Sony WH-CH720N White
Score: 75/100
Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 delivers powerful haptic bass, adjustable digital ANC, and up to 60-hour battery life with rapid charging. Its heavy weight and reliance on a companion app, plus lack of high-resolution codecs, may deter some users. Best suited for bass enthusiasts and commuters who value long battery and immersive sound.
The Sony WH-CH720N are lightweight over-ear Bluetooth headphones offering up to 50 hours of playback and active noise cancellation. Their ANC and sound quality are only moderate, and the design lacks a folding mechanism. Ideal for budget-conscious commuters seeking long battery life.

Professional reviewers consider the WH-CH720N a solid mid-tier offering, commending its lightweight design, long battery life, and V1 processor-driven ANC that delivers respectable low-frequency reduction.

Everyday users generally praise the headphones for their comfort, impressive battery endurance, clear call quality, and the flexibility of the Sony app for sound tuning. Recurring criticisms focus on the moderate ANC effectiveness, earpad heat and stickiness, a tight fit for glasses wearers, and occasional Bluetooth stability issues.
