Our quick verdict
Comfortable, light and easy to wear all day, with noise cancelling that handles buses, trains and offices well. Not flagship-level, but excellent value on offer.
Great for
- Commuters on the bus, Luas or DART
- Working from home
- Anyone wanting a light, comfortable pair
Skip it if
- You need the very best noise cancelling (look at the WH-1000X range)
- You want headphones that fold up small
The WH-CH720N is Sony’s most affordable noise-cancelling over-ear headphone. It’s very light, connects to two devices at once and lasts well over a week of commuting on a charge.
Key features
- Digital noise cancelling with Sony’s V1 processor
- Up to 35 hours battery with quick charge
- Multipoint connection
- Clear calls with beamforming mics
What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the comfort, balanced sound and how well the noise cancelling handles everyday noise like traffic and office chatter.
They note the plastic build feels cheaper than Sony’s premium models, they don’t fold, and some low rumble still gets through.
