Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024
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!
