Verdict

The Sony WH-CH710N is a lightweight (223g) over-ear wireless headset featuring 30mm dome drivers and Automatic Artificial Intelligence Noise Cancelling (AINC) with Dual Noise Sensor technology. It offers an impressive battery life of up to 35 hours on a single charge, supported by a quick-charge feature that provides 60 minutes of playback from a 10-minute USB-C charge. Key characteristics include Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC one-touch connectivity, a swivel-flat design for travel, and an adjustable metal slider for comfort. Main pros include its exceptionally long-lasting battery, high comfort for long listening sessions, and stable wireless performance with AAC and SBC codec support. However, notable cons include the lack of a companion app for EQ customization, a plastic build that can feel fragile, the absence of multipoint pairing, and noise cancellation that is less effective against high-frequency sounds compared to premium models.
