Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones WHCH710N: Wireless Bluetooth Over the Ear Headset with Mic for Phone-Call, Black

These over-the-ear headphones are very lightweight and comfortable to wear. They seemed to be designed to be operated while wearing them because they speak to you as you press the buttons, e.g. Power On/Off, Bluetooth Pairing/Connected/Disconnected, Noise Cancelling, Ambient Sound, etc. Press the power button briefly and it tells you the power level, hold the button a few seconds to turn on/off, and hold it for seven seconds to go into Bluetooth pairing mode. If you have Near Field Communications on your device, my cell phone has this capability, the Bluetooth connects and disconnects when held near the device. In the box are the headphones, and two cables: a headphone cable, and USB-A to USB-C cable. The USB cable is less that 8 inches, not sure why so short, it is difficult to plug into my charging transformer or computer. A 5-volt charging transformer is not included and it is not clear the desired wattage. It did take 7 hours to charge initially. It is listed as having a 35-hour playback time on a charge. The sound quality is very good, I play my music at very high fidelity and these headphones are handling the music exceedingly well. One thing that I wish Sony included is a case for the headphones. There are third-party cases available online. These headphones seem to provide many of the features of Sony’s higher end headphones at a more modest price point. I would certainly recommend them for everyday use. I tested the tree modes; Ambient, Noise Cancelling, and Off. We live on a busy street with much traffic, cars and heavy trucks, which was a perfect setting for the test. Noise Cancelling mode did a great job compensating for the exterior noise, the traffic is loud, and I could barely hear it. As expected in Ambient mode the microphones passed through the street sounds with the music, good if I were walking around and needed to also hear what is going on in the environment and listen to the music. Ambient off turns off the microphones so there is no pass-through sound, so it will depend on the outside volume and your music volume as to how much outside sound you hear. Ambient off also means that Noise Cancelling is off, so if you do not like the compensation that noise cancelling provides, this is your mode. I need to also disclose that I did receive these headphones at a discount in exchange for my honest review. I am pleased with the quality that these headphones provide at a very reasonable price.

Great gift

Great sound quality. Probably the best I’ve ever tried. It is noise canceling. Great for using when walking or studying and you want to tune the world out. The only negative I have for this product is that it’s flimsy and breaks quickly. This is my 4th pair and only after a year of use they broke again. I think the plastic needs improvement but I don’t think they’ll do anything about it. My recommendation is if you get this treat ir like a newborn baby.

The WHCH710N headset is wonderful. Sure, it's not flawless, but it's still a headset worth buying. At a retail price of $200, I've seen it on sale often for $100. That's a very competitive price for a headset with this feature set. The Pros: Excellent build quality. These are sturdy, well built, headphones. Although the majority of the build is plastic, in a way that's a good thing. Excellent sound quality. These headphones produce amazing sound, with a more flat sound profile. Good noise cancellation. The noise cancellation is good enough, but at certain angles, noise can leak in. Amazing audio controls. The controls are outstanding. With them also being physical buttons, it's far easier to control and handle without an accidental gesture activation. Outstanding Bluetooth connection. The Bluetooth connection is simply outstanding. I cant notice any audio delay at all, and it truly feels like a wired headset. The Cons: The leatherette ear cushions. They arent that comfortable, but that depends on the ear size of the user. If you have small ears, they will be fine. But if you have larger ears, you may have discomfort. I personally use (and recommend) the SteelSeries Arctis ear cushions as a replacement. ($14.99+fees USD) Clamping. Depending on the users head size, it can feel a bit clampy. It doesn't hurt, but you can notice it feels snug if you have a bigger head. Ear discomfort. This headset has a strange black cube that is under the ear cushion, in the middle. I do not know what it is for, but again, depending on the users ear size - this black cube may dig into your ear, causing discomfort.

Received these earlier today and was a bit concerned by other reviews that I've read on here. Like others have said they are very light weight, which is awesome, I could see wearing these for hours with no discomfort. The noise cancelling works really well, any repetitive background noise like a fan, humming fridge, is completely gone when the noise cancelling is turned on. It won't get rid of music or a person talking to you, but between the over ear and the noise cancelling those sounds are definitely less noticable or not even at all when there's sounds coming through the headphones. I also read how people said the sound quality was muffled, but I haven't had any issues as of yet. I listened to some music, watched a bit of Thor Ragnarok, and tried some sound test videos (these can go as low as 20hz) and everything sounded great. To the point that one video that was doing surround sound stuff had someone knock on a door and I thought it was real and took the headphones off only to realize it was coming from the video. I've bought cheaper noise cancelling headphones a few times and those pale in comparison to these. For $100 I don't think you could do better, but you could definitely do worse. All in all I'm pretty happy so far, if that changes I'll keep you posted.

I'm old enough to have had a Walk-Man, a Disc-Man, and all other manner of popular Sony products over the years. But in the 90s, I felt Sony was just banking on their brand rather than the quality of their products. Then came the Bluetooth boom in the 2000s, and Sony found themselves behind the times, with deep competition. So they threw themselves back into R&D, and started producing some premium quality audio tech once again. The WH-CH710N is one such product. The sound quality is pristine, with a level of clarity that deserves the Sony badge. With their Bass Boost technology, the bass response is amazing without being overpowering -- truly, this is Sony's signature. Furthermore, the active noise cancelling and ambient sound modes are quite good, even during calls. And the microphone pickup does a decent job of focusing on my voice, and background noise is kept to a minimum. Overall, the Sony WH-CH710N is a quality product with an approachable price tag. My only real gripe is that there is no travel bag/case included, while some other comparable products do. Still, if you're in the market for on-ear headphones, this is definitely worth considering. Happy shopping!

The product is great and meets all the specifications mentioned but I bought it from blumaple seller which claimed the MRP of the product is INR 34,999 but the true MRP is INR 14,990. I called and confirmed with Sony customer care. Blumaple claimed the discounted price to be INR 15,499 and unfortunately I bought it at this price. Later, when I told my friend that this is a good product he looked into it and told me that he sees a different price and MRP which forced me to dig into this and I found out the truth. Again, product is fantastic! Just be careful and buy from authorised sellers only.

É ótimo o produto, mas dói a orelha com um certo tempo de uso!!!! Incomoda mesmo pra quem usa todos os dias pra estudar, como eu.

Stereo confortável

They do the few jobs they are intended to do, very well indeed. I am glad I did not spend more on expensive alternatives as these do the job nicely.
