For weeks, the WH-CH520/LZ E wireless on-ear headphones in blue have been my constant companion. From bustling commutes to quiet evenings at home, these headphones have accompanied me through a variety of listening scenarios. This review will detail my experiences, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of this model.

The WH-CH520/LZ E boast a sleek, minimalist design. The blue color is understated yet stylish. They are surprisingly lightweight and comfortable for extended wear, even during long listening sessions. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, located conveniently on the earcup. Pairing with my smartphone was seamless and quick, thanks to the reliable Bluetooth connection.

Sound quality is a crucial aspect of any headphone, and the WH-CH520/LZ E deliver decent performance for their price point. The bass is present but not overpowering; mids and highs are clear and well-balanced. While not audiophile-grade, the sound is certainly enjoyable for everyday listening. I found them ideal for podcasts, audiobooks, and a wide range of music genres. The built-in microphone also performed admirably during phone calls, with callers reporting clear audio on their end. Battery life has been exceptionally good, easily lasting throughout a full workday and beyond on a single charge. This is a massive plus for users who need consistent all-day listening capabilities.

However, sound leakage is noticeable at higher volumes. In very quiet environments, those around you will likely be able to hear what you’re listening to. Noise isolation is minimal, so these are not ideal for noisy environments. I also experienced occasional Bluetooth dropouts, though this was infrequent.

Pros:

• Lightweight and comfortable design
• Excellent battery life
• Good sound quality for everyday use
• Intuitive controls
• Reliable Bluetooth connection (mostly)
• Clear microphone for calls

Cons:

• Noticeable sound leakage
• Minimal noise isolation
• Occasional Bluetooth dropouts

Overall, the WH-CH520/LZ E wireless on-ear headphones offer a compelling combination of comfort, battery life, and decent sound quality at an affordable price. While they aren’t perfect (sound leakage and occasional Bluetooth issues are drawbacks), their strengths outweigh their weaknesses for most users. If you’re looking for a pair of reliable, comfortable headphones for everyday use with a long battery life, and you don’t need exceptional noise cancellation, the WH-CH520/LZ E are a solid choice. I would happily recommend them.
