Sony ULT WEAR Bass Noise Cancelling Headphones — Hit the ULT Button and Feel It in Your Chest! $173 CAD (51% Off)

Amazon.ca has the Sony ULT WEAR over-ear noise cancelling headphones in black at $173 CAD (list $349.99, 51% off). Free shipping for Prime members; otherwise free over $35.

The pitch is in the name: there's a ULT button on the earcup. Press once for more bass, twice for a lot more. A 40 mm driver paired with dual ANC mics and the V1 processor makes hip-hop, electronic and soundtracks hit properly. Turn it off and you get Sony's usual warm-leaning tuning.

The noise cancelling borrows from the 1000X line — one owner reckons it cuts about 90% of what's around you. At 255 g with thermo-foaming cushions that mould to your ears, it's softer against the head than older models, and the swivel-fold design plus hard case means it packs flat in a carry-on. 30-hour battery, 3 minutes of charging for 90 minutes of playback, auto pause when you take them off, and two devices connected at once.

Things to know before you buy: the clamping force is on the tight side, so larger heads will feel it after a couple of hours; no water resistance; and one reviewer reports a plastic failure at the headband joint, so fold them into the case rather than yanking them by one cup.

4,141 reviews at 4.0 stars — the marks come mostly from clamp pressure and that one structural complaint, while sound and ANC score well. A former WH-1000XM3 owner says the upgrade is obvious, and someone who worried the bass would be too much found it well balanced with ULT off. At $349.99 it's steep; at $173 it's better value than the CH line at the same money.
