Sony's excellent ULT Wear noise-cancelling headphones are still over $100 off at Amazon
SAVE $101.99: As of April 2, the Sony ULT Wear headphones are on sale for just $148 at Amazon. That's 41% off the list price of $249.99.
If you've got expensive taste, but a more moderate budget, the Sony ULT Wear headphones were made for you. And two days after Amazon's Big Spring Sale officially came to a close, they're still on sale for over 40% off.
As of April 2, you can pick up a pair of Sony ULT Wear noise-cancelling headphones at Amazon for just $148 instead of their list price of $249.99. That's over $100 in savings, although not quite their lowest price on record.
Mashable Deputy Shopping Editor Miller Kern tested the ULT Wear headphones when they launched in 2024 and was "genuinely shocked" by how great they were. "We try not to make sweeping claims in our reviews at Mashable," she writes, "but these honestly might be my favorite pair of headphones I’ve tried — especially when you consider the price."
With comparable sound to Sony's flagship headphones and heavy bass that can be bumped up two levels, these noise-cancellers earned the title of Mashable's favorite headphones for bass heads. "The booming sound makes other (decidedly good) headphones sound flat," Kern says.
Admittedly, they are slightly bulky compared to Sony's much more expensive XM6s, but they do fold down for easier portability and come with a carrying case. Not to mention, on sale, the ULT Wears are less than half the price of the XM6s. They're an excellent choice if you want a new pair of noise-cancelling headphones, but you're balling on a budget.
