    Sony Headphones Are Top Notch!!!

    I love Sony headphones…literally I have 3 pairs…one for working out, over the ear headphones for meditation and a pair I use for walking the dog. Yes, Sony headphones are that serious for me. The sound quality is AMAZING and they hold up well under my sweat during intense exercises. They also stay in place during strong movements such as jumping rope and jogging! The battery lasts FOREVER! One charge last several days without recharging! Great product!

    Sony WH-CH520 honest review

    Great headphones if you’re on a budget for the best price if on sale still. The sound quality is great on normal but shines even more when u download the Sony sound connect app. You have different pre sounds but my favorite is the custom equalizer. Every thing got increased including the bass with ACC and DSEE fully on having that deep high definition detailed sound. It has 360 audio but don’t really use that feature. You have google assistant and Siri support there but for me I don’t really use. Call quality is on point and others can hear u clearly. Unfortunately no noise cancellation for that environment silence. But the ear cuffs are noise isolation to drown out outside noise. You won’t be complaining too much. Not all noise cancellation headphones are perfect either. Battery life shockingly last me for days under heavy use and increased volume. Design ok. Headphones rest on ear but after 2 hours or more you might wanna take a break to give your ears some breeze but not exaggerating. Durability not so sure about yet but hope it last me beyond a year under normal or light use. I try not to stretch too much taking it off my head trying to prevent breakage . But after each use i get a dry cloth to wipe the oils off the leather ear cuffs and headband. Just to prevent the leather from cracking or ripping. Highly recommend this headphone.

    Great headphones!

    These were easy to set up, and very comfortable to wear for hours. I love the sony headphones because the ear pads support your ears and keep them from hurting and getting sore. It’s also nice that you can adjust the headphone, through the two sides. My favorite thing about these are that they are lightweight on your head.Soundwise I am very satisifed, the quality is great. You can use either standard audio or 360 audio, its a really cool feature they implemented. The battery life is 50 hours which is pretty long, and great for those who will use all day long like me who uses them to listen to music while studying. I reccomend downloading the sony app to set them up and partake in all of the additional features they offer. For $40 you can’t beat a great deal.

    Best Headphones I’ve Ever Owned

    Originally I had some Beats headphones that broke after having them about 5 years and they cost about $300. They cracked maybe like the second year of having them when I dropped them. So I was in search of new over the ear headphones since earbuds fall out as I’m sweating and working out. I came across these which were $40 and I thought that’s pretty great for Sony headphones. No matter how much I sweat there is no malfunction. There is a headphones app that you have to download in order to link the headphones to your phone and play music. I did that with no problem. Now the app is super cool because you can choose the sound quality of how you prefer to hear music and set it that way on the app. Never have I ever had a pair of headphones do that! I haven’t used that option yet because the sound is already great! They do not fall off if I run. There is also a built in mic. There are 3 buttons. To power on, choose the next song or go back. If you long press it can also change the volume up or down. You can turn off the headphones by using the power button or you can turn them off using the app. The app collects data such as how long you were wearing the headphones each day. It also tells you the battery life. Now I’ve been using a these headphones everyday for about 3-4 weeks, an hour a day and on one single charge. It still says 100% battery. Also in the app there is a listening log which shows the songs you’ve listened to. I’m sure there are a lot more functions but I just haven’t played with it enough. Overall I’d give these headphones a 10/10.
