1 / 7Sony WH-CH530 Wireless Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones, Mint
Sony WH-CH530 headphones are lightweight, mint-coloured wireless on-ear headphones with Bluetooth, app-based sound customisation and a claimed battery life of up to 55 hours. Their long-playtime claim and multipoint connection may suit commuting and everyday listening, while the on-ear design and passive noise control are worth considering if you prefer over-ear headphones or active noise cancellation.

Pros
- The listed 150-gram weight makes these a lightweight option for carrying and everyday listening.
- Multipoint connection can help when switching between two paired devices, such as a phone and a laptop.
- The app's 10-band EQ offers more sound adjustment than a fixed tuning.
Cons
- The on-ear fit sits on the ears rather than enclosing them, which may not suit buyers who prefer over-ear headphones.
- Noise control is listed as passive, not active noise cancellation.
