Sure, regarding weight, you can go lighter with noise-canceling earbuds, but not all of us have the hots for putting Mentos-looking buds up the ear canal. Some prefer to rock traditional over-ear headphones and that’s completely normal. Like all things tech, prices for headphones can get to the Moon in no time – the sky’s the limit. Right now, we’re talking about a great performing mid-ranger, though.
The WH-CH720N employs Sony’s Integrated Processor V1 for an enhanced noise-canceling experience while delivering on the comfort and design front. Longer listening sessions should not be a concern, since the pair does offer a combination of synthetic leather and urethane materials, as well as “optimum” ear pad structure and dimensions. There’s also the Dual Noise Sensor technology, which should allow you to “enjoy more music and less background noise”, per Sony.
Customization is a must, and Sony delivers on that front, too – there’s the Adjustable Ambient Sound mode, as well as the Adaptive Sound control feature to tailor the environment around you to your liking.
The battery should provide the headband with up to 35-hour life, but the best thing is that there’s a quick charging option available. You have to leave your house in four minutes to ride the subway for a whole hour? Don’t sweat it. A 3-minute charge should give you up to 60 minutes of playback.
