    Great headphones! I have been a big fan of Sony headphones for a long time and have been using them for years. This one also did not disappoint. The Active Noise Cancellation is great, although sometimes in high wind or vibration environments, it could do a bit better. The price point is perfect!

      Thank you for your enthusiastic review, KyleW!

      We are absolutely delighted to hear how much you are loving your WH-ULT900N headphones! It's fantastic to know that you are experiencing great sound quality and that they are delivering such an extremely clear listening experience across your entire playlist.

      Your appreciation for the ULT Mode is especially rewarding! We designed that feature to give listeners the option to instantly boost the low-end frequencies, so we're thrilled to hear that the "most base" setting is perfectly enhancing your music and providing a truly better, more immersive experience.

      It's wonderful that your WH-ULT900N headphones have become your go-to companion, coming with you "everywhere I go."

      Thank you again for your strong recommendation and for making Sony a part of your daily music experience!

    Excellent sound for the price, comparable to the sony wh-1000xm4. The one thing worth noting though is the sound canceling is just ok for day to day use not meant to be used at a warehouse or any extremely loud environment. For some scale the wh-1000xm4 is a 9/10 and these are 3/10 in noise canceling when being used in a warehouse during peak operations

      Hi Bungo, thank you for your detailed review and for sharing both your positive experiences and concerns. We're glad to hear you found the sound quality of the WH-ULT900N impressive, especially in comparison to the WH-1000XM4.

      You’ve raised an important point about noise canceling performance. The WH-ULT900N is designed to deliver robust sound and effective noise canceling for daily environments like offices, public transit, or home use, but it does have different noise canceling hardware and processing compared to our flagship WH-1000XM4. The WH-1000XM4 features Sony’s industry-leading noise canceling technology, which is specifically engineered to handle more challenging environments, such as warehouses or other extremely loud locations.

      While the WH-ULT900N provides solid everyday noise reduction, especially at its price point, its performance in highly intense noise environments will be less comprehensive than the WH-1000XM4. We appreciate your clear comparison—it’s feedback like this that helps future customers pick the model that best fits their needs, and helps us as we continue to refine our products.

      If you have any other questions about features or want suggestions for maximizing performance in specific environments, feel free to ask.

      Thank you again for being part of the Sony family!

    If you love bass and I mean really love bass, these are the heaphones for you. These rival the skull candy crushers. If you are looking for a rich sound profile like the M5 headphones you will not get that from these. The ANC is comparable to the M5s. For the price I don't think you can find a set of cans with more bang for the buck.

      Hi Moneymatt,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the Sony ULT WEAR headphones. We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. Your feedback about the sound quality is greatly appreciated. Aside from the ULT function, you can use the equalizer function of the Sony Headphones Connect app to fine-tune the sound quality to your needs. You may find this link helpful:

    I bought these specifically for noise cancelling and that feature is only ok. Most of the time there's a delay or the headphones turn off altogether. However, the audio is fire. QIf looking for noise cancelling without music I would look into another brand.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, SCU13.
      We are truly sorry to hear that the noise-cancelling performance on your WH-ULT900N headphones has been disappointing and that you have experienced issues with delay or the headphones powering off unexpectedly. That is certainly not the reliable experience we intend to deliver.

      We do, however, appreciate you highlighting that the audio quality is "fire"—we are thrilled you love the sound signature!

      We would like to help you resolve the noise-cancelling and power issues so you can enjoy the full functionality you paid for. These behaviors can often be resolved by ensuring the headphones have the latest firmware update via the Sony | Headphones Connect app, or by performing a system reset.

      Please contact our dedicated support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones so our specialists can guide you through the specific troubleshooting steps and ensure your headphones are performing optimally.

      Hi RichardC,

      We couldn't be happier to hear that you’ve made the switch to Sony and are finding the comfort and noise cancelling to be such a step up! It is fantastic to know that they are feeling better for your daily use. These headphones are engineered for that exact experience, featuring our Integrated Processor V1 which powers high-performance noise cancelling to block out the world around you. Plus, you’re likely enjoying the ULT button on the side of the earcup, which allows you to switch between two distinct bass-emphasized sound modes to really feel the power of your music.

      We really appreciate you being part of the Sony family.

    The sony ult wear are good reliable headphones that are great alternative to the xm series with all the same features. But, what makes it different is the bass that blasts your ears eveytime you listen to music which makes us bass heads excited.

    I’ve got ten headphones (two are buds) that said for $129 on sale these are fair value. Super light. Busy app. Hesvy bass. Muddy sound that EQ helps but not enough crisp highs for me. Comfortable. Nice case. Shortest charge cord ever. Could’ve paid another $70 for the xm4. I prefer my crusher evos and bose QC. About the same overall as beats studio pro but less comfy with more bass and less clarity. They also look bulky on head. Won’t return but would not buy a second pair.

      Hi TeeheeMF,

      We regret to hear you are having some audio issues with your ULT WEAR Headphones. Our ULT WEAR has a slider that you can use to adjust the length of the headband to get the best fit and for comfortable listening experience. Please note that if you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head, resulting in discomfort or a weak noise canceling effect. We do have good information on how to wear the headband headphones correctly so it is comfortable and reasons why your ears may hurt when putting on or wearing headphones. For your reference, you may check this helpful link:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00282845

      By downloading the Sony Sound Connect app, it lets you adjust the equalizer and gives you different sound modes. This will give you more control over your headphones and their performance. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission. For more details, you may refer to this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-ult900n/articles/00286844
