Great this was the direct replacement to my a50x that died in less than 3 months

It is a great product but the only problem is when you use it with a console you have to manually change the audio output

Wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowwooowwowooowwowowo

I love these headphones for using on the PS5. Just wish they had built in software on the system like the pulse elite headset.

I have been using this headset for my PS5 and it has been great so far!

Best headphones for gaming. I can also customize to my liking.

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

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.

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.

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

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 Sony Inzone H9 II are feature-rich high quality headphones. The build quality on these headphones is great. They are made of a durable plastic. The biggest benefit to them being plastic seems to be the weight--they are super light and don’t create a lot of fatigue after long wear. The headband is also super comfortable. There is a button on each side of the headband that allows it to adjust freely to get the perfect comfort. My only wish on the headphones build is that the headphones folded; because they don’t fold it makes them a bit more difficult to transport as they have a large footprint. Overall, they feel super balanced and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I really appreciate the inclusion of physical controls on the headset. I especially like that the mute button is a toggle so you can feel when it’s on mute vs. not on mute. The windows/iOS companion apps allow you to customize the settings of the headphones. Among configurable options are adjusting the EQ. There are EQ presets for specific games, or you can listen to sample sounds and configure the EQ based on your preferences. Connectivity is super easy to set up. Connecting via 2.4ghz is as simple as plugging in the dongle into a device. It didn’t seem to require installation of any drivers or anything. Bluetooth is as simple as holding the pairing button. I didn’t have any issues with connectivity during my testing. I also appreciated the inclusion of a wired connection option. The sound quality is amazing. Sony said the drivers in these are the same as the WH-1000XM6, which are some of the best over-ear headphones on the market. It has virtual 7.1 surround sound which is great for gaming as you can hear sounds from where they are coming from. There is also noise cancellation built in which works super well too. I could hear the quietest noises clearly and directionally where they were coming from, which I feel like gives me an advantage when I’m gaming. The microphone works really well, too. My friends who helped me tested the microphone said I came through super clear. According to Sony, it has AI-powered background noise cancellation for the microphone and I think that’s apparent in the sound quality. I also love that the microphone is removable. It also has a built in light to indicate when you’re on mute which is super cool. Overall, I’d recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a top tier gaming headset.

I did not like it was a little too flimsy, but it didn’t have great comfort

Audio quality is poor. It checks all boxes but doesn’t do anything in particular to warrant the price

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.

Could not keep headset connected via Bluetooth. Dongle take up too much real estate on the back of my computer
