Our Verdict

Sony WH-CH720N Wireless

Sony ULT WEAR

The Sony WH-CH720N Wireless and the Sony ULT WEAR are ANC-equipped over-ears that cater to different needs and price points. The ULT WEAR are mid-range headphones that can amp up the bass with a press of their 'ULT' button. Their higher price point comes with an improved build quality and better stability. While neither pair is an ideal pick for music production, the ULT WEAR have a boomy, bass-forward sound, while the WH-CH720N (though still bass-heavy) don't have as much low-end on tap. The ULT WEAR also feature LDAC support for high-resolution audio streaming. However, you can tailor both sound profiles to your preferences via the companion app. The main point of departure is with the ANC performance, though, as the ULT WEAR perform much better across the entire frequency range when it comes to attenuating against external noise.
