They look similar to Sony's XB910N and 1000X headphone models. They feature an ultra-slim headband that has the usual ear cup hinges and a sturdy plastic construction. They are lightweight and comfortable, but they're a bit compressed for me. They come with a USB-C charge port, 3.5mm jack and a decent-length cable in the box. They are multipoint Bluetooth which means you can connect two devices at the same time should you wish to.

In my tests, Headphonesshop.Uk the CH720N's hybrid noise-cancelling tech did an excellent job of curbing ambient noise, with only few noticeable blips in walking around Waterloo station and London Victoria. The sound-silencers didn't zap all sounds around them however they struggled with low-frequency sounds such as the rumbling engine sounds of buses and trains.

Streaming music through the CH720N's Bluetooth connection was smooth, and it showed a low amount of harmonic distortion. I tested a variety of genres and discovered that they could handle the intricate interplay among instruments with ease.

The only thing that's missing is LDAC Bluetooth high-res audio support I believe it would have been a great inclusion.
