Sony - INZONE H9 Wireless Noise Canceling Gaming Headset - White

An honest review of these headphones is very difficult because they’re hit and miss. I will list the pros and cons. Pros: When connected to my PS5 they work seamlessly and automatically display the headphones once connected. It has a selector switch to for PS5/PS4 and PC. When gaming, it feels like you’re there and the sound is coming directly at you. I play a lot of Call Of Duty and these headphones do help with footsteps. When used on PC they work great and the mic is great as well. The mic also swivels up and down. Once swiveled up it is muted. Once swiveled down it is unmuted. The audio is great and they also have ANC (Active Noise Cancelling). The noise cancelling works great and the audio is excellent. The battery life is great and you can also use them while they charge which helps out alot. I’ve used them all day without charging or turning them off and then come back to use them and they’d still be working with no problems. Cons: There is not an alert or any caution that notifies you that the headphones need to be charged or when it reaches 100%. So unless you plug them in and wait to charge them for a while you won’t know. There also isn’t a way for you to know what percentage the headphones are on unless you get the app for the headphones on PC and install the software for it which makes no sense. Various headsets do this feature and it’s a headscratcher as to why Sony couldn’t or didn’t implement it into these, especially for the price point that these are at. Lastly, the price for these are $299.99 plus tax. I see no reason as to how or why Sony could charge this much and not have the simplest features included in their premium gaming headset. Overall: These headphones sound great, the battery life is great, the mic is great but Sony really missed on these for not adding simple features that come standard on cheaper headsets.

I know you see the price and begin to feel reluctant. DON'T!! These are an investment!! The only other headsets that come anywhere close are the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pros. From the comfort and design.. to the HUB and OUTSTANDING SOUND you will NOT... find a better pair. I don't care what anyone says. If you have a PS5... THESE ARE IT!!!

I exchanged my broken Astro 50 Headset (read me other review on that model) and picked up these after sales associate recommended this model. These headpohones are a little unique due to the connection between the headband to the earcups. The button are straightforward on the bottom of the earcups so no real learning curve. I would still read the instructions. Charging is via any phone charger and a modern USB-C jack whic is now more common with Android and Apple products. The software download is easy and the servers don't take forever to install. Updates do take a few minutes but not too long. I find when tweaking the sound via the software fairly easy but it will take a little time to find the right fit. there are sound presets that you want to try out too. The sound quality, as with all sony sound products extremely good for a rpice point of $200. I'm sure there are better but I believe your $200 is well spent. I've only had this unit for about two weeks now and am very pleased with the sound. I play a lot of Modern Warfare 2 and you have hear the faint footsteps as people are trying to sneak up on you. The only perceived negative is that the mic boom only swings up and down. you have to adjust the earcup slightly to move the mic away but this is a very minor neagtive. The product even has noise cancellation too! I will see if the product holds up to use but since I have the yearly Total Tech membership, this gaming headset comes with a much better warranty to exchange or replace if broken due to a manufacturer's defect. Go buy them in my humble opinion.
