Sony WH-ULT900N Features
With the new “Ultimate Power Sound” technology, the WH-ULT900N are said to offer a better listening experience together with the 40mm drivers with neodymium magnets.
This technology lets users adjust the sound in two stages. This allows them to change the audio output to the listener’s taste, whether they want deep bass or very clear highs.
According to the leak, the “Ultimate Power Sound” technology also widens the frequency range from 5 Hz to 20 kHz. This puts the WH-ULT900N close to Sony’s top WH-1000XM5, which offer bass that beats many competitors.
