Overview
Sony's lightweight wireless noise cancelling over-ear headphones, built around the Integrated Processor V1 for active noise cancellation, with up to 35 hours of battery life and multipoint connection for switching between two devices.
At 192g, Sony positions the WH-CH720N as its lightest noise cancelling headband to date, aimed at buyers who want all-day wear over the deepest bass or the longest feature list. Multipoint connection and DSEE audio upscaling are the two features that separate this from a basic Bluetooth headset.
- 192g, Sony's lightest noise cancelling headband
- Up to 35-hour battery, quick charging
- Multipoint connection for two devices
- DSEE audio upscaling for streamed music
Who it's for
Commuters and remote workers who want lightweight noise cancelling and the convenience of switching between a laptop and phone without re-pairing get the most from this. Anyone chasing studio-reference sound or a rugged, gym-ready build should look elsewhere.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light enough for extended daily wear

- Quick charge adds playback fast
- No details given on isolation depth

Performance notes
Dual noise sensor technology feeds Sony's Integrated Processor V1, which also handles beamforming microphone pickup on calls and drives DSEE, the engine that upscales compressed streaming audio. Multipoint connection keeps two Bluetooth devices linked at once, so a call on a phone can interrupt music from a laptop without a manual switch, and a 3-minute quick charge is stated to add up to an hour of playback.
