Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were a gift, my first Bluetooth over the ear headphones. The sound quality is very good bringing out a lot of detail in the sound from my TV, especially with some of the newer high quality broadcasts. I have not used them for purely music listening thus far. They paired easily with my Sony TV. I do not se them for long periods of time so cannot comment on their long term comfort They work fine for my purposes.

Get these if you love bass with quality sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I normally trend more towards bass heavy headphones but I like being able to hear all the instruments and vocals of my music. Out of the box these probably won't sound great but once you turn on the ANC or the Transparency mode and adjust the equalizer a little bit, I spent maybe 10 minutes adjusting, they sound absolutely amazing! Throw the in the extra bass from the ULT1 or ULT2 setting and these punch way above their price

Posted .Hi Armand,
That's fantastic feedback! We're thrilled you're loving your WH-ULT900N headphones, especially how you've customized the sound. It's great you found that with a little EQ adjustment and activating ANC or Transparency mode, they sound absolutely amazing. And with the ULT1 or ULT2 bass settings, they truly punch way above their price, delivering the impactful bass you love without sacrificing instrument and vocal clarity. Thanks for the 5-star review!
Thanks for the review and the 5-stars rating!

Sony continues to improve
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having had previous versions of the extrabass headphones to compare with the ULT’s are lighter and more comfortable to wear than previous generations with the headband being the biggest improvement. Sound quality is also excellent for a good all purpose headphone set with the bass function being able to deliver extra punch without any harshness in the sound.

Perfect headphones just below XM5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really worth the buy if you have bigger ears they fit perfectly and the noise canceling is on par with the top brands like AirPods. Doesn’t lack features either.

Faulty headphones and even worse customer support
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.DO NOT BUY!!! I really wish I had read the low-star reviews of this headphones before purchasing. I purchased the UltWear headphones after my previous pair of Sony WH-XB910N headphones stopped working after around a year and a half of use. I had the Best Buy warranty purchased for the WH-XB910N headphones and assumed it would be a simple process to get my new pair. How wrong I was. Sony (very conveniently I might add) discontinued the WH-XB910N headphones, so getting a replacement pair was not an option. Instead, I had to pay the difference out of pocket between the original price of the WH-XB910Ns and the UltWear headphones. I figured the increase in price I had to pay would be worth it as I would be receiving higher quality headphones that would last longer than their previous generation (How wrong I was again). Almost every negative review for the ULTWear headphones on this page mentions the same flaw, the swivel hinge on the ear cups being faulty. Similar to other reviews, the headphones were well taken care of and have barely seen usage since their purchase, however the swivel hinge snapped all the same (Look at my photo and compare it to the others, all the headphones have snapped in the exact same place). This has been mentioned by countless other reviewers, yet Sony has clearly decided to avoid the issue in lieu of selling more defective products. After spending hours on the phone with both Best Buy customer support and Sony support, they both assured me that neither were culpable in covering the product and the costs of repair would fall on me. Utterly disappointing interactions with both companies who could have done even the slightest act to reestablish good faith. Its a shame too because I really recommended these headphones and the previous pair to literally everyone I know. I'll have no problem sharing the news now that Sony headphones and their products in general are not even worth the box they are packaged in. Stick to another retailer, buy Bose and avoid the mess of ever dealing with either of these businesses.

These are a no brainer to buy!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first set of "real" headphones. I've always been cheap and purchased $15 ear buds or whatever was available. Never again. These have great features and good sound. They are comfortable on the ears for hours. I love some of the extended features they offer and would purchase again.

Low-mid for Noise Cancelling w/o Audio
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for choosing Sony.

After two separate flights, 1 being 6 hours the other being 9 hours. I still had 90% battery life.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price point I paid (145) it a great buy. The noise cancelling is top tier for its price range and the base boost is dope for my EDM playlist. You can even use the Sony EQ app and adjust the vocals for songs, at first the instruments were over powering the vocals but I changed It. Great purchase for a budgeting buyer

Posted .Thank you for sharing your fantastic review, TyreekB!
We are thrilled to hear that you found the WH-ULT900N headphones to be a great purchase at their price point, especially for a budgeting buyer.
It's rewarding to know that the noise-canceling is hitting "top tier" for you, and that the Bass Boost mode is "dope" for your EDM playlist! That's exactly what we designed the ULT POWER SOUND series for.
We also appreciate you highlighting the power of the Sony EQ app! We built that feature so users like you can customize the sound profile, and it’s great to hear you successfully tweaked the balance to prevent instruments from overpowering the vocals.
Thanks again for your strong recommendation and for choosing Sony!

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently took a trip and these were so good. No plane noice, no babies crying! I didn’t even heard the flight attendant ask me for a drink. The only problem with these is the placement of the power button. If you try to reposition your headphones you could knock the power off!

Posted .Hi MJinSunrise,
We're delighted the ULT WEAR Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones were fantastic on your trip, perfectly blocking out all that unwanted sound! We apologize for the frustration with the power button placement causing accidental shut-offs. A quick fix is to re-map the Custom button's function in the Sony Headphones Connect app to avoid accidentally powering down the unit.

I really like them.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like these. They do everything I want them to do. They feel good on my ears. Not a lot of headphones do this because my ears are stretched and I have my industrial done. I like that I can change the bass. I listen to audio books and music, so changing the bass when I want to without having to go through an app, is great. My only issue is that these are not completely noise canceling. They are good, but when I am listening to my music or audio book, I am in an auditorium filled with little kids yelling and screaming doing gymnastics, and I bought these because their noise canceling. They do a good job, but not enough. I can still hear the kids yelling or the music the auditorium is playing in the background. Maybe these would be better in a place that wasn't so loud. But for the price, I think these are great.

Posted .Hi Abcdefghijklmnop, We’re so glad you’re enjoying the comfort, especially with your stretched ears and industrial piercing, and the customizable bass control for your audiobooks and music! It’s awesome that the quick bass adjustment without an app is working out for you. We totally get your feedback about the noise canceling in a super noisy spot like an auditorium full of kids. To make the most of the noise canceling function, we recommend to make sure that headphones are worn properly and also turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it. The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess
