The ULT Wear Headphones (WH-ULT900NW) arrived on my desk promising powerful sound and impressive battery life, and I’ve spent the last few weeks putting them through their paces. From bustling commutes to quiet evenings at home, I’ve tested these white over-ear headphones extensively to give you a comprehensive review.

The WH-ULT900NW boasts a number of impressive features, starting with their driver unit, specifically designed for deep bass reproduction. This is further enhanced by the Dual Noise Sensor Technology with Integrated Processor V1, promising superior noise cancellation. The inclusion of a capacitive sensor for wearing detection, similar to the acclaimed WH-1000XM5, is a nice touch, automatically pausing music when removed and resuming playback when put back on. Battery life is a standout feature, advertised at 30 hours with noise cancellation on and a remarkable 50 hours with it off. The quick-charge functionality is a lifesaver, offering 5 hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge. Comfort is another key selling point; the smooth earcups and well-designed headband provide a comfortable fit even during extended listening sessions. The foldable and swivel design, along with the included carrying case, adds to the portability.

The sound quality is generally excellent. The bass is indeed deep and impactful, as advertised, without overpowering the mids and highs. I found the noise cancellation to be very effective in reducing ambient noise on my commute, significantly improving my listening experience. The quick-charge feature proved just as advertised; I consistently got around 5 hours of playback after a 10-minute charge. The comfort was also as promised – these headphones were comfortable to wear for hours on end. However, I did notice a slight pressure build-up after extended use, although nothing too significant.

Connectivity via Bluetooth was consistently reliable, with no dropouts during my testing. The wearing detection sensor worked flawlessly, automatically pausing and resuming playback without issue. The call quality was also decent, with the microphone capturing my voice clearly. In terms of battery life, I managed to achieve roughly 28 hours with noise cancellation on – slightly less than advertised, but still very impressive.

Pros:

• Excellent sound quality with deep bass
• Effective noise cancellation
• Impressive battery life (close to advertised)
• Convenient quick-charge functionality
• Comfortable for extended use
• Reliable Bluetooth connectivity
• Smart wearing detection

Cons:

• Slight pressure build-up after prolonged use
• Battery life slightly less than advertised

Overall, the ULT Wear Headphones (WH-ULT900NW) are a fantastic pair of over-ear headphones offering a compelling combination of powerful sound, long battery life, and excellent comfort. While the battery life wasn’t quite as advertised and some might experience slight pressure, these minor drawbacks are easily overshadowed by the overall positive listening experience. I highly recommend the WH-ULT900NW to anyone looking for high-quality wireless headphones with great noise cancellation and impressive battery performance.
