SAVE 44%: As of March 11, you can get the Sony ULT Wear headphones for $139.95 on Amazon, down from $249.99. That's a 44% discount or just over $110 in savings.


If you want premium audio without the premium price tag, the Sony ULT Wear headphones are your best bet. When Mashable's Deputy Shopping Editor, Miller Kern, tested them, she wrote that they deliver "$400 sound on a $200 budget." Now that Amazon has dropped the price to $139.95, that value is even harder to ignore.

As of March 11, you can get the Sony ULT Wear headphones for $139.95 on Amazon, down from $249.99. That's a 44% discount or just over $110 in savings.

In her review, Kern noted that she preferred the richer, fuller sound of the ULT Wears to that of her $400 Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones. They easily earned a 4.8/5 rating and a Mashable Choice Award for delivering incredible audio quality without the premium price tag.

"I did a sound test comparison with the Sony WH-1000XM5 and Sony ULT Wear headphones because I know the XM5s have amazing sound quality," writes Kern. "Both headphones sounded crisp and clear, but the ULT Wear’s sound was fuller and felt more like surround sound. And even on the standard setting, the bass sounded richer on the ULTs."

They also feature active noise cancellation, 30 hours of battery life, and a dedicated "ULT" button to punch up the bass. If you want high-end audio but can't afford flagship prices, we recommend grabbing these before they're gone.
