Best electronics deals for Amazon Prime Day 2025: Top discounts on Apple, Shark and more
Sony is a brand that needs no introduction. And while it may no longer be the striding all-consumer-tech colossus it once was back when it lent its hand to phones, laptops and TVs, when it comes to personal audio, the big S is still winning over the fans. Especially now that said person's audio is more affordable than ever.
In this instance, I speak of the WH-CH720N over-ears that became available much earlier this year. Priced at just under the ton mark on release, savvy ear-users can now pick these up for just £64. No, your eyes do not deceive you.
So, what do you get for this next-to-nothing, cost-of-living-pleasing price? For a start, a relatively minimalist-looking pair of ear-huggers with all the requisite buttons required to play and pause, skip back and forth, adjust volume and answer calls placed neatly on the right earcup. Which sees to the basics. Then you have Bluetooth 5.2 offering both a reliable connection and multi-point to keep your essential gadgets paired up. Effective ANC keeps unwanted racket at bay, while an Ambient option lets you allow some sound in on the off-chance you need to keep an ear out.
Then there's the sound. Featuring a more diminutive set of 30mm drivers, what they may lack in scale is more than made up for by the inclusion of 360 Reality Audio which works to surround you in a nicely balanced bubble of audio that lends your music a welcome feel of space, helping to fend-off the annoying but inevitable issue of listening fatigue.
Light too, at just 192g, they may not be the most comfortable cans I've had clamped to my noggin during the course of these reviews, but for £64, they're more than acceptable.
With the Sony Headphones Connect app available to make minor adjustments to set-up, quality, relatively expense-free ANC is now available for the masses.
Connectivity : Bluetooth 5.2, 3.5mm

Our top-rated headphones are almost half price this Prime Day
Sony launched the WH-1000XM6 back in May, which means the previous generation of our favourite noise-cancelling headphones are going cheap in the Prime Day sale – the excellent Sony WH-1000XM5 have been slashed by a massive £160. Prime Day is serving up some great tech deals on everything from TVs to laptops, but if you're in the market for a new pair of premium headphones, this is the one you really need to know about. Released last year, the WH-1000XM5 just dropped to their lowest-ever price in the sale. The flagship cans from Sony usually retail at £379, but Amazon has slashed the price by a massive 42 per cent, bringing them down to just £219. We're huge fans of these headphones, so if you've been waiting for the right moment to invest in some seriously good noise-cancellers, this is it. Sony's WH-1000XM5 headphones held the top spot in our round-up of the best wireless headphones until they were replaced by the newest edition, and for good reason. The noise-cancellation is best-in-class, effectively silencing the outside world whether you're on a noisy commute or trying to focus in a busy office. They're also lightweight and comfortable, making them perfect for long listening sessions. Most importantly, they sound superb. In our full review, our tester said: 'Whether it's orchestral music, rap, podcasts or your favourite pop tracks, the WH-1000XM5 handle it all with poise and gumption.' Smart features like automatically pausing your music when you start talking add to the seamless experience. At this new low price of £219, you're getting flagship performance and five-star quality for a mid-range cost.
