Our Verdict

Sony WH-CH710N Wireless

Avantree HT5009 Wireless

If you're looking for more versatile headphones that you can still use for watching TV, then the Sony WH-CH710N Wireless are better than the Avantree HT5009 Wireless. The Sony headphones are more comfortable, better built, and have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer. They also have ANC to help block out some background noise. However, if you only want to watch TV shows, the Avantree headphones have lower latency and better battery life.
