The Sony WH-CH520 Beige is the quiet, warm option in the line-up. Its sand-like tone sits close to linen, camel and cream, so the headphones blend into an outfit instead of contrasting with it. That makes it a favourite for people who dress in neutral shades and want their tech to match their bag and shoes. Behind the colour are the same specifications as every WH-CH520: around 147 g, up to 50 hours of listening on one charge according to Sony, and multipoint pairing for a phone and a second device.

Why beige, and who it suits
Beige is for people who build their look around soft, earthy colours: cream abayas, linen shirts, camel coats, tan leather bags. On them, black headphones can look heavy and white can look stark, while beige simply fits in. It is a mature, understated choice that suits adults as much as students, and it makes a thoughtful gift for someone with a minimalist style. Because the tone is close to many skin shades, light foundation marks on the cushions are less obvious than on white or pink, though heavier dirt still shows more than on black. A soft, slightly damp cloth keeps the Sony WH-CH520 Beige looking clean.
For weekends, cafés and days out
The Sony WH-CH520 Beige is at its best on long, relaxed days away from the desk. Sony rates the battery at up to 50 hours of playback, so a weekend away or a few long days out will not need a charger, and up to 200 hours of standby means the pair is still ready after sitting in a bag for days. A 3-minute charge gives about 1.5 hours of listening if you need a quick top-up in a café. Multipoint keeps a phone and a tablet paired for music and videos. Be realistic about planes and trains: with no active noise cancelling, engine noise comes through, and you will need more volume than with an ANC model.
Calls, controls and connection
A built-in microphone takes calls and voice-assistant commands, and when two devices are paired the headphones switch to the phone when it rings. Physical buttons on the earcup handle playback, volume and calls, which is easier than touch controls when you are walking. The connection runs on Bluetooth 5.2 with about 10 metres of range, and the SBC and AAC codecs cover iPhone and Android. The Sony Sound Connect app adds an equaliser and shows the battery level of the Sony WH-CH520 Beige.
Battery and charging
Sony quotes up to 50 hours of music playback, up to 40 hours of talk time and up to 200 hours of standby. A full charge via USB-C takes about 3 hours, and only a USB cable comes in the box, so you will use an adapter or computer port you already own. Higher volume reduces these figures, which are measured under Sony’s test conditions.
The rest, in brief
Inside each earcup is a 30 mm driver with a 20 Hz to 20 kHz response over Bluetooth, supported by Sony’s standard DSEE processing for compressed music. The closed-back, on-ear design has an adjustable headband and swivelling earcups, and the weight is about 147 g. Sony does not list a folding hinge, so keep a soft pouch handy to protect the light finish in a handbag.
Who This Is Not For
The Sony WH-CH520 Beige is not for frequent flyers or anyone who needs active noise cancelling, because it has none. There is no 3.5 mm jack, so it cannot be used with an in-flight entertainment cable or once the battery is empty. On-ear cushions can press after several hours, especially with glasses. It does not support LDAC and is not made for low-latency competitive gaming. If you want the colour that hides dirt best, black is more forgiving than beige.
