The bass is amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound quality have been amazing. If you love base with a little distortion from time to time then go with these. If you want less bass and more clarity then go with there other more premium options. I do have one issue with these though, from time to time the touch controls just stop working and I have to either power down and then on again or if I take them off of my head and put them back on that seems to work every now and then as well. I am assuming it may have something to do with the sensor they have built in for detecting whether the headphones are on your ears but I have that feature disabled so I do not know why that would be a factor.

Better than the XM4

Best headphones I’ve used!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best ways I’ve found to listen to music. I mostly have listened to Bluetooth speakers over the years and have loved those but this is the most immersive experience I have found. The bass is excellent, sound quality is super impressive, and the battery is insane on them.

Deep clean base
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones because they give deep bass that is smooth. They are comfortable and they fold up which makes them hard to break. I lost my old pair and reviewed other headphones including Sony m4/m6 - these were still my first pick! I love them-great value and an overall great product!

Posted .Hi Brit,
It’s rewarding to hear that the ULT WEAR remained your first pick even after exploring other models like the XM4 and XM6!
We are glad you are enjoying the smooth, deep bass and find the folding design so convenient. It is wonderful that you can select from two different types of bass-emphasized sound: ULT1 for deep, low-frequency bass, or ULT2 to experience powerful bass. We are also pleased that you are experiencing the precise, punchy, high-quality sound delivered by the specially designed 40 mm driver unit and Integrated Processor V1, bringing you as close to the original recording as possible.
Thank you for choosing Sony.

Sony Ult Wear Headphone Review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very Responsive and clear sound! Love the base that it provides as well as the touch motion on the side of the right headphone. It lasts for around 2 days on a full charge! Which works great for traveling, and I love the case it comes with, very sleek and comfortable to fit in my backpack.

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.

Good sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from a Bose Quietcomfort headset, the sound quality on the Sony headset is really good, actually a bit better than the Bose. However, the sound app is trash and the auto shutdown seems to be flawed! The Sony sound app works but you'll have to tinker with it a bit if you're connecting multiple devices. Aside from the app being trash, I've ran into an issue where the headset just randomly powers off after about 15 - 30 minutes, while I'm actively listening to something. The only fix I've found was to turn off the feature that turns the headset off after a period of in actively, but now the headset will not power off if I forget to manually turn them off. These are a personal pain point for me because I'm always on the move, but the battery life seems to be pretty good. Even when I forget to turn it off, it still has a decent amount of battery left, the next day when I put them on.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Kyautic!
We are happy to hear that the sound quality of your ULT WEAR headphones is hitting the mark and even giving your previous pair a run for their money! However, we are sorry to hear about the frustration with the app and the auto-power-off feature.
Regarding the random shutoffs, this can sometimes happen if the sensor inside the ear cup isn't consistently detecting that the headphones are being worn. Making sure the ear cups have a firm seal around your ears can help, but we understand why disabling the feature was the more reliable fix for your lifestyle. We appreciate your patience with the app's multi-device settings and will certainly share your thoughts with our development team to help us improve future updates.
We suggest contacting our support line so our agents can help you check what is going on and walk you through some troubleshooting steps. You can find all our contact options here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?category=headphones
We appreciate your patience with the app settings, and we're glad the battery life is holding up well for you while you're on the move. Thank you for choosing Sony!

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 sound, fine noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Starting by saying I'm not an audiophile or anything but the sound on these is great. I love that you can manually adjust the bass, treble, etc., but also that there are a bunch of presets for these for different listening experiences if you're not as experienced with this type of thing (like me). The noise cancelling is fine. It blocks out things like sounds from cars or buses really well but not super great for things like people talking but I guess I would need ear buds or much higher quality headphones for that. The ambient sound option is pretty great at amplifying outside noise if you're in a situation where you need to be able to hear your surroundings. It's also super convenient to have a button on the side to switch between noise cancelling and ambient noise. Overall they do what I need and are pretty comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Posted .Thank you for your review, MICHELLE! It is most rewarding to hear that you love the WH-ULT900N headphones and the great sound they deliver.
We designed these headphones to provide a personalized listening experience, so it brings us great satisfaction to know you are enjoying both the manual EQ settings and the helpful presets. It's also wonderful to hear that you find the Ambient Sound mode to be effective and the dedicated button so convenient for switching between modes. We engineered our headphones to be comfortable for long periods of time, and we're so glad you've had a comfortable experience.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the noise cancelling. We understand your experience and want to assure you that our noise-cancelling technology is most effective at blocking out continuous, low-frequency sounds like those from cars and buses. While it can be more challenging to completely block out sudden or varied noises like human voices, we are always working to improve the effectiveness of our technology. Your feedback is valuable to us as we continue to innovate.
Thanks again for choosing Sony and for sharing your valuable thoughts!

Made me rethink my standard for headphones
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time buying headphones like this and I am very surprised with not only the build quality but also the sound it has, the bass in these are pretty will balanced with the rest of the audio. The audio pass through mode feels a bit lacking but maybe it's just a function that I'm still getting used to. The battery stays charged for a while even though that isn't my main way of using the headphones, I use the aux option most of the time, but still a massive bonus when I do use them wireless.

Awesome upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these because my last sony headphones broke after almost 3 years. I had the predecessor headphone models, which I loved. It was a more affordable, and honestly really simillar to the XM series. Im really happy with these because they feel slightly lighter, and the noise cancelling is WAY better. I like the noise cancellation off feature so I can be more in tune with my surroundings. The bass is also a lot better from the last pair. Best Buy also carried out my order ASAP after I put the order in from the site.
