What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
The Sony WH-CH720N punches well above its sub-$150 price tag and earns its spot as Sony's lightest wireless ANC headphone to date. WhatGear positions it as "an affordable version of the 1000XM5," and Recordingnow says they offer "similar sound quality and pure listening enjoyment to headphones costing $200 to $400." The lightweight build (the lightest in Sony's lineup) and well-cushioned headband earned a 5/5 comfort score from What Hi-Fi. Sound quality is the genuine selling point — Sony's tuning expertise carries over, and Alexa is built in for hands-free control.

Where it falls short
- Doesn't fold flat — bulkier to pack than rivals
- Plastic build feels budget
- ANC is decent but well behind flagship Sony models
- Lower rating (4.4) than top competitors here

Sound quality is the genuine selling point — Sony's tuning expertise carries over, and Alexa is built in for hands-free control. Reddit users on r/SonyHeadphones praise the performance-per-dollar but note the build materials feel budget. The ANC is effective for office and commute use, though it's not in the same league as the XM5/XM6.
What Hi-Fi notes the design is "basic but sturdy" and they don't fold, which hurts portability. They also lack the premium feel of pricier alternatives. But for someone who wants Sony sound tuning, light weight, and great comfort on a budget, these deliver.
