More music, less noise. Two microphones in each ear cup and dual noise sensor technology capture the sounds in your environment. This allows you to block out ambient noise anywhere and focus entirely on your music.
Smarter listening. The integrated V1 processor eliminates external sounds with its short processing delay, making noise cancelling more effective than ever before.
Even more natural ambient sounds. In Ambient Sound mode, the WH-CH720N headphones capture surrounding sounds even more accurately through their feedforward and feedback microphones, allowing you to enjoy a natural listening experience while staying connected to your surroundings. Through the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can adjust the ambient sound levels across a spectrum of 20 levels. Alternatively, you can use the voice focus setting so you can keep wearing your headphones during a conversation.
Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to your activity. The intelligent adaptive noise control recognizes where you are and what you are doing, and adjusts the ambient sound settings for an ideal listening experience accordingly. It even recognizes places you frequent, such as your workplace, the gym, or your favorite café, and switches the sound mode based on the environment.
Lightweight, wireless noise cancelling. The WH-CH720N headphones weigh only 192 g, making them our lightest wireless over-ear headphones with noise cancelling – ultra-comfortable without compromising on technology.
More comfort, more music. The WH-CH720N headphones feature soft, oval ear pads, allowing you to enjoy your favorite music without having to take the headphones off in between. Soft synthetic leather and polyurethane materials, combined with optimal ear pad structure and size, provide exceptional wearing comfort.

The Sony WH-C720N won by far in this price category. Among other things, it owes this to its pleasant sound. The sound improves even more when you carefully boost the treble in the Sony Headphones app. The WH-C720N inherited adjustable noise-cancelling from its more expensive brothers. However, it's not as effective as the Sony 1000. The battery life, on the other hand, is in the upper league.
