    Underwhelming sound, does not fit snug on head. Noise reduction isn’t great in a large crowd. Expected little better from Sony, even on a lesser headset

      Hi SabienAce,
      Thank you for your time writing this review. We're sorry to hear that we were not able to meet your expectations with the sound quality, fit, and noise canceling features of your WHCH720N headphones. This is definitely not the news nor experience we want you to have with our product. Allow us to help turn this to a better experience.

      Please make sure to wear the headphones properly. For stable fit, adjust the headband and the earpads properly. This should give you a firmer hold, better sound, and noise canceling experience.

      Please refer to this link with steps to resolve issues with the headphones:

      If low sound quality, or noise or unusual sound can be heard on the headphones:

      If the effect of noise canceling is not sufficient:

    I purchased this headphone set to replace an old pair that simply stopped connecting to my devices. It does not cancel noise at all and it is difficult to tell if it is on or not.

      Hi CelesteR, we sincerely apologize for the trouble you're experiencing with your new WH-CH720N headphones. It's certainly not the experience we want you to have, especially after your previous pair stopped connecting. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we want to help you resolve this as quickly as possible.

      To troubleshoot noise canceling on your headphones, first check the "NC/AMB" button to ensure it's set to noise canceling mode. You should hear a confirmation or see an indicator light change when it's active.
      Make sure the earcups fit properly for optimal performance, as a good seal is essential. Adjust the headphones if needed.
      Also, we highly recommend downloading the Sony | Sound Connect app on your smartphone. This app allows you to customize and control various settings on your WH-CH720N headphones, including the noise canceling and ambient sound modes.

      Additionally, we would like to share a link that provides an explanation of how noise-canceling technology works. We hope you find it helpful! https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00203389?utm_source=glean

      If further assistance is needed, please contact our technical support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      Thank you for being a valued Sony customer and for your feedback.
      Best regards,
      Estefany Sony_US

      Hello AmyB,
      While we are happy that you appreciate the audio quality and noise canceling feature of our Sony WHCH720N, we're sorry that you are having some discomfort using it and had to return and exchanged it for a different brand. This is not usually the case with our headphone. Please know that we have online Help Guide to address this concern like adjusting the headband to your comfort. Unfortunately, we can no longer assist you. We hope you still consider Sony in your future purchase.

      Sincerely,
      Marco Sony_US

      Hi PaulS,

      We are sorry to hear that the noise canceling feature of your Sony headphones didn't work. This is definitely not the customer experience we want you to have. Please make sure you are turning the noise canceling correctly by pressing the NC/AMB (noise canceling/Ambient Sound Mode) button. Check out this link for more details: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2966/v1/en/contents/TP1000776935.html. Take note that the noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. When the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app is turned on, the wearer's actions, like walking or running, are detected. The noise canceling function is automatically adjusted and the Ambient Sound Mode may be activated according to these actions. To make the most of the noise canceling function, turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it. If you use the headset at a place where it is restricted to use Bluetooth devices such as on an airplane, you can use the headset as noise canceling headphones while the headset is connected to a device via the supplied headphone cable and the headset is turned on: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2966/v1/en/contents/TP1000777054.html.

      Hi Watson,
      Thank you for time writing this review. We're sorry to hear we were not able to meet your expectations with the WHCH720N headphones. Allow us to help make this a better experience. If you feel discomforts while wearing the unit, put on the headset with the earpads fitting snugly over your ears, adjust the slider to a length where the headband touches the top of your head and adjust the orientation of the left and right units so that the earpads fit snugly all around your ears. If you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head, resulting in discomfort or a weak noise canceling effect. For reference: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2966/v1/en/contents/TP1000781372.html

      If you haven't yet, please download the Sony Headphone| Connect app where you can set or customize the Equalizer/CLEAR BASS setting. For more details: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2966/v1/en/contents/TP1000776844.html

      Thank you for your feedback, WILLIAMS. We're sorry to hear that you are disappointed about not being able to have sound on both your television and your WH-CH720N headphones at the same time.

      This is not the experience we aim to deliver. The ability to use both the TV speakers and a Bluetooth device for audio simultaneously is a feature that is dependent on the television's specific capabilities. Many TVs are designed to only transmit audio to a single output at a time. We recommend checking your television's audio settings to see if there is an option to enable multiple audio outputs.

      If you are unable to find the setting, we suggest consulting your television's user manual or contacting the manufacturer's support team for more information.

      We appreciate you choosing Sony and for sharing your valuable feedback with us.

      Best regards,
      Gus

      Hi Joerey,

      We regret to hear that you had an issue with our WHCH720N headphones and you had to return them. Static and other Bluetooth connection issue may experience if the user is near a wireless LAN, where a microwave oven is used, electromagnetic waves are generated, etc., and can easily be isolated and resolved. We take all user input seriously and will make sure your comments reach the appropriate person. We hope you will consider Sony again in your future purchase.

      HI Mileabv,

      You're absolutely right! While the Sony WH-CH720N offers good noise cancellation for its price point, if you're looking to step up significantly in that area, our premium WH-1000XM5 (or the even newer WH-1000XM6) headphones would be the next recommendation.

      They feature our industry-leading noise-canceling technology, designed to block out a much wider range of distractions for a truly immersive listening experience.
      Thanks for considering Sony.
