For those who might have missed it before, here’s a deal worth revisiting—Sony’s new-for-2023 budget-friendly CH-520 on-ear headphones are once again available for an enticing $38 in all color options. This marks a substantial 37% discount from their $60 list price, matching the lowest recorded price for the CH-520 to date.
Although these headphones may not boast the features of their higher-tier counterparts, like the CH-720N noise-canceling model, they deliver surprising quality given their affordable price. While the design may seem modest and lacks noise-canceling technology, the CH-520 shines in areas such as sound quality, comfort, and impressive battery life—rated for up to 50 hours at moderate volume levels.
The wireless, Bluetooth-only CH-520 headphones offer multipoint Bluetooth pairing, allowing simultaneous connection to two devices, making it convenient for seamless audio switching between, say, a smartphone and a computer. Despite the absence of a wired option, these headphones provide a well-balanced sound with decent clarity and a punchy bass, surpassing expectations for their category.
Available in white, blue, and black (without a protective carrying pouch), the CH-520s also integrate with Sony’s Headphones Connect app for iOS and Android. This app facilitates firmware upgrades, allows sound customization through an equalizer, and enables the activation of multipoint Bluetooth pairing. Don’t miss the chance to elevate your audio experience without breaking the bank.
