Sony WH-CH710N Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones with 35 hours Battery Life, Quick Charge, Built-in Mic and Voice Assistant - Black

I purchased these headphones to use when working, so was after more of a work horse than something with more fidelity, but ended up being surprised at the quality of audio that they brought to the table at the price point. Pairing is simple and you can easily connect to more than one source, and the battery life is phenomenal - they just seem to keep on going. Build quality is also good - I've had Bose headphones that have fallen apart within months whereas these still look brand new even with being used several hours a day. The only slight annoyance is the voice that speaks to you when connecting or finding out what charge they have left - it kind of sounds breathless. Certainly not a show stopper, and if that's the worst thing I can think of that's negative in my mind then they've done a pretty good job of impressing me.

Bought these to replace my Beats Studio 3 headphones I’ve had for 3-4 years now and have finally fallen apart. I typically use them while video conferencing on my laptop, or to listen to hip hop and podcasts while I work and travel.I was worried on first impression because these are very light and made mainly out of the same scratchy plastic on cheap car interiors - so definitely didn’t feel or look premium.That said the ear pads and headband feel better than those on the Beats Studio. Being lighter they are definitely more comfortable to wear.ANC is excellent and there are multiple modes to allow ambient noise in. I really like this, because if you’ve got your head down working in an open plan office you don’t necessarily need full fat noise cancellation the way you would want it if you were on an aircraft or train. The Beats and Anker ANC headphones didn’t offer this, and it feels more natural than my Bose Quietcomfort earphones with a similar mode.Someone with a more discerning ear might say otherwise but I couldn’t hear any difference in sound quality between these and any of the other premium headphones and earphones I own.In short I don’t think you’d need to pay any more for a decent set of headphones!

Sound - 4/5. Good sound, nice instruments. However, it could be so much louder. Find myself wanting at max volume when I'm anywhere that isn't silent. As for the microphone. Would be easy to say there wasn't one. God awful. If you want to use for calls prepare for "What was that?", "Pardon?" and "Say that again." Even in quiet rooms.Price - For 100 squid it's alright. If you forked an extra 50 you could get something better. If you saved an extra 50 you could get something a lot worse. Decent price.Usage - Connects to bluetooth easily, and automatically. Remembers noise cancellation, and phone call settings. Goes to sleep quite quickly if not being actively used.Haven't been on less than full battery yet but the most I've used is for a whole day charging at in the evening so can't comment on battery life. Double tap for next song, triple tap to wheel up, just like on every other headphone.Comfort - First thing I noticed when I took it out the box was how light it was. Used to have the Sony MDR's. Miles lighter. Doesn't feel hard to wear for a while.Overall. They do the job.

These headphones are simply stunning. The sound is super clear and well balanced. Noise cancelling feels like high end headphones, even sat in a busy cafe watching a fairly audio sparse Netflix show I could still barely hear anyone around me - I have tested these on trains, planes, in cafes and outdoors and the noise cancelling is really very good!These headphones are comfy as well, soft pads around the ears and plenty of space inside make for high comfort even when wearing for long periods of time.Battery - I don’t think you could ask for more battery, I often think it should be time to charge them and when I go to check how much charge they have left I find they’re still on 80%+. In addition when you do charge them they charge very fast.The Bluetooth connectivity is faultless, perfectly clear, easy to connect, and with a good range that seems pretty limitless when in line of sight of your device - this is interrupted if you go into a different room but that’s true of any Bluetooth headphones.My only tip is to buy yourself a cheap case for these on Amazon to give you peace of mind when they’re in your bag etc..Overall I fully recommend these headphones, for the price they are simply amazing and I don’t know why anyone would go for a more expensive ‘branded’ (Bose etc..) set when these are available.
