Sony’s Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones Are Now on Sale for $128.
Even if you consider yourself an audiophile, it’s hard to spend nearly $500 on premium headphones like the Sony WH-1000XM6 . Not everyone can afford such prices, so there are budget, mid-range, and premium categories. While the premium 1000XM6 headphones cost more than three times as much as the mid-range Sony WH-CH730N, they’re not three times as good. Currently priced at $128 (originally $179), the Sony WH-CH730N is the lowest price ever, according to price tracking tools , and offers incredible value for money.
It’s impressive what you can get for $128 in 2026. The CH730N uses the same Sony Connect app as premium headphones, giving you a 10-band EQ slider, a battery care feature that extends battery life, 50 hours of battery life on a single charge, active noise cancellation (ANC), Ambient Sound mode (Transparency mode), Multipoint for connecting to two devices simultaneously, and Bluetooth 6.0. Adaptive Sound Control can detect your activity (walking, sitting, noisy environments, etc.) and automatically adjust the ANC and Transparency levels to make your experience as comfortable and seamless as possible.
The microphones are decent and have voice isolation in noisy environments. I really like the inclusion of an AUX jack, which seems to be making a comeback in new headphone models. The design is lightweight and feels like plastic, but the headphones are comfortable for long wear. If you want the best headphone quality for your money, the Sony WH-CH730N offer a pretty attractive option for $128.
