Sony’s new entry-level CH-720N noise-canceling headphones got here out this yr they usually’re fairly good, however if you cannot afford them (they record for $150), the corporate’s new price range on-ear CH-520 headphones are an intriguing possibility for the worth. They normally promote for round $60, however proper now we’re seeing them on sale for lower than $40.
They lack noise canceling and are fairly no-frills, however they characteristic good sound for his or her value, are light-weight and fairly comfy for on-ear headphones, and still have glorious battery life — they’re rated for as much as 50 hours at average quantity ranges. Moreover, they’ve multipoint Bluetooth pairing, so you’ll be able to pair them with two units concurrently (corresponding to a smartphone and pc) and swap audio. Voice-calling efficiency is respectable, although lower than the extent of what you get with the CH-720N.
Notice that there isn’t any wired possibility — these are wi-fi, Bluetooth-only headphones. The CH-520 supply total balanced sound with respectable readability. The bass has some punch to it however would not pack a wallop, and you are not going to get fairly as huge a soundstage as you get from Sony’s costlier over-ear headphones. However these positively sound higher than Sony’s earlier entry-level on-ear headphones and sound higher than I assumed they might. I attempted the white shade, however in addition they are available blue and black.
