Tune the world out
Dual Noise Sensor technology and an Integrated Processor V1 take Noise Cancelling to the next level. Now you can shut the world around you out and immerse yourself in the music. You can also adjust the ambient sound across 20 different levels with the Sony | Sound Connect app.

With two microphones in each earcup and Dual Noise Sensor technology to capture ambient sound, you can block outside noise everywhere you go, so the only thing you hear is your music.
Keep the wind quiet
A newly developed Wind Noise Reduction Structure around the mic reduces background noise for you, and keeps focused on your favorite music.
More natural ambient sound
In Ambient Sound mode, the WH-CH720N headphones capture more of the ambient sound around you thanks to the feedforward and feedback mics, so you can enjoy a natural listening experience while staying connected to your environment. Plus, the Sony | Sound Connect app allows you to adjust the ambient sound in 20 levels, or use the Focus on Voice setting to chat without removing your headphones.
Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to whatever you do
Adaptive Sound Control is a smart function that senses where you are and what you're doing, then adjusts ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience. It even recognises locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace, the gym, or a favourite café, and switches the sound modes that suit the situation.

The WH-CH720N brings punchy, energetic sound to affordable noise-cancelling, with forceful rhythms, satisfying texture and an especially lively feel for rock, hip-hop and pop. What Hi-Fi? highlights its effective ANC, comfortable cushioning, long battery life and useful app EQ, which lets listeners temper the bass-forward default tuning.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Punchy, detailed and rhythmically driven sound makes energetic music particularly engaging.
Effective active noise cancellation, Multipoint connectivity and app-based EQ are strong features for the class.
Comfortable padded fit and generous battery life of up to 35 hours with ANC or 50 hours without.
&
Cons
Default bass tuning can be overly assertive and occasionally overwhelm the mix, though EQ can reduce it.
The headphones do not fold and include no dedicated carry case.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 88/100
What Hi-Fi finds the WH-CH720N unusually spirited for its affordable price, with a forceful, energetic presentation, strong rhythmic engagement and worthwhile detail. Its defining caveat is a bass-forward default tuning that can occasionally overwhelm the mix, though the app EQ can rein it in.
Bass
85/100
Bass is forceful, weighty and central to the headphone's energetic character, giving rock, hip-hop and orchestral music plenty of impact. What Hi-Fi repeatedly says it is over-enthusiastic by default and can become overwhelming, but notes that the EQ can reduce this excess.
Midrange
86/100
Direct commentary on vocal tonality and midrange balance is limited. Still, the review finds texture and feeling in Elliott Smith's guitar work, suggesting that the assertive low end does not erase musical expression.
Treble
86/100
The review offers little direct assessment of treble extension, brightness or fatigue. Its comments on retained subtlety in layered material indicate that the presentation preserves useful upper-frequency information rather than simply burying it under bass.
Resolution Detail
91/100
What Hi-Fi specifically praises the amount of detail and texture available at the price. It hears resonant guitar texture and retains the subtle, layered character of alt-J's arrangement, pointing to capable separation in busy music.
Soundstage Imaging
86/100
The review does not provide meaningful detail on soundstage width, depth or image placement. It does note that layered arrangements retain their character, but spatial precision is otherwise not closely assessed.
Dynamics
92/100
Rhythmic drive is a standout. What Hi-Fi calls the presentation pulsating and invigorating, and highlights the way the headphones understand kick-snare momentum and deliver music with conviction.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Comfort Fit
80/100
The available review does not meaningfully discuss clamp force, pad heat, weight distribution or long-session comfort. Buyers sensitive to fit should seek additional hands-on impressions before purchasing.
Build Quality
88/100
What Hi-Fi describes the headphones as dependably made and praises their build quality. The review does not provide detailed long-term durability observations, but its assessment of the construction is clearly positive.
Features Usability
89/100
The review praises the strong feature set and finds the ANC good for this affordable class. Sony's app-based EQ is particularly useful here, as it gives owners a straightforward way to moderate the default bass-heavy balance.
Value for Money
95/100
At $179.99, What Hi-Fi calls the WH-CH720N a true budget bargain and says it cannot think of a competing over-ear model at this price that matches its spirited delivery. The review also credits it with good ANC and a strong feature set for the money.
