I've just bought these headphones and holy fuck do they sound MUCH better than I expected.
Exact same reaction from me! Especially since they are a fraction of the price of the more popular XM4/5s
I am a person who works from home and i see that the CH720N are perfect for me i would only use them at home because when i go out i always take the Linkbuds S with me, they are more discreet and for the price i think they are good since the price of the XM4 is very high. Awesome video bro!
Thanks man! Definitely agree with you, I also am a fan of using over the ear at home and then using my AirPods for on the go since they are more portable and easier to carry around as well.
Solid review. Have been using the CH720N since 12/24/23 and they are excellent for the lightweight, sound quality, and ANC. Found a hard case on Amazon for $7.99 so the non-folding is not a deal breaker. Build quality is more plastic so I am a bit gentler when using; overall, definitely not bad as I found them in a TJ Maxx for $79.99. Thx for sharing!
That's a steal for that price! Definitely a great budget headphone set and better than others at that price point for me. You get a similar sound profile to the XM4's & XM5's for a third of the price
Not a single shot of actually wearing the headphones to compare the look!
Yes right what are reviewer 😅
I got it for $99, pretty good deal for the quality of this product ! I think the ANC is not as strong as I wanted, but honestly it is perfect for the price
Wow! At that price, this is a steal. The sound is good and like you said the ANC is not super strong, but if you're also playing music it "boosts" it in way if that makes sense
I got it for RM499 which is $106 two days ago
Mine was rm358 😊@@naylisyazwina6836
Oh my god... thank you so much, I'm so sick of hearing reviewers worshipping touch controls. I used the XM4 for a year and HATED that I was always accidentally grazing the cup and skipping tracks or pausing. Now that I've switched I can't even loan my XM4s to friends/family. How the heck you supposed to explain to your grandma that she needs to stroke and tickle the headphones to make them work?
Right! It's such an unnecessary feature addition, that really makes it worse. I have the XM5's now and have touch controls off
I bought a 720N yesterday for just €40 second hand brand new and never used from someone. And i must say i'm more then happy with it. Its a huge upgrade compared with my previous Sony headphones a WH-CH510. Wich i have used for 3 years as my daily headphones also at the gym. What i like the most about my new 720N is, it's an complete over ear headphones, so it's more comfortable when wearing it. I can adjust the sound with the Sony Headphones app and even create personal EQ's. And of course the sound is so much better. Another reason is the more expensive 1000XM4 and 5 are also not weather sealed for use in the rain. Then why spending so much more money if the 720N has all i need?
That's true! I will always recommend getting the more budget friendly device if it still works the same and has 95% the quality of the more expensive one
@@nerdgrafx i can only agree with that. Good mindset!
Are the ears hot in 720 compared to 510?
@@СветланаКалинина-х5к no, not at all. Unless you use them during a heavy work out. But the 720N ear cups cover your entire ears compared to the 510. With the 510 the ear cups lay upon your ears...
How is the sound quality of ch720n as compared to xm4?
Planning to buy ch720n but confused about their sound quality
They sound really good, they don't have the best frequency responce, BUT their tuning is SUPER fun. Like, if you're not an audiophile, you WILL be satisfied with these Sony headphones. I was honestly shocked at how good much more I enjoyed listening to music with these in comparison to my Audio Technica M50X. Go listen to them in store if it's possible.
They sound great! I think they sound similar to the XM4, but lack a little in the bass compared to them and the ANC. If you can get these around
@@nerdgrafx Hello mate, do xb910 or ult wear have a better sound quality than ch720n and closer to xm4??? If I neutralize the bass in the app? as I have a bit of budget to spare if I get an almost xm4 level quality with sound anc etc and are they worth paying about 50$ extra if I dont necessarily want the bass but having an option of it would be nice, but I mainly get upgrade of ldac support??
Getting 720N soon, I wan't something affordable that when I accidentally break it, I can confidently buy another one. Compared to getting the flagships and if I break them I am F'ed haha
Hahaha I definitely get that! I have some headphones dedicated to working out since technically no headphones is "water-proof" or "sweat-proof" and I don't want to ruin my XM5's on a workout
Your channel is underrated. Only 1k subs for such a good content is imsane
I appreciate that!
@@nerdgrafx I agree you deserve like 100k+
@@FSAschool Thank you my friend!
Another awesome video man! Keep them coming!!!
Thank you for your support man!
i have heard the new sony CH720 has a 30 mm driver size compared to the sony WH XM4 has a 40 mm driver ....so that is also a con in my opinion.... on .the contrary wh xm4 has a neat fold option with carry case.....nice comparison 👍
The Xm5's has 30mm drivers and sound great.
Thank you, yea I think the portability factor for the XM4's is still one of it's main selling point, even with the XM5's no longer being foldable now
Hi l usually work at home and it’s quite humid ususally around 31 degree celsius. Would u recommend the whch720 n in this case?l can afford both
The 720Ns are more lightweight than the XM4's and that makes them less hot. But if it's super humid, I would look towards in ear headphones instead. Both of these along with most over the ear headphones will be a bit more humid overall than in ear headphones.
How do these compare to the SennheiserHD 350BT? Can’t decide between the two.
I have not tried the 350BT, but it looks like they do not come with ANC if that is something you are looking for. The Sony's also sound similar to the XM4's if those are headphones you have looked at before
I was wondering, for the CH720N, do they sound leak if I have the audio generally high? I am worried that it might when I am in a quite area.
yea they leak a bit when at max volume, but if u keep it at 60-70% volume, it should be fine
Is the weight difference very noticeable when doing workouts with the 720N compared to the XM4? I have the XM4 and I use them for running and walking, but I'm not sure if it's worth buying the 720N. Cheers mate
Yeah I think the weight difference was definitely noticeable. When using the XM4s to workout, I always overheat, but with the 720’s I didn’t really experience that issue
What is the difference in sound quality, is the XM4 much better in sound quality or is it hardly noticeable...here in Holland the CH720 is 96 euro and the XM4 is 245..a big difference in price
The difference in sound isn't all that different, I would say the CH720's give you 90% of the sound quality of the XM4s. For something with that large cost difference, I would go with the CH720s.
@nerdgrafx also ch720n support the sony app so like the xm4/xm5 you need to eq the headsets
Just incase stock eq's bass is too muddy for your liking
great video, but i was rly looking for the part where you compare the ANC quality of both headphones. Did I just miss it or are they just the same quality ?
The quality will be better on the XM4's, but it is comparable to other headphones in the 100-150 USD price range
Please tell me about its sound quality, bass quality and also the anc quality of this headphone..i got it at 71 dollars..is it worth it?
100% worth it! They are a steal at $71. Hope you enjoy them
Hi are the 720N’s a smaller fit than the XM4’s? The XM4’s were too big for my head even in the smallest setting i.e not extended so I had to return them. Thanks
Sorry for the late reply, but from what I remember they were roughly the same. The earcups on the 720N are smaller, but the headband was the same size. Hope that helps!
bro i need an opinion, I'm getting xm4 for 130$( open box not used) but warranty is only left for 6 months new one costs 260$. i checked them and they look unused and they sounded so good also offered a perfect fit for my head and ears. I'm just skeptical between 720N that I'm getting for 74 dollars ( new )......is paying 60 dollars more for xm4 ( open box /second hand) is it worth it?
Hey man, I definitely think you will get 60 dollars worth of the XM4s. The noise cancellation is better than the 720N and they sound just a little bit better.
If these are your one pair you’ll use for a while with no risk of gym use or anything, go for the XM4s. 130 is a great price
There's a deal going on and I can get them for 88$, are they worth it for that price?
Definitely! They are good headphones and for that price, I think you get really good ANC and sound
How long should I charge these for a full charge?
How do they compare to the XM4 on noise cancelling?
They are pretty comparable! They both work well at blocking out humming noises, but the XM4s are a little better with blocking out speech
Night and day.
do the 720n support spatial audio for apple music?
I have not seen them support the Apple spatial audio
Coming from someone who owns both of them. I choose the 720 any day anytime! Dont waste your money like me
Nice! Thank you for your comment, I also think the value of the 720N is great!
How is the sound quality of the ch720n as compared to xm4...is there a major difference or what?
thanks for the review
Thank you for your support!
Bought is for just 73 $ and its awesome
That's such a steal, enjoy your new headphones!
Hello! Is 720 good for smart tv/movie?
Hey! Yes, I think these will work great for content watching as well
CH-720N or XB-910N? 50 grams different on weight does it made any different. what do you reckon?
I think this comes down to whether you like bass heavy headphones. From my experience, Sony lacks in clear bass and usually gets distorted on their CH and XM series. Haven't tried the XB series, but from some reviews I have seen, they should be way better with the bass
@@nerdgrafx alright thank you. might go with the XB.
Why not compare to stuff of the same price?
Awesome vid! You should get more subs
Thank you! I appreciate your support
i agree
Thanks for the great review. I´ve heard that the Sony WH CH720 N head piece is made of a fragile plastic, specially on the pieces that join the drivers with the headset so it can easily break down. On the other hand, what about the ear pads material quality? For those who have been wearing them for over a year, please let me know your experience.
I haven't been using the headphones for over a year, but as for the build quality, they are pretty solid. Anything at this price point will be made of plastic which naturally feels cheaper and fragile, but as long as you're not bashing them and throwing them in and out of a bag, you'll be fine
@@nerdgrafx thank for this great comment
i was curious as well about the workout and gym thing...i get nervous even if light sweating around the leather after wearing long time just doing nothing.....
Yeah they are not sweat proof and I would even say that most over the ear are not, but I haven’t had trouble with sweating, definitely could vary though
can you compare it with Jjbl 720bt
How would these do in the gym ? Are they sturdy
Sturdy and light. I ran a half marathon in them. This Sunday I might see if I can go a full 26.2 for the San Francisco Marathon. I have to get away from ear buds. They were always falling out and replacing them is too much money 🤑
@@Taylormademan900 Good luck dude! I bought them and im having a blast with them right now.
Glad you're enjoying them! They're great for gym use and lightweight as Taylormade said
I have been waffling on these verses a pair that is half the price because the build quality is so poor. I can't believe that even at this price point -on sale they were still $150 Canadian -there's no padding inside the ear cup. It's basically the thinnest piece of foam that's between your ear and the hardware. And if you're someone who doesn't have very indented ears - it's going to be pressing up against the folds of your ear in an uncomfortable way. Also I find the external buttons very challenging because there's not a lot of tactile difference between them and it's easy to press the pause instead of the volume down button constantly
Oh yeah, around that price I'm sure you can find other ones possibly with some better features. In the US, these go on sale at times for
great video bro
Appreciate it man! Thanks for watching
Just found this on back market for $37 instantly bought them, now I'm watching reviews
Nice find! Thanks for sharing.
Nice! That's such a great price for these, enjoy your new headphones!
I need that Headphone stand.. can someone share the link
Great designed stand, it's the UPPERCASE Designs Zero stand: amzn.to/3PEROF9
@@nerdgrafx Thanks a lot!
great video!
Thank you!
The only thing stopping me from buying these right away is how cheap they look!
I can see that, they don't feel premium, but I would say even now with the XM5's they don't feel that premium either. It's a trade off for lightweight and comfortable headphones
What case would you recommend for the, since they don’t come with one?
The XANAD case is pretty good it's the one I have
I would say just like @fable2830 mentioned, the XANAD case looks like a good option on Amazon. There is also a Yinke brand that has a little more protection for a couple dollars more. I have added both to the description of the video. Hope that helps!
Xanad and Yinke both good…I found that the co2crea is really good too
Been using the 720 for 4 month now… must say I’m disappointed. It keeps disconnecting every hour 😢 very irritating when I’m in meetings
Oh wow, if it continues doing that, I would suggest possibly reaching out to Sony. They should not be disconnecting all the time, they might be defective.
@@nerdgrafx unfortunately many, many, many other people have this exact same issue :(
What’s the best EQ setting for the 720n?
Hey there! It's all preference based, and I mainly use the bass boost EQ on my Sony headphones.
لقد اشتريت 720n انها جيده جدا
That's great! Enjoy your headphones
@@nerdgrafxdo they sound leak?
