    I was super excited to get these in the mail today considering all the positive reviews and Sony statement that they are noise canceling. The name of the product includes the words noise canceling, but I can assure you that they are in fact not. I can hear the vents in my car blowing I can hear other music over the top of what I'm listening to. I could not possibly be more disappointed. They sound nice if you don't need to drown out other people's noise, but if you do keep looking. I'm going to have to go through the hassle of sending them back. I am so disappointed because the closest Best buy is more than an hour's drive away.

    Never had any issues with my Sony XM3’s or XM4’s, but the rotating piece broke on these headphones after only 8 months. After going though reviews I found out I’m not the only one. This it’s not covered under the 1yr Sony warranty after contacting support, even though it seems to be a known issue. I would look elsewhere or buy the Geek Squad warranty (although there’s not much they could do in repairs here since it’s snapped).

    The headphones are fine. They have a good sound quality, battery lasts a lot and the noise cancellation works (not as good as the xm4s). What I don't like is that they have sound leak because I can't use them around other people without them hearing the songs I'm listening to. They do their job, but I think I could have found a similar product for cheaper.

      Hi MarT,

      Thank you for telling us about your experience with your WH-CH720N headphones. While we're glad that you like most of the features, we're sorry to hear you are having some sound leakage issues when listening with these headphones. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. With closed-back and over-the-ear design of these headphones, you can ensure that the sound leakage should be very minimal. However, in a quiet room, some degree of sound leakage may still occur depending on individual factors such as fit and the volume at which you are listening to your music or other audio. To prevent sound leakage, make sure to adjust the slider to find your ideal fit and enjoy hours of comfortable listening. Additionally, reducing the volume level can also help to minimize sound leakage.

      If you need further assistance regarding your concern, please feel free to contact us and we'll be more than happy to assist you. You may send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following:

      Hi JoeyWhodat,
      Thank you for your time writing this review. We're sorry to hear that we were not able to meet your full expectations with your WHCH720N headphones. Allow to help turn this to a better experience.

      For low sound level, please try some solutions below:
      Adjust the volume of the headset and the connected device.
      Connect the Bluetooth device to the headset once again.
      Reset the headset.
      Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again.
      * If the sound is still low even after adjusting the volume on the connected device, adjust the volume with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.

      For the bass sound, this usually depends on the source that you're playing and audio device that you are using.You can use the equalizer function of the Sony Headphones Connect app to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. Some of these issues can also be fixed by adjusting the equalizer function or the bass sound settings of the connected device.

      Hi AllenA,
      Thank you for reaching out to us. We're sorry if your new WHCH720N headphones keeps disconnecting from your iPhone and TV. Allow us to help troubleshoot the problem. For optimum performance, please make sure that the headphones software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements.

      Bluetooth communications may be disabled, or noise or audio dropout may occur under the following conditions.
      When there is a human body between the headset and the Bluetooth device
      When this is the case, turn the Bluetooth device to face the same direction as the antenna of the headset to improve the Bluetooth communications.
      When there is an obstacle, such as metal or a wall, between the headset and the Bluetooth device
      In places with wireless LAN, where a microwave oven is used, electromagnetic waves are generated, etc.
      Where there are other wireless communication audio devices or other people nearby, such as in train station premises or on a crowded train

      You may try some solutions below that may help resolve this issue:
      Ensure that the headphones and connecting device are within the Bluetooth range(10 m (32.8 ft.)). Set the headphones to “Priority on stable connection”
      Remove any obstacles between the antenna of the connecting Bluetooth device and the built-in antenna of the headset.
      Reset the headset.
      Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again.
