Sony headphones have honestly been a hit or miss for me, but I've always been a fan of their products. The ULT wear are the absolute BEST sony headphones I've tested to date. This one is definitely for the bass lovers. The quality is very good for the price range, nice and light on head and great materials. Battery life is in line with the XM5, expected to get around 30-50hrs( All really depends on usage). The sound out the box with no tweaks is a quite pleasant warm sound signature thats easy on the ears, but these have the sony “Headphones” app for you to tune them to your liking and play around with some preset EQ modes( My personal EQ is on the review pics). The party really begins with the ULT button, so let me explain them individually!
ULT off - depending on your EQ, the headphones will sound like that, with no boost to the bass, but still present
ULT 1- Adds a nice deep boost to the bass that you can feel while keeping your eq consistent!
ULT 2- the headphones just turned into subwoofers!, boosting the bass to where you now are feeling the music!, its incredible!
Noise cancelation and aware modes are right up there with the top of the line Xm5. Even with the bass at its peak performance, there is no distortion when either of these modes are on even at high volumes!
At $199 retail, they are worth every penny!
Whenever on sale, snag a pair for sure!

Portable bass heaven
Pros: You have optional bass with the ult button,0 no added bass just your eq,1 heavy bass,2 Heavy bass with clear bass 10+Personally ult 1 is a sweet spot with these headphones and you can year all mids and highs perfectly unlike my skullcandys that muddy and vibrate my skull on a low F for classical music.These are worth every penny even beating out my Wh-1000xm4s in noise cancelling and in weight being much lighter and breathable.Perfect work out headphones.Also have much deeper and thicker earcups allowing for better sound isolation and overall a better hold onto the noggin. I use these when mowing the lawn and I can't hear it at all so that's a plus.Cons: uses much cheaper Prothen Leather that seems to get sticky upon getting wet? After a few wipes it was good and no longer sticky.There's no off switch to use the headphones without noise cancelling or pass through.Other than that these are amazing bang for the buck headphones that demolish Skull candy's by a mountain, with their amazing noise cancellation and much more clear bass.Having real big drivers that can shack the headset itself even taking lows lower than my current sub system which is really impressive for $200!All in all best purchases I've made for a pair of fun headphones. (Makes Rap and Hip hop sound like a dream)

Controls on the headphones.
Left side controls
AN/AMB:
- Press once for Noise Reduction, to remove outside sounds
- Press again for Ambient Noise to hear outside sounds
The AN feature is useful in a noisy environment such as on a plane to remove the noise while watching a movie or listening to music, and the AMB feature allows you to hear outside noise while headphones are on.
Power button:
- Press and hold 2 seconds to turn On/Off
ULT button: For Bass level
- Press once for level 1, twice for level 2
I find there is a slight difference in BASS, but not really noticeable.
USB-C port:
- Charging port for the internal battery (USB-A to USB-C cable included)
Cable is only 6 inches long, so headphones will need to be close to the USB power source.
3.5mm audio port:
- Standard audio port for use with legacy devices that don’t have Bluetooth capability. (4 ft. Phono cable included)
This is useful on a flight to connect to legacy media devices of the plane enabling the use of the AN feature of the headphones.
Right side controls:
The right side headphone has a touchpad to control the following functions.
- Double tapping once stops play, double tapping again resumes play
- Swipe back for previous track
- Swipe forward for next track
- Swipe Up and hold to raise volume
- Swipe Down and hold to lower volume
- Hold finger on touchpad to access voice commands (ex. Siri on iOS)
- Place hand on touchpad to quickly access ambient sound which lowers audio volume to hear someone talk (without having to remove Headphones), remove hand restores audio volume.
Using the touchpad functions is easy but requires some patience and practice.
Note. When removing the headphones, audio will automatically stop and resume when placed back on your head.
Before using the headphones, I fully charged the internal battery and installed the Sony Headphones Connect app for iOS, (the app is available for both iOS and Android) and I signed up for a free Sony account to register the Headphones.
I launched app on my phone and pressed power button 2 seconds to turn on Headphones and then 7 seconds to pair with my phone.
Note: 2 devices can be simultaneously linked once paired.
The Headphones options in the app has Status, Sound, System and Services tabs to provide information and configuration options for the Headphones. The Activity option in the app has tabs to log your listening history, daily use, safe listening and badge rewards for using features in the app.
Once settings in the app are configured to your tastes, it is not required to actually use the Headphones, but useful to have.
I’m an avid music lover of all genres and these Headphones provide a great listening experience with clear sounds and Massive Bass. With these on, I can enjoy my music without disturbing anyone.
The battery life is very good (at least 30 hours) which is great.
I have a fairly large head and the Headphones adjust well on my ears and provide a comfortable fit.
When I travel by plane, the Noise Reduction feature is useful to cut outside sounds when listening to music and/or movies on my phone or tablet. The wired phono cable is useful for times I want to Connect to legacy devices that do not have Bluetooth capability.
Overall extremely satisfied with these Headphones.

Even the ULT setting is off, you also get bass but on ULT 1 , you get a decent amount of bass and ULT 2 , the punchy bass and deep sound make the earcups vibrate but this doesn't make the rest of the music muddy. Also you can make it more right from the app. Overall great quality headphone. Every ULT products win including this headphone. BELIEVE IN SONY
DON'T LISTEN TO NEGATIVE COMMENTS.
