Sony WH-CH520 review

Sony WH-CH520

Light, and the battery lasts. No fuss.

8/104.5 / 5

Sony's WH-CH520 is the light pair people buy when they do not want noise cancelling and do not want to spend. Reviews praise the weight and a battery that seems to last forever. I wore them for a week of podcasts and one album. They disappeared on my head, which is the compliment.There is no ANC. The reviews that are angry about that did not read the page. Sound is clear and a bit polite, not exciting. Multipoint works. The mic is acceptable. If you want silence on a train, buy the Soundcore. If you want something you forget you are wearing, buy these.
