Sony’s WH-CH720N noise cancelling headphones are seeing a major price drop, making them a tempting pick for anyone who wants big, punchy bass and a lightweight design for everyday listening. Designed for music fans who like extra thump in genres such as EDM and hip-hop, these over-ear headphones combine active noise cancellation, long battery life, and sound-enhancing features meant to make streamed and compressed tracks feel more detailed and immersive.
Right now, the Sony WH-CH720N in black is discounted by 46% off its $179.99 MSRP, bringing the price down to $97. The white version is also on sale, though for a smaller 37% discount, priced at $113.92. Deal pricing can change, but at these levels the WH-CH720N lands in a sweet spot for shoppers looking for strong value in a wireless noise cancelling headset.
One of the standout selling points is comfort and portability. Sony markets the WH-CH720N as its lightest noise cancelling headphone model, weighing just 192 g (6.8 oz.). That low weight can make a noticeable difference during long workdays, commutes, or extended playlists, especially for people who find heavier over-ear headphones tiring.
For connectivity, the WH-CH720N supports Bluetooth for wireless listening, but it doesn’t lock you into wireless-only use. When the battery runs low, you can plug in with the built-in 3.5 mm audio jack and keep listening in wired mode. Battery life is rated up to 35 hours with active noise cancellation turned on, and Sony says a quick 3-minute charge can deliver about an hour of playback, which is useful when you’re rushing out the door.
Noise reduction is handled through a combination of the physical seal from the earcups plus Sony’s Dual Noise Sensor technology, intended to cut down on surrounding sound. Along with noise cancelling, the WH-CH720N includes DSEE (designed to help improve the sound of compressed audio) and 360 Reality Audio for a more spatial, wraparound presentation on supported content.
There are a couple of important trade-offs to know before buying. Reviews note that Sony’s newer, higher-end noise cancelling headphones deliver stronger noise reduction overall, so if maximum noise isolation is your top priority, premium models in Sony’s lineup perform better. Also, the WH-CH720N isn’t an ideal wireless gaming headset due to noticeable Bluetooth audio lag (around 290 ms), although that delay goes away when you switch to a wired connection.
For shoppers who want lightweight comfort, bass-forward tuning, modern noise cancelling features, and the flexibility of both wireless and wired listening, the Sony WH-CH720N at its current discounted price is a strong deal worth considering.
