Pretty good; mic could be better
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the most part, this is an excellent headset. It's comfortable, produces excellent volume range, and is easy to operate and connect. This is as close to plug-and-play as you can get. Extremely easy setup and excellent, strong Bluetooth connectivity. I connected to both my phone (Android) and computer, and the pairing process was effortless. I've had much more trouble with fiddly wireless earbuds than this headset. Strongly recommended for someone who wants an over-the-ear set that just *works.* Volume was robust and reproduced a lot in the audio range. These aren't studio headphones, so there is going to be a degree of compression and high+ and low- end loss, but audio quality is on the whole fantastic. The only minor gripe is the quality of the built-in mic. Obviously, since the mic isn't on an arm near your mouth, it's not going to pick up your voice as clearly as a headset with a dedicated mic arm. It seems, however, that Sony tried to compensate by boosting the pickup range of the audio. This headset mic will pick up stuff around you and broadcast it to everyone, and your voice won't sound as clear as it would on a headset oriented more towards voice chat use. Still, it works well given these limitations, and it's not as though anyone listening on a call won't be able to hear you. Strongly recommended as a wireless, over the ear headset.

Great sounding headphones on a budget
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just got a pair of Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones. For the price, I was pretty impressed. In the box you will find the headphones, a short 8-inch USB-A to USB-C connector cable, a very short set of instructions, and the warranty information. The first thing I did was pair them with my Samsung cell phone. It was a simple process. In my case, I already have the Sony headphone software on my phone for my earbuds so I didn’t have to load it, but that would be your next step. In the app, you can configure the headphones to sound the way you want them to. The software provides an equalizer as well as the ability to analyze your ear shape for the best possible sound. They support 360 Reality Audio, if that is something that you utilize. With the software, you can connect 2 pairs of Sony audio devices at the same time and they provide help via voice guided prompts. They also monitor your usage and where you use them. While they lack Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), they still sound very good. The ear cups fit snuggly over your ears and keep much of the external noise out. They have good bass sounds as well as good treble and mid-tones. While they don’t compare to the sounds of my Sony ANC Earbuds, I think they make great everyday headphones. The microphone works well and sound nice and clear on the other end. One of the best features of the headphones is their battery life. Fully charged, they are supposed to provide 53 hours of use. A 10-minute charge provides as long as 1.5 hours of use. Use them with your laptop, Android Smartphone or Apple iPhone and they will outlast the battery in your device. I highly recommend these headphones for those on a budget.

Nice headphone
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WH-CH520,comes in well packaged cardboard box, No Styrofoam is a plus for me! In the box are the headphones, an aprox 6" long USB-C charging cable, user sheet and a paper/cloth hybrid cover wrapping the phones. Altgough they are not noise canceling, when music was playing I wasn't distracted by Spiderman on TV, which was turned up pretty loud. I chose jazz, Fourplay - 101 Eastbound, because of the deep bass and high notes. The music was very crisp and I'm not really sure if the sound was ATMOS or just surround but either way it was immersive and yep I am impressed. The sound quality when on a call was as good as the phone being to my ear. I never mentioned that I had on headphones to the caller and they never said anything about not hearing me clearly. The right side of the phones are where all controls are located. For music play/ff/back and for calls answering and disconnecting as well as the volume. I like them and can see myself using them on planes and in the airport or just relaxing while reading. They're very lightweight and comfortable to have on.

Excellent buy for the Price!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Headphones are lightweight, comfortable, crystal clear through Bluetooth and most importantly they are priced appropriately. The Noise cancelling works better than most high end and they are easy to carry around and for working out, unlike air pods which constantly fall out of your ears.

Great Headphones
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like these wireless headphones. I am not a fan of earbuds since they either fall out or hurt my ears. These Sony Wireless headphones are extremely comfortable and light weight. They hooked up to Bluetooth on my IPhone and the sound quality is very good. The headband is adjustable and the ear covers fit nicely on my ears but if you have huge ears, then these might not be for you. There was not an instruction manual so I needed to scan the the code to review the instructions. This annoys me since they included other pieces of paper & they could do a quick start with photos. The earphones charge with this extremely short USB-C cable and it would be much easier to charge if the cable was a longer length. They don’t totally cancel noise but only loud noise would tend to interfere. I am flying soon so I will see how good they are on a place. From a cost standpoint, these are very reasonable and are of good quality. Once charged, they are supposed to last for 50 hours so that is great.

Good basic headphones
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent pair of on ear headphones with a straight forward app. Pairing this set of headphones was super easy and the app is pretty basic offering the ability to make adjustments and save custom profiles. The build of the headphones is solid and the all black is kind of sleek looking. The ear foam is fairly comfortable however I did feel like they seemed to have pressure point type pain spots on my ear after extended amounts of time. These are great for shorter periods of time and do fit my 7 year old pretty well. I think these will be used for long car rides with my kids more than anything. These would probably be best for gaming or tablet use as the bass and clarity are lacking for a primary music pair. Podcasts and streaming TV sounded pretty clear thorough these. They charge quick and the battery life is what's expected, nothing crazy long. This is a nice option that doesn't break the bank but still offers some higher end options like the built in mic and the app with custom profiles. If you aren't looking for high end music quality and just need a good every day type use headphones then this would be an awesome option. This would also be good for kids who are ready to step up from the "kids size" or "kids style" plug and play type headphones.

Great for $40!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great over-the-ear headphones on a budget. They're pretty good at canceling noise but not so much so that I'm oblivious to my surroundings (I wear them a lot at work). If you're looking for true noise cancelation, though, these probably aren't it. That said, the sound quality is great and they have a pretty good range before they start breaking up. I use them for several hours every day and charge them about once a week, but that isn't even necessary since they've never dropped below 50% charge since I've had them. Phone calls with these are easy and clear. The cons for me are that the headband sometimes slides forward on my head especially if I have my hair in a high bun and they can fall off pretty easily. This sounds weird but I wish I would've measured my ears before ordering because they are slightly small on my ears, so big-eared folks beware.

Worth the money
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very well built, hard scratch resistant surface. Good overall sound for the price range.one issue is that hard sometimes to turn on, I have to hold down the Bluetooth button long time to begin the search process but once on it connects easily. The best thing about these earphones is the battery life. I have used it for 12 hours straight and they still have a charge, and they charge upper fast as well.

Overall poor design. Wouldn't buy them again.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok audio quality for cheap headphones and good battery life. Somewhat comfortable considering I have large head. The main thing I don't like about them is the controls and audio responses are poorly designed. The on/off/connect noises are all barely unique string instruments. I'd rather have the extremely cheap things I've had in the past that call out in a horribly accented voice what it's doing. The buttons are hard to tell the difference by feel. There is also almost no indication they are on, the LED only blinks occasionally.

Good set of basic Bluetooth headphones
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-CH520 is an excellent basic set of Bluetooth headphones with a number of convenient features. The headphones come in a nice-looking box whose only meaningful contents are the headphones themselves and a USB type A-to-C cable that can be used for charging. The charging port and all controls are on the right earpiece. There is no usage documentation in the box, but there is a QR code that takes you to a web site where there is a quick-start guide and a more detailed user guide. The first thing I was glad to discover is that these adjust to fit my large head; I have had to return more than one set of headphones in the past that simply would not fit me. There is a downloadable app available to help pair the headphones to a phone or tablet, but it is not really necessary since pairing can easily be done from the device’s settings in the usual way. The app is useful if you want to adjust the balance or tuning, and to update the firmware if necessary. One welcome feature is that the headphones retain pairing information for up to 8 devices, which should be enough for most users. I paired them to my Android smartphone, Samsung tablet, and Windows 11 Surface tablet. It also supports two simultaneous connections, meaning that you could, for example, be watching a movie on your tablet and then answer a call that comes into your smartphone. The controls on the right earpiece consist of three multi-purpose buttons. When listening, these control volume, play/pause, and fwd/back track skip. When a call comes in, a button is used to answer and later hang up the call. Another useful function lets a double-tap on the center button bring up your voice assistant on your phone. I was able to use this to activate the Google Assistant and give it commands such as to launch my favorite music app. It also works with Siri but I was not able to test that. Listening to music brought home how much better headphones are in general than the wireless earbuds that I’ve been using the last few years, especially at the bass end of the range. I listened mostly to jazz and classical pieces; although I don’t have anything for a direct comparison, the audio performance is more than acceptable, and can be adjusted via app. I only have a couple of negatives on this product. It would be nice if there were a connector for a direct wired connection, which would be useful, for example, when flying. Also, the earpieces are of a size that they go right onto your ears instead of around them, making them uncomfortable – at least for me -- if worn too long. Overall, however, I would say that these are as good as any wireless headphones that can be found at this price point.

"Bang for your buck" as they say
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life is quite impressive. Comfortable and very nice sound quality. Not noise cancelling. Quality of phone calls is great on my end, but have gotten feedback that my background noise is loud from those on the other end. Not sure if there is a setting to help with that. I think quality for cost is excellent and I am very happy with my purchase.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality listening, easy to use. Comfortable to wear. Person on the other end of calls can actual hear your surroundings. Would like the charge to last longer, because I maybe on the phone for longer than usually times. I like these because earbuds don't fit in my ears well and I dont like ear pieces you need place and adjust around your ear. 5 star.
