It's hard to believe that Sony are able to deliver this level of quality for under $40. Additional features like multi-point Bluetooth connectivity and up to 50 hours of battery life are also extremely useful to get at this low price. The lightweight, adjustable build also adds to the comfort, though the on-ear design might not be for everyone. A $20 discount makes this a very tempting deal indeed.

After carrying out a full Sony WH-CH520 review, we spoke highly of their well-balanced sound, in-app audio customization, and multi-point Bluetooth pairing. The headphones also offer DSEE and the ability to fine-tune the sound profile with the Sony Headphones Connect App.

We also love the lengthy 50-hour battery life. On the odd occasion that they need recharging, you can take advantage of the fast charging functionality. Additionally, the Sony WH-CH520's lightweight frame makes them perfect for listening on the go. The adjustable headband and soft, swivelling earcups add to the comfort.

There are a number of Sony WH-CH520 alternatives with some of them making it onto our our best Sony headphones and best wireless headphones lists. Our best on-ear headphones guide is also a great place to look for narrowing down your options.
