WH-CH520 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones On Ear with Mic, Up to 50Hrs Battery, Quick Charge, DSEE Upscale, Multipoint Connectivity, Voice Assistant, Customized EQ-Black

Excellent product with great sound quality for its price. Pairing takes a bit of time sometimes. Battery works for sufficiently long time with full charge, but time not tested exactly.

Today I’m reviewing my new Sony headphones, and honestly, the experience has been amazing. The build quality feels premium, the design looks stylish, and they are very comfortable even for long use. The sound quality is excellent with clear vocals, deep bass, and an immersive listening experience that makes music and movies more enjoyable. The noise cancellation works really well by blocking outside sounds, which is perfect for travel or office use. The battery backup is also impressive and easily lasts for long hours on a single charge. Overall, if you want premium sound, comfort, and trusted quality, these Sony headphones are definitely worth it.

Sound quality is too good 👍 and looking classic and premium 👌

So if you're considering to buy this pair of headphones or have already brought it and need a little tweak to the sound to up the excitement, give this review a read. I know it's somewhat lengthy :( but if you've already bought this pair, skip to the last part, that is, bonus. Sound quality:- Pretty good. As you might know, Sony is Sony when it comes to sound. The audio is clear and has that calm, balanced profile that I prefer to the bass oriented profiles of BoAt and JBL. If you are a basshead, I don't think these headphones will be your go to. But if you've been using bass heavy headphones, you will feel and instant change in audio quality and the overall beauty of music once you switch to a Sony device. Keep in mind that I'm not a professional audiophile or something. I love listening to quality music and watching movies and these headphones are perfect. I use Apple music and the sound is bliss, idk about Spotify though but I think it will fare equally well. I like bass and these headphones do provide bass, just that they are not overkill and distort the entire sound looking for it. These feel more premium in the sound department. However some people might feel a lack of excitement in their sound out of the box. Worry not, I've added an EQ tweak to fix your problem at the end of this review. Specs:- 30mm drivers. So not as loud as the 40mm ones BoAt and JBL offer in this price range. But I've felt (personally) the audio quality to be better. Bluetooth 5.2 which is solid. Multipoint connection makes sure that this will not be outdated soon. They've been released in 2023 and will remain in contention for atleast a couple of years. Multipoint has to be turned on in headphones app and I use it to connect the headphones to my Macbook to watch movies and to my android phone, which might be on charging or in another room, to attend calls. The switching is seamless and works well. They don't have touch controls though, so it will take a couple of tries to learn to get the buttons right, especially in a dark room. They have DSEE which is basically a feature to enhance low quality/ compressed audios downloaded from internet. It has to be turned on in the app and is not needed for Spotify or Apple music as they are already best quality music and DSEE takes up additional battery charge. Battery is solid. They were 70% out of the box and after 20 hr playback still had 50% left. So I guess they'll last for atleast 50 hrs like they claim on the box. I don't like charging my devices all the time and I use them for max 5 hrs a day for which they will last close to 2 weeks which is good. No ANC though, it's not a problem for me but if it is for you, don't buy. Mic is good, I've attended calls in the midst of traffic and they were pretty fine. Comfort:- I've tried many midrange headphones and these are some of the best in terms of comfort too. Soft earcups that sit compact on my ear. However if they are not positioned properly, they might exert pressure. But on proper positioning, they will give 2 to 2.5 hours playback without any discomfort. After that you will have to take a break. I don't have big ears btw. They are lightweight and have an adjustable headband with cushion. So as far as on ear headphones are concerned, these are comfortable. Build:- Plastic but feels durable. Not creaking. The earcups are the types which forms wrinkles, they look durable but I don't know if they will pinch unless I use it for atleast 6 months. Anyway these have replacement earcups available online and in Sony service centers. I have one near my house. I don't think they are sweat resistant so don't use it for workouts. For jogging they will stay in place once positioned compactly, but for running they will slip off ear. Drawbacks:- Lack of aux cable. Once you are out of charge, that's that. It says they support fast charging on box, but I haven't tried that so idk. Normally takes 2 hours atleast to charge from 20 to 100. Another drawback is portability. They are not foldable and even though the plastic feels durable, I'd suggest you don't bump them much. While travelling either buy a case or carry them around in the box they come with (don't worry about looking cheap, the box doesn't have anything like specs or other bs written on it. Only thing written is Sony. It's inside the white cover that mentions specs). Conclusion:- They offer value for money if you ask me. The sound is premium for a budget segment and not too bass oriented. The headphone app means it will get firmware updates and has some listening modes that actually work, it is not a gimmick. They look and feel premium too. And unlike Anker or ATH, they have service centers all over so if any issue pops up, that's an added boost too. The don't have an in box warranty card but worry not, the moment you connect your device to the headphones app they are registered. Keep the Amazon invoice with you, in the box or download it in pdf form from your orders section. Bonus:- If the headphones lack excitement to you out of the box, the headphones app offer some preset EQ. But I will share this tweak I found from reddit. They worked for me so if you don't know how to configure the EQ on your own, try this; Select manual on EQ in Sony headphones app. Put 400 to 2. Put 1k to 4. Put 2.5k to 7. Put 6.3k to 7. Put 16k to 5. Put clear bass to 2. Try out this tweak and see if it works for you. This works on some higher end Sony models too. Enjoy your headphones!!!

These headphones are not satisfactory for bass and high-volume lovers.

These headphones are amazing. The sound quality is amazing as well. Though, the noise cancellation isn't present all the time but it drowns out most of the background noise. And you can also adjust the sound requirement according to your needs with their app. The touch controls are a bit tough to manage while wearing the headphones themselves but you'll get used to it. Overall, these are really good headphones.

This is THE PRODUCT i came across. Excellent sound quality. Immediately connects via blue tooth. Very sturdy and good finishing. Comfortable to ears. Microphone also works excellent. I would say it is worth buying.

This has been my lifeline since 3 months now. I have been listening to music using it. Quality is great. The only this is it is not noise cancelling, so if you're listening to loud music say rap or rock music, everyone around will be able to hear everything playing. Battery life is superb. It's 3-4days. I listen to music 12-14 hours a day so it's very comfortable, doesn't give you any rashes or makes you sweat, unless you're working out. Love the colour. Bluetooth connectivity sometimes goes off when you're running. Great product for the cost better than other companies and looks very clean and nice.

Acquisto soddisfacente, in termini di ascolto e modalità di utilizzo. Unico neo, la pressione sulle orecchie, arrecando lieve fastidio. Prodotto di qualità.

I’ve had these headphones for a long time, and they still work perfectly. The sound quality is clear, the battery lasts a long time, and they’re very comfortable to wear. Bluetooth connects quickly, and they’ve been reliable for everyday use. Great quality from Sony, and I would definitely buy them again. Highly recommended!

Muy cómodos, en mi trabajo participo en muchas reuniones virtuales y hay días en que los traigo puestos tal vez 5 o 6 horas seguidas sin quitármelos y no me molestan, a veces hasta se me olvida que los traigo. Excelente conectividad bluetooth con el celular y laptop, se pueden conectar ambos a la vez. En el gimnasio los he usado corriendo y haciendo todo tipo de ejercicios y son cómodos, ligeros y no se mueven. Los he sudado y la cubierta de las almohadillas no se ha dañado nada. El audio es buenísimo, muy bien nivelado y aunque no tienen cancelación de ruido, con un volumen moderado y por las mismas almohadillas, aisla lo suficientemente bien como para que los ruidos o música del gimnasio, por ejemplo, queden muy en el fondo. Nunca ha sido necesario subir al máximo el volumen. Además con la app puedes ecualizar a tu gusto, también recomiendo, si usas Spotify, ecualizar ahí para tener la mejor experiencia posible. La batería dura muchísimo, en 3 meses de uso usándolos en promedio 3 o 4 horas diarias y solo los he puesto a cargar 3 veces. Cargan muy rápido también. El único detalle que les he encontrado es que con mi SmartTV Hisense, jugando Playstation tiene un delay de medio segundo o 1 segundo, y con Youtube cada 40 segundos o 1 minuto "se brinca" o "se come" como 1 segundo tanto del audio como del video. Pero para mi no ha sido problema porque realmente solo los uso para escuchar música desde mi celular y para tener llamadas de trabajo. En resumen, son cómodos, lucen bien, sobrios y de buena calidad, muy buen audio y excelente rendimiento de batería.

I just received mine today and i'm impressed with the quality and the sound. The sound is amazing. This product is the best, it is worth every cent and more. So amazing.

Good sound and build quality and also light to wear. Recommended for youngsters/teens.
