Sony ULT Wear

Comfortable and well built with good noise cancelling and long battery life, but the bass is overdone at launch, so most buyers will need to equalise it.

Light, comfortable headphones with better sound, noise cancelling and calling than the predecessor, though bass can get boomy.

Solid mid-range noise-cancelling headphones that sound good once tuned, though the strongest bass mode is overdone and call quality can vary.

Good noise cancelling, comfort and features, but the sound is bass-heavy and lacks finesse and the build feels plasticky.

An owner-reviewer who loves the punchy bass, build quality, noise cancelling and battery.

Intense bass, good noise cancelling for the price and a customisable EQ at a reasonable cost, though the sound is not accurate and the controls are easy to hit by accident.

A comfortable, feature-rich bass-focused headphone with good noise cancelling and long battery, cheaper than Sony's flagship.

A better take on bass boost than past Sony models, with improved noise cancelling and a refined design for the price.

Bass-heavy but comfortable and packed with features, with solid noise cancelling and a good EQ, making it a standout at around $200 for bass lovers.

Great design, comfort and features, but the sound is overbearing and unrefined, and the cheaper WH-CH720N sounds better.

The reviewer found the sound lopsided and bass-obsessed, with the ULT button making it worse.
