The Sony WH-CH720N headphones are five-star What Hi-Fi? Award winners, thanks to their durable design, effective noise canceling and good sound. If you're in the market for a great pair of inexpensive over-ears but don't want to sacrifice quality, these are cans we love to recommend.

The Sony WH-CH720N are What Hi-Fi? Award winners with a five-star review and a spot amongst the best wireless headphones we've ever tested.

Why? Well, because they're not only a great value pair of wireless, over-ear headphones, but they're packing ANC.

And while the ANC performance doesn't quite match up to some of the more expensive headphones, like Sony's more premium WH-1000XM5, they're also a fraction of the price.

Sony's budget-friendly over-ears aren't only competitive on price though – with forceful, robust sound performance and solid build quality to boot, they're easy to recommend.

As already mentioned, the ANC is great considering the price, with two modes – full noise canceling and ambient sound – both controllable via the Sony Headphones mobile app. In testing, our experts said: "We find these affordable Sonys do an effective job of dampening, if not silencing completely, the rumble and swoosh of each passing car as it whizzes its way past on a busy nearby road."

Sure, they're not the most attractive pair of headphones you'll ever see, but if the brief is to deliver a solid, substantially made and reasonably comfortable pair of over-ears, they certainly achieve that goal.

And, for performance-per-pound, they also deliver on sound with punchy, solid, energetic performance and a great sense of drive and rhythmic propulsion.

Ultimately, our expert testers said: "The WH-CH720N have delivered exactly what Sony intended. For a very reasonable price, they're a dependably made, enthusiastic-sounding pair of headphones that, while occasionally straying into the realm of excessive bass, deliver good ANC and a strong feature set to the very affordable end of the wireless headphone market."

A price that's now even more affordable, crashing to just $92 at Amazon, for a limited time.
