Sony WH-CH520 Over-Ear Wireless Headphones - Black

Not every pair of wireless headphones needs a catalogue of complicated features. Sometimes you just want great sound, serious battery life and a comfortable fit that you can happily wear for hours. The Sony WH-CH520 Wireless Headphones – Black nail that brief beautifully, offering everyday Sony sound quality in a lightweight, straightforward design that's made for music, podcasts, calls and everything in between.

Inside you'll find 30mm dynamic drivers, tuned to produce clear, balanced audio across a wide range of music. Sony's DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) also helps restore some of the detail lost when music is compressed, giving streamed tracks a little more life and musicality. And if you prefer your bass bigger, your vocals brighter or your sound shaped a particular way, the Sony | Sound Connect app lets you customise the EQ to suit your ears.

Battery anxiety isn't much of an issue here. The WH-CH520 offers an impressive up to 50 hours of music playback, making it an excellent choice for commuting, travelling, studying or simply getting through a week of regular listening without constantly reaching for a charger. Run them low and a quick three-minute charge can provide around 1.5 hours of playback, while charging is handled conveniently over USB-C.

They're particularly handy if your day involves jumping between devices. Multipoint connectivity allows the headphones to stay paired with two compatible Bluetooth devices simultaneously, so you could be listening to music from your laptop and then answer an incoming call from your phone without manually disconnecting and reconnecting everything.

Speaking of calls, there's a built-in microphone for hands-free conversations, online meetings and voice assistant commands. Physical buttons on the earcup keep playback, calls and volume controls within easy reach, so there's no need to fish your phone out of your pocket every time you want to skip a track.

Comfort hasn't been forgotten either. At approximately 147g, the WH-CH520 is impressively lightweight, with an adjustable headband, soft ear pads and swivel earcups designed for easy everyday wear. One important distinction: despite sometimes being listed as "over-ear" online, the WH-CH520 is an on-ear headphone design, so it sits against the ears rather than enclosing them completely.

Finished in understated Black, the Sony WH-CH520 is a cracking everyday wireless headphone for anyone who values long battery life, customisable sound and fuss-free Bluetooth connectivity. From the morning commute to an evening playlist, they're designed to be the pair you grab without even thinking about it.
