Sony is one of the go-to brands for headphones, and for good reason. Sony offers advanced features and premium design, usually at a high price. But not always.

As of Aug. 26, Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones are selling at Amazon for just $38, which means you’ll pocket a saving of $31.99 compared to the regular $69.99 list price. That’s almost half off a well-rounded headset with a mix of performance, comfort, and convenience. $38 is also the lowest price we’ve seen for these Sony headphones according to price tracker camelcamelcamel.

There are quite a few highlights that make the WH-CH520s one of the best Sony headphones on sale right now. One of the most eye-catching features is the battery life: up to 50 hours on a single charge. Whether you’re heading off on a weekend trip, powering through back-to-back commutes, or planning for a few long festival days, you won’t need to worry about running out of juice. And if you do, a quick charge via USB-C gives you hours of listening in minutes.

Sound quality also holds up well for the price. Sony’s EQ Custom, accessible through the Headphones Connect app, lets you fine-tune the audio to your taste. DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) is on hand too, boosting the clarity of compressed files and making your Spotify streams feel more polished.

Comfort hasn’t been overlooked, either. The lightweight build, swivel earcups, and soft cushioned pads are designed for all-day wear, while the adjustable headband helps you find the right fit. Add a built-in microphone for crystal clear calls, and you’ve got a solid option for both work and play.

On the practical side, multipoint connection lets you switch seamlessly between two devices, while Swift Pair and Fast Pair make it easy to hook up to Windows PCs and Android phones. If you misplace them, you can even track them down using Google’s Find My Device.

At just $38, these Sony headphones offer tremendous value and are a clever choice if you’re after a dependable wireless set without breaking the bank.
