First Sony ULT Wear Headphones Aim to Deliver Premium Sound Without High-end Price

Sony ULT Wear headphones lineup has got its very first entry, the Sony WH-ULT900N. At first glance, you may confuse the pair with the super-premium Sony WH-1000XM5, but the new model isn’t even closely priced at that high-end pair. As a matter of fact, the WH-ULT900N is the successor to the WH-XB910N, a very popular pair of affordable headphones.

To be specific, the new ULT Wear headphones are priced at $199.99 in the US. In comparison, the premium Sony WH-1000XM5 launched at $399. But don’t let the affordable price tag of the WH-ULT900N fool you because it’s packed with high-end hardware.

The New Sony ULT Wear Headphones Is More About High-end Sound at an Affordable Price Tag

Under the hood, the new Sony WH-ULT900N wireless headphones come with 40 mm neodymium drivers. These are geared to offer a frequency response from 5 Hz to 20 KHz. Thanks to Sony’s tuning, you expect a detailed sound output throughout the entire range. Of course, the drivers lean more towards the bass, which is not unexpected as the predecessors leaned towards the same thing.
