- Bluetooth multipoint can make switching between a laptop and phone more convenient.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing's 50-hour battery-life claim is not accompanied by listening-volume or other operating conditions. The details also call battery charge time “50 hours,” while other listing text describes up to 50 hours of battery life, so treat the 50-hour figure as a runtime claim, not a charge-time specification.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Buyers seeking lightweight Bluetooth headphones for music, podcasts and calls.
- People who switch between two paired devices and want multipoint pairing.
- Listeners who value a long claimed runtime and short USB-C quick-charge claim.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need noise cancellation or stated water resistance.
- Anyone who needs an over-ear fit or wants a wired headphone connection.

Customer feedback highlights sound quality, battery life and lightweight design as positives, while experiences with connectivity, fit and durability are mixed. The favorable comments align with the listing's claimed long runtime and 145 g weight, but the mixed fit and connection feedback matters if comfort or stable device switching is a priority. Aggregate ratings are broadly positive, though they do not establish how the headphones will perform for an individual buyer.

- The lightweight design is also mentioned positively.
Mixed feedback
- Customer feedback describes mixed experiences with connectivity, fit and durability.
Frequently asked questions
Are the Sony WH-CH520 noise-cancelling headphones?
The listing specifies noise control as “None,” so it does not describe noise cancellation.
How long does the WH-CH520 battery last?
The manufacturer information claims up to 50 hours of battery life. The listing does not state the operating conditions for that claim.
Can these headphones connect to two devices?
The listing says multipoint pairing allows connection to two Bluetooth devices at the same time, such as a laptop and a phone.
Do they support wired listening?
The listing identifies Bluetooth as the connection and says there is no headphone jack, so it does not substantiate a wired listening option.
