Where to buy Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones:
Sony’s WH-CH520 headphones are among the best budget-friendly headphones you can buy, and both Amazon and Walmart are letting you save more than ever before in 2026.
As of April 15, you can grab the Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones for $38 at Amazon and Walmart, down from $69.99. That knocks $31.99 off the usual price, which works out to a 46% discount — also the lowest price we’ve seen on Amazon this year via price tracker camelcamelcamel. Amazon currently has more colors to choose from, including cappuccino, black, blue, pink, white, and yellow, while Walmart appears to be limiting stock to the black model.
For the price, these headphones check off a lot of boxes that led to their high score in our Mashable review. You’re getting up to 50 hours of battery life, which is well beyond what you’d expect from a pair of sub-$40 headphones, plus a quick-charge feature that gives you up to 90 minutes of playback from just three minutes of charging. That makes them a particularly good pick for commuters, students, or anyone who regularly forgets to plug their tech in until the last second.
Sony also packs in a few extras that help these feel less bare-bones than the price would normally suggest There’s multipoint connectivity, so you can switch between two paired devices without a bunch of fiddling, as well as hands-free calling via the built-in microphone. If you like tweaking your audio, the Sony Headphones Connect app lets you customize the EQ to better suit whatever you’re listening to, and DSEE is onboard to help restore detail in compressed music files.
In the event you feel like really splashing out, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are available for only $248. As for other brands, you can also grab the Bose QuietComfort headphones for under $220.
