||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't bother lol. It feels super plasticity.

H9s are absolute Garbage
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a Call of Duty player since 2008. I pre-ordered these headsets in great anticipation because they were made for the PS5 of which I have 2 of. I have used a variety of headsets including the Turtle Beach Elite 800 and the Astro a50s. Compared to the Astros the Sony H9 are absolute garbage. They make you think the sound is going to be so great. They make you download an app that has you take a picture of each one of you ears as part of the setup. Within 30 minutes of completing the setup and jumping off into several games of Cold War I knew the headsets were worthless for playing COD and I am returning them. I setup a custom game and found I could only hear footsteps at half the range I could with the Astros. In the custom game the account on the second PS5 had no dead silence on and I was totally shocked how much further away I could hear footsteps with the Astro a50s. So if you play COD don't waste your money on the H9s. And yes I am extremely sure they were set up correctly. I would rate the H9s as the worst headset I have ever had. They will be the first ones I have ever returned.

Feels cheap
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For thr price, these feel very cheap. I understand they want a lightweight head set to offset fatigue of the wearer, but these took it too far. The audio and microphone was meh as well. I returned them and picked up the new Turtle Beach Stealth Pro. Hands down a far superior product for about the same price.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi JaviF,
Thank you for the purchase and we're sorry to hear what happened with your headphones. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (30 feet). The maximum communication distance may vary depending on the presence of obstacles (people, metal objects, walls, etc.) or the electromagnetic environment.
Because the USB transceiver, Bluetooth devices, and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11ax/b/g/n) use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz), microwave interference may occur and result in noise, audio dropouts, or communications being disabled if this headset is used near a wireless LAN device. In such a case, perform the following steps.
- When connecting the headset to the USB transceiver or a Bluetooth device, use the headset at least 10 m (30 feet) away from the wireless LAN device.
- If this headset is used within 10 m (30 feet) of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.
- Use this headset and the USB transceiver/Bluetooth device near each other as much as possible.

The dongle stops working after 6 months approx. Just wont come back on. I didnt have issues with sound or headset. Just this dongle. Can you not use with out the dongle? Uhh cool.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Dave,
We're sorry to learn the USB dongle/transceiver doesn't work properly with your INZONE H9. We'd love to help you troubleshoot your problem and turn this into a better experience. After you connect the USB transceiver to a USB port on the PC or PS5, press and hold the (connect) button on the USB transceiver for about five seconds, then kindly check that the USB transceiver indicator is repeatedly flashing twice in white.
If it does not light up or won't pair to the INZONE gaming headset, follow the instructions below to troubleshoot and resolve this issue.
• Disconnect the USB transceiver, and connect it to a different computer or PS5 port.
• Move any device or cable supporting USB 3.0 away from the USB transceiver.
• Remove all other USB devices and USB cables from the computer, if possible.
• Move any metal objects away from the USB transceiver.
• Restart the connected computer or PS5, and pair it with the headset again.
If the headset cannot be connected to the USB transceiver connected to the computer or PS5, follow the procedure on this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/295960/v1/en/contents/TP1000670450.html

Awful value for a $300 headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The biggest issue with the headset is the connection problems. While I’m less than 5 feet from my ps5, the audio will often get staticky/cut out as if I’m out of range 50 feet away. The noise canceling isn’t very good, its nothing like airpods or beats noise canceling. The ear cups are so long, that if you wear glasses they cant sit tight on your head which leaks audio. The audio quality really isnt much better than the Pulse 3D headset ($100). I wish I could return these and get a headset from SteeleSeries
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Schmitty, We're sorry to hear about your issue with the INZONE H9 Wireless Noise Canceling Gaming Headset. Bring the headset and the game console that the USB transceiver is connected to a distance within 1 m (3 feet) from each other. The noise canceling function is effective for noise in low frequency ranges in locations such as offices, near air conditioners, on trains, and on planes and is not as effective for noise in higher frequencies, such as human voices. You can check the noise canceling settings with “INZONE Hub”. Soft-fit leather ear pads are shaped to minimize pressure on your ears by optimizing contact with the side of your head. This highly stretchable ear pad material is designed for comfort, stability and sound insulation.
