Sony ULT Wear problems

“If you end up getting one of the older models, they developed cracks over time, just the act of taking them on and off, folding and unfolding them, and lengthening and shortening the adjustable frame puts enough stress on the thin plastic…”

“Keep in mind that the XM4 headphones are now four years old. And in terms of specs and features, it is still a little better than the ULT Wear.”

“Despite the weight, you would think that, you know, it feels pretty sturdy and hefty in the hand. It doesn't. It feels kind of cheap.”

“With the Ultwear, you have kind of a generic hard plastic finish compared to a very smooth soft matte finish on the XM5.”

“while they weigh right about the same as the XM5s at 250 grams they lack the more premium unlook and feel of the XM5s”

“I do like the leather, not as soft as the XM5s... the XM5s feel a little bit more premium”

“The only downside is that the fake leather can heat up your ears a little bit like it can get a little bit warm if you're wearing it for an extended period of time.”

“However, since the ear pads on the ULT Wear have more padding in them than the ear pads on the XM6s, the ULT Wear can heat up a faster than the XM6s ear pads.”

“Users with larger heads might experience a bit of fatigue over time as a result.”

“So yeah, O headphones, I'm not going to lie, I'm a little underwhelmed, but at the same time though I'm still going to have to go and test these things 'cause $200 I am not sure where I stand on that yet.”

“but these are like $200 cheaper so of course the quality is not going to be as good as those”

“out of the box when I just put them straight on my head and just started listening to music I wasn't very impressed I don't like the way that these are tuned out of the box... I felt like it was a little too warm a little too kind of…”

“I got to admit, out of the box, I wasn't super impressed with the overall sound quality. I thought there was a little bit of a dull kind of sound and that the overall sound stage and separation of instruments seemed kind of muddied”

“Out of the box they did not blow me away or give me that undeniable base that I've heard everybody rave about even when I put them in ULT2 mode”

“So the ULT Wears, they were very heavy on the bass. ULT1 had a good amount of bass, but ULT2 I felt like was a little too much bass for me.”

“Unfortunately it's not color matched... and also the cables are also not color matched”

“the con I have about these headphones and that is the adaptive sound mode. But I will state that these things are very dangerous to have with that switched on.”

“what thing I don't like too much is that it produces a little bit of white noise.”
