SonyULT WEAR Over Ear Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones with ULT POWER SOUND, Ultimate Deep Bass, Clear Call Quality, Up to 30hr Battery Life, Alexa & Google Assistant, IOS & Android - Black

Amazing headset,bass is huge and on high setting is overwhelming but on setting 2 of the ult button it’s astounding and sound well balanced overall,i only used the Sony headphones app to update so I’ll be using these with only the buttons on the headset,fast and stable Bluetooth connection,very comfortable to wear as after a while I didn’t notice I was wearing them(around 10 minutes) great fit over head with no looseness issues once adjusted,not tried the 3.5mm audio cable connection yet but i don’t expect any problems using them this way,got these at a great discount price but on hearing the quality you get I’d have happily paid the original price for this headset,they look and feel good and sound amazing,the best overhead earphones ive probably ever had,highly recommended by myself.

Not a single complaint. Extremeely high value for money I don't even know where to start. First the build quality is absolutely amazing with the product feeling very premium and being a beautiful design overall. They come with so many features and the noise cancelling is absolutely amazing. They come with a case helping the portability of the product and they also automatically turn off and paused when taken off, conserving battery life. The battery life itself is great, I listen to my music load and with noise cancelling active but these headphones have a battery that ensures everything. I still haven't had to charge them since my purchase. Amazing product and will be recommending to everyone.

This is a very good product. Others / peers would consider myself as an audiophile so I think I have a reasonable opinion. These headphones aren't linear, so if that's what your looking for go higher up the range like with the bowers px7s or the Momentum 4s which should provide a more neutral balanced sound signature.The only reason to purchase these headphones is bass and the bass reproduction is fantastic. I am accustomed to listening to subwoofers with frequencies down to 14hz in room measurements and the ULT doesn't disappoint. Compared with the original skull candy crushers, while the crusher gives you more vibration it comes from haptics technology which is an augmented version of bass and in truth it's horrible by giving a fake altered dynamic to sound.I found that using the ULT mode 1 with the equaliser set to accentuate vocals gives the headphones the best balance across the range, where an increase in SPL doesn't cause any distortion. Sony have also given these headphones good impedance (sensitivity) as they can go loud on different platforms sources without needing an external headphone amplifier.No issues with comfort, battery life is decent nothing exceptional my only two criticisms which is through being a skeptic is that build quality is plastic so durability long term comes into question. Additionally, with specific songs / audio platforms the treble does sound slightly mechanical like someone's talking in a large room with an echo, it's genuinely not something many will notice unless your intently looking for deficiencies but it's not profound enough to be a massive detractor.Overall really impressed, deep bass that's authentic as stated this product should be intended for a niche market, those who enjoy music with firm bass extensions.

IMPORTANT Update April 2025 (~8 months use): So the left earcup holder snapped at the swivelling part - I thought the headband as a whole had started to feel increasingly weak but figured I might just be imagining things, until one day after taking them off my head, the left joint completely snapped without warning. IMPORTANT: if this happens to you, do chase up with Amazon and then Sony themselves as it seems there is a range of serial numbers where there is a "known fault" where the earcups snap at the joints - Sony even have a diagram showing the exact angle and location where the break happens, and are honouring a free fix. to be fair to Sony, they arranged a courier pickup, repair and return all for free and repaired it quite quickly, but the repair seems to only come with a 90day warranty. I believe they are extending the warranty on affected units to sometime in Jan 2026 however.Background: First off, I'm a middle-aged guy who likes "tech" but grounded in practicality of design choices and a general "spade is a spade" mentality . I bought these ULT headphones as a replacement to my old "Sony H.ear On MDR-100ABN" headphones which are technically still working after 8 years (bought in 2016!) but the headband + plastics were starting to crack, but otherwise have been attached to my head multiple hours a day as I have worked from home, self-employed since 2016. The h.ear set have been superlatively comfortable with great active noise cancelling (ANC) giving me a lovely "cocoon" effect that I love. I listen to a range of music from general electronica to classical and a bit of "rock". I'm no audiophile but found the soundstage and tone/warmth of playback OF THE OLD headphones to be more than adequate for the money. There was no app available for them - simple, on/off for power and ANC, and that was about it. You use your device's or apps' EQ settings to play with the sound. If the physical aspects of the product had lasted longer, I wouldn't have bought anything else.Actual ULT review:Sound:These new ULT headphones are priced around the same as the old h.ear set: Great.Sound quality is also *almost* as good as the old product.... When you have the "ULT" bass booster OFF. I can't quite put my finger on what the difference in that "almost" is. Maybe I just got used to the old set and don't like change after all? At ULT level 1 it still sounds ok, but sometimes feels like the bass is encased in a bit of cotton wool - it's just a bit muffled rather than actual more low endy. At level 2, it sounds like listening to the bass coming from a bass bin encased in a boy racer's hot hatch with the windows closed when you're standing about 20m away from it. Even in my younger bass head years, this would have sounded awful. You're better than this, Sony. Let's hope a firmware update makes it better.Physical Aspects:The headband is mostly comfortable when you get used to it, but still feels a little tighter than the old h.ear set, and I do find I sometimes lift the ear pads to release the pressure whereas I never needed that with the old unit. I think the quality of the ear pads have gotten a tiny bit worse over the years. Same with the plastics. They're still good enough for the money but it does remind me that in the ever constant search for more profits as time goes by, the quality of things is generally worsening - a sense of what do manufacturers think they can get away with without getting review panned too much.Forest grey is grey. I absolutely can't see any green tint at all and I don't consider myself colour blind. Luckily it goes better with my grey hair than I expected.So what are the "weird design choices"?Really it's just the confusing audio feedback when you cycle between ULT levels and turning ANC on or off. And the ridiculous number of unnecessary options in the accompanying app. Forgive me as I go into "Boomer" mode.First the noise when you switch between ULT levels sounds a bit like a retro 8 bit explosion that gets increasingly like a Michael Baysplosion is completely ridiculous and jarring when listening to anything tranquil. I have learned to keep this option switched off anyway so not a problem for me but what on earth were the design team thinking? Secondly, I do sometimes like to turn ANC off - there's a notification noise for that too. A slightly but not entirely distinctly different noise for off or on, and my brain processes a descending tone as "off" whereas Sony design team seem to think it means "on" - the sound cue just seems switched the wrong way round to me.The haptic gesture control is never as sensitive as I want it to be to change volume, but always too sensitive when I want to shift the ear pads or take the headphones off. At least you can turn it off completely in the app settings and use your device to control the volume, skip tracks, pause etc like a normal person. How lazy are we getting that we need to stroke our headphone's ear covers rather than reach for the device?I DO like that taking the headphones off automatically pauses the music/video I'm watching.The ability to customise the EQ for the headphones in the app under Headphones > Sound > "find your equalizer" is helpful but my old h.ear headphones didn't need this as they sounded great anyway.Why do we need gamified badges for using the headphones?? Yet more red icon notifications in app to distract us unnecessarily. Please stop with this nonsense.Overall: Good value for money but not great. Not so bad as to return them, better than spending considerably more on more high end units unless you're flush. Pray for for firmware updates to make the stupid features better.
