Sony WH-CH710N headphones review: Affordable alternative to WH-1000XM3s?
Sony recently
launched its wireless Bluetooth headphones, the WH-CH710N, in India. With
active noise cancellation its key feature, the headphones seem to be an
affordable alternative to company’s premium WH-1000XM3s headphones. The new
headphones from Sony look promising, but how does it fare
in the overall scheme of things? Let's find out.
Design and build
The
headphones weigh around 200 g, which is considered light weight in its segment.
It is a treat for those who desist bulky headphones. Moreover, the headphones’
band has a comfortable fabric wrap with good amount of cushion that does not feel
heavy when resting on head. The earcups have soft cushion, too. However, they
are not the best and you might find them inconvenient in hot weather
conditions. The headphones have matte finish, which looks impressive. However,
the plastic built might not appeal to all.
The headphones feature control buttons on its
earcups for ease of use. On the right earcup, there are buttons for volume,
play/pause, noise cancellation and ambient sound. The play/pause button here
doubles up to wake voice assistants, when used with smartphones. On the
left, there is a power button, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm auxiliary port
for wired connectivity.
