On Sale Sony ULT Wear.

The first thing you need to know is that the Sony WH-1000XM6 are now out. If that’s news to you, go read our WH-1000XM6 review right now. They’re a contender to usurp their predecessor, the WH-1000XM5, at the top of the nearly everyone’s list of the best headphones after we’ve had more time to sit with them and evaluate them. It should come as no surprise that the XM5 are on sale at the moment. However, it’s also worth noting that their release has also prompted the less-discussed Sony ULT Wear headphones to go on sale.

The Sony ULT Wear are great headphones in their own right, making it on our list of the best noise-cancelling headphones for their ANC and excellent bass. You can get your Sony ULT Wear now for just $148 at Amazon, down $52 from their usual $200. Alternatively, you can grab them for $150 at Sony or Walmart, if you prefer those vendors. In any event, tap the appropriate button to pick up these headphones now — the sale will probably go away when the XM6 release fanfare dies down — and keep reading to see why we like them so much.

Why you should buy the Sony ULT Wear

Again, the Sony ULT Wear don’t necessarily get the press and attention you might expect given how good they are. In a world where Beats don’t (necessarily) have the same reputation for heavy bass that they once did, the bass lovers have to go somewhere, after all. Our Sony ULT Wear review compares the bass output of these headphones not only as comparable to other bass-heavy headphones, but to literal earthquakes. There’s even a Bass Boost mode that pushes the headphones to put out as much bass as they possibly can. Finally, they have a very classic Sony design, to the point where a quick amateur sketch of the ULT Wear would look nearly indistinguishable from that of the XM5 or XM6. In other words, these are comfortable, well-designed headphones that should prove quite comfortable to your head and ears.

Get the Sony ULT Wear now and save at least $50 by tapping the appropriate button below. Remember, the Sony ULT Wear are usually $200, so this deal allows you to get them for around $150. Still not interested but definitely want headphones? Check out more headphones deals to get something more your style.

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
