Great sound balance ; Lots of detail in audio ; Effective noise cancellation ; Full of useful features

Sound feels constrained ; Noise cancellation leaks in low sounds ; Plastic feels a little cheap

The Sony WH-CH720N pack in a lot of audio finesse and smart features for the price. Unlike Sony's mid-range earbuds, they're not stealing flagship-like performance from the gods – there are clear limitations compared to step-up models – but they're a...

Good sound quality ; Great price ; Powerful noise cancellation

Annoyingly short charge cable ; Long charge time ; Design is just okay

If you want a good looking, good sounding pair of over-ear headphones that won't break the bank, the Sony WH-CH720N's are for you. Features built into the accompanying app feel far more premium than you'd expect for sub-£100 headphones, too.

Verfärbter Klang mit Schwächen bei Mitten und Höhen ; Kein Case im Lieferumfang enthalten ; Kopfhörer lassen sich nicht zusammenklappen ; Keine Trageerkennung

Bei Sonys WH-CH720N steht der guten Bedienbarkeit dank einer Menge sinniger Features und einem hohen Tragekomfort inklusive spitzen Ausdauer ein eher mäßiger Sound gegenüber.

Guter Klang ; Bequem ; ANC ; Telefonie möglich ; Fairer Preis

Tasten nicht so gut erfühlbar ; ANC könnte besser sein ; Musik pausiert nicht beim Abnehmen
