Don't buy this overpriced junk, and get the Soundcore Life Q35 instead. It beats Sony's tuning by a mile once you have the graphic EQ tweaked properly.

i have bad experiance with headphones my really expensive ones broke in half recently and in wondering how sturdy the build is?
hows the noise canceling compared to airpods pro?
Thanks for your review! Don't think Sony (with their bass enhanced sound) will have that tonal balance you're looking for...but it works well for certain genres.. The mic test...impressed me. Busy intersection, yet you could be easily understood (though your voice did sound a tad muffled). The background noise was reduced by a decent amount (more than I expected).

Hey, thanks for the review! I was wondering how much they leak sound like in ur surroundings?

Its a big problem with my current headphones so I want to know with these before buying :)

These are actually excellent sounding headphones if you use the Sony app to set the equaliser. Hint: wind down the bass and treble, wind up the midrange. Like a bell curve.
This is the best mid-range ANC with superb sound quality. Just bought mine, it was worth every penny! I can wear it all day and no headache or sore it is very light yet feels premium!
Had these and won't stop disconnecting to my Samsung S8 tab,just uninstalled the appNow fine,funny because on my S6 lite and Pixel phone, no problem, Great headphones for the price👍👍👍

If you were to choose between wh-h910n and the wh-ch720n, which would you choose? I've been on a journey online with some people saying that the 910n's are outdated and some people saying that the 720n's are crap and you should never get them. If the 910n's are maybe $30 more expensive than the 720n's in my area, would you get them?

Thanks for the great review. I´ve heard that the Sony WH CH720 N head piece is made of a fragile plastic, specially on the pieces that join the drivers with the headset so it can easily break down. On the other hand, what about the ear pads material quality? For those who have been wearing them for over a year, please let me know your experience.

I had the JBL 660nc live headset but I lost them and now I have to buy a new set. I saw your review on them and you said you would prefer these ones. I was going to try these out but they don't have on/off ear detection and I got so used to just taking them off my ears and them pausing automatically and for that reason I think it's a deal breaker for me and I'll be re purchasing the JBL headset.
This vs jbl 710bt which has better sound, ignoring anc
Thank you for your detailed and meticulous review. I wonder if the earpads get less fluffy and shallow over time. Will the headphone hurt my ears or head even if I wear it for a long time (about 2-3 hours or more)?

I have both sony is miles ahead esp with the app to customise eq
I do find a good reason to change the eq levels based on your location. Let’s say you go to the gym, and the music you listen at the gym is more base dominant, so you’ll wanna have a good eq mix for that genre. Same thing with a library, you wanna have a good eq mix for a more soothing genre

I haven't used the XB910 but generally it comes down to whether you want bass or not (at least from a sound quality point of view... I like the 720 which is still bass boosted but done to an extent and in a way that doesn't affect the clarity of the mids as much.. Ps: thanks for becoming a member!

If it helps, xb910 has an awful tuning in the bass. It can be fixed to a certain level with Poweramp but it has to be extremely tweaked. The 720s have much better tuning, not perfect though, but will take eq easier. Yoy can make theme sound really well and certainly more spacious. It's a shame not having LDAC with this tuning and so does the 910s have it. I agree, good hardware+good tuning is better than a codec+poor tuning. However, since the 720s can be played wired while being on and taking advantage of the DSP, at least you can try lossless audio that way
