I recently purchased the Sony WH-CH520 Wireless On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. These headphones have exceeded my expectations in every way!Firstly, the sound quality is phenomenal. The audio is crisp and clear, with a perfect balance of bass, mids, and treble. Whether I'm listening to music, podcasts, or watching movies, the sound experience is immersive and enjoyable.The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 50 hours on a single charge. I no longer have to worry about constantly recharging my headphones, making them perfect for long trips or extended use throughout the day.The wireless Bluetooth connectivity is seamless and reliable. Pairing the headphones with my devices was effortless, and I haven't experienced any dropouts or connectivity issues. The built-in microphone also works great for phone calls, providing clear audio on both ends.Comfort is another standout feature of the Sony WH-CH520. The on-ear design is lightweight and comfortable, even during long listening sessions. The adjustable headband and cushioned ear cups ensure a snug fit without causing any discomfort.Overall, the Sony WH-CH520 Wireless On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones offer exceptional value for their price. With superb sound quality, outstanding battery life, and a comfortable design, these headphones are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for reliable and high-performance wireless headphones. Highly recommended!

The headphone is mediocre for daily use. It is decently comfortable but can't passively isolate much background noise due to lack of active noise cancellation (ANC). After long use it hurts my ears a little bit but not so much to complain about. The sound quality is good but not excellent. The bass is not upto the expectation. The long battery life is good and for me it lasts for more than 2 weeks with 2-3 hours of use every day. The app is good and lets me adjust the sound profile.

So if you're considering to buy this pair of headphones or have already brought it and need a little tweak to the sound to up the excitement, give this review a read. I know it's somewhat lengthy :( but if you've already bought this pair, skip to the last part, that is, bonus.Sound quality:-Pretty good. As you might know, Sony is Sony when it comes to sound. The audio is clear and has that calm, balanced profile that I prefer to the bass oriented profiles of BoAt and JBL. If you are a basshead, I don't think these headphones will be your go to. But if you've been using bass heavy headphones, you will feel and instant change in audio quality and the overall beauty of music once you switch to a Sony device. Keep in mind that I'm not a professional audiophile or something. I love listening to quality music and watching movies and these headphones are perfect. I use Apple music and the sound is bliss, idk about Spotify though but I think it will fare equally well. I like bass and these headphones do provide bass, just that they are not overkill and distort the entire sound looking for it. These feel more premium in the sound department. However some people might feel a lack of excitement in their sound out of the box. Worry not, I've added an EQ tweak to fix your problem at the end of this review.Specs:- 30mm drivers. So not as loud as the 40mm ones BoAt and JBL offer in this price range. But I've felt (personally) the audio quality to be better. Bluetooth 5.2 which is solid. Multipoint connection makes sure that this will not be outdated soon. They've been released in 2023 and will remain in contention for atleast a couple of years. Multipoint has to be turned on in headphones app and I use it to connect the headphones to my Macbook to watch movies and to my android phone, which might be on charging or in another room, to attend calls. The switching is seamless and works well. They don't have touch controls though, so it will take a couple of tries to learn to get the buttons right, especially in a dark room. They have DSEE which is basically a feature to enhance low quality/ compressed audios downloaded from internet. It has to be turned on in the app and is not needed for Spotify or Apple music as they are already best quality music and DSEE takes up additional battery charge. Battery is solid. They were 70% out of the box and after 20 hr playback still had 50% left. So I guess they'll last for atleast 50 hrs like they claim on the box. I don't like charging my devices all the time and I use them for max 5 hrs a day for which they will last close to 2 weeks which is good. No ANC though, it's not a problem for me but if it is for you, don't buy. Mic is good, I've attended calls in the midst of traffic and they were pretty fine.Comfort:-I've tried many midrange headphones and these are some of the best in terms of comfort too. Soft earcups that sit compact on my ear. However if they are not positioned properly, they might exert pressure. But on proper positioning, they will give 2 to 2.5 hours playback without any discomfort. After that you will have to take a break. I don't have big ears btw. They are lightweight and have an adjustable headband with cushion. So as far as on ear headphones are concerned, these are comfortable.Build:-Plastic but feels durable. Not creaking. The earcups are the types which forms wrinkles, they look durable but I don't know if they will pinch unless I use it for atleast 6 months. Anyway these have replacement earcups available online and in Sony service centers. I have one near my house. I don't think they are sweat resistant so don't use it for workouts. For jogging they will stay in place once positioned compactly, but for running they will slip off ear.Drawbacks:-Lack of aux cable. Once you are out of charge, that's that. It says they support fast charging on box, but I haven't tried that so idk. Normally takes 2 hours atleast to charge from 20 to 100. Another drawback is portability. They are not foldable and even though the plastic feels durable, I'd suggest you don't bump them much. While travelling either buy a case or carry them around in the box they come with (don't worry about looking cheap, the box doesn't have anything like specs or other bs written on it. Only thing written is Sony. It's inside the white cover that mentions specs).Conclusion:-They offer value for money if you ask me. The sound is premium for a budget segment and not too bass oriented. The headphone app means it will get firmware updates and has some listening modes that actually work, it is not a gimmick. They look and feel premium too. And unlike Anker or ATH, they have service centers all over so if any issue pops up, that's an added boost too. The don't have an in box warranty card but worry not, the moment you connect your device to the headphones app they are registered. Keep the Amazon invoice with you, in the box or download it in pdf form from your orders section.Bonus:-If the headphones lack excitement to you out of the box, the headphones app offer some preset EQ. But I will share this tweak I found from reddit. They worked for me so if you don't know how to configure the EQ on your own, try this;Select manual on EQ in Sony headphones app.Put 400 to 2.Put 1k to 4.Put 2.5k to 7.Put 6.3k to 7.Put 16k to 5.Put clear bass to 2.Try out this tweak and see if it works for you. This works on some higher end Sony models too. Enjoy your headphones!!!

What more to say, it's Sony, I mostly use it for music and the audio is amazing. You can hear new notes of your favourite songs, overall it'll give you a premium experience. Mic is also pretty good, audio is clear on both ends during a call, I wanted a headphone which can help me with great music and clear calls, and only this one could manage both at this price range, hence no complains on performance. Connectivity is pretty good, connects as soon as you turn the device on. The battery must be massive, as it can run for months with moderate usage. Come to durability and build quality, it looks fragile, but all cool if you handle with care.

Great audio quality for a budget headphone.Long lasting battery is a great bonus along with dual connectivity.

The media could not be loaded.  I got it for 4000 and it is the best of all at that costs a good product for the music loversIt's sound quality is so goodAnd coming to battery life that was incredible of 50 hrsUsing this headphones for gaming is not good according to me for continuing this smooth experience in music and qualityA very good and best product for music lovers as I spent most of my day in lising musicIt will not cause any damage to your ears too it is very light weight and easy to use .It features only for iOS but it can be used with Android also .A good product that you can trust for your money.

Writing Review after 9 month the headset can't connect to the laptop. If it connects then in between the meeting or playing videos the sound automatically goes off.

4 stars only because the white colour changed to light brownie.except that all other things are amazing - sound quality, price, battery, and built quality.

Great sound quality. You add an app for the headphones that allows you to adjust settings for your preferences. The headphones are lightweight and comfortable, just wish they folded up. A big plus is that you can use your phone with them. The microphone provides clear sound that isn’t distorted - just as if I had my phone at my ear instead of my pocket.I have always had good results with Sony, and these are showing the quality I expect at a price that most other devices don’t match. It arrived fully charged, though I would like a longer cable as it is only about 9 inches long. It charges quickly, and the charge lasts a long time. The controls are easy to use to adjust volume. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend them.

Fone leve, confortável, graves e agudos reguláveis pelo aplicativo da Sony, ótima qualidade sonora.Faltou o desligamento automático após algum tempo de inatividade.

These headphones are a fantastic buy. Over the years I've bought quite a few lower-proced options, because I couldn't see the point in spending a fortune on just, well, headphones. I love my music, but I have better things to do with hundreds of dollars.Tired of endless buzz from cheaper options, I spent a tiny bit more to buy these - and I was blown away. Wow, is all I can say. The sound is incredible. They're light and comfortable on the ear. And they also fold up small to fit into a small bag.I also found they charge pretty quickly in about 3 hours and play for ages before needing a new charge - mine lasted for about 48 hours when I first tested them.Overall, this was a very good buy.

O som muito bom, e gravações de áudio no Whatsapp saem com boa qualidade. É reconhecido rápido no Bluetooth do smartphone.A cor e o modelo são bonitos e práticos. Um custo/benefício bom.

I've had thse headphones, for two months now, for the gym and I still have not charged them since the day I got them. I cannot say enough.
