Sony WH-CH720N Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones, Ambient Sound Mode, Lightweight Design, up to 50 hr battery life, iOS & Android - Blue

Good fit, comfy, decent noise suppression. Sound quality is good to me but I'm no audiophile. They are light weight, battery life good with hours of gaming and music, no issues. Good value for money and better than my JLC I had previously.

Very decent overall. Recommend for casual listening and commuting. No sound leakage out whilst wearing them. Normal ambient noise not heard when actively listening - yet to try them on a train/plane. Wireless sound was really good. Very quick charge time. Fit my ears perfectly. Very, very comfortable for me. If you have large ears, like King Charles, they might not fit as well! I am very pleased with this purchase indeed. Good headphones for a decent price.

Sound quality is amazing, doesn't have the issue of loosing clarity at higher volumes. Very lightweight and good for long usage times, and the bluetooth connection is alright since you don't loose connection when walking around the room without your phone. Lovely headphones.Noise cancelling isn't perfect when not listening to music but works very well with sound even at lower volumes, would be nice to block sound without music but very good for the price of these.

I purchased these Sony WH-CH720N noise cancellation headphones after reading a favourable review in What Hi-Fi magazine. They are good value for money, lightweight and comfortable to wear, and have a decent headband adjustment. But they can make your ears hot if it’s a warm day, and do slip a little if you are exercising.The active noise cancelling (ANC) is good, I don’t think it’s quite as good as the cheaper Anker Q20is which we also have (this could be due to the Anker’s much more padded cups). Also, when wearing glasses I do find the sides of the frames break the ear-cup seal a little over the ear, leading to a slight loss of perfect ANC, without glasses they are spot on. This isn’t so prevalent on the Anker’s as they have a much thicker foam cup.However, the sound quality (when ANC is on) is excellent: superb for both music, podcasts and audiobooks. No other in-ear headphones we own from Apple or Sony come close, and it’s noticeably better than the Anker’s sound. It’s not as good with ANC off, sounding a bit flat, but I always use them with ANC on. I’ve ended up using them much more than anticipated as the sound quality is so good. With high-bit rate MP3s or uncompressed music there is real detail which you’d miss with cheaper headphones.I bought these for two main tasks: to reduce the noise when mowing a large lawn, and for flights – and they’ve been great for both situations. These headphones make aircraft journeys a much more pleasant experience, once you are used to the ANC, it’s easy to forget just how loud the engine noise is in the cabin, taking them off for a few seconds is a good reminder!You don’t have to listen to anything via Bluetooth to use the ANC feature either, so if you just want some peace and quiet, they’ll fulfil that requirement too.If you’ve never used ANC headphones before, it’s important to point out that they don’t make loud situations silent (or virtually silent, unless you are spending thousands on a Bose Aviation headset) - be it in an aircraft or anywhere else with loud drone type noises - but they do reduce a fair proportion of the noise. They more you pay, the better the ANC.The left side features an on-off button which, when clicked, reads out the current battery charge remaining; also this side has the USB-C charging socket and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The right side has a button for the NC modes, then a trio of buttons for volume up, down and select which can be used to play/pause music and answer calls. The buttons are fairly basic and feel quite cheap, but have the basics covered.It’s worth installing the Sony Sound Connect app on your smartphone as you can enable another mode of NC, set-up equalisers, and change the bass settings to get the sound spot on for your preference. Some other little features in the app are for setting up a dual Bluetooth connection so the headphones can be paired with two devices at once; DSEE (upscaling compressed audio); 360 Reality sound via a hearing profile; and setting the auto-power off (useful to change if you want to use them as pure ANC headphones with no audio playing.) Once you’ve tweaked the settings you don’t need to have the app running at all.The battery life is superb, after a 4-hour flight they were still at 90%. You’ll never have to worry about charging them, and just a very short charge will boost the battery for hours. The Bluetooth connection is rock solid and phone calls are crisp, the built-in mics doing a good job.They come with a USB A to C charging cable, but no charger. Also in the box is a 3.5mm headphone male-to-male cable if you don’t want to use Bluetooth (which I’ve not tested). Finally, no case is included either (it's a bit mean not to include a basic soft case Sony!), so if you travel at lot, one may be useful.

Amazing headphones with sound quality that far exceeded my expectations. They are great for blocking out outside noise whilst on the commute, at the gym or just generally when listening to music. The microphone is great and allows me to use the headphones for calls and meetings. They’re lightweight and easy to carry around, whilst also feeling durable. The pink ones are very pretty and girly! Could not be happier, especially for the price.

I bought these primarily for studying so I can block out other noisy students in the library and wear them for long amounts of time without my ears getting sore. I also chose these because Sony seems to make good headphones, and I really liked the design- they aren’t too huge and bulky.PROs:Comfortable, I wear these for hours at a time in the library. Of course every so often I take them off for 5 minutes when my ears get warm but that’s inevitable. Happy with how comfortable they are because I also wear hijab, which means I already have 2 layers of fabric over my ears which makes most headphones so uncomfortable and painful to wear. The top band is squishy so it doesn’t hurt your head much.The sound is lovely, but I’m no expert or that fussed over sound so I don’t know how it holds up against others. But I noticed a big difference with my other headphones, the music sounds great and you can adjust the settings from the app.The noise cancelling mode is pretty good. Again I have no real point of comparison. It mostly blocks background noise, not people’s voices. Voices become muted, especially if it’s a crowd, but you can still hear people talking around you which is a bit of a bummer. But they are great for blocking other sounds- for example on the motorway, they totally block out the sounds of the road and cars. When I take them off I get shocked by how loud it is. This is great if you get overstimulated. Sometimes I wear them without playing anything just for some quiet. They block out some noise even without turning them on.The app is good, you can adjust the noise cancelling. NC mode sometimes gives me a headache after a while, not sure why, so I often switch to ambient mode.Battery strength is good. You should charge it every night if you’re going to use it a lot though. The only times it’s ran out is when I haven’t charged it in a few days despite heavy use. You could definitely charge it fully once and use it non stop for a car and plane journey- I’ve done that.Very light considering the size. They aren’t heavy enough to hurt your head. Sometimes my scalp hurts after a while but that would happen with any sustained pressure. I just shift them forward or backwards and its fine. They’re pretty secure, enough to run in, but not sure of they’re tight enough to exercise at all angles with, you know moving your head up and down. I think if they were any tighter they’d be uncomfortable anyway so I don’t mind.They’re pretty sturdy, not floppy lile my other smaller headphones from Sony.I got it in white and I don’t regret it. They look very stylish. I hesitated because in the picture it looks paper white, but it’s a bit more muted in person, with hints of grey.CONs:Despite being generally comfortable, there’s a really annoying piece of plastic in the ear that pokes at my ear sometimes. I don’t know if it’s because my ears/head are sort of big but it’s irritating sometimes. I have to shift it around.They don’t fold up. If they did they’d be so much easier to transport. As it is, I wear them around my neck, as the ear pieces thankfully do twist around. Still I think they’d be easier to take care of if they folded. It’s sort of risky just putting them in your bag, unless you can be bothered to carry them in a proper case which admittedly I rarely do. I had to buy a separate case for around £14 so add that to your tally.The buttons feel a bit cheap, they’re quite clicky, not very soft. I don’t really care about that sort of thing but I know some people do.OVERALL:I got these after a long while of comparing different headphones. I settled on these because of the price. I’m a uni student and this is the most I’m willing to spend. It’s actually a little steep, especially since I don’t listen to music that much. They’re mainly for studying and travel. But because of the noise cancelling I end up using them a lot. If they were any more expensive, I’d be too afraid to use them as much as I do. Whilst they’re expensive for my range, they are the cheapest of Sonys over ear headphones that are good. And that also LOOK good. I’ll admit I value the aesthetics- there’s other brands with similar headphones that probably perform as well for less, but that look bulkier and uglier. These look great.So I don’t regret this purchase!! I think it would be a total waste if I bought the more expensive Sony headphones that are more trendy right now, especially since I bought this myself. If you’re a student looking for a solid pair of headphones but can’t afford the popular ones, these are a great shout! I plan on using them at least until I finish university, so 3 year’s minimum. I’m getting my money’s worth. I also heard they use the same tech as the Sony XM4/5 but don’t quote me on that- but I think 90% of people would be very happy with the sound. I bought these when they dropped and there we’re basically 0 reviews- I took a leap and have no regrets!! They’d also make a great gift for any teenager obsessed with their music lol.Update: it’s now January 2024 and I rarely go anywhere without them! Still in great shape and the noise cancelling is a god send. I get asked about them all the time. And I’ve been shoving them my bag unceremoniously for months and they’re still going strong
