Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Wide, comfy pads for long sessions
  • Noise cancelling blocks most mid and high noise well
  • Over 32 hours in their battery run
  • Plenty of features incl. LDAC, multipoint and touch controls
  • Thumping bass that suits hip-hop and games
  • Long battery, charging about twice a week with daily use
  • Light and soft on the head indoors

Cons

  • Bass swamps the rest of the sound by default; ULT 2 mode worse
  • Mics struggle with wind
  • Gets warm, no water resistance
  • No USB-C audio
  • ANC weaker than Sony's flagship in a busy office
  • Calls sound muffled and let noise through
  • Sweaty in hot, humid weather outdoors
  • SoundGuysApr 2024

    Comfortable, feature-rich and with strong ANC and very long battery, but the stock tuning is far too bass-heavy unless you EQ it. Tested global version.

  • 91mobilesJun 2024

    One of the most feature-packed headphones at its Indian price and a fine pick for bass lovers; purists should look at the WH-1000XM5. Indian review.

  • What Hi-Fi?Apr 2024

    Loaded with features and comfortable, but trades Sony's usual balance for blunt bass; the cheaper WH-CH720N sounds better to them.

  • TechRadarMay 2024

    Solid mid-range set with good sound once tuned, many features and sturdy build; patchy calls and an overdone bass mode hold it back.

Reported by many owners

Common complaints

  • Hinge joint between headband and ear cup can crack; Sony acknowledged it and repairs affected units free (serial-number check) until 31 Jan 2027
