Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am a fan of Sony, so when I saw this, I knew I wanted to try them! I am yet to get my hands on a PS5, so I tried this with my PC gaming set up. Keep in mind, these are the most affordable gaming headsets from Sony’s INZONE line up. 5/5 – Price Nowadays, gaming headphones can get very expensive, but these are just right for the casual gamer who is not trying to compete on weekend tournaments. Personally, I wouldn’t pay $300 for gaming headphones, so these are on my budget. 3/5 – Unboxing Experience Nothing especial here and not really the reason why you are buying the headphones, but I always appreciate when the unboxing experience sets the tone. 4/5 – Built Quality Hard plastic headphones and they feel sturdy, but I just wish they felt a little more rugged. 5/5 – Comfortability Head cushion around the band. I have an average size head, so I didn’t move the band, but it can be made bigger or smaller to adjust to different sizes. Did a gaming session for about 2.5 hours and did not bug me one bit. 4/5 – Sound The sound is amazing for the $100 price point. I won’t give it a 5 because that’s usually the case with headphones that are on the $250 price point, but these are great. I played some Warzone, Horizon, and FIFA, and they met my expectations no doubt. Microphone sounds good too. 5/5 – Software Easy to navigate and able to adjust EQ to work on better on specific games. Sound personalization feature works good too.

Sony nails the wired format with PS5 styling and excellent audio quality in an affordable wired headset. I've tried this headset with the PS5 as well as with Nintendo Switch consoles, as well as with my gaming PC and I was not disappointed on any front. On the PC side, I was able to also test the virtual surround with the included DAC and found this to work as well as any virtual surround I've used, with deep clear sound and good feedback from others about my microphone quality on both analog and digital use cases. The headset is bulky, and resembles safety headsets worn in construction or the headsets worn by helicopter pilots - I would have liked to see Sony use a thinner earcup like some competitors but I think this translates to better over-ear comfort and better headband fit for larger heads, as well as better microphone positioning as well as audio quality and a unique design that fits right in with my PS5 kit. All in all I'd reccomend these to anyone looking for a premium wired experience who might like the black and white Sony aesthetic.

In true Sony fashion the biggest standout is the actual audio quality of these headset. What I mean by that, is that you want a product to perform well in what matters most, you want your tv’s to have excellent video quality, speakers and in this review headphones to have excellent audio quality. Sony I will say achieved that with these headphones, but we’ll come back to that. Right off the bat I noticed how comfortable these are. There is a roughly ¾” padding for your ears that snuggles your ears quite nicely (see photo). Now I’m partial to the material the padding is made up, seems like it will last and has a great cooling effect. That will help your head and ears from sweating, when you’re in the middle of a late night gaming bender for 3 hours! I’m bald, so it’s a nice snug fit and doesn’t slide around too much. This might have a negative effect for someone with a lot of fine hair, might slide all over creation. The interior of the padding however, worries me. (see photo with pen pointing to it. I once owned a pair of headphones in this style, that the entire padding was what appears to be made of the same material this internal lining is made of. I say worried because after a couple years, it started peeling off in chunks like cheap faux leather does over time. I could be 100% wrong, just thought I should note it. Time will be the tell all for my concerns regarding that. Been told I have a rather large noggin, so I will note that these have awesome girth capabilities, more than enough room! Love how the R for right is red (see photo), and the L is very noticeable too. Most headphones I’ve owned, the microphone is on the left side like this set, but there’s nothing worse than turning over a pair of headphones in your hands looking for the stupid R & L indicators. Not the case with these, thank you Sony. (It’s the little things Jimmy) The volume dial on the left ear piece is perfectly placed, and very functional, easy to reach up and adjust at a seconds notice. (when you’re wife is yelling at you cuz you let time get away from you and you’ve been playing for 3 hours, you can turn it down and answer her). My one concern with these being wired, was squished, when I saw there is a breakaway connection in the cord.. Never fails when you need a bathroom break or you stand up and forget there’s a wire there, WHOOPS. With these headphones, they should disconnect if that happens and protect the headphone connection, as well as the USB connection on your PC. Getting back to the beginning of my review and why these truly shine, the audio is magnificent. I wore them extra during an 8 hour session of working from home, and especially with Teams, voice quality is like the person is right next to you, During gaming, WOWZA, no distortion if you crank it up! So whether you’re trying to drown out your wife who has been yelling at you to get off the game, or….wait, I don’t do that, who said that, oh yeah I did. Honestly it’s so that I can enjoy the game audio, Idk what I was insinuating before. The audio quality is truly outstanding, and after hours of usage I was not left with a sweaty head! Great buy, and nice job Sony! I think these are built to last! 4 out of 5 stars only because they’re not wireless.

Microphone sounds very muffled. Not impressed at all. I would buy the pulse 3D headset instead.

I picked these up to try out with my PS5 to play games at night after my kids have gone to sleep. Our upstairs media room is not too far away from the kids's bedrooms and my wife required a headset for late night gaming now that school has started up again. Although I typically tend towards wireless headsets, I do like wired ones for gaming because there's no lag or loss. I've tried another wireless BT headset for my PS5, but it required an additional dongle to work since Sony is apparently pretty stingy with allowing BT devices to connect. At least with these, I can plug the line right into the controller. Because they're wired, they're actually lighter in terms of weight than my other BT headset is - which means I can play longer without feeling the weight of the headset's band on the top of my head. There's a volume control rocker on the left headphone, it came out of the box cranked all the way up. Now, I'm not sure if it's because I'm getting older or what, but I leave it cranked all the way up and the sound that I get is really impressive. I've tested them out with Doom Eternal and Bloodborne on my PS5 and the amount of ambient background noise, sound effects, and music that I was missing before is really impressive. I pretty much use these now all the time when I play my PS5 because it has the added benefit of not being able to hear when my wife yells at me to get off the PS5. There's also a USB adapter that comes with it if you want to use this with a PC, or use the Sony INZONE app. I personally can't speak to this since I have another headset for PC gaming and I picked these up purely to try them out with my PS5. I also can't really speak to the mic's quality since I don't really play any online games. With a teenager already living under my roof, there's enough snark and trash talk going on here, I don't need to experience it online as well. Bottom line, at $100 these are a nice addition to my PS5 setup. Because there's no battery or nonsense to mess with, I feel like these will last much longer, hurt my head less, and let me game more.

The Sony Inzone H3 is a great wired headset for gamers. They come packaged very nice, in a nice cloth-like bag which makes it seem a little more premium than they actually are. It's always nice to see companies take these little extra steps to make the product feel nice. In the box is the headset and the detachable USB cord. The USB cord is a good length, while the 3.5mm headphone cord attached to the headphones themselves is a little short for my taste. But I guess the reasoning there is that if you are using the headphone jack, it is to connect to something that is not very far from you, such as a handheld system or a controller with a headphone port. The headphone cord is also noticeably thinner than the USB cord. Weird that they just didn't use the same thickness for the entire thing. But all small issues so far. Overall, the headset has a very nice feel to it, like they are high quality and well-made. Wearing them is quite comfortable. I have rather large ears, and it's hard to find headphones that fit well. While I would prefer just a tad bit more room, they were by no means uncomfortable. And if you have average size ears, I think you'll be just fine. And the materials they use are very comfy. You get a nice padded headband, and the ear cups are very cushy and they use a breathable cloth rather than the fake leather material other sets use. I found this option to be much more comfy for long gaming sessions. My ears never got hot or otherwise uncomfortable. Performance-wise, this headset really shines. You get a nice, full, bassy sound. And the surround sound works really well when plugged into a PC. You can really hear footsteps and gunshots all around and what direction they are actually coming from. It's a very nice effect and well implemented. Overall I am very satisfied with the Sony Inzone H3 headset. It feels very well-made, is super comfortable, and has great performance. I would highly recommend.

So I just received my Sony InZone H3 Wired Gaming Headphones a few days ago and have been putting them through their paces. First off, I must say that I am very impressed with the style and build quality of the headphones. They are very sleek and I love the fact that they match the colors of the PlayStation 5. Inside the box comes the wired Sony InZone Headphones and the USB Audio Box and that's it. The headphones can be plugged in directly to the headphone port on your laptop, desktop; or use the included USB Audio Box to connect to your PlayStation 5. The mic arm is connected to the left earcuff and can be folded up to mute while chatting with others during gameplay. And the only other control on the headphones are the volume control with sits just at the back of the left earcuff. I love that these headphones aren't as busy with ton of different controls and buttons. Sony made them simple and that's just what some of us like. As far as comfortability, I fell in love with how soft and comfortable the ear-cuffs felt on my ears. The headband can be extended for those with larger heads or for just extra comfortability. I've tried and tested numerous headphones, most of which don't even come close to how these Sonys' look or feel; and that's a good thing, especially if you love playing games for extended periods of time, without having earcuffs that start to press against and hurt your ears. When it comes to sound quality, with Sony already being a leader in sound quality of other various products, I expected nothing less than superb sound and that's what I experienced while using these headphones. The feeling of the spatial sound coming at you from all directions make you feel as though you're in the game. And you can hear like the slightest sounds nearby while in gameplay.

The Sony - INZONE H3 Wired Gaming Headset - White is an excellent product by Sony providing extended comfort for hours of gaming without sacrificing sound quality both for the ears and for the mic. The corded headset allows fast transmission of sound signals inbound and outbound for a responsive experience. The hardwired mic is set in a manner that allows for easy use with the ability to move it out of the way when not in use. I found the INZONE headset to be a quality gaming addition for anyone serious about sound quality and responsiveness. Wearing these was comfortable for several hours without excessive heat and fatigue. I do find these to be similar in the sound quality to other high-end headsets in this price range, however, I found the construction to feel a bit cheap compared to others. PROS - Sony Quality and Design - Sound quality is excellent - Can wear these for hours - Wired headset for fast transmission without lag - Limited heat build up CONS - Construction could be better

I found this to be a very good headset. It doesn’t feel overly sturdy however had no issues with it over the few weeks that I have had it. The comfort level is really good. I have worn them for several hours and they don’t seem to be warm or to tight. As far as the sound goes I would highly recommend using the usb connections over the 3.5mm Jack. The sound through the 3.5 seem to be muted and was not able to adjust out with the software. The Mike seem to do an decent job. Didn’t get any complaints from folks on the other end. I will say that the sound was better when connected to the ps5 over the pc. But it was not significant. The software to turn it work well and is pretty much self explanatory. I do recommend that you use it as they sound is not bad out of the box however with all of the adjustments you can get it to the sound profile the you like. They are bright out of the box and that helps in case games but it not my preference. I was able to tone that down and boost the bass a bit to hit my preferences. Overall a good headset - just wish it was wireless

The Sony Inzone H3 are some of the most comfortable wired headphones I've ever used. The adjustable headband and foam cushion allows them to be worn comfortably for hours. The full swivel ear cups fit snugly and securely around the ear. Although they are not considered "noise cancelling" they do a great job of isolating/reducing exterior noise. The swivel microphone moves closer to the mouth when you need it, but flips up to mute. When in the mute position, it is out of the way and you hardly notice that it is there. The sound originates from 40 millimeter drivers so they don't have quite as much sound as headphones with larger drivers. However, they provide a nice, even sound when listening to music - just not as much bass "thump". They are standard with a 3.5 millimeter plug with a 48 inch cord for use with computer and game handsets. There's an additional adapter cord for USB connection to a PC. Sony offers "InZone Hub" software for use with a PC which allows for customization. With this, you can also utilize "360 Spatial Sound" for a 7.1 sound experience that really makes you feel like you're part of the excitement. At this price point, there are multiple options to consider but the Sony InZone H3 are superb.

I didn't think I would like this as much as I do. Previously I used a great wireless headset (via usb dongle) and Bluetooth to connect to PS5 and my phone at the same time, so I could hear the PS5 game *and* listen to music at the same time, but in order to do so, I would have to physically get up and plug the dongle in and out (or go into PS5 settings if it's in and change the audio output to TV if I leave it in) - that's all just a few extra steps, physically and/or settings changes, which if you're short on time, takes away from gaming time. The H3 wired simplifies everything - I don't have to get anywhere near the PS5 console because all I have to do is plug this into the PS5 controller (or any other device such as my Nintendo Switch), and the headsets are always closer to me. This has 3D spatial sound which is excellent when playing Fortnite (make sure to enable 3D audio in PS5 and also adjusting the 3D audio profile-if needed) - I was able to use the default as my ears set centered to the default settings. When enabled, you can hear all the sounds coming from the appropriate directions, which are extremely useful on fighting games. The H3 doesn't have Noise cancellation but it's actually pretty good without it. I have another Sony wireless with noise cancellation and it's superb and completely drowns out my a/c. My dual bluetooth/usb dongle that doesn't have noise cancellation makes the a/c is pretty noticeable. The H3's are in between the 2, but I quickly forget the a/c is even on w/the H3 because my ears are covered and the game sounds hide the loud a/c enough. The headsets themselves are comfortable, which is always a worry especially if I'm gaming for a long time - and sometimes I find myself playing on ps5 for hours at a time (especially with pinball games). There is a volume control on the left side and the boom mic goes up and down, but putting the mic up does not mute the mic (in comparison to my other headsets) and there is no mute button on the headset itself. When on the PS5, that's not a problem, but when plugged into another device (such as the Nintendo Switch/PC), mute will have to be set on the device itself - minor inconvenience. For the price of the H3 in comparison to the higher end model, the H3 is a great deal that provides great sounds and is comfortable to wear for a few hours at a time.

The headset did not plug and play, so just because it doesn’t automatically configure doesn’t make it a game changer. Go into control panel, then sound and look for the headset. You need to unplug from the little square box attached to the wire of the headset as unplugging from the USB and plugging back it didn’t work for me, but unplugging from the little rectangular box and replugging allowed for the computer to quickly recognize the headset by name. The name of the headset pops up on the screen momentarily when you do this. You can adjust some of the speaker setting in the configure part of the sound and headset area. You need to tell the computer which way you want to listen to your gaming by taking the steps necessary in sound. The feature that stands out the most and impresses me the most, is the mic. The sound of the mic is very clear to the listeners. I’ve tested recording myself and playing back in addition to asking others how I sound and again, impressive. The headphones are comfy, stay in place, easy to adjust and are easy to differentiate quickly from others I own because of the white color. The padding around the ears and the top of the head are comfy. The size of the headset is good for my smaller than average head circumference. It’s light in weight. The mic is adjustable, turns away and towards the face. The sound during gameplay is crisp so you can hear your enemy approaching even if tiptoeing. It’s not noise canceling and I can hear the tv from two rooms away. There’s an adjustable volume button on the same side of the headset as the mic. The adjustment for a larger head size than mine gives ample room for wider and longer diameters/circumference.

Got this as a gift for my husband who is an avid PS5 gamer. We’ve gone through many headsets over the years because he’s never been able to find one that has all his desired features - until now!! Imagine my pleasure when my husband told me after a few days that this is the best headset he’s ever owned. The clarity makes it so that he can hear every sound in the game in a spatial way; it makes him feel like he’s actually standing in the game and he can hear footsteps and gun shots all around him. It’s improved his accuracy because he can hear when enemies try to sneak up behind or to the side of him. His teammates have even asked what he’s doing differently because they can hear him more clearly in the game chat. He was very pleased to be able to take the headset out of the box, plug it into his controller and start playing right away, and he loves that it plugs into the controller because it doesn’t need to be charged and there’s no long cord to get in the way like others that have had to be plugged into the console. He also says that this is the most comfortable headset he’s ever put on; it covers his ears completely but is not tight or constricting and it doesn’t start to feel suffocating, even after playing for a few hours. He’s always been a dedicated Turtle Beach guy but this has definitely changed his mind - I asked what he wants to do with his other headset and he said he doesn’t care so long as he doesn’t have to give up his Sony! Definitely scored big with this one, highly recommended.

Best Headphones I've had in a while. Crisp, clear sound; Microphone picks up a lot (Although, I recommend some slight bending away from your mouth, because of that same sensitivity) It works very well in the audio jack AND the hdmi port, and easily connects to multiple devices, especially Sony products

I was looking forward to writing a great review on this set of headphones. But 30 seconds into testing them, they started to fail. The aesthetics are great. The white on black is very elegant and sleek. I like that the volume rocker is on the back side of the left ear. And they are sensibly lightweight. But even being as light as they are, the cushion for the head band still put enough pressure on my (bald) head to be uncomfortable and I could tell I wouldn't be able to wear them for any extended period of time. And the thinness of the cord from the headphones leaves me worried about the longevity. For the very brief time I was able to listen to audio, I wasn't very impressed. The drivers seem to be lacking a great deal of low end range. I tried a few eq settings which were able to somewhat fake this lack of range. But I could tell that these drivers weren't going to be capable of anything more than what you get out of the box. I used the supplied USB dongle to connect the headphones to my PC. About 30 seconds in to plugging them in and listening to some music, the audio just stopped. I had to toggle audio inputs for the audio to come back. Another minute later and the audio cut out again. Requiring the toggling of audio inputs to get the sound to come back. During one test, I was fiddling with the microphone while listening to audio. I was lowering and raising the microphone to see if it had any impact on the audio, and unfortunately it did. There is an audibly notable series of clicks when the microphone is about half way down (which is where the connection to turning the mic on is I assume). While the microphone was engaged, I was getting interference if I messed with the tip of the microphone. Which also then led to the headphones no longer producing audio, which required toggling again. These headphones aren't very expensive, so I can see why there are some shortcomings. But I feel like the number of issues these have far outweigh the pros of saving a few bucks. I just don't feel comfortable recommending these.

Bought it for the family. My nephews seem to enjoy it no complaints

I purchased this for a gift and my Fiancé loves them

Not good for ps5 who can be that a 20 dollar earbuds Sound better than this 100 headsets the good thing is this are one of the most comfortable gaming headsets

Volume is too low. It doesn't cancel ambient noise either. I'd like to return this item, but I discarded the packaging.
