Sony WH-CH730N review: I fully recommend these headphones but not if you’re in the U.S. — here’s why
The Sony WH-CH730N are so perfect that the only thing that lets them down is the price tag in the U.S.
Sony WH-CH730N review: Price may deter U.S. buyers but features shine
The Sony WH-CH730N headphones impressed the reviewer with their great sound quality, impressive ANC, comfortable design, and exceptional battery life. The reviewer found them to be well worth considering, especially if you can't stretch to Sony’s flagship headphones.
The headphones deliver impressive sound quality across all their favorite tracks, with an ear for detail in guitars, drums, and vocals. The ANC effectively blocks out ambient noise, whether it's chatter in the office or train commotion, and offers adaptive control for adjusting ambient sound levels. Comfort is another strong point, with lightweight, padded headbands and ear pads that provide a secure fit during movement.
Design-wise, the WH-CH730N are sturdy and lightweight, with a foldable design for easy portability. The review praised the color options and affordable yet premium look, as well as the easy-to-use controls. Battery life is exceptional, with up to 75 hours of runtime when ANC is off and 50 hours with ANC on.
However, the main drawback is the price in the U.S., where it stands at $179 / £99. While the reviewer recommends the headphones for those in the U.K. where they are more affordable, they express disappointment that U.S. buyers may be deterred by the higher price tag.
