I have tested these briefly (~1hr) on both PC and PS5. Packaging: Is fairly eco-friendly, with minimal unnecessary plastics. Can be broken down for recycling with paper products. Dongle: The USB dongle is needed for both PC and PS5. I had assumed you wouldn't need the dongle on PS5 because it would handle transmission via Bluetooth, but I'm assuming they could get better audio quality/bandwidth with the dongle vs Bluetooth. So you will need to dongle it up. On the plus side, the end of the dongle glows with a little white circle which is kind of cool. Have I said dongle enough yet? If not... dongle. I have not tested the microphone. I do not have any friends. Nobody's fault but my own. Aesthetically, these seem similar to the Sony XM5s. The headband seems thicker with more cushion, based on screenshots. I don't have the XM5s because my XM4s are like 7 months old and I don't want to dive in for the incremental upgrades. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) fits in with the Sony gold standard, though it does drop your wireless time from 32 or whatever to 20 hours (I obviously haven't tested the real world times yet). If you don't have a noisy environment, you can leave ANC disabled, as these are closed back cans and in my quick tests don't bleed in a ton of external audio. In a comparison with the also recently purchased Arctis Nova Pro set, I find these a little more comfortable, and while the Arctis has very precise audio, the Sony set feels both precise, and more robust. Tested for audio positioning on Returnal and general good times on Hollow Knight. I'd rank the Sony on top on both. If you were looking for the best set for Hi-Res audio... don't be fooled, you want all different headphones and equipment. Don't get suckered into crossover tech. The one and only complaint of any sincerity I would have with this set is they are BIG. Understand in my 'for comparison' photos, the banana is LARGE. I feel like I should be standing there flagging in aircraft for a safe landing when wearing these. That said, these are, again, a pretty light headset. So you do not need to learn semaphore signaling to don this gear. So yeah, unless the audio quality on the mic turns out to suck pretty bad, these are the best you can get for PS5 at the moment, and probably at least a tie for PC.

Picked up the Sony Inzone H9 as an open box item, and honestly, I was a little nervous at first. The box was torn in a few places. But once I opened it up... wow. The headset was completely untouched. No scratches, no wear — looked and felt brand new! Now let’s talk about performance: Designed for Gamers – Spatial sound is super immersive. I can pinpoint footsteps and gunfire direction in competitive games. Active Noise Cancellation – Works shockingly well, even for a gaming headset. Blocks out background noise like a champ. Extreme Comfort – Soft, plush ear cups and lightweight design make it easy to wear for hours without pressure or sweat. Long Battery Life – Easily gets me through multiple sessions without needing a recharge. Customizable with Inzone Hub – Tons of options to fine-tune sound profiles, mic sensitivity, and more. But it doesn't carry over to the PS5. Seamless Switching – Works great with both my PC and PS5 — super easy to jump between platforms. Bottom line: if you're on the fence about the open box deal, don’t be. The headset inside was flawless, and you're getting a premium headset for less. Total win!

I didn’t know I needed a gaming headset until my buddy recommended these to me. First off it’s super easy to set up with either PS5 or PC with custom preferred sound settings. Sound quality is amazing. It’s comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions. You can use these with your phone or tablet. I use it to talk on the phone since it has amazing mic quality. I also changed the ear pads to a retro 90s theme throwback off white and it pairs well with the white or black color. Once I saw them drop in price I couldn’t snag them fast enough…also with the ambient noise cancellation works very well. If you are on the phone. Or playing on the game and you’re using the mic you can flip the mic up and it automatically mute.

I gave them a try, i really like the form fit and the mic how it mutes when lifted, i was using the older 3d audio phones but didn’t like how the cups were round and they hurt my ears after a while. These have been much better

We are delighted that you chose the INZONE H9 and are experiencing much better comfort compared to your older headset. We specifically designed the H9 earcups and headband for long gaming sessions, so it's rewarding to hear that the form fit is significantly more comfortable for you.

I really love this product, I like how it sounds really good how I can change the settings without having to go on my console settings so I can hear the game more then the chat, I love how it feels on my ears, I really like that I can also connect to my phone while it’s connected to my consul, I really really love how they last so long without dying and it doesn’t even take that long to charge them. it became every day use since the day I got them.

My old headset used to weigh more and after a while wiuld bother my ears. With the endzone heapdphones that was ni longer a problem. The sound is better than the last few sets I used and the noise cancellation, well I can’t hear my girlfriend ms netflix shows playing in the background. Microphone is great but not detachable, which coukd be a good thing if you dealtach and lose them like I use to.

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.

[Employee of bestbuy] 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!!!

Battery life is top notch. The only bad thing I would say is the sweat from the actual ear part, but that only happens when it's really hot. Can't hear my loud kids when I turn on noise cancelling so I'll take the war sweat

This headset is a keeper! I had an issue with my laptop volume and every one complains when I am in zoom calls. The set up was easy. I didn't need to call IT dept to install software just plug and ready to use. It noise cancellation headphones and blocked outside noise.
Review Posted
They fit really well and look like they are modeled after Sonys xm5, noise cancelling feature is spot on, in addition you can dual sync your playstation 5 and your cell phone to listen to music or pick up phone calls without having to sacrifice one for the other..,......I dont know why they're have been bad microphone reviews on this, its not the sharpest mic. But it works really well like my older gaming bose quietcomfort 35ii did and the mic. On that was highly rated. Hope this helps.

I was contemplating whether to get the Pulse 3D for my PS5 and another budget PC headset for well, PC gaming. But then I thought hey why not get just one for both. Inzone H9 was of course the top choice but I was very hesitant at first due to its price. Now, after having played with it for a couple of hours, all I can say is that it was so worth it! If you can, get it on Black Friday to save a few more bucks!
