This was as part of a Sony promotion and I took them even though I wasn't sure I needed them. I am very glad I did as they work very well, are lightweight and allow me to roam all over the house and remain connected to the my laptop something you can't do with a cable. The sound quality is pretty good, almost as good as my Bose headsets, and built in mic means I can move around while on a conference call.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As with all Sony products, these headphones are no exception where it comes presentation. The box they arrived in was elegant and understated. The functions were displayed on the outer sleeve and consist of the following:

A maximum playback time of 55 hours

3 minutes of charging will provide up to 1.5 hours of playback.

Hands free telephone calls

Multi-point connections

Max volume control

Equaliser

The earpieces rotate to fold flat for easy storage. They don't come with a case, so that's a consideration if they are to be used on journeys. In use, the earpieces are worn on the ear, rather than covering the ear and I wondered if heating might be a problem. However, I used them for over an hour in a warm room and they were fine. They are also very light, so the session wasn't at all tiring. The earpieces are also labelled L and R to avoid any confusion.

The three controls are on the right earpiece and are distinguished for touch by a small nub for increasing the volume, a small prominence that controls on/off, Bluetooth connections, receive/refuse/terminate calls. The third control is distinguished by having no touch features. Each control works as expected with no latency. All other settings are controlled through the Sony Sound Connect app.

Recharging the earphones is through a USB-C port. No cable is provided, but the earphones arrive fully charged. There is no socket for connecting a device to the earphones if the battery is depleted. With a claimed battery life of 55 hours, this should not really be a problem, especially as the remaining battery percentage is announced when the earphones are switched on and is also available through the app.

Connection is via Bluetooth 6.0 and is very quick and reliable. The built in microphone provides good clarity to listeners, and reception is equally good during phone calls. It is possible to connect two devices at once, but one connection gives way to the other when switched over. This means that, for example, you are listening to music when you get a call. The earphones will automatically switch to the phone call, and when the call ends the music will resume.

As they are weigh very little, I was concerned about the sound quality. I mainly listen to orchestral music and was a professional player, so I'm quite judgemental. I was pleasantly surprised, but not overly so. For what they are, these earphones produce quality sounds, with a good range from bass to treble. I wore them on a walk next to a busy road and the traffic noise was not too intrusive. The earphones performed far better than earbuds. When selecting earphones for taking calls, listening to pop or hip-hop music, I would deem them to be a very good choice and have recommended them to someone that will use them like that. However, they do not provide the profound depth of sound for 'classical' music. I tried all the options available through the equaliser and found the 'Clear' option suited my taste. The biggest negative for me, though, is the lack of active noise cancellation. The earphones provide some protection from external noise, but that's it.

To sum up, I would describe the earphones as being well designed, constructed and of good quality, with commensurate sound reproduction.

I own a number of Sony products: TVs. cameras, DVD Surround Sound players, etc and frequently replace them with the latest versions if I deem the upgrades worth it.

I live in South Oxfordshire, UK.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sony WH-CH530 is truly a very good set of Headphones. I have other Sony Headphones that are connected by wires to plug in for power, this set are so much easier to use as you can walk around home all over, without having to plug then unplug, then plug back in to start again! The WH-CH530 set were easy to utilise, and I used many different songs, piano and other musical instruments sounds to test the quality of the musical sounds. Which I found to be clear, and easy to use. The clear speech sound was also great, clear and not obscured. I also allowed two of my brother in laws to try this set of Wireless WH-CH530 Stereo Headphones, as they were asking me to allow them to try these headphones in comparison with their own, and both were astounded to the quality in these, together with the ease of using and the ability to have hands free phones available with this headphone. Thank you Sony for a great bit of kit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these headphones for just over a week at this point and I’ve tried them in a variety of a different settings and overall, I’m very pleased with them. The first thing that I noticed about them was the very lightweight. They are much lighter than any wireless headphones I’ve used before, meaning that they’re very useful for carrying around outside. Also, because they are light they sit very lightly upon your head which is definitely a bonus I found them very comfortable. They fit well over the ear. There’s padding on your ears and on the top of your head. Set up was quite easy. I downloaded the sound connect app and was ready to go within minutes, I particularly like the way you can connect to 2 devices at the same time so going between my phone and my tablet is a breeze. I changed a few settings getting the right sound profile for myself and I’ve been very happy since. I found the sound very rich, with a decent amount of bass, it sounds crisp and clear listening to Audiobooks as well. I found the battery life to be particularly impressive at 55 hours. I barely had to charge since having them and I think that could be very useful for travelling and being on the go. The buttons on the right headphone are very intuitive and didn’t take much getting used to it all. My only small critique is that there is some small sound leakage if you listen full volume for people around you so it’s worth bearing in mind when you are in public. Overall, I think they’re a very good pair of headphones, particularly for the RRP and will be using them very regularly at home and when sitting on the train, etc. I would definitely recommend them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent low priced wireless headphones.

Padded headband and padded earpieces make them really comfortable to wear even for long periods. The padded earpieces enhance the quality of surround sound, cutting out interferences from nearby noise.With three switches on the right earpiece, pairing, volume control, pause,skip track, and on/off give easy control. Up to 55 hour battery life cuts down on frequent charging. Overall these are really good value headphones, I wear them virtually all day, walking dog, doing household chores and just relaxing listening to music.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well, once again Sony have come up trumps. The wife’s headphones broke the other week so the email I received from SONY about testing these couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Having already owned a similar pair setting them up was a breeze, and the missus absolutely loves em. So whilst she’s enjoying her favourite tunes I can watch the sport in peace. Gave em a little go myself and considering they’re not that expensive the quality is really good. Crystal clear sound which is customisable when you the download the app. As a budget option these headphones tick all the boxes as well as the one about keeping the missus happy. Cheers.

I've had this phone for 2 weeks now and I'm delighted with my purchase. As with all Sony products it's well made with great battery life. I has upgraded speakers and an easy to use 50mp camera.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Sony WH-Ch530 headphones are really good. They look more expensive than the price Sony are charging, the sound they reproduce is outstanding, I was quite shocked by both the treble and bass, left and right separation are truly stunning, the Bluetooth connectivity is stable, battery life is very good, the custom equaliser setting sound great, from new I think the headband is quite stiff but I hope it loosens quickly, that said these headphones are very light and easily forgotten when in use, there’s no USB C cable included but these are readily available and a lot of devices use this cable so there shouldn’t be a problem

Easy connection to devices. Comfortable to wear, great sound. I have a Sony wired headset from around 1980 that still sounds great after all these years, so I can vouch for the quality of Sony headphones.

Came with the new phone, sound quality is top notch but to be expected with Sony

Although I have only had the phone a week, it's great so far. Brought it over other makes and models for sound and music and headphone jack. Brilliant sound and a good player.
