About this model
The Sony WH-CH720N are lightweight over-ear wireless headphones built around Sony's Dual Noise Sensor noise cancelling, which uses two microphones to reduce background sound on commutes or in the office. The integrated V1 processor helps balance noise cancelling against battery life, and an ambient sound mode lets you hear announcements and traffic when you need to. A 30mm driver delivers clear, well-balanced sound, and the headphones support Sony's 360 Reality Audio and DSEE upscaling. Controls sit on the earcup, with a button for noise cancelling and ambient modes. The soft earpads and low weight make them comfortable for long listening sessions, and a quick charge gives playback from a short top-up.
