Sony makes some of the best audio products on the market right now. But the best ones can be expensive, easily costing over $300. If you don't want to spend that much but still want a great pair of headphones, we recommend Sony’s Ult Wear headphones.
They're comfortable, offer great ANC, have good battery life, and are now 48% off their original retail price. Amazon is discounting them down to $130, which is just a couple of dollars above the lowest price that we've seen. Get them now at this price while you can.
Sony gets a lot right here
We've tried the headphones a couple of times, and both times they earned high marks. The Sony Ult Wear headphones look good, keeping things simple so they can blend in with any environment. These headphones are comfortable, so you can use them for long stretches without issues.
You can also fold them down for easy packing. You get touch and physical controls, which is a good mix for optimal use. While the sounds good, it can be a bit bassy, which is something you want to look out for. The good thing is that there are different options so you can find what works for you.
If you want, you can download the companion app to tweak the audio. There's also ANC, which can cancel out the environmental noise around you. It isn't going to be the strongest performer, but it's more than enough to allow you to listen comfortably.
When it comes to battery life, you can expect around 30 hours of use on a single charge. That's a pretty good number, and you can also get 90 minutes of use from a quick three-minute charge if you're ever in a rush.
