Sony INZONE H9 Wireless Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Gaming Headset, White

I've been through a lot of gaming headsets over the years and after a year of using the H9s they are easily the best ones I have used. First off, as someone who mostly plays on Playstation they integrate perfectly. You get all of the UI features you'd expect from a first party product which immediately feels better than other third party brands. PC performance is good but not really noteworthy in any way, they sound great, they work fine. There is an app that you can use on windows but in my opinion it's useless. The default sound profile is much better than anything I could come up with on my own. Bluetooth is also really nice to have. You can listen to music or take calls while playing games easily One of the best things about it is just how comfortable they are. I've found most gaming headsets uncomfortable after extended use but I could wear the H9s all day without any discomfort other them getting a little warm in the summer. Of the dozen or so gaming headsets I've used, nothing else comes close to being as comfortable as the H9s. The default sound profile is pretty balanced. If you are a huge bass junkie something from Turtle Beach or logitech might be a better choice, but for me there is plenty of bass on the H9s. You can crank it up in the app but it just doesn't sound very good. Noise cancelling is also very solid. The easiest headphones I'd compare them to is the Sony XM4 or XM5. I think both the sound and noise cancelling is slightly better on ths headphones, but the H9s are very close to as good. Cons: the price is steep, but I think it's understandable when you look at comparable headphones. They run a bit large. I think a child would have trouble wearing them so keep that in mind The automatic turn off doesn't seem to recognize PS5 rest mode as being "turned off" meaning that if I forget to manually turn them off I'll often come back the next day to a mostly dead battery. Seems like a frustrating oversight on Sony's part. Expect to turn them off manually each time. If you are only using them on PC the auto turn off function seems fine. This is probably the biggest downside to them. Also, these go on sale regularly and it's not hard to find them for around half off either from a sale or refurb. I found mine for $140 and have friends that also got them for that cheap. Overall I'd highly recommend.

I'm currently using the Sony In Zone H9 Wireless Headset with my PlayStation 5 via USB dongle (2.4 Ghz) and paired up to my Android phone via (Bluetooth). I own two pairs of Pulse 3D wireless headsets (Black & White) both are still working in perfect condition to compare this written comparison review. I bought the H9's to see if my gaming experience would be better compared to the Pulse 3D headset. Here's the pros and cons for the H9's comparing it to the Pulse 3D wireless headset. Pros: • H9's are very comfortable. H9's don't squeeze your head as much as the Pulse 3D's. Very little difference between the two but slightly noticable comfort. • H9's feels lighter on my head. Both are pretty light weight headsets. Most likely this is from the bigger ear cups on the H9's. • Both are Glasses friendly headsets. • Both use USB-C to charge the headsets. • Both have easy volume controls on the left ear cup. H9's has a volume wheel for adjusting the overall sound which is more user friendly compared to the up and down separate volume buttons on the Pulse 3D headset. • Both are able to adjust the game volume and voice chat volume independently. (This is a huge pro for when playing online with friends.) H9's button's are on the right ear cup. Pulse 3D's are on the left. • Noise Cancelation on the H9's is the true seller for me. It's really good. By far the best feature to have on a gaming headset. Turning the Noise Cancelation On is as easy as pressing a single button on your left ear cup to adjust the level of noise around you. When I turn on the noise cancelation to max I can't even hear my window air-conditioner any more. Which was a distraction from my gaming experience. • Microphone quality sounds allot better as what my PSN friends say. • H9's are easier to rest around your neck because the ear cups fold in towards your chest. Pulse 3D's ear cups don't fold or move at all. • H9's are able to pair a Bluetooth device while gaming on the PlayStation 5. For example I can listen to music or answer phone calls from my Smartphone all while I can still hear the game and chat audio from the PlayStation 5. Tip: Best way if you're needing to focus on your phone call press and hold the mute button on your DualSense Controller to kill the voice chat and game chat audio from the PS5. • The Sound quality from the H9 headset has better Highs and Better Lows. I ran several tests with this headset both bass sound tests and vocal sound tests. Overall the sound quality of these internal speaker's in the H9's are a improvement compared to the Pulse 3D. Both headsets have really good sound for gaming. Cons: • The Price between the two is a $200 difference. Pulse 3D is $99 and the H9's are $299. • Can't mute the microphone with the DualSense Controller. (The Pulse 3D Wireless Headset also can't mute the microphone from the DualSense Controller unless you use the 3.5 mm headphone jack to the DualSense Controller. This is a minor complaint but logically it makes sense to use the most quickest way to mute yourself for thing's like coughing or sneezing. The DualSense Controller mute button is the quickest button that's near your hands while gaming. This is a major oversight for the PS5's firmware/hardware. Pro Tip: to mute yourself on the H9's you just flip up the boom microphone on the left ear cup until you hear a click or see the microphone is muted on the TV. With the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset you have to press the Mute button on the left ear cup. • If you're standing or sitting down and you bend over 45° and look straight downward to the floor the H9's slowly start to slide off your head. Pulse squeeze's your head slightly more so the headset doesn't slide off your head as fast. Nothing to be major concerned about because you typically look forward while play games. • H9's don't have a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Pulse 3D headset does. • H9's don't currently have a EQ option to adjust on the PlayStation 5 compared to the Pulse 3D. Overall I'm impressed with the H9's. My only major complaint is the price and the lack of EQ settings on the PlayStation 5. Both issues could be resolved overtime. So if you're looking for a gaming headset and want good quality sound and the ability to cut out sounds around you while you're playing a video game I'd strongly recommend the H9's. If you're not wanting noise cancelation and are on a budget I'd recommend the Pulse 3D headset.

I use them on my PS5. They have good sound quality. Great directional 3D audio. The noise cancelling works well but I've heard better from cheaper headsets before, however, I find that I don't even need to use it as the cups block out quite a bit without the need to cut your battery life in half. Normal battery life is great and I love the easy on/off flip mic. People say I sound clear 9n the mic too. Also has built in dedicated buttons for changing the mix from game to chat and easy roller switch for adjusting the overall volume. I switched from the Playstation platinum to these as the headband on the platinum was VERY uncomfortable. These I can wear for hours with no issues at all. We'll see how long the padded headband holds up though, feels a little on the cheap side for the price point. By default the talk back function is on, so that means you hear yourself recorded on a slight delay in the headset. This can be turned off by hooking them up to a Windows pc and downloading the Sony software and they will remember this setting when connected to the Playstation in the future. I've only had them a couple of months but overall I'd say they are a very good headset but if they are totally worthy the money is still TBD over more time.

I RECOMMEND DO NOT BUY! I bought these headphones in December 2025 on sale from Amazon. In August 2026, the headband fell apart: The soft leatherette head cushion attached to the top headband literally detached from the top headband, and the stuffing began to come out. I have seen other instances of this online. My head is not unusually large, and I am very gentle with all of my tech. The headset works well otherwise, and the sound was good in my estimation - although a bit on the low end. The Mic worked well. However, I would not buy this headset again because I believe this flaw is insurmountable. I have since replaced the Sony H9s with the Sony H9 IIs. The second edition of these headphones is vastly superior in every way. I highly recommend these. I bought them from Amazon on sale for $250, down to $350. Worth every penny at this price!

They are very mid: • quality from the mic has been reported as average • the nosie canceling feature is over hyped as it doesnt do it well enough • the out of range beeping is beyond annoying, it could just be one beep to let you know but it contestantly tries reconnecting cuasing non stop beeping and loud static sounds when intermediate connection is established. • The headset doesnt appear to turn itself off over night, it stays on and the battery will be drained/dead. • quality of audio is nothing to brag about. • the inzone app, which i was ignorant of its existence, is needed to update the firmware but it does take a long time to do so. • there isnt a fast charge that I am aware of. Some pros: • comfortable for all day wear • minimal postion change when moving • consistent quality • decent range but can easily lose connection due to walls. •connects to phone via bluetooth and my computer via the reciver; I can have it connected to both and have both run audio same time, i also use it for phone calls while also playing games, no audio issues as a result of double connection

I got these specifically because I need a good ambient mode for playing or listening to things, but also need low latency for gaming while remaining wireless. This fits all those need. Pros + Comfy and good fit. Remain comfy for long wearing time. + Excellent noise canceling and very, very good ambient mode + When paired to BT and PC, can seamlessly play both sources overlapping. + Sound quality very good. Full mids, crisp highs, not overwhelming bass. + Mic movement to mute/unmute works great + Spatial sound seems to work well. In specifically MW 2019 on PC, can hear locations of steps and fire clearly and cleanly. Might be the newness effect, but it does feel much better than my previous cheap headphones. Cons - Definitely look goofy/big. Like an air traffic controller. Probably not great to wear in public as headphones. - Software still iffy. EQ control doesn't seem to do anything, but everything else does. - Expensive. I had very specific needs and didn't really see anything that fit them all. For those without all those needs, cheaper options may be better. Overall Very pleased. For my needs, nothing ticks all of the boxes as well as this does. It's a great combination of "good headphones" and "good gaming headset", which often don't have as much overlap. I was literally about to buy the Sony XM5s until I saw this announcement. At $100 cheaper than those, with what appears to be nearly equal audio performance (maybe not quite as good bass and definitely not as professional looking) and the dedicated high speed wireless USB connection (so I don't have to rely on lag BT or tethered 3.5mm cord) it seemed like a great deal. Love them. UPDATE a few days later: The INZONE Hub software EQ flat out does not work, which is why I got mediocre bass (but still amazing mids and highs). The default flat EQ just feels lifeless in the bass. On, PC, I found and am using a free third party EQ app (Equalizer APO Peace). Now, these sound INSANELY GOOD. Smooth crisp mids and highs remain, but now has the thick and punchy life in the lows as well. It's clean and smooth, so long as you EQ reasonably. I used one of the headphone presets and tweaked accordingly. Cranking the 80-120hz range too much CAN start distorting and muffling vocals and other mids, but it has definitely come alive with some good EQ. I hope the first party software gets fixed soon.

I bought this for my PS5, unsure how well it preforms on other devices. The audio quality is pretty good but the mic quality is not good (according to the people I play with on PS5). I am writing this review because after having this headset for less than a year the microphone is now making a bunch of crackly noises when ever I lift it and lower it to mute. This is especially bad because on PS5 that is the only way to mute, the mute button on the controller does not work with the headset. Overall, not worth the money in my opinion. Such a shame.

4 months and still work great for PlayStation, blocks outside noise well, syncs up quickly and are comfortable for long periods

O produto é muito bom e confortável e com um áudio incrível, a única coisa que não entendi é eu ter comprado um fone branco e a loja me enviar um preto , pra eles me parece indiferente mas pra eu que gastei 2,200 reais gostaria de ter recebido a cor que comprei no mínimo

Bought from the warehouse deal and the only thing missing was the outer box. It was just in blue tooth mode so I just needed to switch it off!!

Antes de estos audífonos 🎧 había comprado y gastado mucho en audífonos desde los genéricos chinos, pasando por chicharo de Sony y hasta unos Astro A10. Y ninguno de los anteriores me había dejado contento hasta estos. Gaste mucho dinero 💸 antes de llegar a estos. Cuando compré estos no sabía qué esperar pero fueron una grata sorpresa 😮 😄. La cancelación de ruido es buena en verano no escucho el ventilador que me pongo para jugar, y en general no escucho ruidos externos que me molesten si activo la cancelación de ruido al 💯, puedes activar la cancelación de ruido parcial para medio escuchar algunas cosas, mi micrófono 🎤 se escucha bien dicen que puede ser excelente pero en las repeticiones de partidas guardadas yo lo escucho bien 👍🏽, el sonido 360 en videojuegos 🎮 de historia te hace ser inmersivo, le duran un buen la pila 🔋, y en general tiene muchas funciones súper gamer subiendo el micro 🎙️ lo cancelas, puedes subir o bajar el volumen del juego o del chat 💬 para escuchar más una u otra, se escuchan súper fuerte y les puedes subir yo casi nunca los escucho al 💯 etc. Lo que sí es que si son algo caros 💵 y me espanto porque si los volviera a tener que comprar si son un gasto 😬 una inversión a largo plaza llevo 6 meses con ellos ya casi el año y no han dado lata de nada. Si los volviera a comprar buscaría ofertas.

the Sony inzone h9 headset are perfect! The h9's have a premium feel to them which is something the Sony pulse 3d headset lacked. The ear cups are extremely comfortable when gaming for hours. When noise cancellation is turned on, I can barely hear any background noise. Connecting to my laptop/phone is a breeze via bluetooth. The h9's are a bit pricey but in my opinion are definitely worth it. This is a premium headset.
