It has been a great few days if you’re a Sony fan on the hunt for the best cheap wireless headphones. We’ve already brought you a wallet-friendly deal on the entry-level WH-CH520 Bluetooth cans which saw the five-star, no-frills over-ears reach a new low price.
And now, we’re pleased to report there is a tasty saving to be made on their What Hi-Fi? Award-winning step-up siblings, the WH-CH720N. The black version of these headphones can be yours for the very agreeable sum of just £65 at John Lewis.
That marks a significant £34 price drop when comparing their current price to our original ‘tested at’ price.
That’s right, we originally tested these headphones at £99, so this latest price cut gives you an even better reason to take the plunge. We guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
When they passed through our test rooms last year, we gave the Sony WH-CH720 five stars, praising their “pleasing build quality and punchy sound”. We were also big fans of their noise-cancelling abilities at the money.
While more expensive pairs do subdue external noise more effectively, the Sonys still put in a great shift for the money and as a relatively inexpensive pair you can just throw in a bag and take on your travels, they are extremely difficult to fault.
Not only do they add ANC to the equation compared to the WH-CH520, they also bring a sizeable bump in sound quality which more than justifies the extra expense.
You also get a more premium build, a different driver set-up and Sony’s DSEE upscaling which we have found can bring a bump in sound quality, especially if you’re playing low-quality, heavily compressed files. With or without it engaged, the Sonys serve up a musical and driven sound which makes for a fun listening experience whether you’re plying them with rock, pop, hip-hop dance or classical.
This is all topped off with their 35-hour battery life, which should suffice even for the most epic of listening sessions. This jumps up to around 50 hours if you switch noise-cancelling off.
It’s great to see so many headphone deals out there and this is another one you can add to the list. At just £68 we think you could struggle to find a better-value pair of affordable noise-cancelling headphones this side of Black Friday.
