Okay, let's talk about these Sony WH-CH720N headphones that I've been using for months now. They're... complicated.
First off - the GOOD: The noise cancellation is legit impressive for under $100. I didn't hear my neighbor's dog barking for the first time in years. The battery lasts forever (seriously, I charge like once a week). And they're so light I sometimes forget I'm wearing them.
But here's the BUT: Those damn ear cushions. Sony, why you gotta make them so small? After an hour, my ears feel like they've been in a vise. And those weird microphone bumps inside? Who approved that design?
The sound quality out of the box was meh until I messed with the EQ settings (download the app!). Now they sound pretty decent for casual listening.
Final verdict? At $150 - overpriced. At $70-90 (where they often go on sale) - solid deal if you don't have giant ears. Just don't expect XM5-level magic.
