Overview
The Sony WH-CH730N combines wireless listening, Active Noise Cancelling and an over-ear design in a lightweight pair of headphones finished in blue. At approximately 207g, they are designed to be easy to wear for longer periods, whether you’re listening at home, travelling or getting on with work.
Active Noise Cancelling helps reduce unwanted background noise, while Ambient Sound Mode lets you hear more of what is happening around you when required. This makes it simple to adapt your headphones to different listening situations without having to remove them.
Bluetooth connectivity gives you wireless freedom, while Multipoint allows the headphones to remain connected to two devices. There is also a detachable 1.2m headphone cable, so you have a wired listening option when required.
Sound Quality & Comfort
The WH-CH730N uses 30mm dynamic driver units and supports a Bluetooth frequency response of 20Hz–20,000Hz. Sony’s DSEE processing is designed to restore some of the high-frequency detail that can be lost when music is compressed, helping give streamed and compressed tracks a more detailed presentation.
You can also adjust the sound to suit your preferences using the Sony | Sound Connect app. Its 10-band equaliser gives you more control over the balance of your music, while dedicated Game EQ presets provide an alternative sound setting when gaming.
For listening in different environments, Active Noise Cancelling and Ambient Sound Mode give you two useful options. Noise Cancelling helps reduce surrounding distractions, while Ambient Sound Mode allows outside sound through when you need greater awareness of your surroundings.
The over-ear construction places the earcups around your ears rather than directly on them. Combined with the lightweight 207g design, this makes the headphones well suited to longer listening sessions.
Features That Matter
Active Noise Cancelling
The WH-CH730N uses noise-cancelling microphones to detect surrounding sound and reduce unwanted background noise. This can be particularly useful on public transport, in busy environments or when you want to concentrate on your audio without turning the volume up simply to overcome background noise.
Ambient Sound Mode
Noise Cancelling is not always what you need. Ambient Sound Mode allows surrounding sounds through, making it easier to remain aware of announcements, conversations and what is happening around you without taking the headphones off.
Wireless Bluetooth and Multipoint
Bluetooth gives you convenient wireless listening, while Multipoint lets the headphones maintain connections with two devices. This is useful if you regularly move between devices, such as a phone and computer, and want to avoid repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting.
Personalised Sound
The Sony | Sound Connect app provides control over sound settings, including a 10-band equaliser. This lets you adjust the sound to your own preferences rather than relying solely on a fixed tuning. DSEE processing is also included to help restore high-frequency detail from compressed audio.
Clearer Calls
Beamforming microphones and voice processing are designed to capture your voice more clearly during calls. Wind noise reduction also helps reduce the effect of wind interference, making the headphones suitable for taking calls in a wider range of everyday surroundings.
Wired Listening
The detachable 1.2m connection cable gives you an alternative to Bluetooth. The headphones support passive operation, so you can use a wired connection when that is more convenient.
Everyday Benefits
The combination of wireless connectivity, noise cancellation and long battery life makes the WH-CH730N straightforward to use throughout the day. With up to 50 hours of continuous music playback with Noise Cancelling switched on, you can spend less time worrying about recharging. Switching Noise Cancelling off extends music playback to up to 75 hours.
The lightweight construction is helpful when headphones are worn for extended periods, while physical controls on the earcups make everyday operation straightforward.
Multipoint connectivity is another useful feature for modern device use. Rather than being restricted to a single Bluetooth connection, you can keep two compatible devices connected and switch between them when required.
Who Is It Ideal For?
The WH-CH730N is a good choice for anyone looking for wireless over-ear headphones with Active Noise Cancelling and extended battery life.
They suit commuters and travellers who want to reduce surrounding distractions, as well as people who spend time listening to music, podcasts or other audio at home or while working.
The Multipoint connection also makes them worth considering if you regularly move between two Bluetooth devices, while the wired connection provides additional flexibility when wireless listening isn’t suitable.
Why Choose This Product?
The WH-CH730N brings together the features that matter most for everyday wireless headphone use: Active Noise Cancelling, a comfortable over-ear design, long battery life and flexible Bluetooth connectivity.
The ability to choose between Noise Cancelling and Ambient Sound Mode makes the headphones adaptable to different surroundings, while the Sony | Sound Connect app gives you greater control over the sound.
With up to 50 hours of music playback with Noise Cancelling enabled, plus a wired listening option and Multipoint Bluetooth, the WH-CH730N is designed to be useful across a wide range of listening situations.
