Sony is about to debut a lot of new audio products this year. But one that has got everyone pumped up is the new Sony WH-CH720N.
From what the earlier leaks suggested, the new pair of headphones is going to be more affordable than the previous iteration.
In other words, you might soon be able to get good quality Active Noise Cancellation headphones from Sony.
But the pricing is not the only fantastic thing about the upcoming WH-CH720N. The successor of the Sony WH-CH710N will also boast a great spec sheet.
To start with, the upgraded Sony WH-CH720N will come with Bluetooth 5.2. This Bluetooth is not only going to enhance the wireless range, but it will also make the wireless connections much more stable.
Then, you have the Bluetooth Multipoint feature. Thanks to that, you will be able to keep the Sony WH-CH720N connected to multiple devices at the same time. And transition from one source to another will be hassle-free too.
Spec-wise, the most crucial factor is the Sony V1 Chip. Yes, it is the same MediaTek MT2822-based processor that’s available in the Sony WH-1000XM5 and Sony WF-1000XM4.
And in case you didn’t know, those two are the current flagship offering from Sony. That means the affordable Sony WH-CH720N might be able to offer great Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
In fact, the fans are expecting the ANC performance to be similar to the current flagships. Sony seems to have considered the comfort factor of the WH-CH720N bit further.
It will be lighter than the Sony WH-CH710N. That is, the leak suggests that the WH-CH720N will weigh just 192 grams.
The predecessor was 223 grams, which means that the new headphone will be much more comfortable for prolonged music sessions.
Moreover, the WH-CH720N will feature great overall padding throughout. And the thick padding on the headband and the earcups will further enhance the comfort factor of the headphones.
The Sony WH-CH720N will even impress you in terms of battery life. According to the leak, the headphones can offer up to 35 hours of run time with a single charge. That, too, with the ANC turned on. So you might not need to charge it that often.
Overall, things are looking pretty great for the WH-CH720N. If the leak is sharing the right info, it will definitely be a great pick as the best affordable ANC headphones of 2023.
Even the design of the headphones looks good in the leak. So, it’s not like you will feel like wearing something cheap if you do eventually get it after the launch.
