Yinke Case for Sony WH-CH520 /WH-CH510/ JBL Tune 510BT Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, Protective Cover Travel Storage Bag(Grey)

Product Information

You’ll find that a good fit nets you decent sound quality; much better than you’d expect from a pair of headphones this inexpensive. The Sony WH-CH510 doesn’t even work with the Sony Headphones app, so there’s no way to tinker with which features you have enabled. In focusing on more significant attributes – battery life and audio quality among them – costs have been cut on features that its target audience could do without (active noise-cancelling prime among them). Sidetone is similar to a transparency mode on noise canceling headphones, but with the not-so-fun drawback that you can’t turn it off on this set of headphones. There’s no app companion that we could find, but we couldn’t think of a need for one, given the unit’s innate simplicity.

This also means that there are no firmware updates coming for these headphones, no way to factory reset them, and no new features coming like they sometimes do on other headphones. Long gone are the days where this is much of an issue, but if you were hoping for higher-quality codecs: you’re out of luck.The volume buttons pull double duty, handling track forward/track back—just hold the up (forward) or down (back) button until you hear a chime to move tracks—but that can lead to some early mixups. This is done in two ways: firstly, we ask our five member expert listening panel to note how much sound they can hear while the headphones are playing next to them. We suspect this will be particularly good news for the large-headed among us, as well as those that like to wear hats and cans at once.

If your headphones are running low on power, a 10-minute quick charging will give you up to 90 minutes of play. It’s more comfortable than many cheaper headphones, but it creaks and groans when bent because of the quality of plastic in the band.

A five star rating is 2020 minutes or more, and similarly 1540 minutes for four stars, 1060 minutes for three stars and 580 minutes for two stars. The Sony WH-CH510 headphones are on-ear wireless headphones that support Siri and Google voice control. The fact that these Sony WH-CH510 headphones are in the on-ear format means you won’t quite get the audio quality that over-ear competitors offer.
