It's no wonder noise-canceling headphones are more popular than ever — the world around us seems to get louder and louder, doesn't it? The downside? They can be expensive, especially if you want seriously high-quality audio. Sony's newest pair of noise-canceling cans deliver comparable quality to many top-shelf models, but with a budget-friendly price tag — right now, they're available for just $128 (down from $150).

Sony says the WH-CH720N headphones are their lightest over-the-ear headphones ever. Even more impressive? They get up to 35 hours of battery life, and a three-minute charge results in a full hour of playback. The Ambient Sound and Adaptive Sound controls make it easy to adjust the amount of noise that makes it through the headphones — there are 20 different level settings to pick from. There's even a setting that lets you "Focus on Voice" so that you can talk with people around you without removing your headphones. The WH-CH720N headphones can wirelessly connect to two different devices at one time, and you can swap between them with the touch of a button.

One reviewer summed it up succinctly: "These won out over every other set of headphones I tried!"

"Battery lasts forever!" said another customer. "Fits my adult-size head perfectly and fits great on my kids. The sound quality is great! Be careful using it on workouts, hiking, or going for walks because you won’t hear anything else. Stays clean and cannot see any sweat marks or fingerprints. Easy to wipe down. Only had to charge once since getting it and had a handful of days using it. Definitely worth it!"

"Excellent headphones. Notably better than my Soundcore Q45 and has similar sound/active noise canceling as the Sony XM4. Danced around buying these for a while, but these are a great value for the price range and I’m glad I did. The headphones are also excellent for gaming!" one fan said.
