Overview

The Sony ULT Wear (WH-ULT900N) is an over-ear wireless headphone built around Sony's ULT Power Sound tuning, pairing active noise cancellation with a dedicated ULT button that boosts bass on demand.

A 40mm dome driver with DSEE upscaling and LDAC support delivers detailed sound, while Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts your ambient sound settings based on your activity and location.

Up to 30 hours of battery life with noise cancelling on, or 50 hours with it off, means these headphones can comfortably cover long travel days or a full work week without a charge.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

We recommend the ULT Wear for anyone who wants Sony's noise cancelling and sound quality with an extra emphasis on bass, without stepping up to the flagship WH-1000X series. The physical ULT button is a nice touch for quickly dialing in more low-end for workouts or commutes.

Why the Sony ULT Wear Stands Out

On-Demand ULT Bass Button

A dedicated ULT button boosts bass instantly, so you don't need to dig into an app to change your sound profile.

Active Noise Cancellation with Ambient Sound Mode

Active noise cancellation blocks out background noise, while Ambient Sound Mode lets you quickly let outside sound back in when you need to stay aware of your surroundings.

Adaptive Sound Control

Adaptive Sound Control senses what you're doing and where you are, then automatically adjusts your noise cancelling and ambient sound settings to match.

Up to 30-Hour Battery Life

Up to 30 hours of playback with noise cancelling on, or up to 50 hours with it off, keeps these headphones going through extended travel or a full work week.

LDAC and 360 Reality Audio Support

LDAC support delivers higher-resolution Bluetooth audio to compatible devices, and 360 Reality Audio adds spatial sound support for certified streaming content.

Speak-to-Chat

Speak-to-Chat automatically lowers your music and lets ambient sound in when you start talking, so you don't have to pause playback or take the headphones off for a quick conversation.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

• The bass-forward listener: Someone who wants Sony's noise cancelling with an extra dedicated bass boost button.
• The frequent traveller: Someone who wants long battery life and reliable ANC for flights and commutes.
• The hi-res streamer: Someone who wants LDAC and 360 Reality Audio support for higher-quality wireless listening.

How It Compares

The ULT Wear brings Sony's noise cancelling and an added bass-focused ULT button at a more accessible price point than Sony's flagship WH-1000X series, which prioritizes overall sound refinement and industry-leading noise cancellation over an added bass emphasis. Choose the ULT Wear if bass response and value are your priority, and the WH-1000X series if you want Sony's top-tier ANC performance.
