Instead, Sony is selling the WH-ULT900N with the product name ‘ULT WEAR’, which is available in Black, Forest Green and Off-White colours.
According to the company’s press release, the ULT WEAR is the start of the new ULT series, which focuses on providing a strong bass response.

Moreover, the ULT WEAR integrates a transparency mode, LDAC support and a capacitive sensor that can detect when you are wearing the headphones.
Unsurprisingly, the ULT Wear also offers active noise cancellation (ANC), gesture controls and works with the Sony Headphones Connect app.
Sony has priced the ULT Wear at €199 in the Eurozone and $199.99 in the US.
