I personally don’t like my ears getting hot So I got the 520 Plus the battery lasts way longer ! They are great ! And they were on sale at Walmart for $39.99 Well worth the money Plus I only use them on discord to hear my friends as a headset or my games on my PC The mic I have is a Logitech so I haven’t put the built in mic to use which I’m never going to so I can’t speak on the mic quality So these are perfect for what I needed
Love that you included that the air passes through the air for the CH520. I needed that. For over-ear headphone, my ear feels the heat as there's no air and would get very uncomfortable.
@@IdiotBox86 That really helps! I'm looking for something to wear for binge watching and on my route of travel! Thank you for this! Looking forward to save up and buy these✨️
Hi! What about budjets? AKG K361-BT / Sony WH CH720N / JBL tune 770nc / something else. What would you recommend in this price? For music listening only (rock, blues, techno). Thanks a lot.
I personally haven't had a chance to hear the AKG K361-BT, but I hear they are very good for the price. I'd personally go for either the AKG or the Sony but hard to tell without listening to them. Maybe you can go offline and check them out at a store?
Hi i know this is a bit late but wanted your opinion. I'm confused between 520 and 720. I don't care about noise cancellation or 3.5mm jack. I want sound quality (bass heavy is preferred) and no sound leakage. I can buy 720 but does it make sense to pay almost double the price of 520? I'm fine with on the ear design of 520 if sound leakage is not that much. Also, I game only on windows so when connected wirelessly, is there any noticeable latency or pag issues? Are 720 worth paying those extra bucks if I don't care about noise cancellation or will i be fine with 520? Also on amazon 520 are not sold by their flagship seller so is it reliable or do i wait for appraprio to sell them?
if you will be playing games on the PC, then go for something with a physical connection like 3.5mm or a dedicated dongle to avoid latency. rest, I think you've answered most of your queries yourself. The 520 have once leakage but at high volumes, it is more than i'd like.
@@IdiotBox86 I don't play competitive games. Just some casual single player ones. Latency is not an issue but the less the better. Also i dont want different headphones for different use cases. Is leakage in 520 too much? Do you recommend 720 at their current price or do i wait for a sale ? I just want bang for my buck thats it.
@@IdiotBox86 oh nicee, i have a pair of m50x and couldn't wear it much cause it weighs like 250-270gms, now imma have to cop a pair of these. thanks! have a nice one 🙏
In my experience, they get the job done quite well. But I recommend you visit a local offline store near you and experience them before making a purchase decision.
Just bought the 720s last week since I'm more used to over ears and I'm glad I went with them. Sound is great, they're comfy and I already love the noise canceling, even though I wasn't originally looking for that specifically. Also bought a case since I don't need them getting banged up iny backpack when going around my college campus.
Great review! Was searching for this comparison, couldn't find much!! Loved it! A couple of questions : 1. How's the sound leakage on both of them. Like which leaks more? 2. Which of these are more comfortable?
My gf has the 520, I do like them, they sound perfect and with the app you can really adjust the sound as you want, the only problem for me is that they are too little and I'm looking for something bigger so I'll probably go with the 720, the 3.5mm jack is a plus if I want to game too!
this video is great and so informative! it's like this was exactly what i was looking for, and you went over every single point that could sway my decision. thank you so much!! my only question is, if i'm a college student that travels on the daily, would you recommend investing in ANC? or will the passive NC of the 520 be enough?
Depends on how much traffic noise bothers you. If you want absolute isolation, then go for ANC. The passive NC of the 520 is enough to drown out small noises heard at home but not traffic.
Don't know if you've made your decision yet but I've been using the 520 for more than an year now and the lack of ANC is honestly its only downside. I didn't even know that it has a "passive NC" because I can hear basically everything outside unless I have some audio playing at medium volume at least.
How are the 520 for studying? can they block some noise like fan and etc. And are they comfortable enough to wear them for 3-4hrs straight with glasses?
Comfortable enough to wear for 3-4 hours with glasses - Yes. Depending on the volume of the headphones they can block out some noise but not all. I suggest you give them a go at a Sony store before investing.
I am confused between Sony and JBL headphones, my preference is only crystal clear sound quality with good calling quality, which should i choose at same price segment?
I have large round head and have spects. I want to watch movies and music. Sound quality should be clear I am not bass fan. Does sony 520 hurt head or give pressure near ears?
Hi, what a great review this was! Being someone who doesn't get too involved in the specifications of technology I thought 15 mins would be too deatiled/long but I listened through and through. Thanks for doing such a thorough job and considering so many aspects. One question- how does the 520 compare to the Apple airpods in terms of sound quality and comfort.

hey, thank you so much for your comment! I think the difference between headphones and earphones is personal preference. I prefer headphones as I can hardly ever find ear tips that fit comfortably well especially when I am on the go. so for this, I prefer something like the 520 where I don't want noise cancelling and I need to hear the environment around me. having said that, "audio quality" is quite subjective and I highly recommend you go to an offline store and listen to the headphones before making a purchase decision.
Thanks for the useful review!!! I'm very undecided between the 520 and the 720.. I'm looking for a comfortable model both for traveling and for staying at home concentrated on studying and working, the TV is always on in the living room. It would be good if it was comfortable at the same time even when I'm away from home. I already have the buds2 pro as earphones with ANC, but obviously they bother me in the long run, which is why I was looking for headphones. I would like to have an honest opinion about my condition from you. Thanks in advance
Hey, thanks for the comment. So the thing is, the 520 will let the audio from the world leak in and the 720 will cancel the notice but again, you may not be comfortable with them for prolonged use. Why don't you try them out at a retail store near you and maybe you will get an idea of which are the right ones for you?
Both have their pros and cons for comfort. The 520 is more open allowing your ears to breathe for long use. If you want noise cancelling then the 720N is much better but I couldn't use them for more than 60-90 min at a stretch. the 520, I could wear for much longer.
So, I think both have very good sound. the noise cancellation makes the 720 sound a bit better. The 720 is definitely more premium when compared to the 520. But both fulfil unique use cases. so, it depends on your use case, which one is right for you.
Hi, great review, and I would appreciate you answering almost every comment/query in the comment section in a way it clears doubts of others as well. My query is which one is better: ch510 or ch520 - as for my case on ear would be better as i require less of noise cancelation with 2-3 hours of usage (watching a movie on tv)
Go for the 520. You won’t be disappointed. However, I would recommended if you can check them out at an offline store. That’ll help with understanding the comfort of the headphones.
I am a girl who just uses headphone for listening to music on the way to work and during meetings. So, I chose 520 and I pretty much like it. It is very basic but very light weight and comfortable. I am now looking for a headphone for my boyfriend with big head. I wanted to buy him 520 again cuz he is not very picky about noise cancellation . However, because of the size, I might have to choose 720N. I wish they would release 520 in bigger size with over ears.
Nice video man real ur cooking it dude but i wanted to know is there better something comparable to the 520 and in the same budget of 4500 or 5000 coz look I'm a student i want good mic some good bass good vicals good app support(optional but i kinda want it too) good connectivity like if it has aux its cherry on the top my ears r small so it won't matter much with on ear(kaan k just above not fully covering) also 30+ hrs battery type c for sure.... so is there something u can recommend me plz I really need a good steal like in jbl or something or should i go with 520 i have offline stores i can check there but i want recommendations so i can make my buying choices acc to me not by the shopkeeper hope u reply fast ALSO PLEASE MENTION THE BT VERSION PLZZ
Hey can you recommend me a headphone under 6-8k. I used to use tws but my ears hurts after 40-60min. I used to go to the gym and want a good sound quality. And please can you also recommend me a tws between 6-8k if my mind changes i will later decide which one i will buy.
I think you should go to an offline store and try the headphones/TWS to find the ones that fit your ears best. You can check out offerings from Sony, OPPO, and more. Since I go running, these are the ones I use amzn.to/47leNes. You can also check these out - amzn.to/3S2WupU
I can't decide between Sony 720N and Edifier 820NB plus(which has LDAC) we also have soundcore space one (they give a hard carry case) the Sonys have the 3.5mm jack at this point.... my decision making is even worse than a woman shopping All i want is Superior Sound quality in this price range
@@IdiotBox86I haven't heard any of the headphones above. As for 3.5mm jack it's good to have ... Im guessing we can play music if the battery is discharged? But the most important for me is obviously the Sound quality, the immersive experience, at this price point
@@lavatr8322 The sound quality of both headphones is really good. Your purchase decision can be based on the following. If noise cancellation is important, then go for the 720N. else, the 520 should be good enough for you.
hello, just wanted to know as a student who is sharing a room with two others, without anc does the 520 still stop noises enough (esp people talking) for someone to be able to focus on studying?
Hello Your video is good. i am just looking for a headset/headphone which i can use for ms-teams , google meet, zoom calls, more than 6 hours a day. mic, audio quality should be good and should be comfortable for ears. can you please recommend a product for that regards
@@IdiotBox86 Thanks for your reply. For the past 5-6 years i am using Plantronics BT 600 , It is worn out. need to change. Just looking for comfortable, no pain in ear and clear audio quality since i work from home mostly. Let me try your suggestion. Thank you
I am very confused between the two options. I don't care much about ANC if the on-ear CH520 is more comfortable than the CH720N. I know on-ear headphones can hurt if worn for long hours, based on my experience from about 10 years ago. So, are the CH520 headphones comfortable enough for watching movies, or should I go for the CH720N since they are over-ear? The CH520 price is really good, and I'm hesitant to spend more on a budget headphone like the CH720N because, for that price, I could even get the Samsung Buds2 Pro. However, I want to try headphones rather than earbuds. Man, if only the CH520 were over-ear, it would be perfect. What would you suggest?
Would it be possible for you to visit an offline store and try them out? that will help you make a better decision. I would recommend the 520 for the price. sure, the pressure on the ears is a tad more than id like, especially since I wear glasses, but I think over time they will get loose enough to get comfortable.
@@IdiotBox86 No, it won't be possible for me to go to a store and check it, as that is not an option in my country. However, it's very interesting that you find the CH520 on-ear headphones more comfortable than the CH720N over-ear headphones. Almost everyone online and on Reddit seems to prefer over-ear headphones. It's intriguing that you find the CH520 on-ear headphones more comfortable for long hours of use
@@doctorsora I guess I have too big ears ;-). I find the WH1000-XM5s to be very comfortable because of my big ears. I always preferred on ear cos they let my ears breathe for long use. It does get very hot here in India and breathability is quite important for me.
Hi! Quick question. Has anyone tried wearing the Ch520 with glasses and smaller earrings on? I used to have this issue with my old headphones that it pressed my accessories to my ear and it hurt (esp. my earrings). Does anybody know if these are anything like that? Are they tight?
great questions. While I wear glasses, the headphones do press just a little when they are new. but with time, they get more comfortable. If you have piercings around the ear, it should hurt a bit as these are on ear and not around the ear headphones. Possible for you to visit a local offline store and try them out?
@@IdiotBox86 I'm searching for a store where I could try them on right now. I'll post some updates when I can visit one! (Either way, if they end up uncomfortable I think I'll just go with the 720N instead)
In my opinion, if it is just about sound, the 720 are better. I found a bit of EQ tuning dramatically opened them up, and removed some of the muddiness.
great review bro. Actually i have nothing ear 2 and i am looking for headphones under 10k for music and ANC. Are these pair of headphones better than nothing ear 2 in terms of sound quality and ANC? Nothing ear 2 supports LHDC whereas Sony is not even having LDAC. So i need your opinion on this bro
While fit and comfort is a personal perference, I think you should listen to them offline to know which one you like better for sound quality. The JBL has 3.5mm but the Sony does not. This is one thing to consider.
Hi, Great Review. Thumps up I am looking for good Sound Quality for day to day usage , i am not an audioprofile. just want to clarify if i should extend my budget and get the XM4 at Around 18K or Opt for 720N, is there a major difference in sound quality apart from much stronger ANC and other features or are they similar/close enough in terms of sound. I would prefer a bit of bass. Please let me know your input so i could make my purchase decision according.TIA
You have a great knack for making these sort of videos if anyone hasn't told you already. By the way, can you help me pick between 720, XM4 & XM5 ? Do you think 720 is a XM4/5 lite ? If I go for XM4s, is paying 5-6k extra worth it for XM5s ? Thoughts?
Thank you! appreciate the feedback. Help spread the word about the channel. As for your question. I would highly recommend you visit an offline store and experience all three for yourself. The XM5s are uber premium and are worth the price. The 720N are for those who are on a budget and want great sound and don't mind compromising on the build a bit when compared to the XM5's. At the end of the day, value for money is different for different people. SO I highly recommend you go and experience the headphones before purchasing.
Well, if you have already purchased it, then why go for something else? In my opinion, using the CH720N in a gym is a personal preference. The problem is that your ears can get quite sweaty in noise-cancelling headphones. Add to it the gym, and your ears could get uncomfortable. But since you have purchased it, what has your experience been like?
both are good. Depends on your budget and requirements for noise cancellation. if you want noise cancellation then go for the 720. Otherwise the 520 are fantastic as well.
If you only want to use it for calls, and no other reason, then you should check out headphones designed for calls as they will have a better mic. else, between these 2, go for the 520. I found them better for long term use.
Hi Sameer, hope you are doing good. Can you suggest between xb910n and 720n. XB910 comes with sony case. Did you ever use XB910n. I am confised between xb910 and 720n.
Hey, thanks for your comment. The main difference between the xb910n and 720n is that the xb190n have a more pronounced bass than the 720n. so if you like more bass, go for the 910n. If you like slightly more neutral sound, then go for the 720n.
@@GaganDua-t6r Depends on your use case, but I would recommend going to an offline store and checking them out for comfort, sound quality and other features before investing.
Thanks for the video it helped me a lot , i wanted your suggestion still my budget is 10k and i am looking for headphone which would have noise cancellation as i wanted it for taking online lectures because my students compliant sometimes about background noise also for my meetings.
Good option. But why not consider the Sony ULT as well for just a few thousand more? I have reviewed it on this channel. you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/E-XxsNkiHnY/видео.html
Which would be better during travel, like airports, metros/train, buses, footpaths, airplanes? I guess the 520 because its light or the 720 because of the ANC?
I think you have answered your question yourself. But let's break it down into 2 simple points. If ANC is important to you, then go for the 720N. I think they should work better than the 520, especially for airports. But I like to take long walks and be aware of my surroundings. Also, in the summer in north India, it gets quite hot. So for those reasons, the 520 are my choice.
@@IdiotBox86Thanks, You're right, I have almost shortlisted 520 because of the size and it could be more versatile, 720 has one disadvantage it gets hot quickly inside. I use the oppo m32, but the drivers are not enough for many sounds. I tried the Samsung buds fe, even though music was rich, again drivers are small, it wasn't practical for me and signal strength of the buds are poor over 7 feet. - Thanks
Hi, I personally think the 520 is more comfortable for long durations of use. the call quality is very good too. I personally cannot wear noise canceling headphones for a long stretch of time and if that's the case with you, then I recommend the 520. However, if noise cancelling is a priority, then you should try the 720 if possible before investing.
Thanks for the review. While using the 720n wired to the pc does it have any latency or you can use it to play competitive games like fps/battle royales?
I used it wired with a PS5 and Xbox Series X for single player games and did not notice any lag. However if you are a pro player, I recommend dedicated gaming headphones.
depends on your use case. However, keep these factors in mind. If you want 3.5mm connectivity and noise cancelling then go for the 720. If you don't want 3.5mm connectivity and want to wear headphones for a long time, then go for the 520.
The 520 connects to the Sony headphones app on a smartphone while the 510 does not. This means you can control the sound profile of the 520 but are stuck with the default profile on the 510. having said that the sound quality of the 510 is still very good and a great value-for-money option for the price. the 520 is slightly more compact with their dimensions, but nothing that will affect you greatly.
Hi Sameer, i liked your review. I have to buy between 520 and 720, can you suggest which one would be good. I want to go with 520 but it doesnt have noise cancellation feature. You also mentioned that it was difficult to wear 720 headphones more than 90 minutes in a single go. Which one should i buy?
Depends on your use case and requirements. What will you use the headphones for most? And also where? How important is it to drown out noise around you completely.
Thanks for the reply. I want to use headphones in my office and I don't want to get disturbed by the chit-chats of the colleagues. I also want to use headphones while travelling to watch some videos on artificial intelligence and Machine learning.
Hello sir, help me out here, really really really confused. I'm totally lost between Sennheiser 350BT and Sony Wh-Ch520. I almost do listen to every genre (Don't like much bass tho, my top priority is SOUND)
In that case, go for the Sony. you won't be disappointed. However, I recommend visiting an offline store and listening to both of them to make a better decision.
Definitely the best and most informative comparison between these two I’ve seen!
Thank you. Glad you liked it.

I personally don’t like my ears getting hot
So I got the 520
Plus the battery lasts way longer !
They are great !
And they were on sale at Walmart for $39.99

Plus I only use them on discord to hear my friends as a headset or my games on my PC
The mic I have is a Logitech so I haven’t put the built in mic to use which I’m never going to so I can’t speak on the mic quality
So these are perfect for what I needed

Great review! Was searching for this comparison, couldn't find much!! Loved it! A couple of questions :
1. How's the sound leakage on both of them. Like which leaks more?
2. Which of these are more comfortable?
The sound leakage is more from the 520. almost negligible from the 720N. however, at moderate volumes 50-60%, it isn't much from the 520 either.
My gf has the 520, I do like them, they sound perfect and with the app you can really adjust the sound as you want, the only problem for me is that they are too little and I'm looking for something bigger so I'll probably go with the 720, the 3.5mm jack is a plus if I want to game too!

I already have the buds2 pro as earphones with ANC, but obviously they bother me in the long run, which is why I was looking for headphones. I would like to have an honest opinion about my condition from you. Thanks in advance
Hey, thanks for the comment. So the thing is, the 520 will let the audio from the world leak in and the 720 will cancel the notice but again, you may not be comfortable with them for prolonged use. Why don't you try them out at a retail store near you and maybe you will get an idea of which are the right ones for you?
Dude! You did a great job at reviewing these headphones...
Super nerdy but not... I mean it as a compliment! All in all, kudos my guy...
Thank you!!
U should make more tech vdo....good presentation!
I saw these two a week ago and I want to earn so fast to afford the 720N on a working student's paygrade.
haha. Been there. can empathise :-)
Thank you for the review.
Which would you say is more comfortable the 520 or the 720?
I am majorly after sound quality and comfort.
Both have their pros and cons for comfort. The 520 is more open allowing your ears to breathe for long use. If you want noise cancelling then the 720N is much better but I couldn't use them for more than 60-90 min at a stretch. the 520, I could wear for much longer.
@@IdiotBox86 Thank you so much for this. Have you heard about the edifier w820nb plus? I was recommended this over the the two sony’s I mentioned.
@@fay9298 I haven’t used the Edifier 820NB. But Edifier is a good brand with some really good products. So worth checking out.
Which is more comfortable with no ear pain between Sony WH CH 510 and WH CH 520 as 510s are more wider than 520s
520 for me.
Hi. Can you tell me what to choose between them? Who has a better sound? Does it make sense to switch to 720 after 520?
So, I think both have very good sound. the noise cancellation makes the 720 sound a bit better. The 720 is definitely more premium when compared to the 520. But both fulfil unique use cases. so, it depends on your use case, which one is right for you.
Thank you I’ve been looking for review like this !
Glad it was helpful! Help spread the word about this channel helps you earn good karma points ;-)
thanks for the review. im going w 520
Hi, great review, and I would appreciate you answering almost every comment/query in the comment section in a way it clears doubts of others as well.
My query is which one is better: ch510 or ch520 - as for my case on ear would be better as i require less of noise cancelation with 2-3 hours of usage (watching a movie on tv)
Go for the 520. You won’t be disappointed. However, I would recommended if you can check them out at an offline store. That’ll help with understanding the comfort of the headphones.
Is the bass is low in this as they have 30mm driver only?
@@krishverma824 nope. Bass is quite good.
i am planing to take CH520 any suggestion plz
good headphones. depends on the use case.
Finally someone making some logical comparison 👋
Thank you! Please help spread the word about the channel :-)
I am a girl who just uses headphone for listening to music on the way to work and during meetings. So, I chose 520 and I pretty much like it. It is very basic but very light weight and comfortable. I am now looking for a headphone for my boyfriend with big head. I wanted to buy him 520 again cuz he is not very picky about noise cancellation . However, because of the size, I might have to choose 720N. I wish they would release 520 in bigger size with over ears.
If you can extend your budget why not consider the Sennheiser Accentum plus or even the Sony ULT?
Nice video man real ur cooking it dude but i wanted to know is there better something comparable to the 520 and in the same budget of 4500 or 5000 coz look I'm a student i want good mic some good bass good vicals good app support(optional but i kinda want it too) good connectivity like if it has aux its cherry on the top my ears r small so it won't matter much with on ear(kaan k just above not fully covering) also 30+ hrs battery type c for sure.... so is there something u can recommend me plz I really need a good steal like in jbl or something or should i go with 520 i have offline stores i can check there but i want recommendations so i can make my buying choices acc to me not by the shopkeeper hope u reply fast ALSO PLEASE MENTION THE BT VERSION PLZZ
Thanks for your support. you can check out the JBL Tune 770NC amzn.to/4bLzeDh. These seem to offer almost everything you are looking for.
In bass quality... Which one is better?
both are good as the driver setup is similar. the 720 are slightly better because of the around the ear, earcup design
Hey can you recommend me a headphone under 6-8k. I used to use tws but my ears hurts after 40-60min.
I used to go to the gym and want a good sound quality.
And please can you also recommend me a tws between 6-8k if my mind changes i will later decide which one i will buy.
I think you should go to an offline store and try the headphones/TWS to find the ones that fit your ears best. You can check out offerings from Sony, OPPO, and more. Since I go running, these are the ones I use amzn.to/47leNes. You can also check these out - amzn.to/3S2WupU
I can't decide between Sony 720N and Edifier 820NB plus(which has LDAC)
we also have soundcore space one (they give a hard carry case)
the Sonys have the 3.5mm jack
at this point....
my decision making is even worse than a woman shopping
All i want is Superior Sound quality in this price range
So, my first question is, have you heard the headphones yourself? Which one do you like better? Also, how important is 3.5mm connectivity to you?
@@IdiotBox86I haven't heard any of the headphones above.
As for 3.5mm jack it's good to have ... Im guessing we can play music if the battery is discharged?
But the most important for me is obviously the Sound quality, the immersive experience, at this price point
@@lavatr8322 The sound quality of both headphones is really good. Your purchase decision can be based on the following. If noise cancellation is important, then go for the 720N. else, the 520 should be good enough for you.
hello, just wanted to know as a student who is sharing a room with two others, without anc does the 520 still stop noises enough (esp people talking) for someone to be able to focus on studying?
Unfortunately no. To absolutely not listen to people in the same room, you will need to invest in ANC.
Which one got better bass?
The 720
Sony wh-ch520 and soundcore by anker Q20i which is better please tell me sir
I personally prefer the Sony, but I suggest you visit an offline store and experience both if possible.
Hello Your video is good. i am just looking for a headset/headphone which i can use for ms-teams , google meet, zoom calls, more than 6 hours a day. mic, audio quality should be good and should be comfortable for ears. can you please recommend a product for that

Thanks! Have you tried something like this? amzn.to/4dY6UiF
@@IdiotBox86 Thanks for your reply. For the past 5-6 years i am using Plantronics BT 600 , It is worn out. need to change. Just looking for comfortable, no pain in ear and clear audio quality since i work from home mostly. Let me try your suggestion. Thank you
Great review!
Im looking forward the best spund quality between this 2, if where in higher quality sound, which one would you prefer?
The 720 as the ANC does help with better audio experience.
I am very confused between the two options. I don't care much about ANC if the on-ear CH520 is more comfortable than the CH720N. I know on-ear headphones can hurt if worn for long hours, based on my experience from about 10 years ago. So, are the CH520 headphones comfortable enough for watching movies, or should I go for the CH720N since they are over-ear? The CH520 price is really good, and I'm hesitant to spend more on a budget headphone like the CH720N because, for that price, I could even get the Samsung Buds2 Pro. However, I want to try headphones rather than earbuds. Man, if only the CH520 were over-ear, it would be perfect. What would you suggest?
Would it be possible for you to visit an offline store and try them out? that will help you make a better decision. I would recommend the 520 for the price. sure, the pressure on the ears is a tad more than id like, especially since I wear glasses, but I think over time they will get loose enough to get comfortable.
@@IdiotBox86 No, it won't be possible for me to go to a store and check it, as that is not an option in my country. However, it's very interesting that you find the CH520 on-ear headphones more comfortable than the CH720N over-ear headphones. Almost everyone online and on Reddit seems to prefer over-ear headphones. It's intriguing that you find the CH520 on-ear headphones more comfortable for long hours of use
@@doctorsora I guess I have too big ears ;-). I find the WH1000-XM5s to be very comfortable because of my big ears. I always preferred on ear cos they let my ears breathe for long use. It does get very hot here in India and breathability is quite important for me.
@@IdiotBox86 Thank you for your feedback 👍
I have long/big/huge ears 👂😂 which one should I go for ? 520 or 720n ?
520 for prolonged use and if noise cancellation is not important to you. However, I recommend you go to a store and experience them before purchasing.
Hi! Quick question. Has anyone tried wearing the Ch520 with glasses and smaller earrings on? I used to have this issue with my old headphones that it pressed my accessories to my ear and it hurt (esp. my earrings). Does anybody know if these are anything like that? Are they tight?
great questions. While I wear glasses, the headphones do press just a little when they are new. but with time, they get more comfortable. If you have piercings around the ear, it should hurt a bit as these are on ear and not around the ear headphones. Possible for you to visit a local offline store and try them out?
@@IdiotBox86 I'm searching for a store where I could try them on right now. I'll post some updates when I can visit one!
(Either way, if they end up uncomfortable I think I'll just go with the 720N instead)
Subscribe you because you are on the point and not making a bit about a bush. Keep on bro good job
Thank you for your support!
About sound quality, which one is better? I'm a music-lover 😁
In my opinion, if it is just about sound, the 720 are better. I found a bit of EQ tuning dramatically opened them up, and removed some of the muddiness.
how do i have more subs than you your content is soo good. Keep it up man! Good luck.

Can u suggest a headphone for workout and gym ?
Budget? would you prefer headphones only or are TWS ok?
great review bro. Actually i have nothing ear 2 and i am looking for headphones under 10k for music and ANC. Are these pair of headphones better than nothing ear 2 in terms of sound quality and ANC? Nothing ear 2 supports LHDC whereas Sony is not even having LDAC. So i need your opinion on this bro
I think the Sony 720 sounds really good. But why don't you visit an offline store and check them out before making your purchase decision?
@@IdiotBox86 ohk bro thanks for the reply
Jbl tune 720 BT or sony WH_CH520
please answer
While fit and comfort is a personal perference, I think you should listen to them offline to know which one you like better for sound quality. The JBL has 3.5mm but the Sony does not. This is one thing to consider.
Hi, Great Review. Thumps up
I am looking for good Sound Quality for day to day usage , i am not an audioprofile. just want to clarify if i should extend my budget and get the XM4 at Around 18K or Opt for 720N, is there a major difference in sound quality apart from much stronger ANC and other features or are they similar/close enough in terms of sound. I would prefer a bit of bass. Please let me know your input so i could make my purchase decision according.TIA
if you are not an audiophile, then you can go for the 720N. they will not disappoint and will save you the money as well.
is it a promotional video or not..need explanation or I am going to file a complaint against you. Need response ASAP
Lol. Nope, not promotional 🙂
@@IdiotBox86 read the new government guideline and use disclaimer budyy
The 520 is such a steal right now for around $38 its an inexpensive compact headphone that you can just have around. Sony did great with this
You have a great knack for making these sort of videos if anyone hasn't told you already.
By the way, can you help me pick between 720, XM4 & XM5 ? Do you think 720 is a XM4/5 lite ? If I go for XM4s, is paying 5-6k extra worth it for XM5s ? Thoughts?
Thank you! appreciate the feedback. Help spread the word about the channel.
As for your question. I would highly recommend you visit an offline store and experience all three for yourself. The XM5s are uber premium and are worth the price. The 720N are for those who are on a budget and want great sound and don't mind compromising on the build a bit when compared to the XM5's. At the end of the day, value for money is different for different people. SO I highly recommend you go and experience the headphones before purchasing.
I just purchased CH720N as my budget is 10k. I'll majorly use it in the gym and listening to music while working. Should I opt for some other pair?
Well, if you have already purchased it, then why go for something else? In my opinion, using the CH720N in a gym is a personal preference. The problem is that your ears can get quite sweaty in noise-cancelling headphones. Add to it the gym, and your ears could get uncomfortable. But since you have purchased it, what has your experience been like?
Bro am from Kerala which one is best headphone for watching movie on tv... Pls tell 🙏under 3500
both are good. Depends on your budget and requirements for noise cancellation. if you want noise cancellation then go for the 720. Otherwise the 520 are fantastic as well.
How about working in teams? Which is good?
If you only want to use it for calls, and no other reason, then you should check out headphones designed for calls as they will have a better mic. else, between these 2, go for the 520. I found them better for long term use.
Which on is better Sony WH-C520 or Q20i ?
Depends on your use case. I haven't used the soundcore q20i but I have heard good things about them. Maybe worth a shot?
Which ones would be better for the gym?
Depends on your preference. If you want noise cancelation, then the 720. if you want to be able to hear your surrounding, then the 520.
Hi Sameer, hope you are doing good.
Can you suggest between xb910n and 720n. XB910 comes with sony case. Did you ever use XB910n. I am confised between xb910 and 720n.
Hey, thanks for your comment. The main difference between the xb910n and 720n is that the xb190n have a more pronounced bass than the 720n. so if you like more bass, go for the 910n. If you like slightly more neutral sound, then go for the 720n.
I am getting 720n around 6000, 910 around 9000 and 1000mx4 at 16000. Which one will be good. Somewhere i read that 910 head controversial design.
@@GaganDua-t6r Depends on your use case, but I would recommend going to an offline store and checking them out for comfort, sound quality and other features before investing.
Thanks for the video it helped me a lot , i wanted your suggestion still my budget is 10k and i am looking for headphone which would have noise cancellation as i wanted it for taking online lectures because my students compliant sometimes about background noise also for my meetings.
You can go with the WH-CH720N. It should work well for you. amzn.to/3NJaxi0
which one is more good sony ch 720n or soundcore q 45 in your opinon
I haven't used the soundcore q 45 but the Sony are very good.
Xb910 ??
Good option. But why not consider the Sony ULT as well for just a few thousand more? I have reviewed it on this channel. you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/E-XxsNkiHnY/видео.html
Which would be better during travel, like airports, metros/train, buses, footpaths, airplanes?
I guess the 520 because its light or the 720 because of the ANC?
I think you have answered your question yourself. But let's break it down into 2 simple points. If ANC is important to you, then go for the 720N. I think they should work better than the 520, especially for airports. But I like to take long walks and be aware of my surroundings. Also, in the summer in north India, it gets quite hot. So for those reasons, the 520 are my choice.
@@IdiotBox86Thanks, You're right, I have almost shortlisted 520 because of the size and it could be more versatile, 720 has one disadvantage it gets hot quickly inside.
I use the oppo m32, but the drivers are not enough for many sounds. I tried the Samsung buds fe, even though music was rich, again drivers are small, it wasn't practical for me and signal strength of the buds are poor over 7 feet. - Thanks
@@ChethanSrinivasGlad i could help :-)
hi mate, thanks for the video. if my priority is to use for work from home and office calls, would that be 520 or 720?
Hi, I personally think the 520 is more comfortable for long durations of use. the call quality is very good too. I personally cannot wear noise canceling headphones for a long stretch of time and if that's the case with you, then I recommend the 520. However, if noise cancelling is a priority, then you should try the 720 if possible before investing.
Thanks for the review. While using the 720n wired to the pc does it have any latency or you can use it to play competitive games like fps/battle royales?
I used it wired with a PS5 and Xbox Series X for single player games and did not notice any lag. However if you are a pro player, I recommend dedicated gaming headphones.
Thank you!!!
Is there a bag available with 720n?
No. But you can get something like this if you like: amzn.to/441KGc0

depends on your use case. However, keep these factors in mind. If you want 3.5mm connectivity and noise cancelling then go for the 720. If you don't want 3.5mm connectivity and want to wear headphones for a long time, then go for the 520.
Is the ch520 long?bc im worry it is too short cant fit
Maybe go to an offline store and try them on?
you deserve more followers! Great review Sir!! Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪
Thanks! Please help spread the word 🙂
is there any big difference in sound compared to wh-ch 510 , because it is below 3k !
The 520 connects to the Sony headphones app on a smartphone while the 510 does not. This means you can control the sound profile of the 520 but are stuck with the default profile on the 510. having said that the sound quality of the 510 is still very good and a great value-for-money option for the price. the 520 is slightly more compact with their dimensions, but nothing that will affect you greatly.

You also mentioned that it was difficult to wear 720 headphones more than 90 minutes in a single go.

Depends on your use case and requirements. What will you use the headphones for most? And also where? How important is it to drown out noise around you completely.
