Sony WH-CH720N NOISE-CANCELLING Headphones

Why is everyone buying these £99 headphones? Sony WH-Ch720N Review

Sony has recently launched their latest noise-cancelling headphones, the Sony WH-CH720N, and they are taking the market by storm. At a price point of just £99, these headphones offer an impressive array of features and performance that have caught the attention of many music enthusiasts.

The headphones come with a sleek and minimalist design that's available in matte black, white, and blue. The build quality is impressive, with materials on the outside of the headband and ear cups that feel relatively sturdy. The ear cups are enlarged, which ensures comfort for extended usage. The headphones are also lightweight, weighing around 190 grams, making them the lightest over-ear noise-cancelling headphones to date.

One of the most significant advantages of these headphones is their battery life. They offer up to 35 hours of full noise-cancellation, making them perfect for daily usage. The built-in Sony V1 chip also provides dual noise sensor ANC functionality and Active Voice Pickup for calls, which is a big upgrade over their predecessor. The headphones also have a 3-minute quick charging feature that can give up to an hour of playback with ANC on.

The Sony Headphones App syncs seamlessly with these headphones, providing a range of features for an enhanced listening experience. The app has an ear shape analysis feature that tailors the sound signature specifically to the user when listening to 360-reality audio. The app also has customizable EQ sliders, and some presets to fine-tune the listening experience.

In terms of sound quality, the WH-CH720N headphones are impressive, considering their price range. The low end is dealt with really well, and there's plenty enough detail and clarity in the midrange and highs too. The headphones deal with a wide range of genres really well and are pretty much unbothered by any of the more complex tracks.

When it comes to comfort, these headphones are a big win. They are very light and have decent padding with a leather-like finish that covers all of the parts that come in contact with the user's head. The enlarged ear cups ensure that users can wear them for extended periods without any discomfort.

While the WH-CH720N headphones may not be as good as the XM5's, they offer almost the same level of performance at a much more affordable price point. With the premium technology trickling down to these headphones, users can get better headphones that are much more affordable. For those looking for an entry-level pair of headphones with premium features, the Sony WH-CH720N noise-cancelling headphones are an excellent option.

In terms of controls, the headphones come with physical buttons that are easy to use. The volume buttons and the play/pause button are located on the right ear cup, and the On/off button, which doubles as the Bluetooth pairing button, is located on the left ear cup. The headphones also have a USB-C charging port and a 3.5mm analogue input in case the battery ever dies, and you want to go for a wired listening experience instead.

Overall, the Sony WH-CH720N noise-cancelling headphones are a great investment for anyone looking for an affordable pair of headphones that offer premium features and performance. They are comfortable, lightweight, and have an impressive battery life. These headphones are a great option for those who want to enjoy high-quality sound without having to spend a fortune.
