With the WH-CH720N, Sony has launched a new mid-range wireless headphone. The headphones have many of the features of their high-end WH-1000XM5 counterparts, but at half the price.
The new headphones support the Bluetooth 5.2 standard, as well as the ability to connect to multiple devices at the same time, as well as the voice command function to control music playback and adjust the volume.
Despite its modest price tag, the WH-CH720N packs a V1 chip from the higher-end WH-1000XM5, which has powerful noise reduction capabilities. In addition, DSEE technology was developed to improve the quality of compressed audio files in order to reproduce clear, high-field sound that is often lost when listening to compressed file formats such as MP3. With these features, Sony ensures that its headphones outperform the competition.
There are two microphones on each end of the headphones, which use Sony's dual noise sensor technology to pick up and block out ambient noise. It also offers 20 degrees of noise cancellation that users can control through the app. In addition to the adaptive sound control function, it allows automatic adjustment of sound parameters based on the user's location (home, street, work, etc.) or the activity they perform (sitting, walking, running, etc.). .
The Sony CH720N is equipped with four specially designed microphones to eliminate wind noise during calls and ensure optimal speech clarity.
The speaker weighs 192 grams and offers up to 35 hours of battery life with noise cancellation enabled. It will be available in four colors this March: black, blue, white, and tan, and will cost $150, which the company says is the cheapest noise-canceling device it makes.
It is worth noting that this is the second mid-range headphone that the company launched this year after the WH-CH520, and it does not contain noise cancellation, but it supports multi-device communication and supports DSEE technology to improve sound quality.
