These headphones are just bang for the bucks!! Im a basic audio enthusiast and an avid music lover.. My personal taste of audio is a mixed one.. I waited so long and after many years Sony ultimately launched this ULT headphone that perfectly fits my taste of music.. I usually prefer only headphones for listening music and watching movies as they completely cover up your ears and drives powerful audio straight to your sealed ears.. That is a different experience than the in ear or TWS ones.. And I definitely need BASS without any compromise on mid section, the highs, sound to be rich, clean with decent stereo staging.. This one satisfies all that.. I do use EQ to tweak settings for my taste and once setup, hell yeah it is just out of the world!! I dont understand why many reviews downplay music quality like mids, highs, crispness, stereo staging etc but this one does all that with that massive bass too!! Either there are headphones with rich audio clarity but lacks on bass or there are the other bassy ones that makes other aspects sound trash.. But this one for me is an all rounder.. Music which has only rich vocals, string sections without much bass lines too sound soo good same as music with immersive bass.. By bass I dont mean just the upper bass which gives you headache but the really low end rumbles extending deeper to sub 20Hz or even less which you can actually feel.. I feel like Im in an IMAX theatre or somewhere straight into the studios after I put this up.. Even for ppl who dont like bass there is an option to completely switch it off.. For me it works wonders with the first ULT mode.. That is damn impressive.. Everyone whom I asked to listen this was just blown away.. I really love it.. I have tried many brands like Sennheiser Momentum plus (diaphragm distortion) even at moderate volume so returned back, then JBL not satisfied with audio quality though had bass, then some new companies like SonicLamb which fakes the bass (No bass less than 40Hz or so but will fake with some artificial vibrations) which I threw to trash.. Finally this is the real and clean one for my budget.. I don't even look into Noise cancelling as I mostly listen music only indoors but this actually does a pretty good job and silences the outer noise by almost half.. Most of the times I don't even need it indoors.. Likewise i rarely make calls with this but that is pretty good as well.. Bluetooth connection and latency is fine for me as I'm not gamer.. Connection is very stable and it can connect two devices at once.. Battery is also pretty good so as the charging time.. If I have to speak about some cons, the headphone always runs with noise cancelling mode on by default even if you toggle it through headphone control.. Ambient noise mode off does not actually turn off, but the mics work even harder to amplify external noises so that you can hear everything around.. Everytime you have to get the app running and set like while detecting as 'Staying' then completely turn off noise cancelling feature.. As a person who is not interested much on this aspect I don't have to put this extra load to the headphone and I have to switch it off manually through the app everytime.. And I also prefer the headphones to be more louder.. Some movies or videos have very low volume and even at highest volume it's not loud enough.. But these are manageable and overall I think Sony really nailed with this headphone..!!
First day experience: product is extremely well built and sturdy. Comfortable to wear for a long period as it weighs only 250gms. Pretty light weight headphones at this price segment. Compatibility: works really well with android flagships. Offers good customizations in sound connect app. Sound: Pretty much impressed by the sound quality and the ULT mode for bass which rattles at perfect EQ modes. Vocals are good. Clarity is good. For this price this is a overall balanced headphones. Go for skullcandy evo crushers 2 for only bass experience. Or else this is more than good as it matches almost everything. Battery: solid battery life as of now. Accessories: sturdy case to carry the headphones. overall a very good product for this price.
Best Wireless headphone you can get in this price no doubt in that. ANC is top notch, can't say better than xm4 but the sound quality and Bass is definitely better than xm4. It is quite comfortable to wear and listen for long session. Sound tuning is on natural side, you can feel it and also it's ambient mode is very good cannot find difference wheather you are wearing or not. In battery life there is no complaint about it. Feature wise it is one it's kind, to get all the features need to install sound connect app from sony, for the record i use vocals preference in Equalizer, the out of box equalization is not great and don't get fooled by youtube review because they only test on default equalization. Does it justify the price? Absolutely!! It is my first premium headphone. I usually thought why spend so much money on expensive headphones where some other chinese or local brands provide same features in way less price until i experience Sony's XM4 , that blew my mind and that concept. I get this headphone at 13k approx. And i don't think there is any better option in this price.
Headphones are genuinely great. I've been a Sony fan since ages, but never have I I ever seen such a sad durable product from their end. The bass is terrific especially after using the boost buttons. It's not over the top but realistically ampliefies the bass experience of any media. I would've loved to give it a 5 star review but I'm really disappointed by the durability after paying a premium price. And no I have never rough handled them, I literally picked them up and heard a cracking sound and there it was..the right side hinge complete undone.
Been using this headphone for over 6 months now. I’ll say as a successor to the XB series this one definitely is a level above. At Ult 2 mode, the increase in bass, even though it’s significant amount of bass, does not make the overall sound mushy or reduces the clarity that you hear when Ult is off. I like it, even heavy metal sounds good with Ult on. I’d say apart from sound, battery is the second most impressive point about this product. I easily get one entire week out of 5-6 hours use daily. The app is good, you have more than enough customisation capabilities. The hard case is of good quality, this headphone is not at all compact by any means, so the storage method is twisting it to a very specific position to get it inside the case, which can be tricky and might even break the stems as this is a all plastic product, but overall the case is smaller due to that reason and no issue, you’ll get the hang of it after a week. I use the audio jack when using with playstation, just plug it into the controller 3.5 mm port and sound is really good with fit that is comfortable for hours of gaming, that does not consume headphone battery as well. ANC is like 8/10 quality, but I guess someone who hasn’t used apple airpods pro gen 2 before can easily say this is a great headphone with ANC considering its a headphone and not a earphone. I use transparency/ambient mode mostly, which is a solid 10! You can even control how much amount of outside noise you’ll want to pass on to your ears from the app, which you can’t in apple.

Sound quality is excellent with a typical Sony tuning. Noise cancelling and transparency mode are very good, close to flagship-level performance (around 80% of XM4/XM5). The Sony app offers plenty of customization, which is a big plus. The ULT button is amazing. Bass hits really hard and adds a fun, powerful punch. Battery life is solid too. With 2–3 hours of daily use and ANC on, it easily lasts almost a week. The only downside is portability. The headphones don’t fold and the case is quite big, so carrying them around isn’t very convenient. Overall, a well-balanced pair of headphones. I got them for ₹12,000 in a sale, and at this price, they are totally worth it. Highly recommended if you find them around this range.
Very good ANC, cuts 90% of your surroundings, the bass is deep, and super deep on ULT 2 setting, maybe too much for many but is a good option if you want is there. Battery life is good. One downside , the headphones clamps pretty tight, so not as comfortable like Bose, but maybe a personal thing. The sound is great. UPDATE: after a couple of weeks usage PROS battery life I exceeded 30h with ANC on. bass very strong, ULT has 2 levels I'm using only level1 which is more than enough, no distortion even on L2 Never experienced lost connection ANC very good, cuts 80-90% of surroundings, including plane engine rumble, great for traveling, but a bit bulky. ANC passtrhu for calls is great, you can hear your voice when talking and you won't be screaming thinking the caller does not hear you. CONS The clamping of the headphones is stronger than expected, it helps with the noise canceling but it can create wearing fatique They can become hot after a while.
Melhor headphone que já tive, valeu cada centavo!
I used it for 1.5 years. Last week its hinge broke. I didn't got expected support from the service centre after following up for a week. They gave two options. First to replace the entire head band which would cost 11K. Second, to get the new one with some discount from Sony which would take another 8-10 days. I don't have any complains regarding product features, best noise cancellation in its segment, good bass, sound quality is perfect. The build quality is not good which the service centre people admitted and mentioned that Sony is working on it. Some reviews I came across where people mentioned same issue across Amazon and Flipkart. One of the reviews mentioned that Sony is selling refurbished products to Indian customers, not sure how much truth in it. If you are really hoing to buy, go for additional warranty apart from brand warranty whohc some people say is the best way to go since the replacements are very costly.
XM5 Level of Noise Cancellation, it works like a charm, you cant even hear person next to you, but dont worry, ambient mode got you, its whole different thing, its like your ears got superpower. Bass is unmatched, the bass youre looking for is here. The Case feels premium, Headphones itself are very premium, Multi point connectivity is sooo smooth. Gestures work great without any delay, you dont need to swipe your fingers hard, it works with soft touches. My Advice - Play with Equalizer on Sound connect app, and make a perfect sound for you. I have big ears still it covers my ears perfectly, feels extremely comfortable. I have seen many reviews with hinge issue, still i took risk, and gonna handle these headphones with extreme care (well it depends on how you keep it) I trust Sony! You can never go wrong with these headphones. Headphones are quite big, yet doesnt feel heavy on head. The case is also quite big, so its gonna take good space in your bag. Got these at very good deal (below 10k)
Melhor headphone que já tive, valeu cada centavo!
Sim incrível pra quem gosta de batidas fortes. Boa qualidade de som e cancelamento de ruído muito bom tbm. Testei quase todos os fones do mercado top de linha, (jbl one tour e tbm o pro 3 , somy xm5, anker space one pro e o anker q30)e esse foi o de longe o q mais me agradou em relação a batidas fortes. Recomendo demais pra quem quer bass forte.
I bought this product as a gift for a friend. I hope he love it as I do! I opened the box and I tried it with a Playlist and the sound is exactly as I expected, I'm a SONY guy forever and always I owned SONY devices for music and televisions and this quality is the best always. Value for money: The product is well priced, plus I got it in a very good offer also. Noise cancelation: This modern characteristic in music devices is amazing, so the sound is super clear. Cord length: I don't like the length of the charger cable but is the same port from cellphones and other devices, so charging it isn't a problem. Ease of use: Without words, can't be more easy to use this device. I love the sensor to operate the earphone. ULT Bass: This is why I bought this one, because reading about this model I saw good reviews about Bass quality and really is true 100%, the Bass sound is more than amazing. The size is Ok, and fit very well on me. Battery Life: This is the only thing I'm missing to test, but I hope will be OK. Always I will recommend products Sony! 5 stars.

I absolutely love these headphones for daily use. The overall audio quality is phenomenal, especially the deep bass when playing hip-hop. The matte color gives them a very sleek, premium look. Despite their large, over-ear size which provides great noise cancellation, the weight is incredibly light-I can wear them through college lectures, coding sessions, and my gym workouts without any discomfort. The battery life is also fantastic and easily lasts for days. My only minor gripe is with the connectivity; multipoint is hit-or-miss, and it can be annoying when they don't switch devices automatically between my phone and PC. Still, an easy 5 stars for the sound alone.

Writing review after review a full year of use. Amazing product when it comes to sound quality. As I have small head it fits perfectly. I feel this to be better than other over the ear headphones. A bit on bulky side. If a reason for purchase is music with good noise cancellation you can go for it. Not good in terms to attend meeting and taking calls until you are too loud to speak. Overall a good product at discounted price. I bought it for 12K in Big Billion day sales.
The Sony ULT WEAR Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones have completely elevated my listening experience. The sound quality is phenomenal, with deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. Whether I’m listening to music, watching movies, or taking calls, the audio is immersive and detailed. The noise cancellation is top-notch. It blocks out everything from background chatter to city noise, making these headphones perfect for work or travel. I also love the ambient sound mode, which lets me stay aware of my surroundings when needed. Comfort is another highlight. The lightweight design and plush earcups make them comfortable for hours of wear. The earcups are pleather, so my ears do get warm after wearing them for a while. Battery life is impressive, lasting all day on a single charge. The touch controls are intuitive and responsive, making it easy to adjust settings on the go. Overall, these headphones are worth every penny. Sony has truly delivered an outstanding product!

Overall great product. If you're a bass lover you would love this. In the sound connect app you can adjust bass levels for each ULT "mode" to suit your preferences. It does get to a point where if the bass is set high enough it drowns the rest of the sound out, but some people might like that. The sound quality itself is comparable to my Sony XM5 earbuds which were double the price of this pair. No issues with connectivity, it will pair automatically to devices. You can also control the volume or play/pause on the right ear with your finger. Quite comfortable as well, there is plenty of adjustments you can make to fit your head. Its also a light set of headphones, it doesn't feel cheap though, so it doesn't feel like wearing a helmet compared to other headphones. Transparency mode and noise cancellation are also top notch. Both equally better than my Airpod Pro's and Sony XM5's.

Los audífonos son simpmemente escepcionales!! Tenía mis dudas en comprarlos pero me ayudé de varios reviews en youtube y realmente muchos si no es que todos comentaban que eran de los mejores del mercado al momento, sobre todo en costo/beneficio es un equilibrio muy balanceado, si bien comentan que tanto de la marca misma como de otras hay mejores audífonos, estos no juegan nada mal y realmente compiten con varios modelos de costos mayores... Sin duda muy recomendables!!! Ahor bien en cuanto al producto, anteriormente tenía usaba unos WH-CH520, el audio es bueno, pero los bajos son cortos ya que es un aspecto que no cubren los audifonos sin embargios los medios y agudos son bastante buenos, pero con estos ULT, los medios y los agudos se oyen cristalinos y los bajos ni se diga sobre todo con el modo ULT1, es el balance perfecto del bass, ya que por un amigo he usado unos crusher y los bajos ahí son brutales llegando casi al límite donde se sienten molestos (en mis gustos personales claro) estos el bajo no es tan alucinante como en ellos, sin embargo, los siento más firmes, más definidos!!! En cuanto a la cancelación de audio, es muy buena, si bien no es perfecta si disminuye el ruido exterior considerablemente y si a esto le sumamos el buen nivel de volumen que tiene, no tendrás problema en perderte en tu música un rato estés donde estés, por otro lado el modo ambiente es de lo mejor que he escuchado, se escucha prácticamente igual que si no los llevaras puestos es excelente!!! Y en cuanto a la comodidad, la verdad es que si son algo pesados a comparación de algunos otros modelos que he tenido, sin embargo al ser supraurales y tener un buen acolchamiento en las almohadillas, no se sienten tanto, lo que si es que se sienten muy abrigadores y en mi caso particular si me hacen sudar un poco, cosa que soluciono con un ventilador personal de escritorio ya que los uso principalmente para trabajar En términos generales son perfectos, considerando, costo/beneficios, calidad de audio y calidad de construcción ya que aparte de todo, Sony argumenta que la construcción de estos audífonos es con plásticos reciclados así aparte de todo apoyamos al planeta
