Great for the average music listener!

This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The headphones look nice and overall discreet; not too flashy. The plastic material used on the outside of the headphones as well as the earmuff material has held up very well after around 6 months of frequent use. The earmuffs themselves are very comfortable and cover my ears nicely and provide a good, secure, fit where I don’t have to worry about them falling off if moving around or bending over briefly. Battery life is also excellent, I charge them about once a week if that, although in my use case I typically keep them on max 5 hours at a time, with them being used most days of the week. Your battery life may vary of course depending on your usage. The provided app is nice as it gives access to settings, updates, as well as different EQ settings. I only messed around with the app a few times but don’t really ever use it, but that’s just me. The noise cancellation and transparency features are very nice and well made, transparency mode is very good and is better than my gen 1 AirPods Pros. Noise cancellation is also very good as well and blocks out most noise. Both of these settings are also nicely controlled via a button on the left earmuff (there is a setting for automatic switching which I personally shut off as I found it irritating). There’s also a special mode which is essentially a bass booster mode that’s controlled via a big button on the left earmuff with auditory queues that amplifies the bass nicely. The right earmuff also features a touch pad for gesture-based controls that allow for up/down for volume, skip or repeat track, and can even go forward or backwards in a song. It works pretty good and is convenient!! You can even tap and hold to activate Siri which I imagine would also activate Google Assistant on an Android. As for sound quality I am not an audiophile and am an average consumer when it comes to music but these headphones fit my listening needs perfectly. The sound is very clear and high quality to my ears and as someone who personally enjoys more bass these headphones are perfect for that. The very few negatives I have are I’ve noticed recently that if I rapidly tap down or up my phone’s volume buttons there will be a slight delay in response with the headphones and a few times the headphones will adjust the volume more than the clicks implied; however this could just be a phone/operating system thing rather than the headphones themselves. Another issue I had was with the automatic transparency/noise cancelling switching…I just found it annoying and would switch it to transparency only for it to shortly switch back to noise cancellation. There was also another very odd bug and annoyance that began a few months ago but has since not occurred in about a couple months where the headphones would randomly completely disconnect abruptly without the disconnecting sound playing. It was quite frustrating and my theory is possibly some interference when my Apple Watch would get close to the left earmuff. Whatever caused the issue has since not occurred. Another added unintentional bonus is that wearing these even while not listening to anything provides a nice soothing/calming feeling, good for those who struggle with anxiety or mental health issues. Overall I would absolutely recommend purchasing these!!! As an average audio/music consumer these are perfect for me and the price was very well worth it.

Excelentes!!!

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

Detailed response, I love them

I love these headphones very much. Not too heavy, but very comfortable and big. The sound is above average on normal EQ modes. Nothing extraordinary but is still on the upper end. The bass can be very powerful and some might need to switch between sound profiles depending on genre. Neutral equalizer is good for everything. Bassy profiles are good for everything but muddy songs they don't make great use of sub bass. Their Bluetooth signal is very good. Battery life is Great. I bought these a month or two ago and I've only charged them once hahah They are loud but not overly so. I'd imagine some people might wish it was louder for really quiet songs or videos. But I'm 100% satisfied Weird thing, the bass is noticeably less powerful when not on noise cancelling mode. I've heard mixed experiences on this so it might be a bug some of them have. They take some time dialing in on the apps equalizer. I'll tell you what I mean. It has bass modes: off, ult 1, ult 2 Off is quite balanced, if not a little bit weak on bass. Ult 1, the perfect mode. This one is strong without causing too much sustained bass that ruins the natural decay of bass samples/synths. This keeps it thumpy and relatively accurate. I have three profiles for ult 1: -2 bass, +4 bass, and +10 bass. I had to have a weaker one for super strong bass in mixes Ult 2, this one overcharges the bass so far into the driver that the decay is a lot slower. This creates an over-compressed and muddy bass. Sometimes creates distortion which is awful for music enthusiasts. It is without a doubt the strongest bass I've ever heard in headphones My eq for regular music is the balanced one. My eq for bassy music is dropping the mid a little, dropping high frequencies a lot. It allow me to have max volume bass without compression or hurting my ears

The BEST headphones I own!!

I've been a fan of Sony headphones for many years, as the pairs I've purchased (even the cheap ones) over the years always have the sound quality I look for in headphones. I was looking at these for quite a while as I was sure I wanted to purchase them, but wanted to wait for a lower price. They finally came down in price, and I added them to my cart. Best decision I made!! These headphones have a full, rich bass sound, and fit very comfortably over my ears (other headphones from other brands I tried were way too tight, but not these!). They also connect easily to all of my Bluetooth devices and have a noise cancellation feature that you can turn on or off. Battery life is amazing, too. I'll listen to music for hours and still have plenty of battery left. The only downside is I wish they were just a little louder, but that also depends on the source you're using for audio. Overall, I am super happy with these. If you're looking for a high-quality pair of headphones I would highly recommend these Sony ULT headphones!!
