Over-ear · ANC · 35h · LDAC · BT 5.2

The Sony WH-CH720N is Sony's budget over-ear noise-cancelling headphone, proving that effective ANC no longer requires a flagship price tag. Powered by Sony's Integrated Processor V1, it offers meaningful noise reduction that silences office chatter and transit rumble at a fraction of the cost of premium models. Its standout feature is being the lightest over-ear ANC headphone at just 192 grams — so featherweight you might forget you are wearing it during long listening sessions. The CH720N is perfect for students, office workers, and casual listeners who want comfortable, all-day ANC without breaking the bank. Compared to the JBL Tune 770NC at the same $100 price, the Sony offers LDAC hi-res codec support and a lighter build, though the JBL counters with longer battery life. With 35 hours of battery and LDAC streaming capability at just $100, the CH720N is the best entry point into Sony's noise-cancelling headphone ecosystem.
