Great headphones!
My son loves his headphones, he is never without them. The charge life is so much burger than Apple earbuds, they are comfortable, look good and the sound quality is brilliant. They are lightweight, fold flat, connect easily, are really easy to set up and the controls work really well. All in all a great product and a great price.0

Perfect headphones at a decent price
There seem to be a lot of people in these reviews who simply don’t know how to use their product and you should definitely ignore their reviews. These are definitely noise cancelling: there is literally a whole button just for this function on the right hand side of your headphones and it works really well, especially inside planes. I can barely hear anything besides my music. The aux cord works just fine. You will receive open boxes if you choose the cheaper option – that’s literally the reason why it’s cheaper so why take stars off the product just because you don’t know how to shop online?Anyway, bottom line is the headphones are comfortable, the battery lasts AGES (I use mine on weekends to watch Netflix through my MacBook, bought them in November and the first time I charged them was in February), they pack flat which saves space and there are plenty of unbranded cases you can buy to keep them clean and safe from damage.

Works well for the price.
For its price, the headphones perform well and have clear sound quality. After the death of my Beats Solo 3, I turned to Sony as I was looking for another reputable brand with a wide range of products. When seeing these headphones I bought them due to their relatively cheap price and promise of Active Noise Cancellation. The design is nice with a navy blue colour, easy to connect, and battery life can easily last me a whole week on one charge as someone who listens for at least 3 hours a day. In terms of audio quality, it was a slight downgrade from my beats as they lack the heavy bass I was used to but still good enough for the average listeners. It connects well with the Sony app where you have the option to change the audio profile to your choice so I’m sure if I look into that I can better suit the headphones to me. They do however feel a bit light and flimsy in compared to my Beats which had real leather ear cups and a solid metal band inside but when wearing them on the pro side, they are light and comfortable in comparison to my old headphones that would squeeze my head and hurt my skull. The noise cancelling is not that good however with it reducing outside sound a lot, but not completely blocking it out. They are large in size and can easily expand for those with larger heads but do note, there is no case for carrying so I often find myself having them stored around my neck.When looking for a good pair of headphones for a reasonable price, these will do the job. The nice cancellation work well enough for most, the sound is descent, and the battery is long lasting. Only downsides are due to the price which obviously only a top end headphone could achieve but for what the price is, I saintly recommend.Sincerely,A broke uni student.

Value for money, good quality, can’t fault them
Had the previous generation of these and couldn’t fault those, but these are even better. They feel like oldschool Sennheisers on the ear – they’re lightweight, comfortable, loooong battery life, intuitive controls. Sound quality is excellent (but I’m no audiophile). Good value for money.

Great 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

Das ist der Name derjenigen Person, die diesen Kopfhörer wieder retourniert hat und den ich dann im Warehouse erworben habe. Ja, liebe Lena, vielleicht solltest Du beim nächsten Mal, insbesondere bei einem Smartphone, besser darauf achten, den Auslieferungszustand wiederherzustellen. Der Löschung der persönlichen Daten wegen ;-).Ich pflege beim Wirken im häuslichen Bereich gerne Kopfhörer zu tragen. Dabei wird die Übertragung per Bluetooth bevorzugt. Und dafür ist dieser preiswerte Kopfhörer bestens geeignet. Die störungsfreie Reichweite erstaunt mich immer wieder aufs Neue und stellt die der wesentlichen teureren Huawei FreeBuds Studio ohne Übertreibung locker in den Schatten. Klanglich vermag der Sony da nicht ganz mitzuhalten, doch als Begleitung für die von mir durchgeführten Aktivitäten reicht das allemal. Zumal sich auch der Tragekomfort als sehr angenehm erwiesen hat. Ein Brillenträger weiß das zu schätzen. Als ein weiterer Pluspunkt hat sich die Bedienung über die an den Ohrmuscheln seitlich angebrachten kleinen Tasten herausgestellt. Dafür nehme ich gerne in Kauf, dass die Aktivität des Kopfhörers nur kurz angezeigt wird, denn danach erlischt die kleine blaue Leuchte wieder. Das ist mir jedoch immer noch lieber als diese Fummelei mit den Fingern über ein Bewegungsfeld zu streichen. Hinweis: Vor der Inbetriebnahme ist es leider unumgänglich, eine Software von SONY für die Herstellung der Verbindung mit der Tonquelle auf das Handy zu laden. Damit hatte ich nicht gerechnet und ich war kurz davor, es der mir unbekannten Lena gleich zu tun und das Teil zurückzugeben. Solche Einschränkungen der Funktion über eine App mag ich überhaupt nicht. Nach Aufspielen der Software hat dann alles reibungslos geklappt, auch mit dem TV über dessen Menu. Da hat ja jedes Modell so seine eigene Vorgehensweise. Die Kopplung geschieht reibungslos mit allen auf dem Kopfhörer gespeicherten Smart-Geräten ohne viel eigenes Zutun. Die Übertragung wird beim Absetzen des Kopfhörers übrigens nicht unterbrochen.Wundert es da bei diesen vielen persönlich präferierten Vorzügen noch, dass der HAWEI immer öfter auf der Seite liegen bleibt ??Daher kann ich für diesen Kopfhörer eine uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung geben.

Le Sony WH-CH720N le ho acquistate due anni fa e posso dire con assoluta sincerità che sono uno dei migliori acquisti tecnologici che abbia mai fatto. Da allora le uso regolarmente in palestra, e ogni volta mi stupisco di quanto siano ancora performanti e in ottimo stato.🔊 Qualità audio: un’esperienza immersivaLa qualità del suono è ancora straordinaria: bassi profondi, medi bilanciati e alti nitidi. Ascolto principalmente musica elettronica e pop mentre mi alleno, e ogni beat arriva con chiarezza e potenza. Anche i podcast risultano sempre chiari e privi di distorsione.🔇 Cancellazione del rumore: un game changerAnche se si tratta di un modello “mid-range”, la cancellazione attiva del rumore è sorprendentemente efficace. In palestra, dove ci sono pesi che sbattono e chiacchiere di fondo, riesco a isolarmi perfettamente nel mio mondo. E se voglio restare consapevole dell’ambiente attorno, c’è anche la modalità ambient sound, perfetta per non perdere annunci o segnali importanti.💧 Resistenza al sudore: test superato a pieni votiLe uso regolarmente durante sessioni intense di cardio e sollevamento pesi, e posso assicurare che resistono al sudore senza alcun problema. Nonostante non siano ufficialmente certificate IPX (resistenti all’acqua), la costruzione è solida e il materiale dei padiglioni non si è mai rovinato. Basta un panno umido dopo l’allenamento e tornano come nuove.🔋 Autonomia incredibileDopo due anni, la batteria regge ancora alla grande. Faccio 4-5 allenamenti a settimana da un’ora ciascuno, e le carico circa una volta ogni 10 giorni. Con la ricarica rapida, in pochi minuti ho sempre abbastanza autonomia per una sessione.🎧 Comfort duraturoAnche durante gli allenamenti più lunghi, le cuffie restano leggere e confortevoli. Non stringono e non fanno sudare eccessivamente le orecchie, il che le rende ideali anche per l’uso quotidiano al di fuori della palestra (le uso anche per chiamate e Netflix).📱 Connettività solidaSi connettono rapidamente al mio smartphone e non ho mai avuto problemi di disconnessione o lag, nemmeno in ambienti affollati come la sala pesi o la metro. Posso anche passare rapidamente da un dispositivo all’altro, ad esempio dallo smartphone al tablet.⸻✅ ConclusioneLe Sony WH-CH720N sono un investimento che ripaga nel tempo. Dopo due anni di utilizzo intensivo, specialmente in palestra, funzionano ancora come il primo giorno. La qualità audio, il comfort, la resistenza al sudore e l’autonomia le rendono una scelta top per chi, come me, cerca prestazioni senza compromessi, anche durante l’allenamento.Non sono solo cuffie da ascolto, sono diventate parte della mia routine. Super consigliate!

Ürünü 7-8 aydır deneyimliyorum.Kulaklik pedleri kulağı güzel sarıyor.Hem dış sesi kesiyor hem müzik sesini dışarı vermiyor.Ortalama bı dinleyici için gayet ideal bı kulaklık.Ürün plastik kalitesi gayet yeterli bu sonuca kulağımda sürekli uyuyakaldigim için sabah yatagin bı yerlerinden çıkıyor ve ona rağmen hala sapa sağlam duruyor😂.Bundan önce wh-ch510 giriş seviye kulaklığını kullanıyordum.4 yıl kullandım şuan hala sağlam şekilde emekliye ayırdım.Uzun yıllar sorunsuz kullanırsınız.
