High Quality Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. Its good enough for enjoying music and for me, really great for meetings remotely. The mic is good enough and I find these headphones to be very comfortable. Can't really beat the price and quality combination. In my opinion, these are a great deal for daily headphones. For hi end audio, other headphones would be more suitable but I've found these headphones to be not overbearing in the audio spectrum. Battery life also appears really good. Used them all day and it says it has 70% remaining. Plus I like how fast it syncs to my devices, another plus

Exceptional Value
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a set of Bluetooth wireless headphones for a new LG OLED television I had just purchased. This set of Sony headphones fit the bill perfectly and at an exceptional price point. They are feather light, connected to my tv with ease, and have plenty of battery life for hours of use between charges. The ear cups are small and sit on my ears as opposed to over them but I can wear them for extended periods of time without any discomfort. Then sound quality is good. There is no noise cancellation so I would recommend using them in an environment without too much ambient noise. All in all I have been very pleased with them so far.

The Earth friendly headphone
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony’s WH-CH520, the earth friendly headphones. First thing you will notice is the packaging. It is light, small, and when you open it you won’t find a lot of stuff inside like we normally use to. The box you can tell immediately is recycled material and it does not contain any plastic packaging inside. In the box you get the headphones, USBC charging cable and some manuals. Setting them up was a breeze, I do appreciate how Sony is implementing such an easy way of pairing their devices with Android and Windows operating systems. Just by turning the headphone on, it will automatically show up on your mobile device or Windows PC and ask if you want to pair it. The headphone itself is light and it looks simple. On the right ear cups there are 3 buttons with multiple functions. It also houses the mic and the charging port. The buttons are used to control music, summon the assistant and phone calls. This is a budget headphone so don’t expect a premium build. It is mostly plastic and the same goes for the cups foam cover. The cover for the speakers also seems to be made of some type of recycled material. However, don’t be fooled by the looks, they sound pretty darn good for being budget headphone. I was impressed with the sound, it was loud, clear, and with a clean bass. It was not the type of deep base that you’ll get from a more premium headphone but it was good enough for this device. These headphones also support 360 reality audio. To take advantage of its capabilities you have to use the Sony headphone app. In the app you turn on the 360 audio feature. You have the option to measure your ear size, apparently the app analyzed it and adjust the 360 audio accordingly. To use that feature you’ll have to download a separate 360 reality audio app and create an account as well. I honestly didn’t see the purpose of that app but it was required to be installed to finish the setup for 360 audio. I honestly didn’t notice a difference in sound without the 360 app. Call quality was good as well. Person on the other end was able to hear me loud and clear. When it comes to batteries they will last a long time. Manufacturer suggest 50hrs of continuous play time and about 200hrs standby. The only negative I found about this headphone is the earcup size. They seem to be made for a person with small ears. I consider myself to have an average ear size not too big or too small. This headphone will not cover my entire ear, you will also notice that the ear cups are not that big compared to some other headphones. Despite their size, they were able to produce a good clean sound, but not the seal you prefer to mask the outside noise especially if you have large ear size. That’s a trade off because this device does not support noise canceling. Another thing I noticed, after prolonged use my ears got a little warm and had a little bit of sweat. Overall this is not a perfect headphone and if you want close to a perfect device it will come with a higher price tag. For the price you pay for these, you’re getting good earth friendly headphones with good quality sound and great battery life and that’s of course if you don't have large ears.

Posted .Hi Wishkid, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Sony WH-CH520 headphones. Your detailed review provides helpful insights into the features and performance of the headphones.
It's great to hear that the packaging is eco-friendly and that the setup process was easy. The long-lasting battery life and good quality sound are also impressive for a budget headphone. However, it's important to note that the ear cups may not fit comfortably for people with larger ears and that the lack of noise canceling may not provide enough sound isolation in noisy environments.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Sony WH-CH520 headphones.
Regards,
Carl

Not bad for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones arrived almost fully charged, Set up was relatively easy, but you really do need to use their app to complete the set up process. The app also allows you to change some settings and select equalizer settings that work for you. The switches have a nice feel to them. They do have raised areas designed to help you find the correct switch by feel. There are times however when I find that it is easier to adjust the volume using the phone or I remove the headphone to make a change. This is a very subjective items so you may not have the same issue. No stars were deducted for that reason. These are an on ear device. It was not uncomfortable to me, but it did take some getting used to and here again...Personal preference comes into play. On a warm and humid day you may experience some sweating where the ear cup rides on your ear. That may allow for some movement / shifting of the headphone depending on what you are doing. They may thus not work out well for use doing exercising as an example. The sound quality is great at this price point. I have Bose ear buds. The sound from this device is not Bose quality and you should not expect it to be Bose quality. It is good to very good however. The equalizer settings allow you to control all five typical equalizer settings PLUS a separate adjustment for th4 bass. Paring was easy and fast. The connection remains stable most of the time. There is a selection that allows you to select either top quality sound or a more stable connection. I chose sound quality an the vast majority of the time the connection was stable with no noise present. There may be times however, that due to local conditions / interference you may have a little popping or very brief drop out. I have worn these headphones a LOT since they arrived and while I have experienced that, it was very limited. Now I also have a lot of electric / electronic devices in use on my property and that will may explain what I experienced. I did have some interference from some household devices when I wass very close to them. The battery life seems to be very good. I have worn m for several hours and the voice system still indicates 100% at startup. Unlike my Bose products the battery monitoring system is not linear where it will call out 100%, 90%, 80%b etc... It may call out 100% until the battery hits 50% (As an example) and then te voice system will drop from stating 100% to 50%. I do not see that as an issue or negative given the very long stated by the manufacturer battery life, and I have no disagreement with their claims about battery life aty this point in time, So again...Thus far I am very pleased with the fit, quality, and sound quality of these headphones. Do bed aware that tey are NOT noise cancelling. There will be some outside noise reduction dur to the ear cups of course.

GOOD QUALITY HEADPHONE
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using these headphones for a few weeks now, and I’m thoroughly impressed. The sound quality is outstanding, with rich bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. Whether I’m listening to music, watching movies, or taking calls, the audio is consistently clear and immersive. Comfort is another major plus — the ear cushions are soft and don’t cause fatigue even after hours of use. The adjustable headband provides a secure yet gentle fit. Battery life has exceeded my expectations, easily lasting over 30 hours on a single charge. Noise cancellation is very effective, blocking out background noise and letting me focus whether I’m working or relaxing. The build quality also feels premium and durable. Overall, these headphones deliver great value for the price and I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality audio gear.

Great Budget Friendly Product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to wear to the gym. I have Airpods but I tend to knock them out of my ear when I'm working out. These are amazing, especially at the price their offered for. The sound quality is great and gets loud. If you're next to someone at the gym or out in public, others can't hear what you're listening too even with it at max volume. They're easy to use, come with a simple app to track battery percentage and they don't die quickly. Very comfortable and won't slip even when running. I highly recommend these if you're looking for a budget friendly wireless headphone

Very Good !
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were a replacement for my other headphones that someone accidentally broke. These were less expensive and, to be honest, that’s why I got them. COMFORT: I wish they had a little more room at my ears. They don’t feel that secure when I move. Otherwise they are comfortable. SOUND: Not as nice as my JLabs- but very good for how I use them. BATTERY: VERY IMPRESSED! The charge seems to last forever! DURABILITY: I am hard on headphones and I find these to withstand the test with flying colors! WOULD I BUY AGAIN?: I use headphones so so much! I am hard on them- so I would consider repurchasing! I love saving money and not sacrificing a ton on quality. While I like my JLabs better, I find these worth buying, decent quality,

Good sound quality and battery life
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable to wear. Good sound quality and battery life. Easily connects to my LG TV and PC. However the first pair failed after 3 weeks. Fortunately it was still within the Best Buy return period. I exchanged for another pair which is working ok. Hopefully the first pair was a one off.
