    Is not Noise canceling

    I just wasted $160 on headphones that aren’t even noise canceling. And the words are in the product name. I have settings set to noise canceling on the app, I double checked everything on the settings. Yet I’m sitting in a cafe and can hear everyone talking around me. And of course I missed the window to return the headphones. I hadnt tested out the noise canceling in a setting where it wasn’t already silent. So once I was in a slightly noisier place, of course they don’t work and of course it’s too late for a refund. Don’t waste your money on these. Subpar audio.

    The older model was better. You can only connect one device to this model at a time. Also the soft plastic makes it feel cheap. A plus is it fully charges in lest than an hour and the noise csncellation is good.

    I had this for all of one day before deciding that it had to be returned. Making sure they were fully charged, updated with the latest firmware and then repaired to my phone, they still would not stop dropping the connection. When switched the sound from prioritizing quality to stability and it still randomly did it. A chime would kick in indicating that connection had been lost and it would immediately reconnect but this stopped sound playback and worse, did not automatically resume it after reconnecting. I came in and got the Soundcore Q45s instead. They haven't dropped once and have LDAC as a codec option.

    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).

    They were great right up until they were out of warranty. After that, the headphones no longer charged despite trying multiple different chargers and outlets. I reached out to customer service and was told I could make an appointment, pay for a diagnostic test to be run and then pay for repairs. Not worth it. Wouldn't recommend and won't be buying again.

      Hi Netty,
      Thank you for your time writing this review. We're sorry to hear your discomforts while wearing the headphones. The WHCH720N have a lightweight design with swivel earcups, adjustable headband, and soft ear pads for comfort which could be advantageous for extended periods of use. However, we do not recommend wearing these headphones while heavy sweating as this unit is not waterproof. If water or a foreign object enters the unit, the headphones might damage. We suggest to give your ears and headphones a chance to air out by taking breaks during extended listening sessions. We appreciate and value your feedback as we always aim to provide the best experience possible. Thanks again for purchasing Sony! - Kris Sony_US

    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:
