Sony’s future mid-range headphones can specialize in reaching those low tones

Sony will soon release new mid-range wireless headphones that can deliver bass at the same level as high-end models. At least, that’s where this latest leak comes from industry insider Roland Quandt would have us believe. He recently highlighted what could possibly be the Sony WH-ULT900N headphones, which Quandt claims are the successors to the WH-XB910N.

This information comes from the German tech news site WinFuture, but we’re going to use a translation from NotebookCheck. According to the report, the pair will feature a feature called ‘Ultra Power Sound’, which will give the pair a frequency range spanning from 5Hz to 20kHz.

Having a bottom as low as 5Hz is especially notable because it’s a range close to what you see on high-end headphones like Sony’s WH-1000XM4. NotebookCheck points out that this could allow the WH-ULT900N to produce “more bassy sound than many of its competitors.”

Images in the leak also give us our first look at what the headphones could look like. At a glance, they look similar to the high-end WH-1000XM4, albeit with a few design tweaks. The USB-C ports on the outside of the cups are no longer there, replaced by what appears to be a speaker grille. And the company logo is in a different position.
