Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Sony WH-CH700N is an exceptional entry to the already established line of quality Sony headphones that provides both an excellent listening experience as well as being an affordable wireless and wired option. At its price point, it offers competitive sound quality, noise cancelling, voice control as well as hands free calling. It also supports several codecs for wireless operation including SBC, AAC, APTX and APTX HD. Furthermore, the WH-CH700N is extremely compact and lightweight, making them a perfect choice for traveling and prolonged use. Completing the feature rich packaging, the WH-CH700N also includes a micro USB cable for charging as well as a 3.5mm cable for wired operation. Opening the box for the first time, I was surprised to see how small and compact they were. Stored with the cups facing flat down, the left and right sides are able to partially swivel (roughly a little more than 90 degrees). Initially, I thought this might be bothersome but it is actually quite helpful as it allows you to position them accordingly to maximize comfort. Connectively, the cups can be slightly adjusted upwards or inwards towards your ears. As someone who listens to music on a regular basis, these are extremely comfortable and I was able to easily listen for a few hours without any discomfort. In addition, they fit relatively secure and did not fall off nor was I able work them loose. This was impressive as it is quite rare to find something comfortable yet snug so they will not fall off. As for the construction, the external portion of the headphone cups are plastic, though it felt solid and sturdy, but it did not feel cheap. Additionally, the black model has a slight granite appearance on the outside of the cups that enhances the aesthetic. The internal leather cups were soft and durable and provided quite a bit of cushion, including the top inside of the headphones. The adjustable band on both the left and right side was seemingly sturdy and with some force, I still could not bend the frame. At the top of the headband, however, there was some slight weakness, but overall the construction was solid. As for the operation controls, you will note familiar territory. On the bottom left cup resides the power button, the micro USB port for charging, the headphone jack, and lastly the noise cancellation button. Connectively, on the bottom right hand side, you will find the pause/play and track buttons as well as volume control for Bluetooth only (wired mode requires you to control volume on the specific device you use). Paring the headphones was quite simple and both my Xperia Z3+ and my Xperia Z4 tablet connected without any issue. As somewhat of a music enthusiast, I listen to a wide variety of music genres including Classical, World, Metal, Rock, Rap, Jazz, Latin, R&B, Trance, so naturally I was quite excited to test the WH-CH700N and see how it performs across multiple genres. All my files that I played are lossless FLAC files that I have made from my personal collection. They all have been aggressively analyzed with various audio software and spectrograms to verify that they are indeed in proper quality. Lastly, all sound altering settings were turned off and I tested both wired and wireless connections using my Xperia Z3+ as well as connecting it directly to my computer's SoundBlaster XZr. For software playback, I used MusicBee 2.4 using WASAPI mode for output. Overall, the WH-CH700N handed every genre relatively even, aside from perhaps some slight muddy places in some of my metal tracks. However, the longer I used them the sound seemingly improve; connectively, my ears adjusted to the sound as well. In addition, on Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Metallica's "Enter Sandman", I thought the headphones were consistent in reproducing a nice warm vocal clarity as well as instrument separation. As for more bass oriented genres such as Trance and some Rap, the bass was quite punchy and definitely rumbled more than I was expecting. On Eminem's "Stan", I was quite pleased with the bass reproduction. I do want to stress though to keep your bass expectations reasonable as this is not going to shatter windows, but nonetheless you should at least be able to feel it depending on the song. During more dynamic Hi-Res tracks (96 KHz/24 Bit), such as Sonny Rollin's "St. Thomas" or Schumann's "String Quartet In A Minor, Op 41" the middle and high sounds were clear and pronounced. I could easily make out each instrument of the quartet. The results were quite intimate. While testing in wired mode, I did notice that the headphones were able to work either with the headphones on or off. When they are on, the sound is amplified as noise cancelling headphones of what I assume is the AINC (Artificial Intelligence Noise Cancelling) feature. However, by holding down the noise cancelling button, the headphones chimed to notify it was off, but after a few seconds it would seemingly reactivate itself automatically as the music increased drastically in volume. I could not get it to stay off. This occurred on my computer as well as my phone, and it affected both wired and wireless modes. Nonetheless, it is not an issue or a complaint, as most will undoubtedly leave the AINC on, but merely an observation that one should be aware of. As for wireless operation, the sound results were excellent. For my wireless test, I left the codec to APTX to maximize the wireless transmission (despite it not being technically/mathematically full lossless) and left all sound enhancing features off. During wireless playback, I was pleasantly surprised about the volume level; at roughly half volume on my Xperia Z3+ everything was loud and clear. This is a huge plus as typically on some Bluetooth devices you usually end of having to max out the outgoing volume; definitely not the case here as I was thoroughly impressed. Musically, everything sounded clear and punchy as it had with wired mode; highs were reproduced quite well. For my personal listening experience, I usually always prefer a wired connection. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the ability to use the headphones as either wired or wireless. It is definitely a great advantage to have as you can switch back and forth depending on your needs. Overall, as far as sound goes, I am confident that almost everyone will be pleased with the results. Once again to reiterate, as a bit of caution since sound quality, generally speaking, is quite subjective from person to person, I strongly recommend to keep your expectations within reason. No complaints here. For a noise cancelling test, I wanted to see if I could detect a difference depending on the environment. While listening indoors, the WH-CH700N did a fairly decent job of isolating out the noise from several TVs as well as conversations without even turning the noise cancelling on. Moving outside, while the wind was quite breezy, I still could not fully distinguish between toggling manual noise cancelling on or off. During a hands free call outside, my conversation was clear and I could hear the other person without any issue nor could they hear the wind. As part of a worst case scenario, while in the passenger seat of our car with the window rolled down, I again tried to see I could discern any differences between the noise cancelling but to no avail. I still heard the wind whipping around me on both settings, but it never distracted me from the music. Overall, I do not have any complaints as I thought it did a decent job, despite still hearing the wind from the car test. For most environments, they are more than adequate. Lastly, I would like to mention some features of the Sony Headphones connect application as there are several features worth noting. First and foremost, the application allows you monitor the Bluetooth battery which I found quite helpful. It also shows next to the battery symbol which current codec you are currently using. Furthermore, you can also change the codec setting by preferring quality (APTX) or prioritize the connection (SBC). Strangely, for some reason, Sony's LDAC codec is not supported on these headphones. In addition to codecs, you can change the sound altering features that I mentioned earlier such as the equalizer or the Virtualphones technology (VPT) for different effects. However, both the equalizer and VPT effects can only be used as long as the prioritize connection is selected (SBC). Lastly, the equalizer has 11 different presets including the familiar treble and bass booster or vocal and custom settings. The VPT has 4 different ones including arena, club, outdoor stage, or concert hall. You can also toggle the DSSE setting on or off, which is supposed to dynamically restore missing sound that is erased with lossy encoded music. In conclusion, the WH-CH700N noise canceling headphones provided an excellent listening experience, enhanced by both its ability to be used either wired or wireless. While I am disappointed in Sony's decision not to include their LDAC codec, the WH-CH700N nonetheless still supports a wide range of codec choices for wireless operation. Furthermore, other features such as noise cancelling and hands free calling, in combination with its sleek and sturdy construction, solidifies its value and overall performance. At a relative reasonable price point, the sound quality was excellent and they were extremely comfortable. Given Sony's audio reputation over the decades, I have no doubt that most will be pleased with the WH-CH700N. It is definitely worth a listen. Highly Recommended.

I’ll get right to the point: these headphones are REALLY good. The Sony WH is ready straight out of the box. The Bluetooth syncing is done within seconds and I was ready to enjoy music and movies. What I noticed immediately was how comfortable the Sony WH is. The ear cushions are gentle while still blocking out the noises around me. The headband didn’t dig into the top of my head after an hour of use. Believe me, this is a bonus. The sound quality of the Sony WH is high quality that makes for fun when watching shows or movies on your device. There’s an added OPTIONAL bonus if you download the Headphones Connect App (it’s free) which allows you to access the equalizer and the various options. With some other wireless headphones, there is an issue when the user tries to access the controls without actually looking at the control scheme which is normally located on the underside of one of the earcups. The Sony WH main control button is one of the easiest to use when wanting to skip tracks or pause music. I was able to commit the slide bar button to memory within several minutes. And the separate Power button is a quick ON/Off instead of waiting several seconds and guessing if the device is powered off. Wearing the headphones and using the voice commands to make phones calls or ask questions to Siri is responsive. I’m able to command music to play and make phone calls without having to repeat myself because I wasn’t understood by the digital assistant. While using the headphones during phone calls, there wasn’t any interference on either end. I could hear the person with clarity. I attempted to connect the headphones to my PS4 but the Playstation 4 told me that the headphones were incompatible. I believe the Sony WH-CH700N is perfect for those users that lead busy lives that have them traveling to airports, across campus or just waiting in a lobby for whatever appointment you may have.

I always wanted to try out wireless noise cancelling headphones to see if they made that much of a difference. I knew that they cancelled constant, low frequency noises and ambient noises best, and only the highest end headphones, like the Sony 1000XM3, can muffle voices and other intermittent high frequency noises. Don't expect them to cancel all frequencies like the 1000XM3 do, but do expect that the AC, fans, engines and trains and buses, won't be heard at all. And that's exactly what they do. I bought them on sale on Black Friday for half off, and they are great for the price. The app for these is called "Headphones," which let's you customize the EQ, Sound Effects and shows the battery level, which is a nice bonus. (Although, to use the EQ and Sound Effects, you have to choose "Prioritize Stable Connection" rather than "Sound Quality"). The build quality is okay, using plastic for most of the headphones and the ear cups rotate 90 degrees for storage. The headphones aren't the most attractive design for me, as I prefer a flatter ear cup, instead of the slight protrusion where the on-ear model would end, and then extra room around the sides, but it's not ugly, either. The leather ear cups fit my ears, (noting I have small ears), perfectly and are comfortable to me. The headband, however, does not have thick enough padding, so sometimes I have to move it around my head, so it doesn't press on my head too much. I prefer sound quality to comfort, though. Also, it doesn't include a travel case, which is rather unfortunate, but it's not a deal breaker for me. The headphones use physical buttons instead of a touch pad. I haven't used a touch pad before, but the buttons on these are easy to use and locate. The left earcup has the Power, Charging, Input and NC buttons and the right earcup has the Skip Forward, Backwards and Pause and Volume buttons. I don't know what supposedly "sounds good," but to me, they sound fine. They are great for most genres, and if you want a more detailed review of sound, there are other reviews that go into more detail about it. I, personally, prefer a bright sound signature, or at times, a more neutral sound, and am not much of a bass head, though, I do enjoy the bass on these headphones, and the EQ let's me customize the sound further to my liking. I also think that the volume is loud enough, even at low levels. It could be that I prefer volume not too loud, though. It has DSEE, or Digital Sound Enhancement Engine, which is supposed to enhance sound quality lost in compressed audio files, which I don't know much about, but it's there if you're interested. It also boasts 35 hours of battery life through Bluetooth with NC on, and according to other reviews, it's accurate. I haven't charged it for more than two days with NC on, and it's still 70%. I listen to music throughout most of the day, so that's good. The only problem is that the charging cable is a bit too short, so I can't use it while listening to music on my PC while charging. In Bluetooth mode, they sound great with the app, and in wired mode, they sound equally good. However, I don't listen to wired on my phone, but my PC has Sound Blaster Cinema 3, so that could be the reason why. They support various codecs, including aptX, aptX HD, AAC and SBC. They also have NFC, so if you prefer that, you can use it instead of Bluetooth. The pairing was easy. All you do is turn on the headphones, then Bluetooth and it will connect right away with a voice prompt. Also, no registration is required for use of the app. You can connect the headphones to two Android phones, an Android and an iPhone and a music player, but not to a PC or Mac and a smartphone at the same time. For that, you have to disconnect it to either the smartphone or the computer, and reconnect to the one you want to use at the moment. There was an update recently so you can use the headphones with Google Assistant, but since I don't care for it, I don't use it. It's there if you want to use it, though. The NC has three modes, Standard, AI mode and off. The NC is turned on when you turn on the power button automatically, so to turn it off, you press the NC button three times. To turn on the AI mode, you press the NC button twice, it beeps a couple times, it analyzes the ambient sounds and the sound is lowered. After three seconds, it chooses the preferable mode and sound volume returns to normal. However, beyond that, it doesn't let you customize the level of NC you want. For the price, though, it's fine. The AI mode has three modes: Mode A is for mid-low range sounds, Mode B is for low range sounds, and Mode C is for relatively quiet wide ranging noise. I don't usually travel on public transport, so I can't tell the difference between these modes, but they are there if you want them. So, if you can't afford the $350 for the 1000XM3, then this is as good as it gets for the $200 price range. The sound, the app and the battery life, are great. The only things that aren't top-notch are the NC and the headband padding, which is decent, but it isn't going to do what higher end models do, and the headband is not as comfortable. Pros: • Good sound • Long battery life • Customizable sound through app • Decent noise cancellation • Both wired and wireless modes sound good • Loud volume, even at low levels • Supports various audio codecs, including aptX, aptX HD, AAC and SBC • Supports NFC Cons: • Headband padding is not comfortable • Cannot connect to a smartphone and a PC or Mac at the same time • Noise cancelling does not offer much control

I'm sure many reviewers are going to try and compare these to Bose, Sennheiser or another high end brand but these are not in that price range at all. So ignore those reviews, look at the reviews for similar type headphones around this price. I don't think you will find any with these features and comfort and I have tried many. First off they come with no frills packaging or any fancy pouches, which are usually dust collectors anyway. The one star deduction was for the flat sound, I say flat because I like deep base and crisp highs. Don't get me wrong, they sound good but they just don't sound great. But then you will be looking at 4x the price range. Bluetooth connectivity is quick, easy and has a great distance. Mic works flawlessly and every phone call sounded great with no complaints on the other end. Spent a day working around the house, yard and garage with zero comfort issues. Watched a few videos, and listened to a ton of a different music genre's. Easy listening sounded the best as well as speech. My favorite feature of these headphones is the controls. They are plastic and a tad cheap but the ergonomics and fit are better than most high headphones I own. The active noise cancelling is decent, not great but decent. Again though for this price range I think most people will be happy. All in all, these are great headphones for the money. They feel great, sound decent and function perfectly. No bugs, quirks or any other issues.

Pros Active sound cancelling Over the ear design allows for longer listening Built in EQ options with familiar descriptions such as bright, excited,etc Options to simulate a concert hall or stadium as well as others Unique and easy to use track control slider button Wired and wireless connection options Cons No carrying case Could use some metal in the design Although you hear a lot of buzz and marketing from certain other brands for high quality noise cancelling headphones you don’t often hear anything about Sony. This doesn’t mean Sony doesn’t offer any competing product of their own. The Sony WH-CN700N headphones are a mid-level set in a series of such headphones and they offer several compelling advantages over other offerings, including a cheaper price. The first thing you notice with the WH-CN700N headphones is the large box. These headphones aren’t designed with mobility in use. They don’t fold down or offer a carrying case. You get the feeling Sony intends for them to primary stay in one location. For most that is probably just fine since over the ear headphones aren’t in any way discrete or portable anyway. With the headphones you will find a standard stereo headphone adapter for when you need them hardwired as well as a micro usb charging cable. The overall design is primarily plastic with metal accents and a bit of metal where the size adjustment is located. Although they don’t necessarily look expensive they do feel solid and like they would hold up to normal use just fine. The pads for the earpieces are made of a soft touch material that feels like a faux leather. They aren’t the softest you can get but do just fine even with extended use. The top portion is a single piece where the padded rest and main support integrated. Some support the padded portion that touches your head away from your head for improved comfort, but this single piece design still feels very comfortable. The right earpiece houses the power button, input jack, noise cancellation control button, and charge port while the left houses the volume rocker and play control slider. A nice touch is the right earpiece also includes an NFC pair option making Bluetooth pairing very easy for smartphones that support NFC. Just tap your phone to the spot and then choose yes on your phone when the pairing option comes up. Once paired with your phone you are prompted to install supporting apps. The main one, simply enough, is called Head-phones. In the app you can control surround mode, equalizer, noise cancelling, sound quality mode, and DSEE. The acronym DSEE stands for Digital Sound Enhancement Engine. DSEE is supposed to help improve the quality of songs that lose elements due to compression of digital music. If you often listen to low quality streams or heavily compressed music this feature will be more useful than if you have uncompressed or lossless compression. The equalizer has a nice touch in that the presets have names more familiar to audiophiles such as bright, excited, mellow, relaxed, etc. For most, the presets do a nice job of changing the overall feel of the source music to suit your tastes. If you prefer a more manual method, you can adjust the individual levels directly via manual or the 2 custom preset options. Overall, sound quality is very good. Many people would likely find leaving EQ flat works great as the sound reproduction of the drivers is very balanced, particularly for this price point. It’s hard to pick out any range severely lacking. The bass can hit hard or be very smooth as the song intends. For those who love bass, there is a bass boost option with can produce an almost nauseating amount of bass. Thankfully, with a flat EQ the bass is appropriate to the song without overpowering. Overall, the drivers seem capable of keeping up with your EQ adjustments to give you the exact sound you want. The big question beyond sound quality is if the noise cancelling works. The answer is it depends. If you are looking to block out all sounds it won’t do that. They will not cancel out the sound of loud machinery completely. The machinery produces mid and high-level noises that won’t be cancelled out. The instructions also recommend against use in dusty or dirty environments. Voices and other higher pitched sounds filter through about the same as any other over the ear headphones. Where the noise cancelling comes in is with lower, droning type noises. It’s not to say it won’t muffle the talking at all but what it will do is make the sounds of that fridge or vending machine humming along disappear from your workday. The effect feels very subtle. An easy way to hear it working is to turn it off and on without any music on. You will notice this feeling as if you are entering a vacuum as those low sounds just gradually fade away to silence. What is also nice is that, unlike some, the noise cancelling doesn’t seem to produce a hissing sound or degrade the overall music quality. Normally, controls aren’t something that you talk about as a standout feature on headphones. However; the design of these is unique enough and well thought out as to deserve some recognition. The volume control is a run of the mill volume rocker and the power and mode buttons are single press. What is unique and arguably the best designed control is the track control slider. It’s not a button entirely but a slider/button combination. The button protrudes slightly from the headphones to make locating easy. A press of the button controls the play/pause function but what is just a small but very nice touch is sliding the button forward or backwards will advance to the next track or go back to the prior. This feature makes regularly track control buttons just feel awkward by comparison. It is very sensitive as well but thankfully Sony recognized this and made sure the button/slider doesn’t protrude out too much to cause accidental changes. It might sound like a trivial thing but after use you might find yourself wondering why this isn’t on more headphones. If you are in the market for some good quality over the ear headphones and won’t want to break the bank on some of the ultra-high end ones, the Sony WH-CH700N might just be for you. If your budget and desire allows, they also come in even higher end versions in the 1000 series but the 700 series hits a sweet spot that should serve the majority of people perfectly.

INTRODUCTION: The Sony WH-CH700N/L are amazingly light weight & comfortable noise canceling headphones. I chose the blue model because I prefer bold colors & they look fantastic (see attached photos). I trusted Sony would deliver very good sound for the money. As a point of reference, I own a variety of premium wireless headphones & primarily listen to Master & Dynamic - MH40 Over-the-Ear Headphones, which weigh 0.7937 pounds, but feel much heavier. They cost 2X the cost of these Sony headphones. These Sony WH-CH700N/L weigh only 0.53 pounds but feel much lighter. COMFORT: Comfort reigns supreme, due to the pillowy soft ear cushions, the gentle, deeply padded head support & the light weight build. BASS: Sony has mastered the art of boosting bass with minimum distortion & these headphones are a perfect example: "Clear Bass +10" produces dynamic deep bass at a 10dB gain without distortion, even at a high volume SPL's. Great bass punch with no audible distortion! THE APPS: The Sony Connect App is very useful for selecting "Clear Bass +10" bass boost, choosing DSP for one of several venues & offers a graphic equalizer for customizing your sound. I prefer "Clear Bass +10" "ON" + tweak the high frequencies with EQ & leave the DSP venues "OFF". The Sony Connect App works in conjunction with the Sony Music Center App. Both Apps add critical features to optimize & custom tailor the sound, and each App has a 1-click transfer to lead you directly to the other App. Without the Sony Connect App & the Sony Music Center App the headphones earned 4 Stars; after a little listening & tweaking both Apps to optimize the audio, these headphones earned a resounding 5 Stars! NOISE CANCELATION: Noise Cancelation is the only feature that works well, but I would prefer user adjustable levels, rather than the headphones analyzing the noise source & canceling it at levels it determines are appropriate. This is strictly personal preference - I am not taking away a star because the system cancels noise & is very effective; I simply prefer to be in control. BATTERY LIFE: Impressive! Up to 35 hours of playback & 200 Hrs of standby time. Every 10-minutes of charging yields 1 hour of music playback. FOLD AWAY DESIGN: The headphones swivel for easy & fast storage. Great when you are deboarding a plane & you are in a rush to reach your connecting flight. DSEE: The Sony exclusive Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) restores the high frequencies to the rich detail before compression. Toggle via the aforementioned App. The improvement is stunning! BLUETOOTH OR HARD WIRE: The Bluetooth connection with Sony DSEE sounds awesome; you also have the option of directly connecting to a music source via the included 3.5mm cable. MICRO USB: These headphones include a USB to Micro USB cable for charging. Micro USB is great because it is used by most every manufacturer. It means if you forget the cable on a trip, you can pick up a cable anywhere. CONTROLS: The controls on the WH-CH700N/L are super intuitive, so you do not need to remove them from your head to skip a song or pick up a phone call. VOICE COMMANDS: One touch & you are speaking to your phone's assistant & can make calls clearly & easily. RECOMMENDATION FOR IMPROVEMENTS: 1- These are such great travel headphones, a travel case should be included. They swivel to a small package; they need a small but tough zipper case. I am in the market to buy one now, but it should have been included. 2- Add Noise Reduction Option Settings to the Sony Connect App for greater flexibility. CONCLUSION: ULTRA LIGHT = EAR DELIGHT!! I listen to the Sony WH-CH700N/L for more hours than any other headphones I own & forget I am wearing them. They earn 5 Stars & my Highest Recommendation!!

Purchased back in 2019 and currently jamming with these on as I write this review. These headphones are DURABLE. Sweat, heat, rain, falls, you name it. Still quality sound and still loud and noise cancel incredibly.

---SETUP--- The setup of the Sony WHCH700 was simple. Upon turning the headphones on, it automatically entered bluetooth pairing mode. My phone found it immediately and I was able to listen to music in under 2 minutes. If you ever have to pair a second device, just hold on the power button for 5-7 seconds and it will enter into bluetooth power mode again. ---FEATURES--- This headphones set is loaded with features. Amongst my favorite is the noise canceling button. You can turn this on or off and what it does is it “listens” to the ambient sound around you and mutes it improving your listening experience. It sounds like you put mute on the world and you hear nothing but the audio coming from your headset. Convenient if you plan on listening to audio on an airplane, a mall, or any other audio-busy location. If you download the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can also customize several equalizer settings such as treble boost, bass boost, and others. I left mine on vocal, as I listen to podcasts more often and they do sound more pleasant than with my other headphones. ---PERFORMANCE--- The performance of this headphones set is excellent. It’s sound is something to rival and the equalizer and extra settings in the app really make it go the extra mile. It has a 35 hour lasting battery, that’s almost an entire work-week of continuous sound. Phones calls sound clear (and noise cancellation makes it easier to hear the calls) and the person on the other end of the call could hear me clearly as well. If you’re running low on battery but want to use your headset, a 10 minute charge gives you 1 hour of use. ---EXPECTATIONS--- The product meets my expectations in all aspects except for one. First, the positives: The headset is light, comfortable, and adjustable. I can wear these over a cap and they can still reach my ears, which they cover completely without pressing against my ear. As a person who wears glasses, I didn’t find them uncomfortable with the glasses on. However, these are Sony brand wireless headphones. They do include a non-wireless option, which is to connect them with the included auxiliary cable (2 rings visible). I hooked them up to my Xbox One controller to test the Dolby Atmos and they sound like a charm. However, I connected them via auxiliary cable to try out the sound on a PS4, a Sony product, and I couldn’t get them to produce a sound. I tried connecting them via bluetooth for audio, and though the PS4 recognized the bluetooth headset by the name of the model, it wouldn’t actually give me any audio either. I deduct 1 star for this reason. ---VALUE--- The price for the headphones in terms of value is comfortable and worth it as it rivals its main competitor by 100 dollars under. ---APPROVAL--- I highly recommend this product for people who want to use this headset strictly for listening on their phone, tablet, or other mobile device for long periods of time. I wouldn’t recommend them if you plan to use them for gaming consoles.

These headphones are great in that they offer decent noise cancellation for the price. The WH-CH700N is the cheapest noise-cancelling wireless SONY headphones you can get. I had this when it was on sale for $99. The fit is very comfortable. Pairing is super easy, and all functions can be controlled on the headphone itself. The noise cancelling feature can be turned on and off. The battery life is impressive, about 35 hours of playback time. The bass is enjoyable, the mids aren’t emphasized but the highs are well pronounced. Excellent when you listen to classical music and very impressive on live recordings as well. This Sony headphones offer everything you could want out of a pair of wireless headphones.

Goal, solid sounding headphones for multiple uses including Gym, around the house, and work. I FINALLY found suitable headphones in the WH-CH700N. I’ve purchased JBL, Ausdom, Soundcore Anker, AKG, and Monster and tested several more at Best Buy. First, I have no desire to spend $300. Second, I cannot tolerate in ear. I have tried. The Soundcore Spirit Pro almost worked but having something in my ear is annoying. Their sound is solid. Comfort: The WH1000XM3 were more comfortable but 3.5 x the cost. Bose, Beats, and JBL weren’t as comfortable. I truly liked the JBL Everest 310 but the stability was horrible. No way could I work out with those. The WH-CH700N blew the JBL away in comfort. Soft ear pads. Comfortable headband. Sound: Incredible!!!! I listen to mostly hard rock streamed from Pandora, Google, and Amazon via a Galaxy S8+. These sound great. During my testing, I discovered that Google and Amazon music sound considerably better than Pandora when playing the same song but I digress. Crisp highs and punchy bass with solid vocals. Lil Jon circa 2002 sounded solid. I’m out of touch with rap. The Sony headphone app’s equalizer greatly enhanced the sound per my taste. The bass enhancement works!!! Sports: I’m not a cross fit guy. I lift weights and walk/jog. 5’9” 149lbs. The JBL, Ausdom, & Monster headphones would slip off went I bent over. The WH-CH700N does not. While testing in Best Buy, the WH-CH700N had far less wiggle when shaking my head. I’ve jogged with no issues. Today, I worked on bent over rows and they did not slip off. Very little shifting which was great. I love the app’s battery indicator. I got these on sale and couldn’t be happier!!!!!!

I love love love my Sony headphones. I use them specifically for running. They're comfortable and not too tight over my ears. They're perfect and stay in place. The sound quality and battery life are on point. I don't use the noise cancelling feature at all because I need to be fully aware of my surroundings when I'm running. I would buy these over and over again.

These headphones are a steal at $99 and I am not sure they can be beat at the sale price. However, I’m not sure they are worth the retail price of $200. Sound quality is great on these! Deep bass, strong mids, and crisp highs. Sound can be customized in the Sony headphone app(I personally like the “excited” sound profile. These things are comfortable. Soft ear cups with plenty of room. My ears do get a little warm, but I have no issue wearing this for hours at a time. Bluetooth connection is solid and have no issue walking around my house/office and keeping connection to my phone. Controls on the ear cups are simple and easy to use. The play/pause and skip track rocker/button is a great alternative to the combo volume/track skip that other companies use. Noise cancelling is ok. I think it does a good job of blocking continuous droning sounds, like a fan, but struggles to block voices. With music playing and the noise cancelling on, I can’t hear anything going on around me. Again, at $99 this is great performance. Battery life is awesome! I have no issue getting 30+ hours with these. I have two negatives though. 1) slow charge time - 6 hours from 0-100! 2) micro usb instead of usb c Ultimately, skipping usb c isn’t a big deal and the slow charge time isn’t either since the battery life is so strong, but it is something to be aware of. Something worth mentioning is that these support aptX and AAC. Watching movies on Netflix/TV/Vudu I didn’t notice any lag. These are great for watching movies, but I do enjoy the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless a little more for this purpose(the bass is crazy!). Buy these without hesitation if they are on sale for around $100, but I’d say spend more at their $200 retail price or save some money and get the $150 Sennheiser 4.50 NC.

I bought these headphones to work from home during the COVID crisis and they have been well worth it. The sound quality is very good. They are very comfortable and lightweight. I use them throughout the day for various webex meetings. I haven't received any complaints about the clarity of my voice which tells me that the mics that are located on both sides of the headphones are working well. There is an app available called Sony Headphones Connect which is pretty neat. From within the app you can see the battery level of the headphones, adjust settings (surround sound, equalizer, etc), see what's playing and change the function of the programmable button. Outside of connecting with bluetooth there is also an option to connect via NFC. It also has a noise canceling feature, which seems to work fine. My use case has only been on webex meetings and listening to music. This is a pretty good price point for a solid set of wireless headphones.

I really dig these headphones a lot. They’re easy to use right out of the box. They sound really good, just an all around awesome experience in the ears. They fit extremely comfortable. My only gripe is that I wish the volume went a little louder - I have them constantly on the highest level with almost everything they’ve synced up to. Some devices will give a little push on the volume, allowing me to turn it down a notch. But overall, I really like to have some push in the volume area, I like my tunes turned up and making me feel the sounds. I also like to have a little more room to either kick it up a bit, or just listen at a casual level. With this set, there’s just max volume, or there’s really no point in the lesser levels. If you’re like me, love listening to your music loud, and want some extra control over the volume - definitely look at some other models first - Beats by Dre or SkullCandy have equivalents with similar price ranges. With that minor gripe, I can say for $120, and for most individuals - this set is great.

Picked these up on sale for $99. I gave it a "good" rating for the sale price and it's features. They are great sounding headphones, very comfortable and connect with ease to my Apple iPhone, iPad and even my old iMac. For some reason I am having trouble connecting this to my Sony Playstation 4 however - which doesn't quite make sense since PS4 has bluetooth and it's a Sony. (Not using this to play games - there is no mic - but to listen to DVDs, BluRay, digital content) I still have to look into this, it's possible I may be doing something wrong. The battery life is excellent. The free Sony Headphones app that you can download for iPhone (and Google) is not bad, you can choose different sound presets for the headphones, also customize the sound with a simple graphic equalizer adjustment. The noise cancelation though, to be honest I cannot hear the difference when this is activated and when it's off. Only way I even know it's on is when the female voice tells me it is when I press the NC button. It simply sounds the same to me on and off. I've tried other brands - like the more expensive Bose or even the higher priced Sony 1000XM2 - you can clearly hear the noise cancelation, those clearly wipe out all background noise. These Sony headphones just don't do this. Activating noise cancelation with my TV on very low volume, you can still hear the TV other background noises. When I turn NC off, again..the sound just seems the same. So that part is slightly disappointing. I will be looking on "Cyber Monday" to see if the higher priced Sony - 1000XM2 will be discounted more, or even Bose (which is sometimes rare for that brand). Overall, for the regular price of $199 I would say pass on these -- but for $99, the wireless, good sound ("NC" or not), battery, comfort, 100% Apple and Siri compatibility is a decent price.

I loved this headphone, very light weighted, comfortable, long battery life and the price is right. The price on Black Friday can't be ignore, bought this for my son to watch and play game online. He loved the button noise canceling off, that way he can hear us talking to him while playing game. I have own all sort of head phones from SONY, they are high quality, built with the mind set of sound quality. Most BT out are muffled, including Beats, BOSE, JBL at the end I always ending up owning a SONY. Way to go SONY.

I got them on sale, but feel they would be great even at the regular $199 price point. I love the battery life. I've had them about a month and have only had to charge them once so far. The noise cancelling works very well; I hear very little outside noise when I'm at the gym, which helps me focus on my workout. Sweat does build quickly around my ears, so I do make sure to wipe them off periodically during my workout. They've very light weight and comfortable. I generally prefer earbuds, but I got used to them very quickly. I downloaded the companion app and I love being able to tweak music/videos to the way I want to hear them. Highly recommended!

I luckily got this whole it was on clearance for $130 but it 100% was worth the money. Easy to connect to difference devices, adjustable EQ with the app, the noise cancelation helps BUT doesn't block out everything. The bluetooth is legit, I can walk across the house from my phone so no complaints there. Battery life is great, longest I've used it was a whole day with no charge & it was still on medium at the end of the day. Feels comfortable on my head, I have big ears but it cuffs just right around my ears. Talking on the phone my friends could hear me crystal clear with minimal noise in the back.

The Sony WH-CH700N wireless headphones were exactly what I wanted. When they were on sale Best Buy for essentially half price, I couldn’t resist buying them. They are very comfortable and sound great. And yes, they do cancel out a substantial amount of background noise if you enable that feature. The sound quality is excellent. They have a phenomenal battery life of around 18 hours on a full charge. I had no difficulty pairing them with my iPhone, iPad, and home TV (with Bluetooth transmitter). There is absolutely nothing negative for me to say about these. However, if you want to wear them outdoors and you sweat a lot, your sweat might cause premature deterioration of the ear cuffs. I use an in-ear Bluetooth headphone when I’m outdoors and sweating. I’ve seen a few reviews that questioned their noise canceling properties. They certainly reduce ambient noise considerably when that feature is enabled, but they do not totally cancel out all ambient noise. I’m not sure if any headphones are capable of canceling all ambient noise. So don’t equate “noise canceling” with 100% silence. Also, they come with a special app for fine tuning the sound quality. Be sure to read your instructions so you understand all of the features of these remarkable headphones. I would say they are not a great bargain if you pay full retail price. However, if you can catch them on sale for 50% off, grab them !!
