Sony WH-CH720N Headphones
The best headphones for travellers now are the incredible Sony WH-1000XM5, but that performance comes at a cost! In the new WH-CH720N, Sony offers a similar listening experience for a fraction of the price.
And the real beauty is that Sony has kept most of the features needed to make these new noise-cancelling headphones a viable option for most, including full app support, configuration, and long battery life.
Features //Sony WH-CH720N Headphones
The Sony WH-CH720N headphones are a smart and comfortable wireless noise-cancelling headphone offering. With up to 35 hours of battery life, these headphones are perfect for everyday use, and the combination of cushioned earpads and an adjustable headband will make for a comfortable fit.
At the heart of the WH-CH720N, Sony has gone with its Processor V1 to provide noise cancellation as the chip to remove external sounds. There’s also support for an Ambient mode thanks to the Dual Noise Sensor. At the same time, the DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine), Sony says, will deliver “exactly as the artists intended” you to enjoy their music across the 30mm dynamic drivers.
More Than Music
There are two built-in Beamforming microphones for Precise Voice Pickup for clear hands-free calling and voice commands, as the WH-CH720N headphones support both Alexa and Google assistants.
Ease of use is an essential factor, and just like its flagship WH-1000XM5 headphones, Sony has installed Fast Pair for Android devices and Swift Pairing for Windows 10 or 11 enabled devices.
Our Integrated Processor V1 provides an authentic listening experience by reproducing the detail in your music with minimal distortion. The sound tuning is intentionally designed to be well-balanced from low to high frequencies, with natural and clear vocals.

Additionally, the Sony Headphones Connect app (Android | Apple) allows users to customize the sound settings and give control over how effective sound blocking should be.
Quick Charge, Lasting Power
I’ve been using the WH-1000XM5 headphones for a couple of months, and it’s clear Sony takes battery performance seriously. I only use them with ANC on and consistently achieve the 30 hours of playback advertised.
Sony has increased the top-end power performance with the WH-CH720N headphones stating they will deliver 35 hours of Noise Cancelling playback and a massive 50 hours without! Quick Charging is included to make this even sweeter, with only a 3-minute charge needed for an hour of playback.
