Review on Sony WH-CH510 Wireless Bluetooth On-Ear Headset with Mic for Phone Calls - Blue by Sammie Rodriguez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Advantages, disadvantages and advantages of the Sony WH-CH510 (HR).

Pros: • It's nice and light. Very compact and doesn't take up any more space than it already is • The ear cups swivel. I appreciate that because it's easier to find a seat if you have to pack. • Very simple design. No LEDs, big logos or colorful graphics. The pitch black appearance of these headphones lives up to the saying "less is more". • I found the microphone surprisingly good. Receiving phone calls was very clear and a colleague explained that my answers sounded like I was using any smartphone. • Bluetooth is not only fast, but also 5.0. This means that 1. it maximizes battery life and 2. 5.0 allows you to connect two different headphones to your phone. Great tip if you want someone else to see what you're watching • The battery is phenomenal. Sony claims 35 hours, but honestly it can last close to two weeks (3-4 hours a day) on a single charge. A 5 in this area • Even with a long battery life, the headset charges very quickly thanks to the USB-C connection. I only practiced 10 minutes and that gave me 1:30 playtime. Count, that's 9 minutes of playback for 1 minute of charging. WOW • Only three buttons on the right earbud. I've always preferred buttons to touch sensors, so thumbs up to my book • Minimal Music Loss. About 70% volume and no one even knew I was playing Taylor Swift. • Good mids, a good stereo sound in the headphones also contributes to this. You get good tonal coloration when you play something with a guitar or a solo voice. Disadvantages and advantages: • Not waterproof. These headphones are not waterproof. That means if water gets on it, it's game over. • No headphone jack. I have no idea why they didn't install this feature for the price you pay. • No built-in noise reduction software. Without them, I felt a sharp drop in audio quality when I took them outside (to city life). It also made it difficult to communicate and reply to my colleague when I spoke to him. They're great on the inside, but the outside world makes me give up on the mic system. • The keys are so close together and almost identical. It's taking me a while to figure out what I'm about to press. Just changing the texture for each button would be an important factor in solving this problem. • Headphone shells aren't the best. After an hour of use, my earlobes started to hurt. • I'm a Jet Black fan, but if you're not so bad. This is the only color • When you press the previous/next track, you will hear a small beep. It really annoys me and I wish it would go away. Just play the next song, don't beep every time • Sound quality is what you get for the price. In summary, the bass is smooth, I felt you got the best bang for your buck with any music in the high range, and at times the vocals thin out depending on the music. On the Foo Fighters the instruments were very clean and crisp but I felt they overshadowed the vocals. At the same time, the voice was correct when listening to Adele. For any mid-range style, this is a decent headset. Verdict: Look, you get what you pay for. It doesn't come with Sony's pricey headphones, but for the price you pay, they do a good job. Simple design for decent performance in music. They are very easy to carry and I'm a big fan of the battery life. The sound quality isn't the best, however, as the lack of noise-cancelling software spoils the point of using it when there's loud noise around you. . Great battery life, simple design and decent quality. Sometimes you don't need to spend $200 for headphones when you only fly 1-2 hours to see your family. Overall: Excellent battery life which adds some value to these decent headphones. I hope I helped you. .Love, an honest reviewer
