Sony is the king of headphones, and that’s a nearly undisputed fact. Another fact? Their headphones are often on the pricey side — but not always. Here’s one delightful exception: The wireless Sony WH-CH520, a comfortable, long-lasting set of cans with superb sound quality, are marked way, way down to just $38 from their usual $60 at Amazon.

Connect to two devices at once and easily swap between them — and rock out for up to 50 hours at a time.
Why is this a good deal?
These are high-end headphones without a high-end cost, and that’s especially true right now — you can snag these for just $38 versus their normal $60. This is the lowest price on the web right now, beating out Walmart and Best Buy. No wonder 2,000-plus pairs have flown off the virtual shelves in the last month alone.
Why do I need this?
Let’s start with the most important thing: comfort. The Sony WH-CH520s are lightweight and have soft ear cups, plus extra cushioning for your head. You’ll be able to wear these all day without the all-too-familiar ache in your ears that comes from uncomfortable, unbalanced headphones.
The next thing is the battery life. These guys can go for up to 50 hours on a single charge, and throwing them on the charger for just three minutes gives an unbelievable 90 minutes of playback time. Long plane rides, meet your match.
You can also customize the equalizer to provide you with the kind of sound you want, and the multipoint connection makes it easy to pair with two separate Bluetooth devices and swap between them. A built-in microphone means hands-free calling, so you won’t even have to pull your phone out to answer a call.
What reviewers say
Nearly 10,000 shoppers bestowed a five-star rave on these, contributing to an impressive overall 4.5 rating.
Pros
“Best headphones I’ve ever had,” said one of them. “Never owned such good headphones. Definitely worth the money! It’s very lightweight and the battery life is incredible! I got it two days ago and the battery is still at 70%! It’s very stylish as well. I’ve gotten so many compliments on these headphones. Must-have! Highly recommend!”
Another gushed: “I couldn’t be happier with the quality and very affordable price. Well worth it!”
“I was influenced by TikTok girlies and got these over-the-ear headphones,” wrote a fashionable fan. “I have AirPods and can’t bear them more than 5-7 minutes as they hurt my ears. These are awesome! Not as tight as Beats or bulky — very light, streamlined in design and the color is beautiful and muted. Sound quality is great — I don’t care too much about bass, etc., but no complaints here when it comes to sound. Would def buy as a gift for someone!”
Cons
“Sound quality is pretty good, range is okay, clarity is good,” said this shopper. “Only thing is, after wearing it for over an hour the tops of my ears start to hurt.”
This guy really gave us an earful, saying that the controls buttons “suck” and are “mushy … not as intuitive direction-wise (where you’d think forward play is, is actually backwards play), and hard to distinguish tactile-wise.” He added: ” No noise cancelling or transparency mode; very basic music only, baby!”
