AirPods are headphones Ideal for Apple usersHowever They are not the only option on the market I also recently bought a few headphones and chose none of the Apple line; I opted for a Sony option that offered everything I needed, partly because of the price and partly because Apple doesn’t offer such a device in its AirPods line.

AirPods lineup has grown significantlywith options for different types of users. AirPods 4, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max are the available options. However, if you are looking for some headband headphones at a reasonable priceYou have no choice in AirPods. AirPods Max are too expensive.

Since that’s what I was mainly looking for, I started by looking at the Beats line of headphones, which is also owned by Apple and shares many of the specs and features with the AirPods. But, I found the perfect option in Sony in terms of quality-price ratio.

This option is none other than the Sony ULT Wear, which my colleague Christian Collado was able to analyze. Its cost is some headphones Less than 200 EurosThey offer very good autonomy, very effective active noise cancellation and excellent sound quality. And all of this at a very attractive price.

Sony ULT Wear is a very interesting option even if you have an Apple ecosystem

Although AirPods offer very clear conveniences for Apple users, the truth is that I didn’t have too many problems with Sony ULT Wear. I paired them quickly and updated them easily from their app. They can also be connected to two devices at the same time, so Switch from iPhone to Mac smoothly and quickly and comfortable. Something that surprised me. If you take them off, the audio will pause just like with the AirPods.

I also really liked it Touch controls available. By swiping up and down on the right earbud we can control the volume. By swiping sideways we will change the song; by tapping once we will stop playback; and I knock on the door twice, We will call Siri. We also have a button to switch between active noise cancellation and ambient sound mode. In addition to the ULT button to boost the bass, a feature that can only be recommended for certain songs.

Offer 40 hour batteryThese are headphones that last very well if you don’t abuse the active noise cancellation. Despite activating it, you’ll have enough energy to last you for long days. It’s also possible to get about 5 hours of autonomy with just 10 minutes of charging. There aren’t many better options at their price.

Certainly, They are not perfect headphones and they have their flaws. The plastic and buttons aren’t of the best quality possible, you can tell they set the price from there. The microphones are also adequate but not the best. They’re also not compatible with Apple Music’s head-tracking spatial audio, although they do support other platforms. But despite these details, I’m very happy with this purchase.
