It is really good headphones I will said got good noise cancelling feature and you can switch 3 options like normal and surrounding and noise cancelling which I really love

Good headphones, bass is amazing, quality is spectacular as well

Great Sound, Works Great!! Comes with Carrying case. Best bang for the $$$ in my opinion

They are one of the best headphones I have purchased in which they are very good in sound quality for the use I give them that is only for TV and in perfect noise cancellation.

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.

All i can say is WOW!!! Had a opportunity to buy these at a great sale price so i did. The sound quality and bass and features of these headphones are 5 stars

[Employee of bestbuy] Easy and quick to going to and from noise canceling,love the sound boost button, great sound very loud

Love these especially running it helps me lock in when I’m running.

He loves them! Picture is of my new xm5. Love them too!

For a person who loves alot of bass this is one best choices in my opinion.

These worked fine for exactly one year, then exploded into pieces. I only use them on flights but the left earphone just fell off into my hand. I don’t mind the app but it constantly updates.

Really nice great for traveling it get rid of turbulence or fan noises but you can still hear people talking.

I love using these headphones everyday they are reliable

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.

My go to headphones for music around the house. Excellent.

At first the sound wasnt to good the sound wasnt to loud or impressive but after messing with for an hr these headphones are the best ive owned. Much better then the beats studio pros

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.

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.

If you're all about that bass, the Sony ULT Wear has a feature just for you with its ULT POWER SOUND settings. However, I found the highest setting too overwhelming—listening to Monster Magnet's "Space Lord" turned into a bit of a swampy mess. The lowest setting felt a bit thin, lacking that oomph, while the middle was definitely the sweet spot, although still missing a bit of punch. Plus, the breaking glass sound effect when switching modes? Kind of cheesy, if you ask me. Let's talk about the Sony Headphones Connect App. Sure, it's great to customize your sound, but honestly, who wants to fiddle with an app just to get their music started? It feels like a bit of a hassle when you just want to throw on your headphones and dive into your playlist. Now, the noise cancellation is where these headphones shine. Sony’s tech does an amazing job of blocking out the world so you can focus on your tunes. The toggle is straightforward, though I wish the headphones would tell me out loud when I'm switching from noise cancelling to ambient mode, instead of just playing a chime. Battery life is awesome. You get up to 30 hours of playtime, and while the quick charge is a nice feature, with the battery life it has you'll be able to wear for days at at time! The Multi-Point Connection feature sounds good on paper, letting you connect to two devices at once. But in practice, it's not as seamless as you'd expect, especially compared to what you get in the Apple ecosystem. Switching devices manually through the app can be a bit of a drag. As far as wearing these headphones are concerned, they're comfy! I've worn them for hours with no neck strain or ear fatigue. The touch controls are a breeze to use—no more guessing which tiny button does what. The design might feel a bit plastic, but the Forest Gray color looks slick, and the folding design is solid. If you're looking for audiophile sound quality or hate the idea of juggling apps, the ULT WEAR might not hit the mark, but these are perfect for long commutes or workdays when you really want to zone out and forget the world exists.
