Sony WH-CH720N Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones (Renewed)

Great battery life. Noise canceling is pretty darn good for this price range of "over the ear" head phones. Sound quality is good. They have a comfortable fit with smallish ears and my 7-¾ hat size.

Let's begin with the sound quality. It's good, very good for any sub $200 pair of headphones. A reasonable comparison is the Q30, which I like a pot. It has exceptionally solid battery life, allowing me to watch/listen for 16h and not be dead yet. They're easy to pair via Bluetooth and have great options + button controls. The only downside is that the build feels very plasticky, but I'm not sure that's a bad idea in terms of durability. They also charge slowly but I consider that fairly minor. Grabbing these for up to $80-90 is a great deal.

My only complaint with these headphones is that after wearing for a long period of time, they start to hurt the top of my head. This is my first time using headphones as opposed to earbuds so I don’t know if that is common across all headphones. Other than that, they work pretty great and are comfortable around my ears. They aren’t truly noise canceling, but they do enough so that loud noises aren’t bothering.

This is my second pair of Sony WH-CH720N headphones. Broke the left hinge on my first pair lazily pulling off my head, though that was after 100s of uses. Decided they simply weren't engineered for my durability needs and purchased a pair of Sennheiser Consumer Audio ACCENTUM Wireless Bluetooth Headphones--well, Sennheiser's claimed wind noise suppressor simply does not match the performance of the Sony 720s. While I love these 720s, I may try out the Sony ULT WEAR model the next time I break this 2nd pair--looks like they may have addressed the weak hinges on that model. I never fear buying 'renewed' to save $$.

Saved me lots of stress from my flight! I had very low expectations of them. I expected them to work less than earplugs with blasting headphones on top which was what I did before. And well, they worked a bit better than that.It doesn't work too well if you're just hoping the ANC alone will save you from a choir of woeful children cries. That was never my expectation. With music at my usual volume (not to kill my hearing) along with ANC, it worked well enough to make all the crying a backdrop noise.ANC alone probably mostly muffles a lot of the high sounds and lowest sounds with some block on the middles. So it's like adding a closed window to the noise. I'd roughly say it does it at 30% to 50% depending what kind of noise you are more sensitive to. With your preferred music or audio book on regular volume, that helps add another layer of "cancellation" or maybe more accurately a distraction from the noise around you.If you expect ANC on these headphones alone to block out more than 50% or remotely close to 70% you'd be disappointed.I'm really pleased with my pre-flight panic purchase. It was refurbished but I found no fault with my device. It paired with my android phone and ios ipad with no issues. Battery lasts a long time as well. I was able to use it regularly for 2-3 days without issues.It's a sleek design and minimalist. It is mostly plastic, but comfortable and not too tight. It feels a teeny bit flimsy, but by no means cheap. I've had my hands on even more plasticky headphones. Though if you're traveling with it, it may help to get a protecting case for it.

My daughter really likes them. She said that they are not noise canceling. She does like the fact that they work well they connected well and they came very quickly. She is sad that they're not as thick that the cushions around her ears are not as thick because she wants it to be more noise canceling than they are.

Are they comfortable? Sure. does the noise cancellation work pretty decent? Sure. But the issue is that these CONSTANTLY disconnect from my phone's bluetooth. No other bluetooth device or headphones I've used does this, only these Sony headphones. So, the issue IS the headphones. Not my device or ability to use it.I can't make it through a full song quite often. I bought these right before an international trip and as miserable as a 13hour plane ride is in economy class, having a pair of bulky over the ear headphones to tune out and relax with only made the experience much more of an inconvenience. I can't use them to listen to music or watch videos. So now what, I just have to have these out an carry them around now? I can't return them, I'm out of the country.I even have the Sony app set to prefer 'stable connection over sound quality', and the issue persists. So I choose to have less quality sound in exchange for a stable connection, yet the stable connection doesn't exist.If I could return these, I would. I think I'll just toss them in the trash and eat the cost because i don't see the point in lugging these around. I'm back to my backup pair of cheap Wal-Mart in-ear Skullcandy ear buds that I hate (uncomfortable, no noise cancelling) but at least they actually work and i can enjoy music or a show privately when in public places.If these headphones didn't constantly drop the connection they'd be a solid device with a high rating. They are comfortable. The noise cancellation is pretty okay. The sound quality is pretty decent (when connected), but the fact it just randomly drops the connection and resets every few minutes is enough to give this a solid 0/10.

The media could not be loaded. The headphone came in a week early which is great. When unboxing the headphones they came in a white headphone cloth and in the box it comes with a audio cable and a c type charger. The headphones feel very lightweight and comfortable for long wear. I personally wear headphones all day and I have piercings so I like that the headphones cover my whole ear. The sound quality is a 10/10 for me. I like to blast music without being bothersome to the people around me so the noise canceling does a great job so I can't hear people and they can't hear me!
