The WH-CH710N does not impress me with the overall build quality or sound quality, while the ANC and ambient sound modes are average. For S$249, it is one of the least pricy ANC headphones among the big brands, and considering the WH-1000XM3 costs almost double, the WH-CH710N is a compromise and is...

Lightweight and comfortable; Relaxed audio tuning; full and not too bright; Long battery life

Plastic build does not match the price; Average ANC and Ambient Sound; No app support; Long voice prompts when switching ANC modes

The WH-CH710N is the latest wireless headphone from Sony boasting superior audio quality, battery life and noise cancellation at an affordable price point. Sony WH-CH710N has been launched at Rs 9,990 and is positioned as an affordable alternative to the top-end WH-1000XM3, which is one of the best...

As much as we wanted the Sony WH-CH710N Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones to be a more affordable alternative to Sony's flagship WH-1000XM3 headphones, they simply don't fit the bill.

Cheap(ish) for their feature set; Adaptive noise cancellation; Fun; energetic sound; 35-hour battery life

Mostly plastic build; Mediocre noise cancellation; No traveling case; Long charging time

Sony makes some of the best noise-canceling headphones around, especially the WH-1000XM3 (which is overdue for a replacement). The WH1000XM3 is a premium set of headphones that regularly goes for around $300 , and competing products like the Bose QuietComfort 35 II and Jabra Elite 85h aren't far...

Noise-canceling Active noise cancellation is the main selling point here, and it works well; USB Type-C While Sony has been a long-time supporter of USB Type-C on audio products, it's nice to see when many other comparable headphones are still using microUSB.

Sound quality The audio quality is fine, but it doesn't quite match what you get from more expensive headphones; Controls The small size and similar texture of the playback controls take some getting used to.

Sony WH-CH710 uses something called the Artificial Intelligent Noise Cancellation (AINC) while Sennheiser uses the audibly superior active noise cancellation (ANC). But for the price difference, it is a tough choice. I’m glad it isn’t my headache to pick one off the shelves!

For budget-conscious buyers, the Sony WH-CH710N is a great way to get some of Sony's best features....

Great feature set; Long battery life; Good sound

Occasionally uncomfortable; Noise canceling could be better

Even until last year, headphone makers argued that Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is an expensive feature, and thus, reserved for premium sets. But here we are in 2020 - a sudden influx of competition, and perhaps volume sales, has brought prices down.

The Sony WH-CH710N Wireless noise cancelling headphones are fairly simple over-ears. They have a comfortable fit, and their over 23-hou...
