Earlier this spring, Sony launched its latest pair of headphones, The Sony Ult Wear. If you were convinced by the praises we sung back in our hands-on review but have been waiting for a discount, then you’ll be happy to hear that now you can finally score one of the best Sony headphones for less.
The new Sony Ult Wear comes in one of two different styles that both feature a lightweight design. Joining the rest of today’s deals, you can drop the headphones down to $178 from the usual $200 going rate courtesy of its very first price cut from Amazon.
Sony just launched its new Underscored-approved Ult Wear Headphones earlier this spring, and now the first discount is here. Booming bass and solid ANC were just two of the highlights that make these worth a closer look.
The story with Sony’s latest begins with the new sound modes that earn the Ult Wear its name. A dedicated button on the side lets you switch between the standard listening experience and an even more bass-focused tuning. Throw in active noise cancellation, the latest Bluetooth specs and 30 hours of playback on a single charge, and you’re looking at a pair of headphones that we easily recommended at their MSRP, let alone with any savings attached.
All that comes baked into an over-ear form factor that allows these headphones to comfortably rest on top of your head, thanks to the adjustable design. There are padded ear pads and a cushiony top strap for good measure too. They can also fold up to store away when you’re not rocking out.
If you want the full scoop on what to expect from Sony’s new midrange headphones, we previously took a hands-on look in our review back at launch to see just how these stack up. I’ve also used them myself personally and can vouch for just how good a pair of headphones you’re getting for the price with today’s Amazon offer attached.
