Sony WH-CH510 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Mic, 35 Hours Battery Life , Quick Charge, On-ear Style, Hands Call, Voice Assistant - Blue

I cant get on with 'in-ear' buds or headphones but wanted something to wear in the gym or use at home when the wife is watching a film on TV. These are cheap and lightweight and really easy to set up, they paired with my iPhone with zero fuss. Comes with a USB charger lead and the charge lasts for an extraordinary length of time and when not being used, they retain that charge for long period too. There are some basic controls on the right ear can, the headband is adjustable, the ear pads are soft and wipeable and the sound quality is ok. I really cannot fault these, they are probably the best value for money budget headphones on the market.

I bought this to replace my Sony MDRIF140K infra-red headphones that I bought about a decade ago; they started to have some electrical problems (not surprising after so long). I was looking for something nice and light (the old ones were 125g); these ones are of a similar weight (132g). The Bluetooth range is very good (I also bought the Bluetooth adapter suggested as a bundle, TP-Link Nano USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter), which is an advantage over the old IR technology. The sound quality is excellent -- great frequency response and noise free. I had tried various wireless headphones and these have the best sound quality by far. They compare favourably with my Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 wired headphones. The on-ear pads block out a lot of ambient noise (possibly even a little too much -- you need to remove them to hear someone speak who is in the room). The rechargeable battery lasts a long time; I usually keep it turned on most of the day, even when not using them, and a full charge lasts a few days. I had to buy a longer charging cable since the included one is very short. But I use this long cable to also charge my new iPad mini, which also uses USB C. My major complaint is that the headphones are a little tight on my head, particularly since I wear glasses. The old Sony IR headphones were a lot more comfortable. I have used these on Zoom calls and they are very good for that, particularly since they are not very big so they do not look too goofy. I have not used the in-built microphone since I always use an external mic. All in all, I will give these headphones 5 stars, though I would actually have given them 4.5 stars if I could, marking them down a bit for being too tight for long-term use. Given the low price (I paid £35), I think they are excellent value.

I bought this pair of headphones following having an earlier pair of Sony wirless headphones that worked perfectly for a long time before dying on me. Therefore, I had high expectations for the newer model of Sony headphones due to my previous positive experience. Unfortunately, whilst decent and reflecting good value for money, this pair of headphones did not fully live up to my expectations. Initially, I had a number of problems with the Bluetooth connectivity. I successfully paired my headphones and would connect them to my phone but then randomly the headphones would disconnect and reconnect. I also found the sound quality on calls to be less good than the previous model. Oddly, when making a call, I find that it sounds almost as if the headphones are constantly on talk through, allowing background noise to be filtered through to the wearer. This can make phone calls annoying especially when in loud places. I sought Amazon technical advice regarding the headphones. I tried some of the suggested fixes and was eventually sent out another pair of headphones. The technical advice offered was helpful and the new product sent out quickly with no qualms. I have found the Bluetooth connectivity issues have been resolved with the new set of headphones. The issue mentioned regarding making calls and background noise still persists slightly. In terms of day to day usage, the battery life on these headphones is very good! I have found the audio quality good when listening to music, podcasts etc. The side buttons which control the volume and turn the headphones on/off work well. I found the over ear fit of the headphones much more comfortable than in ear pairs. I’m also an active person and have often used the headphones running or in the gym with no issues of them slipping off. Overall these are a decent enough pair of headphones representing good value for money.

Great phones. Good spec, comfortable to wear for long periods, superb sound picture. Recommended.

These headphones are a great cheaper option when looking at sony headphones. The sound quality is amazing, although i will admit it lacks slightly with bass, however this is a hardly noticeable issue when put alongside the clear quality of sound these headphones produce. The battery life lasts me all week for my bus journeys to and from work, which is extremely impressive (the journey is 1 hour both ways, so around 10 hours a week). the headphones still work and definitely last longer than this but i prefer to be prepared for each week.

Wanted bluetooth headphones for iPhone and Kindle Fire in garden/bed without trailing wires all over the place. For background music, Netflix, Prime etc, but primarily Amazon Audible. Great sound required (always!!) but not top drawer hi-fi in this instance, and these will do very well. A little hard on top of my (large) crown but not unbearably so. Not sound cancelling, but not needed anyway, and am unconcerned about phone call features, so can't comment on that. They hold a charge well and you get a message powering up which says how much charge is left. They store flat which helps portability. Connected to my phone, Kindle and pc very easily. Sound is a lot better than I expected for the price. Right out of the box it is rich but not plumby, bass is deep enough and tight, not blowy, boomy or synthetic. The voice and midranges are crisp and accurate. So music/voices sounds clear, natural and realistic and this is just what I want given what I am using them for. A little "tight" but this will mellow with use over the next few weeks. Likewise the stereo picture, which is a bit left sided brand new, should balance out as I break them in. When there is no sound, the speakers are absolutely silent. So far so perfect BUT what has SONY done with the charging system?? The lead is standard cheap quality and VERY short (20cm tip to tip). Most annoyingly for me is that whilst it's standard USB at one end the input on the earphone is something I haven't seen for years. WHY?? I use a high speed charger and cables which I use for everything else but which don't fit the earphone input. Yes, it charged from new in a couple of hours (rather than the 4.5 hours suggested) using the charge, but why not the universal terminals everyone else uses??? So DON'T throw away the provided lead as I usually do and above all DON'T lose it!! (I suspect SONY are getting rid of old stock/parts). However, I have bought Sony products of all types many times over the years and they have never disappointed performance wise. I wouldn't pay the original £50 tag (I got them on Amazon recently at £30) and they are not meant to be hi-fi quality headphones. However, I would absolutely recommend them for a very good, comfortable, well balanced and accurate sounding fun listen.

This is a very good headphone and a real value for money at £30. For the price it is definitely best in class. Pros: Balanced sound. Good bass. Volume loudness is pretty good and won’t hurt your ears even at max volume which is sony’s signature. I use at about 60-70% volume indoors and that is sufficient for me. I listen to mostly rock music and its really great. Noise cancellation is decent for the price. Comfort wise it is good. Anyway those using glasses would find a bit of discomfort after using for a long time but that is more or less same for any on/over the ear headphones. Battery life is amazing. I have compared with my synheisser wired over the ear. Sound quality wise both are same (compared at a certain volume). Loudness in the synheisser is bit more but I did find the sony loud enough, to be honest. Synheiaser is also a great brand when it comes to sound but are costlier. You won’t get the same at this price. Cons: Build is very basic but see the price. Voice call is average not bad though but my wired hands free is better.

I don't know why Amazon asks to rate Noise Cancellation features, these are not NC headphones. They are simple and light BT headphones. Pairing is quick and reliable, on startup they announce battery level, so you can charge before they get flat. Power is USB-C connector. The downside to these headphones is the headband. It's rather uncomfortable, without any padding and leaves marks on the head in as little as 30 minutes (if you're bald and don't have padding , like me). As on-ear headphones, they naturally press on the ear, I find it contrast to other headphones like the AKG Y50 (at double the price) rather uncomfortable. Wearing them gets warm, and where they press against the helix (outtermost structure of the concha) it gets really uncomfortable after a couple of hours, especially if you're wearing glasses. I've had them for three months, so can't say how long they will last, I suspect the hard plastic frame will give out from simple mechanical force such as being packed in a suitcase sooner or later. tl;dr: good sound the price, but comfort some comfort issues.
