These Sony headphones are under $50 and punch above their weight - and they're on sale

Sony's budget wireless headphones are 31% off, offering 50-hour battery life for under $50.

Deep Dive

Ahead of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, Sony's WH-CH520 wireless headphones have received a significant price cut, dropping 31% to just $48. The sale applies to multiple color variants including Blue, Pink, White, Yellow, and Cappuccino. While not part of Sony's premium WH-1000X series, these headphones offer core functionality with a lightweight on-ear design rated for all-day comfort and an impressive 50-hour battery life on a single charge.

Key features include Bluetooth Multipoint support for simultaneous connections to multiple devices and seamless switching, a built-in microphone for calls, and Sony's DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) to upscale compressed audio files. The WH-CH520 represents a straightforward, value-focused entry in Sony's lineup, omitting advanced features like active noise cancellation to hit an aggressive sub-$50 price point during the sale, which ZDNET's editors rate as a 4/5 'Editor's Deal'.
