Sony’s New WH-CH720N Headphones Hit an All-Time Low of $128

Snag a great pair of headphones with active noise cancellation and multipoint connectivity for much less than flagship models.

A pair of everyday headphones is a solid investment for most people. Whether you work from home or just want some privacy to immerse yourself in your favorite content in your down time, over-ear headphones tend to be more comfortable than their in-ear counterparts. However, top-notch models can get pretty pricey. If you’re looking to get a solid pair of headphones at a decent price, Amazon has marked down Sony’s WH-CH720N headphones, so you can grab a pair for just $128 right now (save $22). We don’t know how long this offer will last, so we recommend making your purchase sooner rather than later.

While these headphones don’t have as many features as the more powerful WH-1000XM5 headphones from Sony, they do have have a lot going for them — especially at their more affordable price point. In addition to good sound quality,  these headphones have 30mm drivers and come equipped with Sony’s V1 chip for solid active noise cancellation. They also have an ambient sound mode and robust EQ settings you can customize to taste. 

Another feature these headphones offer is multipoint connectivity, which means you can connect to your computer or phone at the same time. And they are a good option for voice-calling as well. Additionally, Alexa is built in, making it easy to ask for a specific song, control compatible smart home devices and more. As for battery life, you should get up to 35 hours per charge, or as much as 50 hours if you have noise cancellation turned off. 

In his review, CNET’s David Carnoy noted that Sony’s WH-CH720N «offers the appealing combination of a lightweight, comfortable design with respectable performance,» which makes this an ideal deal for people who don’t want to splurge on a premium headset. And for other budget-friendly listening options, be sure to check out our roundup of the best headphone and earbuds deals currently available.

Motorola’s July 4th Sale Can Save You Up to $650 on Popular Phones Like the Foldable Razr Ultra

This massive sale from Motorola brings you brand-new, unlocked Android phones, starting at just $130.

The Fourth of July holiday weekend is upon us and with it a huge array of bargains to be had. If you’ve been thinking about a new Android phone, Motorola is having a big sale on its most popular devices, making these already affordable options even more attainable. With savings of up to $650 on phones in the Razr, Edge and Moto G families, there’s something for every style and budget. Just keep in mind that these deals are likely to fade as fast as fireworks in the sky. We don’t have an exact end date, but «limited time» means if you see something you like, don’t wait.

The Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 is the company’s competitively priced foldable phone. You can pick one up with 1TB of storage for $1,300, which is $200 off the regular price and available in a variety of colors and finishes. If you prefer the Motorola Razr Plus 2024 model instead, you’ll find that starting at $799, again $200 less than the typical retail price. We spotted this same deal at Amazon right now as well, if you prefer to shop there.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

If the Motorola Edge lineup is more your style for a limited time, you can get the Motorola Edge 2024 for just $350 and the Motorola Edge Plus 2023 for $400, both deals reflecting a $400 savings. We also spotted the Edge 2024 for the same price of $350 at Best Buy.

And for the most wallet-friendly phones, the Moto G phones make a great option. These already super-affordable phones are now even less, including the Moto G Power 5G 2024, which is $210 at Amazon or at Motorola, a price that falls $90 below the regular cost.

Why this deal matters

Concerns over the rising cost of tech because of tariffs may have you feeling more urgent about getting a new phone before there’s a further price increase. Between the Fourth of July discounts and forthcoming Prime Day offers, it’s a great time to stock up on tech. Motorola is already known for making some of the more affordable Android phones on the market, including foldable options, so if you’ve been wanting to upgrade or try one out, this July 4th sale is the time to do it.
