Pros
My fave headphones
This is the third pair i have bought in 3 years because they are the most comfortable headphones. The last 2 pairs did snap in the same spot (where the headphone joint pivots). One broke when I accidentally squashed them in a suitcase, the other pair broke while I was wearing them.

Great value
The Sony WH-CH520 Wireless headphones are a solid everyday option with clear sound, comfortable lightweight design and excellent battery life. Bluetooth connection is reliable, and the headphones are easy to use for music, calls, studying and commuting. They are not designed for premium noise cancellation or deep bass, but they offer very good value for their price.

The Sony WH-CH520 in beige is an entry-level wireless on-ear headphone for everyday listening, calls, and study. It suits students, commuters, and home users who want light comfort, long battery life, and easy switching between two devices.

Things to consider
These headphones do not include active noise cancelling, so they are less effective in blocking train, traffic, or office noise than premium alternatives.
Noise cancelling effectiveness
2/10 - No active noise cancelling, so it relies mainly on basic on-ear passive isolation.
All-day comfort score
8/10 - Lightweight construction and a simple on-ear fit suit long casual listening sessions.
Commuter suitability
7/10 - Portable, light, and long-lasting, but less ideal for very noisy trains or buses due to no ANC.
Audiophile vs casual fit
Best for casual listening rather than audiophile-focused critical listening
Multi-device flexibility
8/10 - Multipoint support makes switching between two connected devices convenient for daily use.
Key benefits
- Long Battery Life: Up to 40 hours of playback helps cover several days of regular listening between charges.
- Lightweight On-Ear Design: The light build is easier to wear for extended study, work, and casual listening sessions.
- Multipoint Pairing: Stay connected to two devices at once, making it easier to switch between a phone and laptop.
- Built-In Microphone: Handles everyday voice calls without needing a separate headset or inline mic.
- Swivelling Earcups: The earcups turn flat for easier packing in a bag when travelling or commuting.
- App-Based Sound Control: The Headphones Connect app lets you adjust EQ settings to better suit your music, podcasts, or videos.
- Bluetooth 5.2 Wireless Listening: Provides cable-free listening with broad compatibility across modern phones, tablets, and laptops.
- Fast Charging Support: A short 3-minute top-up can provide about 1.5 hours of playback when you need a quick boost.
Q: Can I use these headphones with a cable when the battery dies?
A: No. Sony WH-CH520 is a Bluetooth-only headphone with no 3.5mm jack, and its USB-C port is for charging only. If the battery runs flat, playback stops until it has enough charge again to reconnect wirelessly.
Q: Do these Sony headphones have active noise cancelling for commuting?
A: No. Sony WH-CH520 does not have active noise cancelling. It uses a closed-back on-ear design, so it can reduce some outside sound passively, but bus, train and office noise will still be more noticeable than on ANC models.
Q: Will the WH-CH520 connect to a Samsung TV by Bluetooth?
A: Yes, if the TV supports Bluetooth audio output. Sony WH-CH520 pairs wirelessly with compatible TVs for private listening, but TVs without Bluetooth audio will need a separate transmitter to connect these headphones.
Q: How does multipoint work on the Sony WH-CH520?
A: Multipoint lets Sony WH-CH520 stay connected to two devices at once, such as a phone and a laptop. You can switch between them without re-pairing each time, though the feature needs to be turned on in the Headphones Connect app.
Q: How long does the WH-CH520 battery last between charges?
A: Sony WH-CH520 is rated for 50 hours of playback with AAC or 45 hours with SBC. A 3-minute charge gives about 1.5 hours of listening, but there is no wired backup option if the battery is fully flat.
Q: Do the earcups fold flat for easier packing in a bag?
A: Yes. The earcups swivel flat, so Sony WH-CH520 sits more neatly in a bag than a rigid on-ear design. The earcups do not fold inward into a compact travel shape, so they still take up more space than fully folding headphones.
