The CH-520 offers overall balanced sound with decent clarity. Note that there's no wired option - this is a wireless Bluetooth-only headphone. Voice-calling performance is decent, though not up to the level of what you get with the CH-720N. Additionally, they have multipoint Bluetooth pairing, so you can pair them with two devices simultaneously, such as a smartphone and computer, and switch audio.
They lack noise canceling and are pretty no-frills, but they offer good sound for their price, are lightweight and comfortable for on-ear headphones, and also have excellent battery life (they're rated for up to 50 hours at moderate volume levels). They're quite good, but if you can't afford them (they list for $150), the company's new budget on-ear CH-520 headphones are an intriguing option for only around $50. Sony released its new entry-level CH-720N noise-canceling headphones in 2023.

They also include top-notch noise canceling and multipoint Bluetooth pairing, so you can connect them with a PC and your phone simultaneously. They're similar to the Bose Headphones 700 in that regard. These headphones are excellent for making calls.
(The Bose Noise Canceling Headphones 700 also have six microphones total.) By contrast, the QC35 II has a total of four, two of which are used for voice. Not only have the mics been shifted on the headphones, but there's now an additional external microphone for voice pick-up, which means the QC45 has a total of six mics, four of which are beamforming and used for voice. Secondly, the microphone configuration is different. First off, we're pleased that these have USB-C instead of Micro-USB. However, there are small but notable changes. It has the same drivers, according to Bose, and the buttons are in the same place. The QuietComfort 45 has virtually the same design as its predecessor, the QuietComfort QC35 II, which many people considered one of the most comfortable over-ear headphones - if not the most comfortable. As with a lot of other new buds, you can use either bud independently in a mono mode. Battery life is rated at up to 7 hours at moderate volume levels and the buds have an IP57 water-resistance rating, which means they can take a sustained spray of water and are also dust-resistant (the Elite 4 has an IP55 rating). The Elite 4 Active are missing more-premium features like ear detection sensors and have a four-microphone array for noise canceling and voice calls (voice-calling performance is good but not exceptionally good).

They support Qualcomm's aptX audio codec (for Android and other devices that support aptX) but only the SBC codec for iPhones (no AAC support). The lightweight Elite 4 Active fit my ears comfortably and offer good, well-balanced sound with punchy bass and decent clarity. And right now, you can save $40 on the slightly more ruggedized version - the Elite 4 Active - at Amazon.
Jabra has replaced its entry-level Elite 3 buds with the new-for-2023 Elite 4, which offer active noise canceling and multipoint Bluetooth pairing.
