Deal | Bass-heavy Sony ULT Wear noise-cancelling headphones discounted to lowest-ever price on Amazon

Sony's ULT Wear over-ear headphones feature sound that is squarely targeted at bassheads. Thanks to an ongoing sale on Amazon, the ULT Wear headphones can now be purchased for their lowest-ever price, at just $148 on the platform.

Before we dive into sound quality, let us have a glance at a few notable details of the Sony ULT Wear headset. Sony claims a 44-hour battery life, which is plenty decent, and the headset comes with a carrying case that is sturdy enough. As can be expected from Sony, the ANC performance is impressive, and the headset also sports LDAC support along with Bluetooth multi-point.

Now let's address the controversial bit - sound quality. For bass lovers, the ULT Wear promises an excellent experience. The lows are often overemphasized, and the bassline demonstrates a tendency to lean towards being "boomy and bloated", according to RTINGS' findings. The mid-range is alright, while the treble is unsurprisingly poor. In conclusion, those who desire bass at all costs will be plenty pleased with the headset. But those who want a neutral sound profile? Prepare to be sorely disappointed.

Gamers who want to feel the bass in intense scenes will be pleased to note that the ULT Wear headphones come with a nearly 50-inch 1/8" TRS cable, delivering extremely low latencies when gaming. However, the microphone cannot be used in this mode, which happens to be pretty decent otherwise. The headphones are relatively comfortable, but wearers are recommended to be mindful of the somewhat noticeable sound leakage.

All in all, the Sony ULT Wear has a single demographic in sight - bassheads. Those who fit the category will be perfectly pleased, and those who don't will be better off with something like the Sennheiser Accentum wireless headphones available for $149.95 on Amazon as of this writing.
