Sony WH-CH720N White
Score: 75/100
Sony ULT WEAR with ANC
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Sony ULT WEAR (WHULT900N) delivers powerful bass, adaptive ANC with up to -22.9 dB attenuation, and up to 44 hours of battery life. Its bass-heavy tuning and inability to use LDAC while multipoint are notable trade-offs. It targets bass enthusiasts and travelers who prioritize long endurance and strong noise cancellation.
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. However, they note that the ANC depth, sound distortion, and average timbre fall short of premium competitors, positioning the headphones as a value-focused choice rather than a high-end audiophile solution.
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.
Professional reviewers commend the ULT WEAR for its comfortable fit, impressive ANC attenuation, and exceptional battery endurance, while highlighting the bass-forward tuning that can mask vocals and the inability to use LDAC alongside multipoint as notable drawbacks.
Everyday users echo the professional praise for comfort, long battery life, and effective noise cancellation, but many express frustration with the default bass-heavy sound signature and the limitation of not being able to listen while the headphones charge.
