Sony launched its new entry-level CH-720N noise-canceling headphones in 2023. They’re fairly good, however if you cannot afford them (they record for $150), the corporate’s new finances on-ear CH-520 headphones are an intriguing choice for less than round $50.
They lack noise canceling and are fairly no-frills, however they function good sound for his or her value, are light-weight and fairly comfy for on-ear headphones, and still have wonderful battery life (they’re rated for as much as 50 hours at average quantity ranges). Moreover, they’ve multipoint Bluetooth pairing, so you’ll be able to pair them with two units concurrently, comparable to a smartphone and laptop, and swap audio. Voice-calling efficiency is respectable, although less than the extent of what you get with the CH-720N.
Be aware that there is no wired choice — it is a wi-fi Bluetooth-only headphone. The CH-520 gives total balanced sound with respectable readability. The bass has some punch to it however would not pack a wallop, and you are not going to get fairly as broad a soundstage as you get from Sony’s costlier over-ear headphones. However these undoubtedly sound higher than Sony’s earlier entry-level on-ear headphones and sound higher than I believed they might. I attempted the white colour however in addition they are available in blue and black.
