Sony appears to be getting ready to add two new models to its affordable headphone lineup, and they could arrive pretty soon. A new leak has revealed a possible launch date for the Sony WH-CH730N and WH-CH530, along with their expected prices, colors, and some other details. According to well-known leaker Roland Quandt, both headphones could go on sale as early as September 7.
The WH-CH730N is expected to sit above the entry-level WH-CH530 and could serve as the successor to the WH-CH720N. What’s particularly interesting this time is the reported price. The latest leak puts the European price at just €69.99, which would be less than half the €149 launch price of the WH-CH720N in 2023. Despite the much lower price, the new model is still expected to offer active noise cancellation (ANC).
There is a bit of a trade-off in terms of weight, though. The WH-CH730N is reportedly 220 grams, compared with 192 grams for the WH-CH720N. That’s 28 grams heavier, or roughly a 14.6% increase. The headphones are also expected to come in four colors: black, pink, blue, and sand. Sony could, of course, give these colors different names when the headphones officially launch.
Previous retail leaks have also suggested that the WH-CH730N will feature Bluetooth connectivity, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port. None of these details have been confirmed by Sony yet.
The WH-CH530, meanwhile, is expected to be the cheaper option of the two. The latest leak suggests a €34.99 price tag, with five color options: black, blue, mint green, pink, and white. Unlike the WH-CH730N, the entry-level model is reportedly expected to skip ANC.
If the September 7 date turns out to be accurate, there’s a good chance we’ll see both headphones at IFA 2026 in Berlin.
