The WH-1000XM6 are here, so a lesser discussed pair of Sony headphones are $50 off

On Sale Sony ULT Wear.
Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

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.
