Noice canceling is great Comfort 10/10 Sound, smooth And the software that comes with it is also pretty dope

Fire, upgraded to these after my ps elites broke. Would recommend.

These fit well and are very comfortable. The sound quality is great for gaming.

Headphones sound great to me. Love the fact they are lightweight. The noise cancellation is very good also.

Really comfortable and amazing and easy to set up.

Very nice for gaming! Love these over the pulse gaming headset.

Had the rig 800 and the turtle beaches and they dont compare to these ones

I use these as headphones and for gaming. They sound incredible.

The first thing I noticed is the weight (or lack thereof). They are very lightweight despite having a very solid build to them. At just over a half of pound they can stay comfortably on your head for long gaming sessions. But in my case I use them for all my audio (not just gaming). So they need to be able to stay comfortable for hours. The initial set up and install is very easy using the included dongle. I like that by having Bluetooth and 2.4ghz connectivity you can stay connected to your game and phone at the same time. The dongle is a bit weird shaped but is easy to get connected with a simple adapter if needed. Soundwise I am really impressed. The spatial sound is amazing. This is great for locating things in competitive gaming, but also works awesome with movies, TV, etc. It has very crisp sound that is very well balanced. And the bass isnt too loud where it becomes the main focus. Its perfect. The claimed battery life is 30 hours. This is of course all based on usage. If you are using BT and 2.4 you can probably get half that. But that is still plenty for a full day use before it needs a charge. The noise canceling works great as well. It really blocks out all the stuff you dont want to hear which adds to the overall immersion of your game or movie. Sony has this dialed in. The Inzone app allows you to further tweak things like the EQ to your liking. I prefer a set it and forget it type of set up so Ill work on the EQ and other settings to make one that will work for all my audio needs. Overall I am really impressed with the H9 II. It has all the sound, features, and settings I need for all my audio from my TV and phone. Highly recommend.

A little pricey, but it’s worth it great sound and easy to use

Light weight, comfortable, great sound, great noise canceling

Good headphones. Go out and snag one. Steelseries is better though.

The more I looked into the Sony Inzone H9 II Wireless, the more curious and excited I got. I have owned various gaming headsets over the years as well as so many different Sony headphones. I had heard mixed things about the original H9. I was sincerely hoping that the H9 II would be the grand slam. The H9 II look very simple. Almost like a pair of earmuffs. This was not a bad thing for me! The simple design language doesn't scream gaming headset. They can be worn outside for casual use. My wife even used them on our recent flight. They are also supremely light due to being predominantly plastic. This really does contribute to comfort. Alot of headphone manufacturers will literally add random metal to plastic frames to increase the weight of headphones as people associate weight with quality which is not true. That being said, only time will tell if the build quality lasts and whether or not the cups will peel, etc. The matte finish is a fingerprint magnet but easily wipeable. In terms of comfort, I really do think the H9 II are one of the most comfortable headsets I have ever worn. Obviously, it is super light. The band adjustment is also different from other headphones. You adjust the height of the lower band. It is harder to explain in words but if you have it, it is simple to do. The earcups are large. The memory foam is nice and plush. I wore it for hours without complaints. The passive noise cancellation is decent. I always complain about gaming headsets without active noise cancellation (ANC), but the Sony Inzone H9 II has it! Now here is where I have a bit to nitpick at. Sony is really pushing that the H9 II are built with the same drivers as the Sony XM6 headphones. I think the word choice is intentional. They are not claiming it is the same sound quality or ANC as the XM6 (which is also much pricier than the Inzone H9 II). The ANC is most definitely NOT the same as the XM6. I own both and the XM6 is clearly superior. That being said, I think it is fairly decent ANC and definitely contributes to a more complete and immersive gaming experience. In regards to the sound quality, it is definitely one of the better sounding gaming headsets I have tried. The details of games are fairly clear and crisp. For general music and movies, you do have to play around with the EQ settings as they are tuned differently from the XM6 but you can definitely find a ok balance. I love that the microphone is detachable and adjustable. It is fairly decent audio quality. It managed to convey my voice clearly. Battery life is rather average which could be considered subpar at this price range. It is advertised to have around 30 hours I believe with the ANC on. I got under that most of the time. It does charge rather quickly though. All in all, I think there is so much to love with the Sony Inzone H9 II wireless. It does have a rather large premium so you definitely have the right to nitpick. I think you have to consider if the small imperfections are dealbreakers.

The headphone is a Sony product, but it’s so stupid that doesn’t pair it up with your PlayStation five the chat mix does not work and the sound quality is not even better that the previous model

I’ve been a fan of Sony WH-1000 headphones series for years. They’re the best in the market, especially when it comes to noise cancellation and comfort. Thus, I got these Inzone H9 headphones with the expectation that I was getting a similar deal, One of the first things that I liked immediately was that they were lightweight, which is probably number one priority if your focus is on comfort. Great for those gaming for hours. They don’t put too much pressure on your ears. Interestingly, when I was wearing glasses, it still felt comfortable. However, they are not as comfortable as the series I mentioned earlier, especially if you plan to fly with them. No big deal for gaming though. When it comes to noise cancellation, it rivals the WH-1000 series. With the touch of a button, you’re totally immersed in the game, and you can’t hear anything at all outside. Unfortunately, they are clearly designed for gaming only, and I wouldn’t carry them with me for use at an airport for instance as I would look too geek. Otherwise, it would be the only headphones I would ever use anywhere. As for audio quality, it again rivaled Sony’s premium series even for music. But again, these are designed for gaming they perform even better for that type of audio. You can even use EQ presets and spatial audio is fantastic. The mic also performed very well, and I like that it is detachable, although it is not very stable. Because they move around too much, the mic is what I liked the least about the Inzone H9 II. Sometimes, depending on how I insert it into the headset, they become stable for a while. There is a design flaw somewhere unless I simply got a bad pair. As for the wireless connectivity, these headphones will connect to just anything: Bluetooth classic and LE, USB-C dongle, and also through the included 3.5mm cable when that’s your only option for some equipment. They all worked flawlessly for me. Overall, I am very impressed with Inzone H9 II. My only complaint is about the mic physical instability, but the mic outperforms any other that I’ve tried.

The usb-c dongle constantly disconnects from my computer, making this a frustrating product

At the top of this review all I can say is, if you have the money and are looking for the best gaming headset for PC and PS5, the Sony INZONE H9 II is the one to get. I have found myself cycling through headsets because I feel I always have to make some exceptions with each headset. A highly reviewed headset sounds great but too heavy. Or another has great connectivity but no sidetone (hearing your own voice so you aren’t screaming into the headset unless you want to scream). Another has poor noise-cancelling or they look bad. The INZONE H9 II has it all, but in one perfect package. I think one of the greatest compliments I can give a gaming headset is, will I use it outside of gaming? The H9 IIs are a no question, I absolutely will be using this around the house and during travel. They are so comfortable, they sound incredible, and their noise cancelling is in the same ballpark as their XM6 flagship headphones for a cheaper price. Seamless switching between PC and bluetooth so that I can be gaming, then walk away for a few and listen to a podcast without having to fumble with settings. I’m excited to test these out on my next trip. As you can see below, my pros list far outweighs the two small quibbles I have. I really can’t say enough positive things about this headset. The easiest recommendation I’ve ever made in a review. Pros: Sound quality good enough to use as daily non-gaming drivers A detachable mic makes these a great option for travel as well, has a light on the inside of the mic to let you know when you are muted which is brilliant! Noise cancelling ability similar to Sony’s industry leading flagship XM6 headphones Excellent connectivity, never dropped connection and was able to walk across the house with them on and still chat with friends Lightweight and flexible, my big head was comfortable for my 5 hour gaming sessions 2.4GHz + Bluetooth that actually works seamlessly when connected to computer and phone LONG battery life, never even came close to feeling worried about them dying during gaming INZONE app allows for more fine tuning Sidetone that actually sounds good! Different shaped buttons to quickly adjust settings Cons: Wish the 2.4GHz USB-C dongle came with a USB-A adapter Wish it was an actual case and not just a bag

I recently upgraded to the **Sony WH-H9 II headphones**, after owning the first-generation H9 model, and I can confidently say they’ve taken my PlayStation experience to another level. I’ve always loved Sony products—especially the PlayStation—and whenever possible, I try to buy accessories made by the same company. In my opinion, the brand that builds the original product is in the best position to design accessories that feel seamless and flawless, and that philosophy really pays off here. ### Pros * **Noise Cancelling for Gaming**: The improved ANC is a big step up from the first H9s. During online matches, it blocks out distractions so I can focus on communication and gameplay. It also adds another layer of immersion in single-player titles. * **Sound Quality Tuned for PlayStation**: The H9 II delivers detailed, balanced audio. Directional cues in multiplayer games are clear, dialogue is crisp, and the bass is powerful without being overwhelming—making it ideal for both competitive play and cinematic gaming. * **Comfort for Long Sessions**: Sony redesigned the ear cushions to be softer and more breathable, which makes a real difference during long gaming sessions. I can wear these for hours without discomfort. * **Seamless Integration**: Setup with the PlayStation is smooth, and switching between the console and other devices is easy. It feels like these were built with the PlayStation experience in mind. * **Battery Life**: Long-lasting battery and quick-charge support mean I rarely worry about losing power mid-game. ### Cons * **Price**: They are expensive, and while I believe the quality is worth it, they may be a tough sell for more casual players. * **Bulkiness**: Despite folding, they’re still on the larger side compared to typical gaming headsets. * **Touch Controls**: Improved but not flawless—gestures occasionally misread, which can interrupt gameplay. * **Mic Quality**: Good enough for party chat, but not as clear as a dedicated standalone microphone. ### Final Thoughts Coming from the original H9s, the **H9 II is a noticeable upgrade** in nearly every category. What makes them stand out most to me is how well they complement the PlayStation experience. Because they’re designed by Sony, the same company behind the console, the integration feels natural, the features are optimized, and everything just works the way it should. For players like me—who believe the best accessories come from the company that built the original system—the **Sony WH-H9 II** is an excellent choice. They combine premium comfort, immersive sound, and Sony’s trademark polish into one of the best headsets available for PlayStation gaming.

Very disappointed, much worse than the Sony inzone h7

I have been using the Sony Headphones for a while now and they have been awesome straight out of the box. They look super cool and they are very stylish. They come with a soft bag carrying case that’s adds to the true premium feel of these. They sound great they are plenty loud which usually is an issue for a lot of wireless headphones but these don’t have that problem. The ANC is absolutely fantastic my PC fans are pretty loud when they get going and the ANC takes care of it immediately and sometimes my wife will be talking to me and I’ll miss it. So yeah they are good. The surround is really good and you can tune it as well. The comfort is really nice no issues with my huge head where I usually have issues. I also really like the mic included it makes me feel like I’m in Spec ops or something. It picks up my voice well with no issues. The headset also splits the chat and game audio into two devices on your computer and there is a dedicated rocker on the headset so you are able to raise and lower the volume on each one. Which is really nice when you need to tune out someone or you can just have it be music. Overall a super solid headset with no downside.
