Sony - INZONE H5 Wireless Gaming Headset - White

Just buy it. Cross-collaboration with FNATIC esports and Sony yielded the finest, lightest, and most comfortable gaming headset available for PC/PS5 gamers. Directional audio is on lock; far superior to peers in this price range, even beats out Sony’s own H7 and H9. *extremely low weight* and soft fabric ensure no ear/head fatigue. Microphone is Sony’s best to date; easily tops the new Pulse Elite and Inzone H9. You’re spending at least $150-$200 more and gaining at least 100-250 grams to get anything better.

Sony finally got it right with a nice balance of sound and features. Definitely a cost effective solution.

The Sony H5 headset is a great alternative PS5 companion. These headrests are nicely built and they look great. They are very similar to my older H3 but these are wireless and more comfortable. They are black in color but you can get them in white. It came nicely packed with recyclable materials and no plastic. The foam pads are very soft, and they do a good job making the outside noise. I usually have issues with over the head headphones but with this they fit just nice and they can be adjusted. To mute the mic all you have to do is flip to mute. Mic is also adjustable and it can be bent. This headset works on its proprietary 2.4Ghz band so you have to plug in the included USB dongle to the device or your preference whether is a PS5 or PC. On the left side you will have the mic and the volume rocker, headphone jack, and USB-C port . Again, that volume rocker had the same troublesome similarities I had with the H3 when adjusting the volume. However, they added a little bit more texture this time around which makes it a bit better. Something to get used to. The sound quality is pretty good and they are loud. It is nicely balanced but the same as the previous it falls short on the base at least for taste. On the right earcup you have a power button and a chat/game selector. This headset can be connected via wire using the headphone jack port and the included cable. It charges with the included USB cable and is rated at 28 hrs of use. The Inzone Hub software on the PC allows you to adjust frequency levels using the equalizer option. There were a few presets as well. Honestly I didn’t notice any difference using the software, even adjusting the levels in custom mode. The software was actually conflicting with my video card when I was launching games. That can easily be fixed with a software update. I was using it with my Alienware with an Nvidia RTX 3070 when I encountered this issue. I actually had to uninstall the software. When using it with the PS5 no adjustment to the sound was required, it just works. I find the sound to be much better with the PS5 console than the PC. You have to connect the dongle and set it to the PS5 setting. When adjusting the volume or muting the mic you will see an overlay of those adjustments on your TV. It’s like these were made specifically for the PS5. The dongle lights up white when plugged in and when using it with the PS5 in the dark it blends in nicely with the PS5 ambient light. Despite these headsets being made for the PS5 and PC, I decided to try them with my Android mobile device and it worked perfectly. I used a USB-A to USB-C adapter to connect the dongle to my phone and I was able to listen to music and make phone calls. Overall these are very nice headset they look great and sound good. A good upgrade from the H3. They are very comfortable with good battery life. If you own a PS5 it is a perfect headset companion. In the box you get the headset, wireless dongle, USB cable, headphone cable and some manuals.
