The Amazon Big Spring Sale starts Wednesday. It’s a major sales event where Amazon slashes prices on a wide variety of products, including laptops, phones, and especially headphones. I searched high and low on the platform, looking for a great early deal, and I found one of the best.

Right now, Sony’s WH-CH520 wireless headphones are on sale for $48, a 31% discount off their original price. Multiple color options have received the price drop, so you don’t have to settle for just the Blue model. You can also get Pink, White, Yellow, and Cappuccino (brown). These are a great pick if you’re looking for a simple, affordable pair of wireless headphones.
These are not a high-end model from the WH-1000X series. They do not have active noise canceling, for example. Instead, the Sony WH-CH520 headphones keep things simple and practical. This device boasts a lightweight on-ear design that’s comfortable enough for all-day usage. Its battery life has been rated for up to 50 hours on a single charge.

Support for Bluetooth Multipoint lets the headphones connect to multiple devices simultaneously, and you can switch between them at any time. A built-in microphone enables crystal-clear phone calls. Plus, support for Song’s DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) boosts the audio quality of your favorite music tracks, so you can listen exactly as they were intended by the artist.
Could you find higher-quality Sony headphones? Sure, I guess, but will you be able to find headphones that offer the same value as the Sony WH-CH520? I don’t think so.
How I rated this deal
Per ZDNET’s rating system, I give this deal a 4/5 Editor’s Deal rating. A 31% discount is a big chunk off its original price. Personally, I’ve never owned a pair of Sony WH-CH520 headphones. However, based on my personal and professional experience with Sony headphones, I can say with confidence that these are a great pair, especially if you’re on a budget. They check off many of the criteria I have when shopping for headphones. Given that they’re just $48, I think I’ll pick them up.
