Just like the 1000XM5, the CH720N also comes with adaptive sound control, a smart function that can automatically switch between ANC and transparency modes depending on your location. The ANC works well in cutting off unwanted noise and offering a good music-listening experience. However, it does not completely cut off all the noise, and the moment you stop music playback, there is some sound intrusion. On a flight, even when sitting closer to the engine, the 720N was quite effective in cutting out the jet noise, while the music volume was at 60%. Talking about noise cancellation, the integrated V1 processor works well in cutting out background noises such as fans and traffic noise to a good level. The ambient sound mode lets in enough sound to stay aware of the surroundings while also listening to music. We tried it both on a flight and in a metro and were impressed with how well the ambient mode feature worked. The feature can come in handy when you are traveling in a metro or on a flight where you want to listen to music but at the same time do not want to miss out on key announcements. It works well, helping you stay aware of the surroundings depending on your preferences. There is an ambient sound mode (transparency) that lets you adjust the strength up to 20 levels. Sony’s app lets you control different aspects such as the 5-band equalizer and presets, multipoint connectivity, and configure button settings.

The WH-CH720N supports the Sony Headphones Connect app which is available for both Android and iOS platforms. Though it is not a big deal, having Fast Pair would have been a nice addition. Unlike the flagship headphones, the 720N lacks Google’s Fast Pair support.

The packaging is plastic free and made from recycled paper.ĪLSO READ: Sony WH-1000XM5 Review: Raising the bar for ANC, ambient noise & sound quality Features, audio quality and performance Just like other Sony devices, the 720N also focuses on sustainability and is made from recycled plastic. The right earcup has the play/pause and volume buttons and the noise cancellation/ambient noise button. Talking about buttons and ports, the left earcup has a physical 3.5 mm audio jack, a USB Type-C port for charging, and a power button. The WH-CH720N is lightweight and has a comfortable design for long listening hours. Also, Sony doesn’t include a carrying case as a standard offering. However, as they do not fold inwards, the headphones will take up more space inside your bag. Instead, the earcups swivel at a 110-120-degree angle to allow them to lie flat on the table. The inner side has faux leather padding which is soft and comfortable, and stays that way for hours of wearing them, even in hot and humid conditions. The outer side of the earcups is made from plastic and has a matte finish. The headband is faux-leather and offers the right amount of padding needed to hold them comfortably. The weight is well-balanced and you hardly feel it, even when using them for a long time.

WATCH: Sony WH-CH720N Unboxing and First LookĪt just 192 gm, the WH-CH720N is Sony’s lightest wireless noise-canceling headphone set. We have been using the headphones for a little over two months now and below is our analysis. The headphones also come with multipoint connectivity to seamlessly switch between two devices.

In terms of positioning, it is beneath the flagship 1000X line and alongside the XB extra-bass series.Ī key highlight of the WH-CH720N is that it is powered by the same integrated V1 processor for noise cancellation as on the XM5. This year, Sony released the more affordable WH-CH720N, which is available for around $125. We were impressed with their ANC, ambient noise and sound quality. Last year, we tested the Sony WH-1000XM5 ( review), which are premium headphones priced at around $425. And while most OEMs are focusing on the TWS segment, Sony continues to focus on both TWS earbuds and over-the-ear headphones. Sony is widely known as an industry leader when it comes to offering active noise cancellation ( ANC) on headphones.

The headphones support multi-point connectivity.
