I AM IMPRESSED

The product arrived well packaged. There was a delivery delay but it was not horrendous and to be expected given that it was ordered during Parime Days, The headphones arrived almost fully charged, Set up was relatively easy, but you really do need to use their app to complete the set up process. The app also allows you to change some settings and select equalizer settings that work for you. The switches have a nice feel to them. They do have raised areas designed to help you find the correct switch by feel. There are times however when I find that it is easier to adjust the volume using the phone or I remove the headphone to make a change. This is a very subjective items so you may not have the same issue. No stars were deducted for that reason. These are an on ear device. It was not uncomfortable to me, but it did take some getting used to and here again...Personal preference comes into play. On a warm and humid day you may experience some sweating where the ear cup rides on your ear. That may allow for some movement / shifting of the headphone depending on what you are doing. They may thus not work out well for use doing exercising as an example. The sound quality is great at this price point. I have Bose ear buds. The sound from this device is not Bose quality and you should not expect it to be Bose quality. It is good to very good however. The equalizer settings allow you to control all five typical equalizer settings PLUS a separate adjustment for th4 bass. Paring was easy and fast. The connection remains stable most of the time. There is a selection that allows you to select either top quality sound or a more stable connection. I chose sound quality an the vast majority of the time the connection was stable with no noise present. There may be times however, that due to local conditions / interference you may have a little popping or very brief drop out. I have worn these headphones a LOT since they arrived and while I have experienced that, it was very limited. Now I also have a lot of electric / electronic devices in use on my property and that will may explain what I experienced. I did have some interference from some household devices when I wass very close to them. The battery life seems to be very good. I have worn m for several hours and the voice system still indicates 100% at startup. Unlike my Bose products the battery monitoring system is not linear where it will call out 100%, 90%, 80%b etc... It may call out 100% until the battery hits 50% (As an example) and then te voice system will drop from stating 100% to 50%. I do not see that as an issue or negative given the very long stated by the manufacturer battery life, and I have no disagreement with their claims about battery life aty this point in time, So again...Thus far I am very pleased with the fit, quality, and sound quality of these headphones. Do bed aware that tey are NOT noise cancelling. There will be some outside noise reduction dur to the ear cups of course.

Exceptional Value and Performance!

As a frequent traveler and avid music enthusiast, I sought an affordable pair of wireless headphones that could deliver reliable performance without compromising on essentials like sound quality and comfort. The Sony WH-CH520, in the striking blue finish, exceeded my expectations and has swiftly become my go-to choice for daily use. From the moment I unboxed them, the build quality impressed me—lightweight at just 147 grams, with a durable plastic construction that feels premium for the price point. The on-ear design provides a secure fit without excessive pressure, making them ideal for extended listening sessions during commutes or workouts. The adjustable headband and soft ear cushions ensure a personalized fit, and the foldable structure enhances portability, fitting neatly into my bag alongside my laptop. Audio performance is where these headphones truly shine. Equipped with Sony’s 30mm drivers, they produce a balanced sound profile with clear mids and highs, complemented by a punchy bass that handles genres from classical to electronic with finesse. The DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed audio files effectively, restoring details lost in streaming. Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity is stable, supporting multipoint pairing for seamless switching between my phone and tablet. Calls are crisp thanks to the integrated microphone, which effectively suppresses background noise—a boon for remote work. Battery life is outstanding, offering up to 50 hours of playback on a single charge, with a quick 3-minute top-up yielding 1.5 hours of use. In my testing, it consistently lasted over a week with moderate daily use before needing a recharge via the included USB-C cable. The Sony Headphones Connect app adds further value, allowing EQ customization and firmware updates for ongoing improvements. While the on-ear cushions may warm slightly during very prolonged wear in hot climates, this is a minor trade-off given the overall excellence. Particularly noteworthy is their suitability for late-night entertainment; the passive noise isolation ensures immersive listening without disturbing household members, allowing me to enjoy podcasts, movies, or music in bed long after others have retired. I wholeheartedly recommend these headphones to anyone prioritizing affordability, functionality, and style. They have transformed my listening routine, and I anticipate years of reliable service ahead. Five stars without reservation.

Más de lo que esperaba por el precio

Muy cómodos, en mi trabajo participo en muchas reuniones virtuales y hay días en que los traigo puestos tal vez 5 o 6 horas seguidas sin quitármelos y no me molestan, a veces hasta se me olvida que los traigo. Excelente conectividad bluetooth con el celular y laptop, se pueden conectar ambos a la vez. En el gimnasio los he usado corriendo y haciendo todo tipo de ejercicios y son cómodos, ligeros y no se mueven. Los he sudado y la cubierta de las almohadillas no se ha dañado nada. El audio es buenísimo, muy bien nivelado y aunque no tienen cancelación de ruido, con un volumen moderado y por las mismas almohadillas, aisla lo suficientemente bien como para que los ruidos o música del gimnasio, por ejemplo, queden muy en el fondo. Nunca ha sido necesario subir al máximo el volumen. Además con la app puedes ecualizar a tu gusto, también recomiendo, si usas Spotify, ecualizar ahí para tener la mejor experiencia posible. La batería dura muchísimo, en 3 meses de uso usándolos en promedio 3 o 4 horas diarias y solo los he puesto a cargar 3 veces. Cargan muy rápido también. El único detalle que les he encontrado es que con mi SmartTV Hisense, jugando Playstation tiene un delay de medio segundo o 1 segundo, y con Youtube cada 40 segundos o 1 minuto "se brinca" o "se come" como 1 segundo tanto del audio como del video. Pero para mi no ha sido problema porque realmente solo los uso para escuchar música desde mi celular y para tener llamadas de trabajo. En resumen, son cómodos, lucen bien, sobrios y de buena calidad, muy buen audio y excelente rendimiento de batería.

Best quality, hands-down!

I went through a half dozen pair of other options that were less pricey before settling on these. Other versions, I tried lasted, at most, a couple of months, before they broke. One pair broke while I was removing it from my head. Then I found these Sony headphones, which were a total game changer! I still have the first pair I purchased, which have lasted me for more than a year; and I recently purchased a second pair in another color for the office. They are such good quality, very comfortable, easy to adjust to fit children and adults, the sound quality is phenomenal, and they are easy to pair with your devices! I have used them for everything from Zoom calls, to music, listening, and beyond, without any issues. Several people at the office have ordered themselves a pair because they’re so great, and they have loved them as well! If you’re struggling to find headphones that last and/or can survive your kids’ wear and tear, look no further! These are well worth the money and they last, and look great! So far, I’ve ordered these in the blue color and the beige/cream color, and both are lovely, and do not look cheap at all. Highly recommend!
