Sony ULT WEAR Wireless Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones - Off White
Powerful sound. Make it your own.
With exceptional bass and improved Noise Cancelling, our new ULT WEAR headphones let you bring your favourite festival or club feel with you, everywhere you go.
Massive Bass. Ultimate Vibe.
Feel like you've dived into the front row of the concert, and turn the moment on with the ULT POWER SOUND series. Built for music lovers, it produces powerful deep sound designed to make your heart tremble. Prepare to feel the bass.
Live the experience with your sound sanctuary
Press the ULT button for powerful sound, thanks to the specially designed 40 mm driver unit and Integrated Processor V1. Enjoy precise, punchy, high-quality sound that gets you as close to the original recording as possible.
Hit the button. Feel the bass.
Select from two different types of bass-emphasised sound: ULT1 for deep, low-frequency bass, or ULT2 to experience powerful and groovy bass.
Reproducing authentic sound
When an original music source is compressed, it loses the high-frequency elements that add detail and richness to a track. Our Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE™) faithfully restores these to produce high-quality sound that's closer to the original recording.
Your sound, just how you like it
Tailor sound to your personal preference. Choose from a variety of pre-sets to match sound quality with the genre of music you're listening to. Or create and save your own using the equaliser feature on the Sony¦Headphones Connect app*.
*The image shown is an example in the app, the actual menu may differ by the model/countries and or region.
Head tracking function
With compatible smartphones and services*, head tracking creates a realistic and compelling listening experience by automatically adjusting sound fields to compensate for your head movement. Sounds are precisely aligned with your smartphone screen, even as you move, to completely involve you in your viewing.
*You can experience spatial sound content (like Netflix, YouTube) with Android 13 smartphones capable of head tracking. Also, you can experience 360 Reality Audio content with Xperia 1 V on 360 Reality Audio Live app, such as nugs.net or TIDAL. Some services may not be available in certain countries/regions.
Conventional use
With conventional headphones, when your head moves, the sound moves with the headphones. This disconnects the sound from its position in space, impairing the 3D effect and presence.
With head-tracking capability
With head tracking, when you move your head, the sound field retains its original position in 3D space - for a realistic viewing and listening experience.
Certified headphones for a personalised experience
With 360 Reality Audio certified headphones and the Sony | Headphones Connect app, optimise your experience by analysing your individual ear shape, and enjoy the ultimate immersive music experience*.
*The same experience as the headphones (shown in picture) is available.
360 Spatial Sound Personalizer
With the Sony | 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer app*, you'll enjoy a sound experience that's optimised for you. The app captures and analyses your ear shape, allowing these headphones to create your own personal spatial sound field when paired with BRAVIA XR™ TVs**.
*Sony | 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer is an app that personalises your sound experience when connected to a BRAVIA XR TV.
**Firmware update available by Jan 2022 and is required to enjoy 360 Spatial Sound on BRAVIA XR. Network connection required for firmware update of BRAVIA XR.

Dolby Atmos® Experience
With a Sony WLA-NS7 wireless transmitter connected to a BRAVIA XR™ TV, your headphones create the ideal arrangement of phantom speakers all around you so you can enjoy a Dolby Atmos experience. Be immersed in the scene and feel right at the heart of the action*.
*Sony | Headphones Connect app is needed. Requires subscription to a music streaming service - subscription fees apply. Some services may not be available in certain countries/regions.
Unleash the power. Just you and your music.
With Dual Noise Sensor technology and the Integrated Processor V1, ULT WEAR takes digital Noise Cancelling to the next level. Now you can truly shut out the world and enjoy a party for one - just you and your music.
More music, less background
With two microphones in each earcup and Dual Noise Sensor technology to capture ambient sound, you can block outside noise everywhere you go, so the only thing you hear is your music.
Listen smarter
The Integrated Processor V1 helps to eliminate external sound, with a low processing delay to make the Noise Cancelling more effective than ever.
Keep the wind quiet
The Wind Noise Reduction Structure around the mic reduces background noise for you, and keeps your conversations and music clear and uninterrupted.
More natural ambient sound
In Ambient Sound mode, the ULT WEAR headphones allow in more ambient sound, thanks to precision feedforward and feedback mics, so you can enjoy a natural listening experience while staying connected to your environment. Plus, the Sony | Headphones Connect app allows you to adjust the ambient sound in 20 levels, or use the Focus on Voice setting to chat without removing your headphones.
Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to whatever you do
Adaptive Sound Control is a smart function that senses where you are and what you're doing, then adjusts ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience. It even recognises locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace, the gym, or a favourite café, and switches the sound modes to suit the situation.
Superb sound, refined design
The ULT WEAR is designed to fit your style. Cool, comfortable, and built for powerful, high-quality sound.
Designed for sound
The ULT WEAR's stylish design is both functional and great looking. The mechanical structure is designed to insulate your audio from the outside world, for premium listening and clear voice calls, even in noisy environments.
A perfect fit keeps your music in
The smooth cushions use a unique thermo-foaming process, for reduced wrinkles and a more balanced clamping force, delivering wearability and exceptional acoustic performance.
Foldable design for everyday convenience
The ear cups swivel inwards so they pack up neatly in their compact case.
Carry case for easy travelling
The supplied carry case is durable and includes a cable for wired listening.
Stay powered up
With up to 30 hours* of battery life, you'll have enough power to keep listening all day and into the night. And if you need to top up in a hurry, a 3-minute quick charge will give you up to 90 minutes extra play time.
Battery life is up to 50 hours with Noise Cancelling off.
*When connecting via Bluetooth®, battery life is up to 30 hours for music playback usage when DSEE is turned off and codec is AAC, up to 30 hours for communication time usage. Please note usage hours may be shorter depending on the Codec and the conditions of use.
Made to move with you
The ULT WEAR exudes function, form and features. A sensor pauses your music when you take them off and starts again when you put them on, and Bluetooth® pairs with two devices at the same time. Ideal for everyday use.
Instant pause. Instant play.
Just take the headphones off and the music stops - a capacitive sensor knows when you are wearing them. It also helps improve detection accuracy and design. Put the headphones back on and the music starts again.
Crystal-clear conversations
With Precise Voice Pickup Technology, a Wind Noise Reduction Structure, and beamforming mics to pick up your voice, you will enjoy clearer calls and better conversations.
Multipoint connection
For total convenience, these Bluetooth® headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connects to the right one automatically.
