'Sony headphones cuy by £80 are the best price and quality - I wear them every day'

As someone who loves to listen to music, a quality pair of headphones is essential for comfort and quality. When my Bose headphones started to tire after five years, I bought a cheaper Sony pair, and they are my best buy to date.

Known for its quality, a flagship pair of Sony headphones can cost as much as £399 for the newest WH-1000XM6, a set best known for its noise-cancelling, but the price isn't for everyone. Which is where my favourite everyday pair come in, the Sony ULT Wear - and they're less than £100.

Dropping in price at Amazon, the pair are now on sale for £99, that's £80 cheaper than its previous £179.99 price. Despite having fewer specs than their superior sibling, the WH-1000XM6 - the ULT Wear offers a lot for the price, and I wear them every day.

A reliable pair of headphones with a portable - and importantly comfortable - design, and decent noice-cancelling features. I've previously raved about the headphones' foldable feature and accompanying travel case, as it makes them a go-to for travelling.

The only thing to note is that they are bulky compared to my old Bose Quiet Comfort pair from 2017. The standout feature of the Sony ULT Wear, at least for me, is the superb bass.

Sony ULT Headphones

The Sony ULT Wear Headphones offer quality audio for less than £100.

It really brings out the lower tones in the bass, making them louder and more pronounced. Of course, this depends on your musical tastes. Bass is perfect for hip hop and electronic music, and these Sony headphones will definitely crank it up a notch.

Other brands which offer superb bass include Bose with its Quiet Comfort Ultra pair, now £299.95. They also have an adjustable EQ so wearers can change the volume of specific frequencies of the music or sound. Alternatively, Soundcore also off superb bass with its cheaper AnkerQ30 Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones, now £79.99.

You can toggle this feature on and off with a simple click of the clearly marked ULT button. There's also an Ambient Sound Mode, activated by pressing the smaller NC/AMB button on the left side.

This lets in subtle sounds from your surroundings, which I find handy when I'm out and about and want to stay aware of traffic and people. If you're in a situation where you want pure, undisturbed sound (and just the music), you can press it again to shut out any distractions - a feature I often use on flights.
