Product Information

The Sony WH-CH700N headphones are also not equipped with deep bass, which is fine if you want to listen to something gentle and acoustic, but not so great if you’re intending to pound your brain with the latest dance floor sounds. Playing around with the EQ helps a bit, but we’d be inclined to look elsewhere if you want some genuinely ballsy bottom end.

You can also turn on/off the noise canceling function with the “ Sony | Headphones Connect” app. So, one thing about these headphones. I'm not a huge audiophile, so the sound of these headphones are perfect. However, I've broken two over the last three years, both started broke at the hinge bit, where the headphones rotate. I'm planning on buying another pair, as I love the size, sound and the battery life, but it's something I really don't like about them. We said we’d elaborate on the battery life and it’s worth the wait, as these headphones offer up to 35 hours of listening from a single charge, which is very competitive in today’s market. What’s more, if you run out of juice you can get an hour’s worth of playtime with 10 minutes of charging.

But these WH-CH700Ns stop just short of being exceptional. To earn five stars, they would need a surer sense of timing, and marginal upturns generally across the board. Verdict The built-in microphone allows for hands-free calling, while there is Siri and Google Assistant compatibility for those who wish to talk to their tech. Sony’s Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) is accessible via the Sony Headphones Connect App, alongside various soundfield modes and EQ settings, though in this instance we prefer to turn all of the extra processing off. If you are considering the WH-CH700Ns as a solution for everyday, general use - something for your Spotify playlists on the morning commute - then they’re certainly capable of that. For a more sophisticated performance with these kind of specs, though, your best option seems to be spending a few more pounds.

Their overall character isn’t exceedingly rich, but it isn’t brittle either. Vocal lines don’t possess the body or warmth you might expect further up the chain, and even once free of its harshness the treble doesn’t quite soar. However, the WH-CH700Ns remain an easy listen with just enough weight and detail across the frequency band to offer better than passable sonic insight. As previously mentioned, the Sony WH-CH700N are wireless headphones – which is good news as it means you’ll be able to thrash around to your favourite albums without being throttled by cables. It’s just a shame that they run on the positively ancient Bluetooth 4.1 technology.The headset and smartphone are paired with each other and connected. You will hear a voice guidance “BLUETOOTH connected”. After the headset turns on, if it has automatically connected to the last connected device, you will hear a voice guidance “BLUETOOTH connected”. Pairing is the process required to create a link between Bluetooth devices to allow wireless connection. You must pair a device with the headset to be able to make a Bluetooth connection for the first time. Inside the WH-CH700Ns is a pair of 40mm neodymium drivers, and we’d certainly recommend a decent amount of running in time (you’re running in the amps as well as the drivers). They sound quite hard in the upper register straight from the box, but that calms considerably over time. Make sure that the indicator flashes blue and red alternately after you release the button. You will hear a voice guidance “BLUETOOTH pairing”.

When the headset is initialized, all pairing information is deleted. In this case, delete the pairing information of the headset from the Bluetooth device, and then pair them again.
