Sony WH-CH520/B Wireless On-Ear Headphones with Microphone

The Sony WH-CH520/B wireless on-ear headphones are made for everyday listening, calls, and switching between devices. This black model combines up to 50 hours of music playback, Sony's DSEE sound enhancement, adjustable EQ through the Sony | Sound Connect app, and Bluetooth multipoint connectivity. A built-in microphone supports hands-free calls.

Adjust the Sound to Your Taste

Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) helps improve the sound of compressed music. You can also adjust the equalizer in the Sony | Sound Connect app to suit the music you listen to, from podcasts and vocals to bass-heavy playlists.

Up to 50 Hours of Battery Life

Get up to 50 hours of music playback on a full charge. If you're short on time, a 3-minute USB-C quick charge provides up to 90 minutes of playback. Actual battery life depends on usage and settings.

Connect to Two Bluetooth Devices

Multipoint connectivity lets the WH-CH520 connect to two compatible Bluetooth devices at once. For example, you can listen to music on a laptop and take an incoming call on your phone without manually pairing the headphones again. Google Fast Pair and Windows Swift Pair can also simplify setup on compatible devices.

Clear Hands-Free Calls, Without Active Noise Cancellation

The built-in microphone uses noise-suppression processing to help make your voice clearer during calls and online meetings. This is different from active noise cancellation (ANC). The WH-CH520 does not include ANC or an Ambient Sound mode for listening.

Lightweight Comfort and Easy Controls

Soft ear cushions, an adjustable headband, and a lightweight on-ear design suit daily listening at home, at work, or while traveling. Physical buttons on the headphones let you adjust volume, control playback, and manage calls.
