Sony WH-CH520 Wireless Headphones Bluetooth On-Ear Headset with Microphone, Black New

I bought these because I needed something that would allow me to enjoy music, pod casts and many other videos without being tied to my desk computer or iPhone. One main reason is I needed something that sounded good but nothing overly priced like my AirPods Pro that only get about 2 hours of listening. These are rated for up to 50 hours. And the best part was the fact they were inexpensive connect to more than one bluetooth device (my M4 Mac mini and my iPhone 14) in addition I needed something to be able to have a conversation if my phone rings while I am on my Mac. and these have worked so far flawlessly.Set up was a bit more then I expected I figured connect via bluetooth and off I would go but no, I did have to download the app to fine-tune the Headphones which wasn't a big deal. While they are not of the highest quality they are perfect for me and my listening needs.Incoming calls were a breeze and everyone I spoke to so far while wearing them had no issues hearing me. Now, I am a bit amphrehensive about the battery life because at the whole day yesterday of wearing them the battery monitor on my Mac claim the headphones were still 100%. and if that is true then they are even better than I was expecting battery wise. I did recharge them over night because I wasn't sure if the Mac was telling me the truth.The voice interaction with my phone calls were very clear and I have no complaints.The fit is really nice if you ask me and they are very light weight, after wearing them almost all day I would forget they were on and have to take em off.They are very comfortable to wear and I noticed just how light they were when I pulled them off and carried them over to where I plugged them in to re-charge.Of course it's only been a couple of days so, if I can edit this review at a later time I will do so, if there is a need to. I mean after only a few days these are brand new so I do need to give them more time. Surprisingly, my ears have not began to sweat with them being on all day, although. I do have issues with my ears being itchy from time to time but that's not because of the headset. That's just my ears.For the price the quality for me is really good.I may listen to a song or two but, I mainly wanted something to last longer than 2 hours if I watch YouTube or other streaming videos on my computer or iPhone. As well, they release my nice wired set that I used, I got tired of tripping over the wire and my office chair rolling over the cord and getting tangled up. Plus the added convenience of being able to get up from my desk and walk around my Apartment when I need to while I am listening to something is what I was aiming for.The quality again for me is really good, I am not a sound engineer so I could not tell you where on the spectrum of sound they fit but for the price to me they do the job I expect of them. All around a good pair of headphones for the price.Battery life may not be up to 50 hours because the battery monitor remained at 100% even though I had them on almost all day. But, they certainly lasted well past the 2 - 5 hours of wearing them compared to a pair of Apple AirPod Pros. I still want to kick myself for buying the Apple ones not realizing for the price they didn't last very long on a single charge.I highly recommend.

Looking for a reliable pair of wireless headphones that won't break the bank? The Sony WH-CH520 might be just what you need. These on-ear headphones offer a compelling blend of impressive battery life, decent sound quality, and user-friendly features, making them a strong contender in the budget-friendly wireless headphone market.One of the standout features of the WH-CH520 is its exceptional battery life. Sony claims up to 50 hours of playback on a single charge, and real-world usage largely backs this up. This means you can go for days, or even a week, without needing to reach for the charging cable, making them perfect for commutes, long study sessions, or just everyday listening around the house. And if you do find yourself running low, a quick 3-minute charge will give you a a commendable 1.5 hours of listening time.In terms of sound, the WH-CH520 delivers a balanced and enjoyable audio experience. While they may not satisfy the most discerning audiophiles, the sound is clear and detailed enough. The bass is present without being overpowering, and the mids and highs are well-represented. Plus, with the Sony | Headphones Connect app, you can customize the EQ to your liking, a feature not always found in this price range.Comfort-wise, the on-ear design is lightweight and generally pleasant to wear for extended periods. However, as with most on-ear headphones, some users might find they cause a bit of ear fatigue or don't provide the same level of noise isolation as over-ear models. This is something to consider if you plan on using them in noisy environments or for very long listening sessions.Other noteworthy features include a built-in microphone for hands-free calls, which performs adequately in quieter settings, and multipoint connection, allowing you to seamlessly switch between two devices. The build quality, while predominantly plastic, feels sturdy enough for daily use. It's worth noting that these headphones do not feature a 3.5mm audio jack, so wireless is your only option.Overall, the Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones offer excellent value for their price. If you prioritize long battery life, good sound quality with customization options, and the convenience of wireless listening, these headphones are a fantastic choice for everyday use. While they may lack some of the premium features of more expensive models, they deliver a solid performance that is sure to please most casual listeners.
