Awful! Avoid
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Save your money. Upgrade to something better. First it tries to trick you into downloading an app in order to use the headphones so it can track your data and everything you do. But you get around that and connect the headphones and the sound is absolutely terrible. It’s the worst sound of any headphones I’ve ever used in my entire life. I expected better from Sony.

Posted .Hi iMty, We are sorry that you are not that comfortable wearing your Sony headphones. Please make sure to adjust the headband of your headphones according to the size of your head for more comfortable listening experience: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2958/v1/en/contents/TP1000781372.html. Despite your concern, it's nice to hear that you will still recommend your Sony headphones. The WH-CH520 headphones with up to 50 hours of battery life, stable connectivity, and enhanced call performance, meet the demands of your day. The lightweight build and swivel earcups gently slip on and off, while the adjustable headband, cushion and soft ear pads give you all-day comfort. Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) restores the harmonics and liveliness lost during typical music compression, for a more authentic performance. Should you need further assistance, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com. Thank you for choosing Sony! Vincent

Uncomfortable for me
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I unfortunately returned this immediately because of how uncomfortable they were for me. The pressure of the headband on the top of my head gave me a headache.

Posted .Hi MarisolD,
While we are glad to hear your satisfaction with the reasonable price of the WH-CH520, we are really sorry if you are having a sync issue when using it with your smartphone. This is certainly not the experience we were hoping you would have. Depending on the connected device, the volume may not sync with the headphones. If this is the case, you may not get the desired volume by adjusting the headphones volume. You may try using a combination of the headphone volume and the volume of the connected device to isolate the problem. And if you are having an audio and video out of sync or audio delay issue, please refer to the below:
The audio playback on the headset may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.

Heavy Sound From Lightweight Phones
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was surprised at how light and simple these headphones seemed out of the box. I didn't expect the quality of the sound from them, but for on-the-ear type, they have really good bass and clarity. This was the first inexpensive set of headphones where I wasn't immediately tempted to open an equalizer to tweak the sound, they sounded that good. I actually heard and noticed sounds in songs I've listened to many times that I never really noticed. I prefer over-the-ear phones but these sit well on my ears and I don't get the sweat that I do with those type. These are a budget set, no independent volume control, so you must control it with the device playing the sound. They paired easily with my PC and two phones, and have the usual track-forward and back controls. The battery level is reported when you power them on, and even after a couple hours of use still reported "battery fully charged." They charge easily with an included USB-C cable. Being a low-cost set, there is no included zipper case like the more expensive Sony models, but I think the sound quality makes these worth the money. They sound great.

Poor quality less than 90 days and broken.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Poor quality do not purchase. My son used his birthday gift card to buy himself a pair of headphones and wanted something from Sony. He's had them since the end of August and it's now mid October with minimal use and they have already broken. We've been dealing with a warranty return and nobody has assisted us even though it's under 90 days since we've purchased them. Never again Sony. Buyer beware.
