Sony WH-CH510 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Mic, 35 Hours Battery Life , Quick Charge, On-ear Style, Hands Call, Voice Assistant - Blue

I bought this to replace my Sony MDRIF140K infra-red headphones that I bought about a decade ago; they started to have some electrical problems (not surprising after so long). I was looking for something nice and light (the old ones were 125g); these ones are of a similar weight (132g). The Bluetooth range is very good (I also bought the Bluetooth adapter suggested as a bundle, TP-Link Nano USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter), which is an advantage over the old IR technology. The sound quality is excellent -- great frequency response and noise free. I had tried various wireless headphones and these have the best sound quality by far. They compare favourably with my Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 wired headphones. The on-ear pads block out a lot of ambient noise (possibly even a little too much -- you need to remove them to hear someone speak who is in the room). The rechargeable battery lasts a long time; I usually keep it turned on most of the day, even when not using them, and a full charge lasts a few days. I had to buy a longer charging cable since the included one is very short. But I use this long cable to also charge my new iPad mini, which also uses USB C. My major complaint is that the headphones are a little tight on my head, particularly since I wear glasses. The old Sony IR headphones were a lot more comfortable. I have used these on Zoom calls and they are very good for that, particularly since they are not very big so they do not look too goofy. I have not used the in-built microphone since I always use an external mic. All in all, I will give these headphones 5 stars, though I would actually have given them 4.5 stars if I could, marking them down a bit for being too tight for long-term use. Given the low price (I paid £35), I think they are excellent value.

Wanted bluetooth headphones for iPhone and Kindle Fire in garden/bed without trailing wires all over the place. For background music, Netflix, Prime etc, but primarily Amazon Audible. Great sound required (always!!) but not top drawer hi-fi in this instance, and these will do very well. A little hard on top of my (large) crown but not unbearably so. Not sound cancelling, but not needed anyway, and am unconcerned about phone call features, so can't comment on that. They hold a charge well and you get a message powering up which says how much charge is left. They store flat which helps portability. Connected to my phone, Kindle and pc very easily. Sound is a lot better than I expected for the price. Right out of the box it is rich but not plumby, bass is deep enough and tight, not blowy, boomy or synthetic. The voice and midranges are crisp and accurate. So music/voices sounds clear, natural and realistic and this is just what I want given what I am using them for. A little "tight" but this will mellow with use over the next few weeks. Likewise the stereo picture, which is a bit left sided brand new, should balance out as I break them in. When there is no sound, the speakers are absolutely silent. So far so perfect BUT what has SONY done with the charging system?? The lead is standard cheap quality and VERY short (20cm tip to tip). Most annoyingly for me is that whilst it's standard USB at one end the input on the earphone is something I haven't seen for years. WHY?? I use a high speed charger and cables which I use for everything else but which don't fit the earphone input. Yes, it charged from new in a couple of hours (rather than the 4.5 hours suggested) using the charge, but why not the universal terminals everyone else uses??? So DON'T throw away the provided lead as I usually do and above all DON'T lose it!! (I suspect SONY are getting rid of old stock/parts). However, I have bought Sony products of all types many times over the years and they have never disappointed performance wise. I wouldn't pay the original £50 tag (I got them on Amazon recently at £30) and they are not meant to be hi-fi quality headphones. However, I would absolutely recommend them for a very good, comfortable, well balanced and accurate sounding fun listen.

I bought this pair of headphones following having an earlier pair of Sony wirless headphones that worked perfectly for a long time before dying on me. Therefore, I had high expectations for the newer model of Sony headphones due to my previous positive experience. Unfortunately, whilst decent and reflecting good value for money, this pair of headphones did not fully live up to my expectations. Initially, I had a number of problems with the Bluetooth connectivity. I successfully paired my headphones and would connect them to my phone but then randomly the headphones would disconnect and reconnect. I also found the sound quality on calls to be less good than the previous model. Oddly, when making a call, I find that it sounds almost as if the headphones are constantly on talk through, allowing background noise to be filtered through to the wearer. This can make phone calls annoying especially when in loud places. I sought Amazon technical advice regarding the headphones. I tried some of the suggested fixes and was eventually sent out another pair of headphones. The technical advice offered was helpful and the new product sent out quickly with no qualms. I have found the Bluetooth connectivity issues have been resolved with the new set of headphones. The issue mentioned regarding making calls and background noise still persists slightly. In terms of day to day usage, the battery life on these headphones is very good! I have found the audio quality good when listening to music, podcasts etc. The side buttons which control the volume and turn the headphones on/off work well. I found the over ear fit of the headphones much more comfortable than in ear pairs. I’m also an active person and have often used the headphones running or in the gym with no issues of them slipping off. Overall these are a decent enough pair of headphones representing good value for money.

Good product and a good battery charge

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars) I recently purchased the Sony WH-CH510 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my decision! These headphones have completely revolutionized my music and audio experience, providing comfort, convenience, and top-notch sound quality.

I often wear them for hours while working or during my daily commute, and they never leave my ears feeling sore or fatigued. Sony's audio quality never disappoints, and the WH-CH510 is no exception.

Battery life is crucial for wireless headphones, and the WH-CH510 impresses in this department too. With its long-lasting battery, I can go days without having to recharge, making them ideal for long trips or extended use without worrying about losing power.

Taking calls on the go is now a breeze, and the voice clarity is excellent, even in noisy environments. The onboard controls for volume, playback, and call management are conveniently placed and responsive, adding to the overall user-friendly experience. The lightweight and foldable design of these headphones make them highly portable. When I'm not using them, I can easily fold them up and tuck them into my bag without taking up much space, making them the perfect travel companion.

The ratings I have given reflect the price, about £35. I am very pleased - bought them for listening to podcasts, making calls, and a bit of music. This is actually the second pair, the first had a very unstable bluetooth connection to my Huawei P9. The reference guide cautions against using it near wifi devices but wifi is everywhere now, and I have no problem with my Plantronics earpiece and other devices so I decided the first pair was faulty and sent it back. The replacement arrived the next day and proved me right - the second pair works perfectly. There is no noise cancellation but isolation is quite good, I can't hear my wife talking to me at all when listening to music. They are not the most hifi of headphones but at the price they are perfectly OK - natural, rather than boomy bass and not over bright. Just as well because I have found no way of adjusting anything but the volume on the headphone or the Huawei. Call quality is...good enough [EDIT: after 3 months use I would be less grudging - I have yet to have trouble hearing or being heard]. The first pair had poor microphone gain but I have had no complaints [after many] long calls on this second set. Not quite as precise as the £15 wired Sonys that this item replaces, but I ascribe that to the microphone being further from the mouth. It's just a little bit echoey, and one's own voice is delivered into the earpieces which was a bit odd for a minute or two but I seem to have got used to it now and don't notice. [EDIT: Since I wrote the above, and thanks to the BBC Rutherford & Fry podcast, I now know that this 'feedback' is just the deliberately engineered "sidetone", part of the purpose of which is to prevent people speaking too loudly on calls. I am completely accustomed to the headphones now and I am never aware of it]. I have read that the older CH500, available for a similar price from Amazon, has better call quality and is marginally better for music - but it is not quite as compact, nor does it charge as quickly or last as long - 20 rather than 35 hours per charge. Happy to recommend these. UPDATE. The battery life is indeed good. It typically three or four days, used for 2-3 hours each day, before the "full battery" message at switch on became approximately 70%". I recharged them anyway and continue to do so within a day or two of this alert. One caveat - I have an average sized bonce but I need very little extension on this headset. My wife's head is rather smaller, and in fact it is slightly too big for her at minimum size. If a standard baseball cap is too big for you, probably best look elsewhere.

I bought these a while ago. They are excellent for sound quality and connect easily to my S10e. The Mic on calls at first was weird like a slight echo - something called side tone I think, but I've got used to it. In fact I find it hard on calls without it. Calls are crisp and clear and I can't tell what I am saying to people now. I have the more expensive noise cancelling ones and it's hard to talk as I can't hear myself and feels weird unlike these ones. The sound quality is great and I feel you will get used to the side tone or echo and after a while - you may miss it. It is a shame you can't have the option to turn it off or down but having noise cancelling headphone as well I wish I could when needed have that on these headphones too for when I need. It fact the clarity of calls on the mic is better on these than the very expensive Sony bulky ones but you don't get the noise cancelling on this set so it depends on your needs. I would really recommend theses on budget and not too bulky. I wish I had the option to have the level of side tone on these but on my more expensive Sony ones and crispness of calls you get on these.

I've had this headphones for a couple of days and have given it the time and attention it needs before writing this review. First and foremost, the look of the headphones are very appealing. I've picked out the blue option, looks very sleek and minimalistic. The Sony name on the side of the earpads adds a bit of subtle sophistication. I do feel their is a design flaw in which the actual headband of these headphones don't fold and collapse and only the earpads can do this. Would've made this product more compatible. The sound is generally good, it comes across very crisp and clear. There is some bass involved but it's obvious that it's not that of a high quality. I do feel you don't need to up the volume to listen to it's clear sound, having it at low volume was loud enough for me. Regardless how high you have the volume, people can hear the sound coming from your headphones and in some cases it was very clear to hear - hence why I recommend using these headphones at low volume. In terms of comfort, it's ok. At some parts it's really comfortable but if you use for long periods it does become a bit of a strain. My ears heated up if I were to use these headphones for a extended period of time. As someone with a bald head, the headphones tucked tightly onto my ears and even with general head movements it very much stayed on. Again, I do feel if you were to use these headphones at a low volume then it would appear to be more comfortable on your ears. Overall, I think it's a good headphone that is very much justified with the price. I would personally give this 3 1/2 stars out of 5. It very much does the job, I found the sound good, crisp and clear enough to play music and watch videos. The Bluetooth connectivity was smooth, there wasn't any delays with connecting to videos. I would uses these headphones to only listen to music on your own time,watching videos and taking calls. I wouldn't recommend using this in a gym as they are a bit bulky or even a bus journey, unless you want everyone on the bus to be listening to the sounds coming out of these headphones. It does its job, plain and simple. Personally, if you were to ask me whether I'd buy this again, my answer would be no. I would probably want to pay extra for that bit of quality that this headphone is desperately missing. In the meantime, I am content with this item and look forward to using them on a regular basis.
