Bag Sony’s Midrange ANC Headphones for Just $98 While You Still Can [CNET]

You don’t always have to spend flagship money to get great features, and this deal is a prime example.

A good pair of noise-canceling headphones can make all the difference, whether you’re enduring a busy commute or want to block out a noisy office. But as is always the case, getting headphones with advanced features like active noise cancellation can be expensive. That doesn’t always have to be the case, however, and Amazon has marked down Sony’s WH-CH720N headphones by more than $50 to help make your money go further. That discount means that you can now grab a pair for just $98. These headphones are among our favorites, and both the black and white colors are available at this discounted price.

While these headphones don’t have as many features as the more powerful WH-1000XM5 headphones from Sony, they do have a lot going for them — especially at their more affordable price point. In addition to good sound quality,  these headphones have 30mm drivers and come equipped with Sony’s V1 chip for solid active noise cancellation. They also have an ambient sound mode and robust EQ settings you can customize to taste.

Another feature these headphones offer is multipoint connectivity, which means you can connect to your computer or phone at the same time. And they are a good option for voice-calling as well. Additionally, Alexa is built in, making it easy to ask for a specific song, control compatible smart home devices and more. As for battery life, you should get up to 35 hours per charge or as much as 50 hours if you have noise cancellation turned off. 

In his review, CNET’s David Carnoy noted that Sony’s WH-CH720N offer “the appealing combination of a lightweight, comfortable design with respectable performance,” which makes this an ideal deal for people who don’t want to splurge on a premium headset costing upwards of $300.
