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.
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.
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. Have gotten used to earphones over the years so want to consider comfort and good sound quality while traveling/walking to listen to music, podcasts and possibly movies- should I prefer the 520 to the 720? Also, is the 3.5mm jack used for any purpose apart from gaming? Thanks again
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
I use 520 for long hours study and I like keeps my ears fresh but I also use it on the bus and at school and the sound leakage is a problem for me I will have 720 soon which one do you think I should use (sorry for bad english)
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.
@@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✨️
this is one of the best reviews i have ever seen! thank you for all the detail. i’m debating between the 520 and 720n because 520 is less than half the cost but 720n does have noise cancellation and is over the ear. my daily use would be for calls, while studying, commuting, in the office, and maybe the gym. i’m not too much of an audiophile and would mostly use them for podcasts, videos, movies, etc. and i don’t need amazing noise cancellation but it does help me focus. i have airpod pro earbuds, which i love, but they’re not the best for calls and i wanted some headphones. what would you recommend for my use?
Thanks for your comment. I would boil it down to how important noise cancelation is for you. If you absolutely must have it, then the 720 it is. If you don’t mind hearing things around you then go for the 520.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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 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 🙏
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.
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.
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
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
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 video! Can you suggest me my first ANC headphone? Just to give you a little background, I used Sennheiser HD439 earlier and really loved its balanced signature sound. Although at times I missed the punchier bass of HD439, I am not a bass head at all. Currently using the JBL Infinity Glide 510 (got it as a gift) only because it's wireless and lightweight. I also use it for my daily meets and calls. I am looking forward to upgrading my listening experience to something more crisp and with a decent ANC experience that can atleast efficiently block ambient noises like fan, ac, roads. dogs etc. I do listen to all kinds of genres except metal. I have shortlisted Soundcore Anker Life Q30 and Sony WH-CH720N headphones that fits under my budget. I can push my budget to 15K if needed. Which one would you recommend and why? Feel free to suggest any better alternatives as well.
If these are your first ANC headphones I have a question, have you used AND headphones in the past? because it may take some getting used to. At a budget of 15K there are some great options. By extending your budget to 18K you can get the Sony WH-1000XM4 - the previous flagship. amzn.to/3Qe8dSb. The 1000XM5's are uber awesome. you can check out my video for the same. However, if your budget is hard-capped at 15K, then go for the Sony WH-CH720N. They are absolutely brilliant! You can use the link in the description to purchase and in turn support this channel 🙂
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.
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
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?
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 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?
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
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.
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.
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.
Glad i could be of help. Do help spread the word about this channel 🙂

Thanks!
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!

@@neerajsharma4394 Comfort is subjective. 520's give you more breathing room for the ears. Sennheisers more snug fit.
I use 520 for long hours study and I like keeps my ears fresh but I also use it on the bus and at school and the sound leakage is a problem for me I will have 720 soon which one do you think I should use (sorry for bad english)
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.
This video helped me so much! I just had a small query. Im looking for something i can keep longer on my ears. Is the 520 good for that?
Yes. I think the 520 can be used for a longer duration, especially if you are uncomfortable wearing noise cancelling headphones for long durations.
@@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✨️
@@Minnie123010 Hope you enjoy them!
this is one of the best reviews i have ever seen! thank you for all the detail.
i’m debating between the 520 and 720n because 520 is less than half the cost but 720n does have noise cancellation and is over the ear.
my daily use would be for calls, while studying, commuting, in the office, and maybe the gym. i’m not too much of an audiophile and would mostly use them for podcasts, videos, movies, etc. and i don’t need amazing noise cancellation but it does help me focus.
i have airpod pro earbuds, which i love, but they’re not the best for calls and i wanted some headphones. what would you recommend for my use?
Thanks for your comment. I would boil it down to how important noise cancelation is for you. If you absolutely must have it, then the 720 it is. If you don’t mind hearing things around you then go for the 520.
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.
Great review kept me hooked.
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.
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.
@@GaganDua-t6r go for the 720N. I think they will work very well for your use case.
@@IdiotBox86 thanks Sameer.

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.
Great review!!! Thanks...just the right video at the right time...
Glad you liked it!
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.
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.
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?
Great review... Keep up the good work
Thanks!

Can u suggest a headphone for workout and gym ?

sir, airpods3 or 720, which sound quality is better, thx for responsing!
are you getting air pods 3 for the price of the 720?
Very good and fair comments
Thanks!
Is 720 comfortable to wear with glasses? I would like them because of the noise cancellation because I'm sensitive to it
Yes!

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.
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
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.
This is such a nice no bullshit review
Thank you! Help spread the word about the channel :-)
Great review! Thank you!
Glad you liked it. Please help spread the word about the channel!
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 👍
my USP is how lightweight the headphones are, which one is lighter among these 2? also which was the lightest wireless hp u ever used?
cheers
Hey, the WH-CH520 is definitely lighter and is also one of the lightest headphones I have used.
@@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 🙏
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?
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.
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.
@@vatsalgaur1999 go for the 720 when they are on sale. I think they are overall better value for money.
@@IdiotBox86 hey thanks man. Keep good work up.
@@vatsalgaur1999 Thanks! Please help spread the word about the channel :-)
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.
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

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.
thanks for the review
Most welcome. Glad you liked it.
Great video! Can you suggest me my first ANC headphone? Just to give you a little background, I used Sennheiser HD439 earlier and really loved its balanced signature sound. Although at times I missed the punchier bass of HD439, I am not a bass head at all. Currently using the JBL Infinity Glide 510 (got it as a gift) only because it's wireless and lightweight. I also use it for my daily meets and calls. I am looking forward to upgrading my listening experience to something more crisp and with a decent ANC experience that can atleast efficiently block ambient noises like fan, ac, roads. dogs etc. I do listen to all kinds of genres except metal. I have shortlisted Soundcore Anker Life Q30 and Sony WH-CH720N headphones that fits under my budget. I can push my budget to 15K if needed. Which one would you recommend and why? Feel free to suggest any better alternatives as well.
If these are your first ANC headphones I have a question, have you used AND headphones in the past? because it may take some getting used to. At a budget of 15K there are some great options. By extending your budget to 18K you can get the Sony WH-1000XM4 - the previous flagship. amzn.to/3Qe8dSb. The 1000XM5's are uber awesome. you can check out my video for the same. However, if your budget is hard-capped at 15K, then go for the Sony WH-CH720N. They are absolutely brilliant! You can use the link in the description to purchase and in turn support this channel 🙂

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
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
Could you review the soundcore space one and compare it to the 720?
I shall do my best.
@@IdiotBox86 everyone wants to know the pros and cons of each cause they're in the same price range and have mixed reviews on online platforms
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, 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.
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.
Great review. What do you recommend between CH720N vs XB910N?
The Sony WH-XB910N are a better option.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Superb review 🎉
Thanks!
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?
The pressure from the 520 is only a little. it will get a little lose over time, so that's there. But overall, very good and comfortable for long use.
i am planing to take CH520 any suggestion plz
good headphones. depends on the use case.
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 :-)
Is the bass is low in this as they have 30mm driver only?
@@krishverma824 nope. Bass is quite good.
Are 520s good for metal rock music ?
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.
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?
I wana buy sony headphone please suggest 720 or 520 please suggest
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 it good for gym?
The sweat can affect the ear cushion after some use.
How are these for the gym?
Quite good. But wouldn’t a pair of TWS work better for the gym?
Which is good for the gym i dont care abt anc. Does wch520 fall down during a workout as it is on ear type headphone.
With rigorous movement, yes. It will fall. But if your head is relatively stable then it will not fall.
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.
@@IdiotBox86 ok thanks
Is there a bag available with 720n?
