted noise cancelling and they are much better than my last pair. They are comfortable, over-the-ear headphones. I do wish the charging cable was as long as the plug-in cord for airplane monitor, so if I ever need to charge more (for long flights), I can still wear them while charging. Not as expensive as some headphones, but not cheap either. I might buy another set for my husband. Oh! They come with a hard-shell case…perfect!

Got thump if you want it
