Product details
Your sound, your way. Customize the sound to suit your preferences. Choose from a variety of presets that adjust the audio quality to match the genre of music you are currently listening to. Or set your own preferences with the EQ Custom feature in the Sony Headphones Connect app.
Natural-sounding music. When an original music medium is compressed, high-frequency elements that provide detail and rich sound are lost. Our Digital Sound Enhancement Engine restores these faithfully to produce high sound quality closer to the original recording.
Certified headphones for a personalized experience. With 360 Reality Audio certified headphones from Sony and the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can optimize the experience through an analysis of your ear shape and immerse yourself in captivating sounds.
Days of listening pleasure. With a battery life of up to 50 hours, you can enjoy your favorite music without worrying about the battery level. When the battery is low, a quick charge of just 3 minutes allows you to listen for up to 1.5 hours more.
Comfort without compromise. Featuring an adjustable headband, soft ear cushions, and a lightweight design, these headphones fit perfectly and remain comfortable for long periods.
User-friendly hands-free function. With a simple tap on the buttons on the ear cup, you can easily answer calls without needing to take your smartphone out of your pocket.
Integrated microphone for clearer calls. The WH-CH520 features a high-quality built-in microphone and noise-canceling processing that suppresses background noise during calls, allowing you to have clear conversations even in noisy environments.
Not just for listening to music. Whether you're enjoying music, participating in an online training session, or working from home, your headphones always deliver the best sound quality.
