Is not Noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Premium Noise Canceling at Less Than Premium Price
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has long made, in my opinion, the best noise canceling headphones with their top of the line XM3 line. I have the XM3’s and they are hands down my favorite over the ear headphones. Which brings me to the new Sony 720N’s. The most important factor about these headphones is that the top-notch noise canceling that Sony is known for, has trickled down to their middle range tier. Are the 720N/s as good as noise canceling as the more expensive XM3’s? No but the noise canceling performance is pretty close. If you want premium noise canceling performance, at a less than premium price, then these headphones are very worth considering. In the box are the headphones, a USB-C charging cable, and an audio cable. A carrying case is not included. I immediately noticed how light these headphones are when I first handled the box. Once out of the box how light they are is even more noticeable. The black finish looks and feels good. I could barely tell that I had them on. It would not be accurate to describe the finish as cheap, but it lacks the premium finish of more expensive headphones and is what I would expect at this price point. As far as sound quality goes, these headphones rock! They deliver hard-hitting, full range sound. Everything you would expect out of Sony headphones. The Sony App can be used to further configure the sound and offers an equalizer. The available codes are SBC, and AAC. No APT codecs are included. Sony does include a feature called Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE), which enhances compressed sound. Battery life has improved greatly in the past few years, and these headphones are no exception. The battery power is an amazing 30+ hours. These headphones are Bluetooth multipoint capable. These Sony headphones are perfect for someone who needs noise canceling capability, but are on a budget. They are also a great choice for a second pair of headphones that can be left at a secondary location such as work, or for any other place you don’t want to take your expensive headphones.

Excellent Performance at Affordable Price
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony is one of my favorite brands; and I’ve never gotten a dud, be it TV, BD player, speakers, etc. The WH-C720N headphones uphold my confidence in Sony. When removing them from the box, you’ll quickly discover how lightweight they are. That and the ergonomic over the ear design make for excellent head/ear comfort. I wear hearing aids, so in-the-ear buds aren’t an option. Charge the battery, and you are all set. My music source for these phones is one of my Echo Shows, and the Bluetooth pairing was done in seconds. Choosing a mix of music types, I put the phones to the test. From first to last, the sound was great. Channel separation and balance, as well as clarity are superb. I was hearing musical voices that I had not heard previously, even with hearing aids. In addition to the excellent sound, there are more great features. Noise cancelling isn’t 100%, but I’ve never had phones that were. That said, cancelling is at an acceptable level. A full charge provides a lot of listening time. The longest consecutive time I’ve used the phones was about 45 minutes, and there was still power to spare when I shut it down. The Bluetooth connection works so well that I can roam all over my two-story house, out on the deck, and in my yard. If connected with a mobile phone, making/receiving hands-free phone calls is no problem. Sony scores with another winner. When the weather is nice, I look forward to a lot of deck time with these headphones playing my music. They really fill the bill, and at an affordable price. Get yourself a pair and enjoy your music indoors or outdoors.

Low cost, big sound, and lots of customizability
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WHCH720N Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones are Sony's low-cost ANC Bluetooth headphones, but they deliver sound and customization that punches well above their price range. I've tried these headphones on all kinds of music as well as phone calls, and found them to be a very decent set for my needs. When the EQ is dialed in, the bass response keeps things tight and well-rounded, and the trebles get plenty of separation and space to live in. The headphones are lightweight with a battery that holds enough juice for many hours of listening. The ear pads are very soft, and stay comfortable during long listening sessions. as a person who wears glasses, I value that comfort a lot. The ANC isn't as complete as you'll get with a higher-end set of headphones, but it's totally reasonable, and with music playing—even at not-too-loud volumes—the sounds of the world around you disappear. The WHCH720N's also pair with Sony's "Headphones connect" mobile app, which offers tons of additional functionality. Of course there's custom EQ and firmware updates, but you can also use the app to configure spatial audio and other enhancements that intelligently learn your listening behaviors and tune the sound to you. My few gripes with the WHCH720N are these: they're lightweight to a fault, and feel just a bit fragile. There's also no way to fold the headset up into a smaller form. The cans swivel and the headband adjusts, but they don't offer the portability that some people may demand. Adding to the problem of portability, they don't come with a carrying bag, so if you want to take these on the go, consider getting a case or be ready to wear them around your neck when you're not listening.

Great set of headphones
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 2nd pair of premium Sony headphones. I have to say, this model did not disappoint! I've been wearing these in a variety of different environments both indoor and outdoor generally with a lot of background noise to really push the limits of the noise cancelling and it is superb. You can really enjoy whatever music or podcast you listen to without being distracted. In the box comes a USB-A to USB-C charging cable and a 3.5mm audio cable to connect to any of those devices still lingering around with a headphone jack. Nice touch if you'd like to bluetooth to your phone and hard wire to a PC. I often listen to music from my PC while I work, so it came in handy. Wearing the headset is very comfortable and lightweight. Great for taking the dog for a walk while jamming to some tunes. The companion app is great for setting up equalizer levels and customizing the sound to your liking if you're an audiophile. Buttons are conveniently placed and easy to use effortlessly once you get used to them, though I've never had an issue with that on any headset I've ever used, so this is par for the course. Battery life is extraordinary and charge time is pretty fast. Also, simple connection process tested on both a Google Pixel 6 and iPhone 14. Overall, this is an excellent set of headphones in what I would say a mid-range price point. Definitely recommend if you're not wanting to head up to the high end but the low end isn't cutting it for you. You'll get your money's worth here.

snapped with regular use
|Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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).
