Sony WH-CH710N Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones Blue

So I will start on the negative, got this to play on my PS4, I was aware that my PS4 didn't have Bluetooth audio capability, but what I was unaware of is that if you use the corded method for Audio, that the Microphone doesn't work. So that is a large issue for me because the games I play almost certainly require comms.Now I saw a couple reviews that the outside of the headset gets a crack within a week, so I've been careful with them and haven't noticed anything yet. So as long as your not rough when taking them off you should be good, and they've been through a couple drops and have been fine.The sound quality is awesome and the noise cancelling is great, they are well worth the price. I've been in a couple phone calls where I sounded horrible and a couple ... MoreSo I will start on the negative, got this to play on my PS4, I was aware that my PS4 didn't have Bluetooth audio capability, but what I was unaware of is that if you use the corded method for Audio, that the Microphone doesn't work.

Alright

Sony's WH-CH710N Wireless over-ear headphones that feature active noise cancellation (ANC). They offer a snug fit and a nearly 30-hour continuous battery life, making them great for extended days on the go. Their bass-heavy sound profile gives your favourite music an extra thud and punch. But their sound is average cause the mids and highs are lacking in clarity. The ear cups aren't very deep and they do not fold at the hinges. Unfortunately, their ANC is not great and does not effectively filter out background noise, and they have no sound adjustment options via the Sony headphones app that they have no support for. Having said that, these simple over-ears provide a rather adaptable overall performance. These also do not come with a carrying case.

Buyer beware not worth more than $68 BF deal 2022

Bought these headphones with the Black Friday deal for $68 & I’m pretty dissatisfied with them entirely. They originally go for around $150 which is absolutely absurd to pay for this kind of quality. If I originally had to pay the $150 they would be returned immediately. They are barely worth the $68 already. They leak sound very bad - forget bringing them to the library or somewhere quieter. Noise cancelling doesn’t work the best & headphones themselves are not that loud. I can have them on the highest volume & still my AirPods are way louder. They don’t connect to my phone when calls come in & I’ve had so many issues with listening to something & calls start coming in & I’m completely unable to get them to connect all of a sudden & makes them useless. & one of THE ... MoreBought these headphones with the Black Friday deal for $68 & I’m pretty dissatisfied with them entirely.

They don’t connect to my phone when calls come in & I’ve had so many issues with listening to something & calls start coming in & I’m completely unable to get them to connect all of a sudden & makes them useless. & one of THE most annoying thing is that these do NOT stay on your head at all if you’re moving, bending over, light walks/jog. They fall/ slip off super easy which makes them very inconvenient overall. You can’t make them any smaller on the band either so there’s pretty much nothing you can do to make them stay. They’re overall very cheap quality/material & feel as if I can break them easily. This makes me very turned off from purchasing headphones with a higher price tag from Sony in the future.

Disappointing

This does not perform as I thought it would. I could have done due diligence but I was not aware these things could even be issues.Bluetooth has strong limitations. If I want to use the headphones to call someone, all other sounds are cut out. If I use the wire, the mic of the headphones do not work (why??). The wire provided is too short for my use case.Bluetooth needs to be quite close or the connection will cut every other moment briefly.On the positive side, these headphones are better than the other ones we had. The padding goes around your ear, directly on your head. This is good since otherwise if you keep pressure on your ears for hours, your ears will be in pain.The battery's duration has not been an issue for us.The voice that says "power on" and ... MoreThis does not perform as I thought it would.

So this is positive.Next time I buy headphones, I will make sure that they have a long wire with a mic that can work when wired.

Good but some flaws

I think the actual sound quality and bass are very good. The audio does leak a little at max volume which is unfortunate. The actual build quality of the headphones feel cheap and flimsy but they are somewhat comfortable, even when wearing headphones. One major complaint is the noise cancelling and ambiance mode do very minimal, I cant tell when theyre on or off because they do not work too well. The microphone quality is somewhat bad, it sounds like a very cheap microphone. It also is not too portable as they do not fold or come with a carrying case. Charging is very slow compared to other ones like Skullcandy Hesh ANC which is significantly cheaper.Summary: Outstanding Sound and bass. Mediocre noise cancelling and ambiance mode. Cheap feeling build quality and ... MoreI think the actual sound quality and bass are very good. The audio does leak a little at max volume which is unfortunate.

Great Headphones for College Students

I'm a nursing student currently in my 3rd year at university and I wanted to get wireless headphones for watching and re-watching lectures. I wanted something that had a wired and wireless option, had noise cancellation and ambience, were over-ear, and (most-importantly) didn't break the bank. I wasn't looking for the cream of the crop, just something that meets my needs. And these headphones do just that! They are very comfortable and very easy for my boomer brain to operate. The battery life is amazing, and you can use it wired if it randomly runs out (which is kinda unlikely if you're monitoring battery life). They meet my needs as a college student and do me well.Despite these things, I have some critiques. First, the ear pads are shallow so don't expect ... MoreI'm a nursing student currently in my 3rd year at university and I wanted to get wireless headphones for watching and re-watching lectures.

They meet my needs as a college student and do me well.Despite these things, I have some critiques. First, the ear pads are shallow so don't expect your ears to not touch the inside of the headphone. Second, the noise cancellation is okay, but it isn't the best. I used them while in a particularly chatty part of my campus's main library and I could still hear a considerable amount of sound. Granted they were doing renovations, but still, don't expect to hear absolutely nothing while in a noisy area. Third, it isn't as portable as other headphones. This Sony model can't fold in on itself like the Wh-1000xm 4, so if you are putting it in your backpack while commuting, know that it takes up a considerable amount of space, with or without a carrying case (which does not come with the headphones. you gotta buy them, also unlike the wh-1000xm 4)Overall, these headphones are a noteworthy option for a college student who is wanting a pair of headphones that does everything you need it to do without breaking the bank. Because this model is cheaper, there will be drawbacks and design changes, and it is certainly not as good as Sony's higher-priced models. It was never meant to be better, it was meant to be enough. And that is what this product is. Enough, and for me, more than enough.

New version is definitely better

My wife needed a new headset since her new phone no longer has a phone jack in it. After seeing my older version of this model and liking it she got this one.It took a bit of doing to pair this headset up to the phone (possibly because we were flying at the time and the narrow seats do not make this a conducive environment for anything. They paired to my phone when I removed my old set from the list and the phone's settings were identical, so I am not sure where the difficulty lay. When we got to the hotel I was able to pair the headset with both of our phones with no problem.The most definitive difference is that this set has much better noise reduction than the old set. That factor alone makes this a worthy replacement. This was noticed in the plane flight back ... MoreMy wife needed a new headset since her new phone no longer has a phone jack in it.

That factor alone makes this a worthy replacement. This was noticed in the plane flight back home where I bounced between the two headsets . I have since tried them in an office environment where they performed equally as well.On the negative side they are as bulky as the old pair, just as heavy, and just as bad at causing sweating but that is more than compensated for by the excellent sound and noise reduction.All in all, I like this headset.

Review for Sony WH-CH710N Headphones:

After owning my Airpods for three years, I wanted to try buying headphones for a change. I was looking for good, sturdy, and also good quality black headphones. These checked all the boxes. After the first try when they arrived, I instantly loved them. The sound quality is very amazing. It feels like you have two loudspeakers in your ears and helps mute background noises. For a first-time headphone user, these are great. They are also much more affordable compared to the wh-1000xm4. What I liked:The color- Sound quality- Price- They feel lightweight on both your shoulders when not in use and head when they are in use- The battery lasted long Things that could be improved:- Although the sound quality is good, the noise canceling could work better- The ... MoreAfter owning my Airpods for three years, I wanted to try buying headphones for a change.

I would rate this 4/5 stars. It’s a pretty good pair of standard headphones. I think you could find better Sony headphones but they would be more expensive. For the price, the quality is top-notch and durable.

Stands Up As Well to Heavy Use as Others

I need to wear noise cancelling headphones nearly 100 percent of the time when I am at home. As I am currently located right in front of an agri business with flexible work hours the sound of bulldozers pushing dirt around may begin as early as 5 am.While I had been a heavy user of headphones before here there is no good time to be without so versus gaming or working remotely ( as an early adapter so 13 years later I was able to help those not used to it on work- life balance ) the headphones in use stand a good chance of my falling asleep with them.As it is a need ( I have synesthesia so unexpected sound is a bit like taking a blender to my brain ) I try to have no fewer than two working good quality and a back up whatever is on sale not to expensive so I am ... MoreI need to wear noise cancelling headphones nearly 100 percent of the time when I am at home.

The audio is still good but as a tight fit is vital to my needs this was a problem.In that time it outlasted a total of 3 ( 1 and 2 replacements ) of a brand primarily aimed at gamers which has a lot to say about durability and now my extended warranty with another retailer is not being honoured despite those ones having a 2 year manufacturer and add standard extended I am not there yet.I am probably a bit on the cranky side given the combination of both synesthesia and autism can make headphones invested in very life or death weight that may be fairly unique given auditory to visual field synesthesia is low incidence and the type I experience low incidence within it - I could be a set of one in how serious this is as a need )With it difficult to afford the kind some friends easily get funded I had modest expectations for these when they were on sale in the first Black Thursday of pandemic mode but they stood up exceptionally well .Their battery life may actually be underestimated which I have not seen in other electronics.Sound is good and while i used it mostly with computers that have additional audio programs when using it with my back up , is barely a computer device , the sound did not take that big a hit other than in nice to have personal streaming tuning but overall still great

Worth the Price

I was looking for good quality noise cancelling headphones under $ 100.00 and came across the Sony WH-CH710N wireless noise cancelling headphones offered at a sales event at BestBuy. My choice of color was grey. I paid only $68.00, and it is well worth it. The noise cancelling function works well. By switching the ambient noise off it can be made more effective. The headphones are light weight and portable, good for travelling. Unfortunately, there is no control to adjust the base. I find the base a little too high for my comfort. Overall, it is a good headphone for the price. It also came with a free 4-month trial period for Amazon music which can be cancelled at any time without a charge. The whole package will make a nice gift for Christmas.
