Sony ULT WEAR Noise Cancelling Headphones - Forest Grey | WH-ULT900N

Bass is the organising idea here, and ULT POWER SOUND makes it adjustable rather than fixed: ULT1 emphasises deep bass, ULT2 adds more power, and both can be switched off for a flatter balance. A 40 mm dome driver sits in each cup, working with Sony's Integrated Processor V1 across a 5 Hz to 20,000 Hz frequency response, while active noise cancelling with dual noise sensors holds the outside world at a distance. The Forest Grey finish keeps things understated.

For commuting, the numbers hold up: up to 30 hours with noise cancelling on, rising to 50 hours with it off, and a three-minute charge returning about 90 minutes of playback. LDAC sits alongside SBC and AAC for higher-resolution streaming from compatible devices, multipoint keeps a phone and a laptop connected together, and touch controls manage playback and calls. They fold away for storage, and the Sony Headphones Connect app looks after EQ and settings.
