Sony WH-CH720N Wireless Noise Canceling Over-Ear Headphones
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: 192 grams is the specification that matters most here, because it is roughly 60 g lighter than the flagship and that is the difference between comfortable at hour four and not. The honest limit is the codec list: SBC and AAC only, no LDAC, so an Android user streaming high-resolution audio is not getting it. Noise cancellation is genuinely good on aircraft and traffic rumble and mediocre on office conversation, which is true of all ANC and rarely said.
Who should buy this
Anyone wanting long comfortable wear and real ANC on commutes without flagship pricing.
Who should avoid this
Android users wanting LDAC, and anyone expecting ANC to remove nearby speech.

After a few months
Had this a full season now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. 35 hours with ANC on, and 3 minutes of charge gives about an hour. Still mildly irritated by one thing: SBC and AAC only — no LDAC or aptX. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Four stars, and here is the fifth — SBC and AAC only
192 g, noticeably lighter than flagship models, over long sessions. The one thing to know before ordering: SBC and AAC only — no LDAC or aptX. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Does the one thing I bought it for
192 g, noticeably lighter than flagship models, over long sessions. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: 35 hours with ANC on, and 3 minutes of charge gives about an hour. No regrets after most of a year.

Specs match the listing
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "Weight". The page says 192 g, and that is what turned up. 192 g, noticeably lighter than flagship models, over long sessions.

Wrong product for my situation
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Android users wanting LDAC, and anyone expecting ANC to remove nearby speech. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.
