Sony WH-1000XM5 hit $198, half price for one of its best headphones
They're worth it
I recently had the chance to try out Sony's new $68 headphones, the WH-CH530, and I have to say, they prove that you don't have to spend a fortune to get great sound. These headphones offer premium tuning at a much more affordable price, making them accessible to music lovers who don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars for a new pair of headphones.
The WH-CH530 headphones are on-ear and closed, with a frequency response ranging from 2.4 GHz band. They connect via Bluetooth 6.0, which supports features like multipoint connectivity and multipoint pairing. The headphones have a battery life of up to 55 hours, making them perfect for long listening sessions. They weight 5.29 ounces and come in a variety of fun colors, including Pink, Coral, Mint, Cobalt, White, and Black.
In terms of comfort, I found them to be quite comfortable for on-ear headphones. They have a padded headband that is comfortable to wear, and the ear cups provide a good amount of noise isolation. However, they aren't the most comfortable on-ear headphones I've tried, as the on-ear design can cause pressure on the ears.
The sound quality of the WH-CH530 headphones is truly impressive for the price. They have a warm sound with well-balanced mid-range frequencies, crisp vocals, and impressive bass reproduction. The headphones support the latest Bluetooth 6.0 technology, which offers better stability and higher-efficiency codecs like LC3 and LE Audio, which help extend battery life. The headphones also have multipoint connectivity, allowing you to pair them with two devices simultaneously.
