Over-ear headphones £99 whf.cm/WH_CH720N
Sony is, right now, the Manchester City of the wireless audio world, dominating the competition over the past few years with hit after five-star hit.
Entering this rather rosy scene (for Sony) are the WH-CH720N, which aim to fill a gap in the market by offering ANC and a more premium build quality at a reasonable price. These are designed as a pair of cans for those who aren't keen on forking out a few hundred quid for a more premium pair of over-ears, but don't want to skimp on ANC or suffer a significant drop in audio fidelity by opting for the entry-level WH-CH520.
As you might expect at this kind of price, these cans are hardly a lavish affair; but they are solid, well made and reasonably comfortable for a pair of sub-£100 cans. Uncluttered and unassuming, this is a pair of headphones designed to get the job done. No fuss. No flourishes. All business.
No, the CH720N don't fold up and away, nor do they come with a designated carry case, something that we'd still like to see at this admittedly modest price point. Crucially, though, they feel good in the hand.
