The Sony WH-CH520 Pink takes Sony’s lightest everyday on-ear headphones and gives them a soft, light pink finish that reads as an accessory rather than a piece of tech. Underneath the colour it is the same pair as the rest of the range: about 147 g on your head, up to 50 hours of listening per charge by Sony’s figures, and multipoint pairing so a phone and a tablet can share one headset. If you want headphones that sit alongside a pastel phone case, a white trainer or a denim jacket instead of hiding in the background, this is the colour built for that.

Why pink, and who it suits
Pink is for people who treat headphones as part of what they wear. The light shade sits well with white, grey, cream and denim, and it matches the pastel cases many people already have on their phones. It is a popular pick for teenagers and university students, and it is one of the easiest colours to give as a present because it looks like a fashion item straight out of the box. The honest trade-off is that a pale colour shows life faster than black: foundation, hair products and pen marks become visible on the cushions sooner. A wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth every week or so keeps the Sony WH-CH520 Pink looking fresh; skip alcohol and harsh cleaners, which can dull the finish.
A pair built for the daily commute
The commute is where the Sony WH-CH520 Pink earns its place. One charge rated at up to 50 hours covers a full working week of metro and bus rides with plenty to spare, so you are not checking the battery every morning. If you do forget, Sony says a 3-minute quick charge gives about 1.5 hours of playback, which is enough for the trip in. The buttons on the earcup handle play, pause and volume, so the phone can stay in your pocket on a crowded platform. Keep in mind there is no active noise cancelling: on a loud train you will turn the volume up, and that shortens the battery life Sony quotes.
Battery and charging, in numbers
Sony rates the Sony WH-CH520 Pink at up to 50 hours of music playback, up to 40 hours of continuous talk time and up to 200 hours on standby. A full charge through the USB-C port takes about 3 hours. These figures come from Sony’s own test conditions, so real results depend on volume, codec and how far the phone is from you. As a rough guide, someone who listens for two hours a day will charge about once every three weeks. Only a USB cable comes in the box, so you charge from any USB power adapter or computer port you already own.
Calls and two devices at once
Multipoint lets the headphones stay paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time, for example a phone and an iPad, and they switch to the phone when a call rings. The built-in microphone handles calls and voice assistants. The connection uses Bluetooth 5.2 with a range of about 10 metres, and the headphones support the SBC and AAC codecs, so they work with iPhone and Android alike. In the Sony Sound Connect app you can adjust the equaliser and check the battery level. For someone who watches videos on a tablet and takes calls on a phone, this saves re-pairing several times a day.
The rest, in brief
Each earcup has a 30 mm driver with a 20 Hz to 20 kHz response over Bluetooth, and Sony’s standard DSEE processing restores some detail lost in compressed streams. The design is closed-back and sits on the ear, with an adjustable headband and swivelling earcups. Weight is about 147 g. Sony does not describe the headband as folding, so the Sony WH-CH520 Pink goes into a bag with the earcups turned inward; a soft pouch protects the light finish.
Who This Is Not For
Skip the Sony WH-CH520 Pink if you need active noise cancelling for flights or a noisy office, because these headphones have none. There is no 3.5 mm jack, so they cannot be used with a cable when the battery is empty. On-ear cushions can press after several hours, especially if you wear glasses. They do not support LDAC and are not designed for low-latency competitive gaming. And if you want a colour that never shows makeup or dirt, black is the more practical choice.
