Pros

Good for voice and audiobooks as well as music. Noise cancelling is decent - maybe not the best in the market, but good enough for me. The exceptional sound quality with deep bass. The they cost more than bose.

Sony ult wear headphones are absolutely fantastic, superb sound and comfortable to wear. They look and feel and sound premium; just as you'd expect from a brand like sony. The ear pads fold in with no issues or stiffness which is a testament to how we...  Read More

Noise-cancelling is superb. Makes listening more immersive. Long-lasting battery life. Effective noise for immersive listening.



Cons

Faint ringing/staticky sounds when 'noise cancelling' and playing quiet music after just a couple hours of use.

Quality


The sound quality is excellent as expected!


They handle loud, ambient noise quite well, and the sound quality is solid enough for my everyday needs.


Theyre supposed to have a good wind resistance but frankly it was horrible and i turned off the noise cancelling to get rid of it.


These are without doubt the best noise cancelling headphones i've ever owned, it's unreal how much noise disappears when wearing them.

Price


Overall i thoroughly recommend these, yes they're a little pricey but they're so worth it.


10/10overallmy final overall score for these headphones, taking price and performance into account is 8/10 hence my rating of 4 stars.


For this price i was in disbelief.


Theres alot of documentation supplied and alot of subtle hints everywhere to try one of their subscription services which at th...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


Inside the box i'm pleased to report everything looked pristine and all items were present and correct.


Inside the box are the headphones, a hard-shell zip-up carrying/storage case, which also has dedicated spaces for cable storage within.


Unboxingfirst thing i noted was that these sony ult wear headphones arrived in a sealed, albeit *resealed* box (see photos).


Coming in at the mid tier sub £200 mark they open to a pleasant unboxing experiance.

Competitiveness


The sound and mic quality is great and better than the others i have used before.


They are another fantastic product made by sony and are worth every penny in my opinion.


I would only get these over the xm4s if you want more base, and you need more spacious earcups, otherwise, the xm4s are the bet...  Read More

    The most important thing for me is noise cancelling and i originally bought the xm4s but the earcups were too shallow for my ears and got painful after a while

    They have great sound quality but i do feel that you need to adjust the eq for them to sound good they are a bit flat and muted out of the box except for the base they need the treble boosted


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They also have a bit better noise cancelling but more of that cabin pressure feeling which these don’t have


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Problem with the bose is i always have connection instability with them happened on both pairs i’ve owned with occasional crackles and momentary loss of signal but the sony ult wear are rock solid in single or multi point connection they also have better features


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you get these be prepared for the fact that these are massive headphones they really are and you will look slightly comical with them on especially if you have a small head


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Maybe the bose quietcomfort ultras are better if they’ve fixed the connection issues of the lower model but they are out of my price range for now

    It is good for voice and audiobooks as well as music unlike some youth headphones that are tuned for bass and end up very boomy on audiobooks
