Sony WH-CH520

The Sony WH-CH520 are simply superb value. Their sound is clear and well-rounded, and nicely customizable through the app – and DSEE support turns out to be nice to have. They feel well made and are comfortably padded, and while they might not be crammed with features, they've got them where it counts.

The Sony WH-CH520 tick most of the boxes for an on-ear pair and in some areas punch above their price point. The design is lightweight (and mostly comfortable to wear), call quality is clear, they boast more features than their pricier rivals and offer a solid audio performance – though there are similarly inexpensive headphones that sound better.
