Professional reviewers commend the WH-CH720N for delivering flagship-like features-long battery life, solid ANC, lightweight comfort, and a feature-rich app-at a more affordable price point. However, they note the plastic build, uneven sound tuning, and occasional Bluetooth pairing quirks, and they point out that the ANC doesn't match Sony's top-tier models.
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the headphones for their impressive battery endurance, comfort, and clear call quality, while repeatedly mentioning the cheap feel of the plastic housing and heat buildup in the ear cups. The lack of a folding design or travel case also surfaces as a common complaint.
