I just tested these headphones on a conference trip, and they performed excellently. They are light, and the case is sturdy. It's easy to fold them and toss them into a backpack or satchel. Their lightness makes them comfortable for extended use, and I usually dislike overhead headphones or hats. The noise canceling is effective, making a plane flight quiet even with the volume at half. It's also not too overwhelming for working in quiet places like a library. The microphone is satisfactory according to the people I chatted with over various platforms (Teams, Meets, FaceTime). The touch controls are responsive, and the communication gestures came in handy surprisingly often. The connection is seamless, though a bit different from Apple products, but I figured it out quickly. Overall, I think this is a good pair of headphones for those on the move. There are multiple positives, although they might be a bit pricey.

So here's my only concern. I got the ULT Wear and I love them for the most part, with one exception. They need more volume. One or two more volume steps would do it for me. I also have the crusher anc 2, and they have slightly higher max volume. So I'm gonna spam this comment around, maybe we can convince sony to give this to us via a software update. I know they want to protect our ears (avoid lawsuits), maybe they can program the headphones to give a loud volume warning like many phones already do and keep it pushing. some content is just recorded at a lower volume... LETS ALL BEG SONY FOR THIS UPDATE!!

In terms of sound quality/bass, which do you prefer?
@NASCARandcheese14 ай бұрын
@@NextGenKid101 I like the sound of the sonys better (with ult off and no eq) definitely cleaner. they get a little muffled sounding with both ult modes. The crushers obviously hit harder, with convincing enough tactile bass. i switch between them depending on my mood. Crushers are better for bass for sure

I totally agree ! my sony WH-1000XM3 have so mutch volume, but my sony WH-XB910N are so quiet it lets me listen to sony WH-1000XM3 just because of that. Even though i like bass.

Currently comparing the ULT with the XM5's both on flat profiles but with ULT 1 bass mode. It really does kick harder than the XM5's and sounds just as good as the XM5s. The XM5's just seem to sound "clearer" in terms of treble but they really lack in bass ever since I bought them last year. What sold was the fact that they had all the good features from the XM5 and they were foldable.

i love sony, but i have a pair of razer kaira pro, good bass, BUT they have HAPTIC FEEDBACK in the ear cups and actually VIBRATE every bass transition truly giving immersion and actually FEELING the bass and hearing the bass, imagine playing a game or watching a movie and something impactful happens and the bass mimics the impact, thus delivering immersion and awesomeness lol

vielen Dank! Excellent review. I'm 77 but prefer also good clear treble. Will the ULT 900N provide that too? Lived in Rhein-Pfalz in the 80s. Miss Deutschland.

Gerne. If you are not using the ULT Button, than the sound is quite okay, the mids are clear. But there are better Headphones for that.

I like the idea of more features in a cheaper outer shell. As long as said outer shell is durable. I’m not a bass head so these aren’t for me. I would find it interesting to see how the Sony app EQ (among the class leaders) improves the sound. Or not.

Vom Klang etc finde ich die ults sehr interessant, mache mir nur etwas sorgen wegen der Plastik Qualität die schon in einigen Videos kritisiert wurde… ist das wirklich so ein Problem? Ich habe keine Lust 200€ auszugeben, was heutzutage ja mittleres bis unteres Preisnehmern zu sein scheint🙄, und dann einen Kopfhörer zu haben der schon nach kürzester Zeit knarzt oder dergleichen.
@LeechTM4 ай бұрын
Ich kann natuerlich nicht sagen was in 6-12 Monaten mit dem Kopfhörer passiert, aber vom anfassen her, ist das halt super billiges Plastik. Ich denke wenn du sorgsam damit umgehst, und das Case benutzt, passt das schon.
