Overview of Sony WH-CH520 Wireless Headphones
S$80 S$139 at Amazon Singapore
Overall, the Sony WH-CH520 headphones are advertised as having up to 50 hours of battery life, stable connectivity, and enhanced call performance to meet the demands of your day.
Impressively, the headphones have a 4.5-star rating and over 9,000 global ratings on Amazon. They're loved for their sound quality and long battery life.
The pros of Sony WH-CH520 headphones
You can tailor different music category sounds to your own liking, thanks to the Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) that restores the harmonics and liveliness lost during typical music compression, for a more authentic performance. You can use the Sony Headphones Connect App to choose from a variety of pre-sets to match sound quality with the genre of music you're listening to. So say you're into EDM and you'd like a cleaner bass. You can toggle the equalizer to make the sounds brighter and increase the clarity of the singer's vocals. It's quite a nice touch for an enhanced listening experience.
Not only for listening to music, but you can also accept and receive calls with one click of the buttons on the earcups, so there's no need to take your phone from your pocket. With a high-quality built-in microphone and noise suppression processing, the Sony WH-CH520 reduces ambient noise during calls so you can make clear calls even in noisy environments.
Sony is not joking with the battery life on these headphones. Depending on the heavy usage of your headphones, you can use your device for a few days with just one charge. One shopper said, "They can last me around 4-5 days with around 7-8 hours of use each day. I use them nearly all day during work. They charge really quickly, too, which is great."
Sony claims a quick 3-minute charge can still give you 1.5 hours of listening when your battery is low.
The cons of Sony WH-CH520 headphones
While the sound quality is impressive, these headphones do not have noise cancellation. One user shared, "The audio is great, very well levelled. Although they have no noise cancellation, with a moderate volume, it isolates well enough so that the sounds or music from the gym, for example, are very much in the background."
The lowest price for the Sony WH-CH520 headphones in blue is S$84, while the black version is S$89 after a whooping 36% discount.
