(SPOT.ph) If your life is a film, then you're the main character. And today, you've decided to be that girl boss who gets to decide what goes and what doesn't; what to let in and keep out; your mood, and how you view the world. Just tune in to the good vibes by turning up your favorite playlist a la protagonist in a 2000s teen flick montage during your morning commute, and tune out the negativity (a.k.a the rest of the world) with Sony's "newest and lightest" headphones, the WH-CH720N and the WH-CH520.
Whether you're a casual listener, an audiophile, a main character, or someone who is more likely to avoid unwanted social interaction outside, and who is on the hunt for a new pair of minimalist and functional headphones, you can try your ears at these ones from Sony.

Check out the features of the Sony WH-CH720N and WH-CH520 headphones:
First, the obvious difference: the WH-CH720N is an over-ear headphone, which has larger pads built with comfortable synthetic leather and urethane materials with an optimum ear pad structure that covers your entire ear. Granted, they're chunkier in build, but despite that, they're said to be Sony's "lightest" over-ear pairs at 192 grams; while the WH-CH520 is an on-ear headphone, with smaller earpads that just sit on top of your ears. It also features an adjustable headband with padding and soft earpads. If you prefer bulkier, opt for the former, and if lighter and more compact, then the latter. Despite the physical difference, both guarantee light and comfort for long hours of wear. Going road-tripping or (very long) commuting? No worries, you could still have your music video moment with your over-ear or on-ear headphones and look out the window.
Both headphones produce premium sound quality, courtesy of the Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE), and great call quality for Zoom calls or other video meetings. If you want to tune into more music and tune out the rest of the world (aka the Metro, your co-workers, all your thoughts et cetera), the WH-CH720 has a Dual Noise Sensor tech and Sony's Integrated Processor V1 chip for noise canceling.
Both are easy to operate with their built-in buttons, connect, and can be voice-controlled. They also use recycled plastic materials.
The WH-CH720N has up to 35 hours of battery life while the WH-CH520 can go up to 50 hours of battery life. The former is priced at P7,999 and is available in three colors: Black, White, and Blue; while the latter retails at P3,299 and is in four colors: Black, White, Blue, and Beige. Yay for more color choices.
The WH-CH720N and WH-CH520 are available at Sony Authorized Dealers nationwide, on Sony's website, and on Lazada.
