Product Reviews

I bought these headphones 1 year ago and I can honestly say these headphones are fantastic! Extremely comfortable and in fact deliver sound quality. While I play Black Ops 6, I have my headphones connected to my Bluetooth on my XPERIA 1V. I highly recommend these headphones to anyone! I just downloaded the software to utilize the headset with my Laptop. Awesome software! The cushions on the headphones are GREAT QUALITY! I wipe mines down every now and then with Antibacterial Pledge Multisurface Cleaner Spray. Plus they look Fly!

Everything about these are perfect but I hate how you can’t mute them unless you physically put the mic down

Had for about 1 year now, super headset, highly recommend

Excellent noise cancelling and the worst sound quality. I have bought it for play games and listen to music. Sometimes sound is freezing when I play on my Playstation 5 and when listen to music on my PC. It is very disappointed purchase.

A friend suggested I bought these, and I'm so glad I did. They cover my ears completely, are comfortable and have a good loud volume and bass. I also like that you can lift the boom mike up to mute yourself.

Initially I like the H9's. The 3D sound quality was great and the noise cancelling was acceptable. However, after less than a year of use, the foam part of the headset began to separate from the frame. After a while it came all the way off making the headset very uncomfortable. Also, on PC the INzone software would not sync so I there is no way I can adjust the settings. And at a $300 price tag these problems should NOT exist! I definitely would not recommend.

Bought for the PS5 but has become my PC headset too. Great quality sound, but also very comfortable even with my big head and glasses on.

Brilliant fit for my big head and comfortable to wear, sound quality is very good and fits well on my big ears.

Bought these a few days ago never owned a expensive headset but did jot know what I was missing. Great sound and quality, and the noise canceling waw

Just bought these headphones, they are almost everything I could want with a head phone Pros: sounds excellent, comfortable, noise cancelling works great, connects to my phone and to my PC. So in between games I can watch videos and it plays thru the headset. Cons: the mic is trash. It works but I get complaints from other players that my voice is hard to make out and it blends the words together. Compared to my older headset the group I regularly play with tell me that I am hard to listen too now. I have tried playing around with mic settings with no change. I did see that there were other people complaining about the same issue online. If I don't eat it resolved I will more than likely return the headset because this is a deal breaker.

The H9 haha well I’ve had these headphones for about to be a year in a month or two and I’ve had to exchange them about to be three times. The two times had to be the headband thing it kept coming off. Now the mic isn’t working properly. The headphones work good as far as hearing things it’s just the cosmetic things that sucks in my opinion. Man I’m hoping they fix these headphones.

The anc is alot better than the arctis pro wireless..sound quality and build quality not as good but it's still more than good enough for gaming. I sent my arctis back in favour of these just for then anc alone. My only negative really is your head can get a little sore over long periods as the headband cushion is very soft

Don not attempt to update using INZONE hub... The update process will brick the dongle

I bought this headset Sony INZONE H9 Noise Cancelling Wireless Gaming Headset 4 months ago Pro : Good sound, noise cancelling and mic Amazing conectiviti (u can have your phone PS5 or PC conected at the same time and works amazing. Great battery 100%. Very confortable to wear them even for period long time Con: They dont look that premium for the price you pay (the balck ones looks cooler) Custumer Service and warrnty is wortless = 0 = nada. Leather coming away from headband, not covered under warranty repair as it’s deemed physical damage.All I did was wear it on my head for a couple of hours in the evenings… 4 months in and it fails… and to add insult Sony want to charge insane amount of money for their manufacture problem. 42 £/h. For this reason, I do not recommend them to anyone. better with another brand, less prestige, cheaper, and less hassle. Will be my last product from Sony. Good luck!

Got to say these headphones are fantastic. Don’t feel heavy even after gaming for a few hours. Battery lasts ages and the sound is very impressive! Hear every footstep around you.

Sound and noise cancelling performance is nice but, my god, Sony, why is there no native PS5 app when it's one of the headline features? Having to find and use a PC to customise the EQ and other settings is an oversight. Also, the notification sounds (turning off and on) sound like a broken stylophone. Why is there no announcer lady like on my Sony XM5 headphones? The comfort, sound and noise cancelling performance are all top tier (once you can set them up, using a PC). I paid about £100 for these. If I'd have paid full price (£269) then I would be livid at these rough edges. MAKE A NATIVE PS5 APP YOU DUMBOS

Bought these headphones but the leather on the headband came apart many people have been having this problem and I mean a lot of people love the headphones but man the headband will come apart be aware

I bought these to use with a PS5 and a PSVR2. The audio quality is a significant improvement on the ear buds that are supplied with the PSVR2, especially with the 3D effect which is quite convincing. I can where them comfortably for a long time. The only thing that stops me from giving it 5 stars is the price. There are other options for cheaper that give the same comfort and audio quality. Still a recommended set of headphones for my usage, and I'm happy that I went with them over the competition..

I bought these head phones 7 months ago. love the sound quality and mic. but the soft cushion and leather part has come apart. I hate to tape it to keep it on. but other than that I use it almost daily.

DO NOT SPEND £300 on a pair of headphones with a known design flaw which Sony do not accept as a reason for return. These need a full redesign to improve the quality of the headband, as getting a new set kicks the issue further into the future. I am extremely disappointed that the headband foam fell off within months and there is no recourse from Sony to accept the issue.

The sound quality is really good, the 360 sound is noticeable at first but not once you’re used to it, is really good for gaming. The duel sound between dongle and Bluetooth connected to 2 different devices works well no issues Super light so comfy for long time wear, I had no issue wearing these for 8 hours straight the ear pads are really nice and comfy The sound profile scan of your ears - I’m not sure exactly what it changes or does as I didn’t notice anything drastic. Hard to tell when it’s low battery until it’s near death but they charge quickly. There are no mic settings, so it tends to pick up external sound sometimes or other sounds that you can filter out with other headsets. Mic Quality is pretty good from what my friends say A bit bigger than some other headsets but smaller than others but fine when sitting gaming just don’t bend over dramatically

I have only had this item a few weeks. Quite bulky & heavier than I would like however quite comfortable up to about 30-40mins then ears / head gets hot and uncomfortable. Sound quality is good, handy noise cancelling which reduces other noise distractions. Overall build quality is plasticky and does not feel premium however quite a solid unit just a bit too bulky.

Was so excited to try out got home opened it set up to my ps5 and only one side worked even hooked up to my pc to update nothing trying resetting nothing sad day

I bought this a month ago, I cant begin to tell you how much I love the surround sound quality, even though it is not a music headphone, it is exceptionally good with the stereo and surround sound. Treble and bass are excellent as well, overall it is a well spent product for dual uses, if you are using for music, gaming and even conference calls. Last but not the least, I love the colours of the headphone, very PS5. Iconic look ;)

I was very skeptical buying this headset but found myself enjoying the headset fast with its dual audio input and easy to use features also the comfort of the earmuffs. The only set back is i wish they had a better battery life.

The headphone sounds great and is perfect for positioning in gaming. Spatial audio feature kinda works better when it's not on, and sound was not as good for music/videos as I hoped it would be. I wish it had aux in and for the mic arm to be removable. That would've made it the perfect headphone for both gaming and daily. Mic is already crackling after less than half a year of use, so it's dissappointing for the money I paid for it.

Bought a month ago, fell in love immediately. Noise cancellation is perfect, the hub is great to make the EQ perfect, and the compatibility between PS5 and PC is awesome too. Sony adding their perfect sound quality to a gaming headset is just what was needed.

This product worked pretty good up unti last week. The audio works perfectly fine but the cushion and fabric that kept it in place has torn completely off. I've never had this issue before. It just sort of came out a random day and I tried to keep it together for a little while, but now I can't use them anymore. Otherwise, the audio quality is fantastic and the noise cancellation is pretty solid. I've had them since July. I hope to get a replacement.

This headset is amazing, you can totally block out the sound around you for a more emersive experience. A bit on the expensive side but worth the money. You can alter sound settings easily on the app to further enhance your experience. I've never owned such a superior headset until now. Easy to use and to connect, fantastic battery life. Clear, crisp and microphone quality is amazing! Overall best thing I've purchased for my ps5!!!

Compared to 3d pulse headset which is good these are an improvement obviously considering price differance. They are more comfortable and feel lighter on the head. There is a notice improvement in sound quality and 3D audio. I do like these so if your happy to pay the price I'd say go for it. Also gave them a go on my PC and the inzone app give's you much more choice in tweaking the sound to your liking but unfortunately this doesn't carry over to PS5.

But this is my second pair since December 18th 2022 that I received the first one. And they started having some static sound “which is really annoying”. I send them back to Sony and they would send me a new one which they started to have the same issue. I’ve tried everything to see what is the problem but nothing seems to be it, they just keep the static noises while playing.

If you're buying this headset for PS5 you can't update it unless you have a Computer

I bought this recently and whilst the actual headset is great and I love the ANC the build quality is poor especially for a premium cost product. I have had the headset for a couple of months and already the material covering the foam on the headband has come away. This appears to be a common problem judging by other reviews I have read

I bought these when they released and for 5 months of general usage this was great the discord chat function working like a charm. Then, overnight the headband became undone. Effectively stopping usage completely.

I bought the H9 close to when it released in the US, and it was amazing. The audio quality is pretty good and the features are even better. Problem is that the synthetic leather is NOT made to last. The leather keeping my headrest in place came off less than 3 months after purchase, and only moderate use. I called Sony support for a warranty replacement as this absolutely should not have happened only to be told that it is considered normal wear-and-tear and that they would not be providing me any help whatsoever. I was, however, invited to repurchase so that I didn't have plastic claws gouging my skull. Instead I bought some double-sided tape, rubber bands, and paper clips, and MacGuyver'd it to a place wherein it is once again wearable.

I bought this item in July and it was replacing my older Bluetooth headset that was gifted to my brother, as an owner of the WH-1000MX4's I thought these would have the same quality of build and yeah I was impressed with the sound, the Bluetooth was clear, at first the microphone was not great but after the update to the headset, this has improved. The Dual Bluetooth is an awesome feature for keeping tabs on my mobile notifications or use my tablet as another screen to watch YouTube while on my PC. I own a PS5 so the design is closely related to that and looks really clean, the LED rings are good but you cannot see them while wearing so are kind of pointless to a normal user. The major downside for these is the headband, it does not have wrap around material like the XM4's, it is glued by the manufacturer to the plastic band at the top and after normal use, this has come away and is currently going through the repair, very disappointed with this part, hence the reason for the rating, this is not the quality I come to expect.

Noise canceling is okay I guess but doesn't really do much, but the sound is amazing and it matches my ps5 pretty good.

Bought the new H9 for SIM racing in the man cave that happens to be a conservatory and with the rain making the room noise I need the support of noise cancelling that I didn't have on my Steel Series headphones - and the the noise cancelling is great making such a difference.

This headphones are great but if you let it drop...forget about it. You can find better quality headphones for the same price or less. If you buy this you're just paying "the sony tax".

I brought this headset to be used with my ps5 after my pulse headset started to die. Sound wise this headset is great, the quality is amazing. I can also connect to both my phone and my ps5 at the same time which is pretty cool. The only downside I've had so far is the mic quality. After I changed headset all my friends online said the quality was trash. I don't know if there's a way to change this, I have had a look at the sensitivity setting with no luck

These are by far the best gaming headphones I have ever had. Sound is crystal clear and sounds have depth as if coming from the room and not on your ear. Headphones are completely wireless and battery lasts What feels like eternity! Headset has great volume control, but loudness is not needed with the noise cancelling ear cushions. Comfortability of the headset is also 5 stars from the first time I wore them to the 100th time.

There is so much versatility with the Inzone H9 headset. Between the Bluetooth connection and the USB dongle you can even connect to multiple devices at the same time. Overall, there is definitely above average sound quality. The 360 degree sound gives a major step up on combat games. The ability to hear exactly which direction footsteps are coming from are phenomenal. Battery life is pretty good, around 30 hours on a single charge.

The Sony INZONE H9 Wireless Gaming Headset is great! The headset was already charged and ready to use right out of the box! The headset synced effortlessly! The sound quality is phenomenal and the noise-canceling feature is effective. My teenage son has since taken the headset to use for gaming as well as playing his piano and is incredibly happy with the quality of this headset!!

These headphones are very sleek and stylish. I really like the modern look of these headsets compared with others. I am not an audiophile, but I do think the sound quality was pretty good. The average gamer should be overall happy with them. The battery is good and lasts a long time, with the option to use them while plugged in and charging. One of my favorite features is the ability to raise the microphone to mute.

Very comfortable, good quality audio, looks nice and matches the rest of my Sony products.

So immersive and the sound is out of this world. The headphones are large but extremely comfortable and able to really produce life-like sounds in games. Playing 1st person shooters is a breeze when you can hear every footstep and distinguish on which floor and direction they are coming from. 10/10!

H9 Inzone Gaming Headset Worth Buying? Inzone are Sony’s foray into the high-end sector of gaming headsets, and while they are targeted at PC & PS5 personally I think their main audience is going to be PS5 gamers like myself. My review is solely based on PS5 use not PC. The H9 model is the top end of the Inzone gaming headset range and for the extra cost you get Sony’s noise cancelling/ambient sound technology. But is it worth paying out extra for them? Packaging in all new branding for this the outside of the box looks good it’s bold and colourful but inside the box its your usual headset set up and honestly they’ve missed a point by not at least supplying a dust bag to keep them in. Build quality and yes it’s all made of plastic and only available in one colour but its good quality plastic, tough and durable and that’s a good thing because it keeps the weight down. They feel solid and well built with the soft leatherette ear cups and adjustable headband for a comfortable fit that allows players to use them for hours at a time. Yes the ear cups are big but fit well and even with my small head and ears they sit comfortable and honestly you don’t feel they are there and they don’t move around or are uncomfortable at all. I love the pivoting and swivel hinges on the cups allowing them to sit flat when not in use either on your neck or on a table surface, wish they had done this with the 3D Pulse headphones. The LED lights by the hinges are a nice touch; they are white when connected to your wireless dongle and blue when connecting via Bluetooth. The microphone is a bit on the big size but doesn’t get in the way when either in use or pushed up out of the way and again its reasonably well made and solid with a little bit of pliability to allow you to move it towards your mouth when in use and yes I know its not removable but for me that’s not an issue. And the flip to mute makes life so much easier and you have the added click sound to know when it’s off. Controls on the cups are well placed, solid and are not intrusive apart from the volume wheel, which is more prominent to make life easier. So on the left side is the volume control wheel, which is a great idea it’s easy to reach and works well, then on the same side is the noise cancelling and ambient sound button and everyone knows how good this works on Sony’s headphones and this is no exception it works very well on these. Finally on the left side is the USB C charging port and the microphone is also situated on the left side cup. On the right side is the power button, the game and chat button and the Bluetooth button and while where mentioning the Bluetooth button I have got to say well done Sony for allowing me to connect these headphones to other Bluetooth devices and the ones I have tried have connected without any issues. Sound quality is what you would expect from Sony I have had no issues while gaming or using it to listen to music or making calls the controls for volume and noise cancelling are quick to respond with no distortion or dropouts. And the microphone is crisp and clear while either gaming or on phone calls. The easy to reach volume wheel make life easier to quickly adjust the volume especially while gaming if things get a little hectic and loud. The ANC works great especially while making and receiving calls and if you are gaming with other external noise in the background and the quick on and off button access allows seamless interaction with anyone when required. Battery life is pretty good at 32 hours although I have been getting just under 30 hours which is pretty decent, the only down side is no low battery indicator on the headset and once onscreen its just a guesstimate of what is left a proper battery percentage would be much more preferable. So to answer the question are they worth the cost? If money is no object to afford them then yes they are but me personally I would go for the H7 version you get nearly all the same benefits bar the ANC the build quality is pretty much the same apart from cloth instead of leatherette head band & ear cups. No difference with the sound quality and the battery life is better due to the lack of ANC capability. So it all comes down to personal choice and what you would prefer from your headset and what else you might use them for, battery life over ANC? Saying all that it’s a good first attempt at the high end gaming headset market for Sony and we know they never get it 100% right the first time so lets see what the future brings and the tweaks they will apply for their next generation and hopefully a selection of colour choices rather than just white?

Purchased the Inzone H9 headphones around a fortnight ago. To be honest, I was expecting them to be of superior sound quality, based on Sony's marketing and reviews I read online, hence the purchase. But now I own them I can only give them a "GOOD +" rating and not a 5 star rating. I own a PS5 and connecting them to the unit was simplicity itself. I also paired them to my Sony tv. Again, there were not any issues with that either. Getting back to the sound quality. I was expecting the headphones to deliver a real great quality sound after connecting them to the PS5 and playing Horizon Forbidden West. Instead, I though at times, it delivered a flat base and the dialogue was also muffled (maybe it is my hearing). The noise cancelling works very well. I purchased these specifically for my PS5 and not for gaming on a PC, where you can download an APP to fine tune the sound to your own liking. But it is not transferable back to the PS5 when have done that. I can only say that I would not recommend these, as can only base the rating on my own experience.

My son is a gamer and he absolutely loves this noise canceling wireless headset. He says they are super comfortable and work great on his computer and game console. He can hear everything going on in the games very well and his buddies can hear him very well too!

Although I can't play every day, I like to do it and feel comfortable with the electronics I use. These headphones exceeded my expectations of reality, they are super comfortable thanks to their pads in the area of ​​​​the ears and the head, which allows them to be used for several hours without discomfort. The sound quality is very clear, it isolates external noises, the chat conversations are heard super well and best of all, the sound effects of the games with these headphones make you really feel that everything is happening live. The buttons are handy and the volume can be easily controlled with a wheel. The charger cable is quite long and the charge has lasted me up to 24 hours. The package includes a USB writer. I love it and my nephews want to buy the same ones since it is worth every penny for the quality of the product.

My first impression of the INZONE H9 Wireless Noise Canceling Gaming Headset was that it sounded like I was in a movie theater. The gameplay sound was absolutely incredible. The noise canceling works well, I could not hear my fingers snapping or light clapping when I was listening to music. I love that the USB has the option to switch between PC and PS5. I also love how comfortable the headset is. They are sufficiently adjustable and feel good on my ears and head. Great headset!

The INZONE H9 Wireless Noise Canceling Gaming Headset are awsome as can be. They're easy to set up, the hub is also easy to use. I like how comfortable they are The sound is out of this world, it's very immeresive. The one issue I don't like is that you can't remove the microphone from the headset

The Sony Inzone H9 gaming headset works great at providing a simulated surround sound experience during game play and watching videos on my computer or phone. The headset is lightweight and very comfortable, though my ears do sweat with prolonged use. The battery stays charged for days at a time (for me) before needing to be recharged. I really love the dual connection I get with the Sony Inzone H9 gaming headset. Being able to answer phone calls (or even listening to music while also using the mic to record just my voice) is fantastic. The mic works great for me, and incoming calls and audio are crisp and clear. As for the noise cancellation on the headset, it does not work as well as I would like. They cancel out some of the background noise but not all of it. I can still hear the television clearly or people talking unless I turn the volume up near max. I would recommend this gaming headset to anyone who wants a great headset that’s also comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Ive been wanting a high tech headset, the Sony Inzone h9 has so many cool features i like to use while playing. I have toddlers and nephews running around a lot and these headphones actually blocked out that noise! Another cool features is the private game room chat room at a touch of a button. I use this headset on my PS5 and it works great, I really appreciate the wireless design and incredibly long lasting battery. The mic is also very durable and everyone can hear me. I definitely recommend this to any gamer.

Sony's INZONE H9 Wireless headset is a great headset for all aspects of gaming and computer usage. It fits really well, and comfortable. Hugs the ears nicely without being too tight. The design is to be able to hear even the smallest noises first so you can react accordingly during missions. It has an ambient mode as well that allows you to hear a phone call or someone speaking to you. It's a well made, well working headset.

Wet nice. Fits well and easy to adjust. Sound is very clear and the noise canceling allows for total focus on my gaming, movie or music.

I got my son this headset for gaming, but I've taken it over I like it that much. Audio quality is really top notch without much lag at all when playing FPS games. The microphone is clear and nobody has any issues understanding what I'm saying during the heat of combat. I would recommend these INZONE H9 headphones to someone wanting clear wireless and noise canceling so they can tune out the outside world.

These headsets are very comfortable and light. The microphone sound quality is great. Noise cancellation is exceptional. You can pair to a Bluetooth device while using them to play to listen music in the background. Sound quality is great.

Very comfortable and great noise canceling. Compatible with multiple platforms

I never want to use headphones because they are usually too tight and too uncomfortable, but these Sonys are plush and supple, and not too tight. I was surprised at how soft and bouncy the earphone pads are, they are just as soft as marshmallows! I loved that the microphone is on a riostat, so I can push it out of the way when I'm just listening to music while doing chores. For me, these headphones are a game-changer for gaming, not just because these are so comfy- the sound quality is incredible- they can create a beautiful immersive experience. Plus, they are astonishingly fast, which gives me a crazy advantage in multi-player games. All in all, a super high quality pair of headphones that are comfortable, sensitive, lightweight, and modern. Would recommend to any gamer or streamer, or anyone who wants a plush headset.

I'm really torn about these headphones. In some respects I'm blown away and in a few others I'm left wanting. Pros: I'm floored by how good these phones sound with electronic music. I had been using them to listen to podcasts and obviously to game but then I decided I wanted to try listening to music on them. I listen to a lot of EBM and synthpop and these phones just kill it for those specific genres. They seem to overemphasize the bass and the high range at the same time. Perfect for this type of music. I can literally feel chills run down my spine when using them. Mic clarity is really good. Better than any other mic'ed set I've used in the past. Not a lot of the normal noise while talking. My son says he can hear me very clearly without a lot of background sounds. I feel a lot more in sync with a game's atmospheric sound using these phones over my other set. It literally feels more 3D to me while playing. They are incredibly comfortable to wear. I've been wearing them for hours and my ears haven't felt hot (I'm a big sweaty dude, so it's normal for my ears to get hot when I've got over-the-ear phones on). Lots of phones are small on me. These aren't. The headphone earpieces twist to fit your head, but also will twist flat for storage. I feel this keeps them safer when they're charging or just sitting on the entertainment center. The ANR is decent. I'm not really a big noise reduction fan, so I'm not going to comment on that much. I do notice it but it's not something that I pay a lot of attention to normally I LOVE that the volume control is a physical wheel. Amidst all the other buttons, it's easy to pick out by touch and adjustable on the fly. It is killer that I can listen to a podcast while playing with my kiddos on Fortnite or whatever....and they DON'T EVEN KNOW!!! Hahahah. It's also cool that I can answer the phone while I'm gaming. This is a feature I never knew I needed but I'm sure I'll never be able to live without it again. Cons: I really can't stand the styling/design. While I think the PS5 may be a design achievement I feel really silly wearing this set. It feels really big and 'bubbly.' It would be really cool if they offered them in black maybe as well? My teenager snickers at me when I wear them, so I could just be overly sensitive? :P My head is BIG, and I still feel like these are 'bulgy.' That said, they do look nice next to my black and white DualSense controller and a PS5...so... Build quality might be absolutely stellar, but you're never going to sell me on build quality when just about everything is plastic. The light weight makes these phones incredibly comfortable, but I feel like they're lacking in robustness. This may very well be purely psychological but I'm going to note it here. I don't know how one would 'fix' this but I really dislike how if I want to use these for something other than the PS5 or PC or whatever, I've got to pull the dongle from the machine. I'd love it if it had a separate setting for non gaming uses? Might be asking a lot from a product that's literally sold to be a gaming device. All in all they're a beautiful product. Try them out if you can. The sound is amazing.

My husband plays a lot of video games and so I got him these head phones and he loves them! It may seem over the top but I have used them a few times while on Zoom calls for work as well and they work perfect. We have small kids and they cancel out all the noise so we can focus on what we are hearing through the headphones. The sound quality is great and the microphone has worked well without any issues. They are very well made and seem durable. We will use these everyday. I highly recommend them!
