  • The Sony ULT Wear is a new pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones by Sony. It doesn't replace the Sony WH-1000XM5 but is a more affordable option with great ANC, Transparency, mics, and tons of bass. In this review, I compare the Sony WH-ULT900N and WH-1000XM5, provide objective audio tests, and compare the ANC, Transparency, Mics, and Sound from the perspective and experience of an Audio Engineer.

    This makes me feel good about getting the XB910n literally yesterday like new for ~$100. The phone call mics are still bad, and the ANC/Transparency improvements + wearsensor are probably not worth the $200 pricetag. If you're worried about the bassy sound signature, you can fix the sound pretty damn well with an EQ.

    I'm a long time enjoyer of the now quite old Sony h.ear MDR-100ABN which I have loved wearing a LOT working from home for about 6-7 years (I love the cocoon feeling), but they're wearing out now, sadly. I REALLY liked these for the money. So I'm in the market for replacements - going to stick with Sony specifically for their ANC and the comfort vs sound vs money value.
    This is the first I have seen of the new ULT range. Apart from the ULT2 setting (your Honda bass bin analogy is so on point, lol), I think since there's a €150ish difference between the XM5 and the ULT, I'd be happy enough with the latter for sure. From your review, I think the ANC sounds a tad better on the ULT, as does the call quality and also the bass/sound quality with no ULT, and ULT1.
    ULT2 is ridiculous.
    I hope they still have an app to setup the equaliser which looked great on the various other headphones for the past few years!

      Unfortunately, focusing only on the Sennheiser doesn't have enough demand. The new earbuds video is showing that it's not as popular as I was hoping and I have to work through a lot of other videos first that people want and are more likely to succeed.

    Have these and find the sound to be great and very customizable. My GF already wants a pair after trying mine out. I had tried the Sony XM4 a few years ago but found they had too many issues to keep them - mainly a crackling in the right ear issue and too fragile with water. I ended going with the Soundcore QC35 which balance quality with value well but ultimately break and aren't the best at ANC or sound (I went through 2 pairs). These may be just as fragile as the XM4 but are more affordable and currently on sale for $178. The ANC is great. The bass boost is fun. No crackling in the ear other than the leather earcups shifting a bit. I think the earcups look a little ridiculously big and the clamping force is a bit more than im used too. I also think that seal allows the better ANC and possibly more sweating. Overall I think Im going to keep them because they make me excited to listen to my favorite songs and new ones.

    At first glance, the ULT Wear seemed to me more of an alternative upgrade to the WH-1000 XM4's - with the exception of a somewhat downgraded shell, is exactly what I originally wanted the XM5's to be in the first place! Why not continue the foldable design since it was so well done with the previous gen flagship? I may need to get these for work so I can leave my precious M4's at home! 😂

Now recently picked up the WH-1000XM5's and I can confidently say they're a step up from the XM4's and really enjoy using them.

      The better question is whether Sony is addressing the XM5's issues with comfort and sound. The sound felt unbalanced for me. It didn't satisfy me. Also, it hurts me to wear them very quickly on my head. This is why I switched to the Momentum 4 but the Momentum 4 is relatively heavy and I need to use an adapter to get aptX Adaptive on all devices. LDAC has a wider spread.
      And wait a second, Sony released the XM5 last year. The XM4 launched 2020, the XM3 was released in 2018. Why do you assume a release of the XM6 this year?

    The XM4 has a copper logo that looks neat and aesthetically pleasing.

    The ANC test sounded like ULT is performing better in this area. Is that your subjective experience of using them? I really only care about noise cancelling performance and was about to buy the xm4s, but now I’m wondering if these are actually superior for noise cancelling. How would you rank xm5, xm4 and ULT purely in terms of noise cancelling?

    • @VeitLehmann
      @VeitLehmann Місяць тому +1

      Try Sennheisers, I have a Momentum 4, and it has a detailed sound with nice mids for heavy guitars, and slamming bass that doesn't overshadow the other frequencies. Treble is also better than on any Sony and Bose I have ever tested. I think the Accentum (Plus) might also work well, but I haven't listened to them yet.
      I also like B&W PX7 S2, but they have a more laid-back sound. The Momentum 4 are more forward-sounding and better suited for rock/metal imho. But they still handle every other genre really well.

    If you’re gonna get the XM5, it’s definitely money well spent without a doubt. I’ve been using mine for almost a year now, still as good as new, fit and finishing is gold standard. But the new ULT seems pretty good for half the price, getting a Sony headphone is the smartest choice even on IOS.

    I have been using the XM5 for over a year now. I previously owned a JBL E55BT which is much cheaper and i still use it too which is about 7 years old now.
    XM5 to me is a little bit dull sounding because the highs are not crisp comparing to my JBLs. Bass is good but when i watch a movie or something i always go with the JBL because of the clear sharp sounds. I have tried other headphones as well. some anker soundcore stuff and more JBL stuff. I like the sound quality of the XM5 for music but not for podcasts or movies. I would like a little bit more crisper sound from the XM5.
    another thing is i ABSOLUTELY HATE the hinge slider thing. It always slides when its on my neck and every time i put it on i have to re adjust the headband. Just a bad design in my opinion.
    I never experienced a noise cancelling headphones before the XM5, you can still hear stuff but much quieter. If you are playing music then you pretty much dont hear anything else. but i was kinda spoiled with so many reviews saying its the best of the best making me think that it'd make everything dead silent.

    One of the most important things that most ULT reviews (including this one) fails to mention is that the bass levels on the two ULT button options are ADJUSTABLE in the app. I’ve seen so many reviewers talk about how “ULT2 is too much” and the like. Well, you have ULT2 set to +10, then. In the app, you can set it to +1 if you want. It’s all USER DEFINED. The button essentially makes it so you have 2 bass level presets (the way you want them set in the app), available to toggle through via the button. That’s the selling point of this.
    I have the XM4’s and also just picked these up. Honestly, I like these better, for a fraction of the price.
