key features
The highlight is the lightweight design of the Sony WH-CH720N, which Sony says in a media release is the lightest ever over-ear headphone design with active noise cancellation. The headphones weigh 192 grams, while the CH710N predecessor weighs 223 grams.
Despite this, the features remain the same. The Sony WH-CH720N features dual noise sensors and a V1 noise processor for 20 levels of customizable active noise cancellation, which can be adjusted via Sony’s Headphone Connect mobile app. It also enables an active ambient sound mode and automatic adjustment of noise cancellation levels based on the user’s surroundings.
Users will also get Sony’s signature DSEE audio upscaling engine, while the closed 30mm dynamic drivers remain the same as their predecessors. Instead of Bluetooth 5.0, the new CH720N headphones are powered by Bluetooth 5.2 – however, the codecs and audio formats supported by the headphones remain the same. It also has beamforming microphones for clear audio calls.
While audio frequency support remains the same, the Sony WH-CH720N appears to offer a higher impedance of 320 ohms, although it’s unclear why this would be the case.
