The Sony WH-CH520 White is the version for tidy desks and bright rooms. Its plain white shell matches white laptops, iPhones and minimal home-office setups, and on a webcam it looks neat rather than technical. Inside, nothing changes from the other colours: Sony rates the battery at up to 50 hours of listening, the pair weighs about 147 g, and multipoint keeps a laptop and a phone connected together, which is exactly what a working day of calls and online meetings needs.

Why white, and who it suits
White suits people who like a light, uncluttered look: a white desk lamp, a silver or white laptop, a pale phone case. It is a favourite for home offices and open-plan workplaces, where a pair of headphones sits on the desk all day and becomes part of the view. It also photographs well, so it is popular with people who film unboxings, study vlogs or desk tours. White reads as calm and professional on video, without the heavier look of black. The catch is upkeep, which the next section covers, so this colour fits someone who does not mind a quick wipe now and then.
Made for the desk and video calls
On a working day the Sony WH-CH520 White stays paired with two devices at once, usually the laptop for meetings and the phone for everything else. When the phone rings during a session, the headphones move to the call automatically, and the built-in microphone picks up your voice for calls and voice assistants. Bluetooth 5.2 gives a range of about 10 metres, enough to walk to the kitchen without dropping the audio. Sony quotes up to 40 hours of continuous talk time, so even a week of back-to-back calls fits in one charge. Physical buttons on the earcup mute the music or change volume without hunting for an on-screen slider.
Keeping white looking white
A white finish shows what black hides: newsprint, dark denim rubbing against it in a bag, oily fingertips and hair products on the cushions. A few simple habits keep it clean. Wipe the band and cups with a soft, slightly damp cloth once a week, dry them straight away, and avoid alcohol, bleach and strong cleaners. Store the headphones in a soft pouch instead of loose in a bag next to keys and pens. Handled like this, the Sony WH-CH520 White keeps its bright look for a long time, and a quick clean before an important call takes less than a minute.
Battery life you can plan around
Sony’s figures for the Sony WH-CH520 White are up to 50 hours of music playback, up to 40 hours of talk time and up to 200 hours on standby. A full charge over USB-C takes about 3 hours, while a 3-minute top-up gives about 1.5 hours of listening, handy if you notice a low battery just before a meeting. Results vary with volume and codec, since these are Sony’s test figures. The box contains only the headphones and a USB cable, so plan to use an adapter or a laptop port you already have.
The rest, in brief
The headphones use 30 mm drivers with a 20 Hz to 20 kHz response over Bluetooth, and standard DSEE processing to restore detail lost in compressed streams. The Sony Sound Connect app adds an equaliser. They support SBC and AAC, so iPhone and Android both work. The design is closed-back and on-ear, with an adjustable headband and swivelling earcups, and the weight is about 147 g.
Who This Is Not For
The Sony WH-CH520 White is not for anyone who needs active noise cancelling, because it has none; in a loud open office the cushions block only part of the noise. There is no 3.5 mm jack, so it cannot be used with a cable when the battery runs out. On-ear cushions can press after several hours, especially with glasses. It does not support LDAC and is not aimed at low-latency competitive gaming. If you do not want to clean your headphones regularly, a darker colour will suit you better than white.
