How does the WH-CH720N compare with the WH-1000XM5?

The XM5 has stronger noise canceling, a more premium build and richer sound. The CH720N is much lighter and offers longer battery life, so it is the better pick for comfort and endurance over maximum isolation.

Is the noise canceling good enough for flights?

It reduces engine rumble and steady noise well, but it is not as quiet as Sony's flagship models. For very loud cabins, the premium line isolates more.

How long does the battery last and how fast does it charge?

Sony rates it at up to 35 hours of playback. A 3-minute charge gives about an hour of listening.

Can it connect to two devices at once?

Yes. Multipoint lets you pair two devices, such as a phone and a laptop, and switch between them without repairing.

Does it come with a case?

No. The headphones fold for storage but Sony does not include a carry case.

Yes. A detachable cable lets you listen wired when the battery is low or on flights with seatback audio.
