Q: Does the headset have a microphone?
A: The Sony INZONE H9 Wireless Noise Canceling Gaming Headset has noise canceling for supercharged hearing and super sharp reflexes.
Q: Is the headset compatible with other gaming consoles besides PlayStation?
A: The provided information only states that the headset is compatible with Playstation.
Q: What is the battery life of the headset?
A: The battery life of the headset is 32 hours.
Q: What type of charging cable is included with the headset?
A: The INZONE H9 Wireless Noise Canceling Gaming Headset includes a charging cable.
Q: Is the headset compatible with a PC?
A: The INZONE H9 Wireless Noise Canceling Gaming Headset is compatible with Playstation.
Q: Dumb question but does this sony headset connect to xbox series x as well or only PS5 exclusive?
A: It seems like Sony limited connectivity as much as possible so no. With only 19db of noise cancelling they are about as good as a pair of Sony xb910n's which are around $130
Q: How effective is the Noise cancelling (ANC) compared to WH-1000XM4?
A: Not as good and 10db less noise cancelling ability vs xm5's and 12 less than xm4's. People seem to think they are just xm4's or 5's with some visual changes and a mic but they aren't. I wasted $300 to find out because I bought a pair of these and a pair of xm5's to replace my xm4's then took these and the xm4's apart. Different radios aside (needed for ps5 USB dongle) they have different model number chips in the noise cancelling system and looking through Sony's parts guide showed that they were just a size shrink but had different specs and compatibility between devices. The microphones for ANC were also from lower end models than xm4's showing more in common with the xb910n Then I did actually testing and they had worse noise cancelling than even xm3's so I believe they are based on the xb910n headphones internally as they have the same ANC profile and speaker + bass tube layout.
Q: Is the microphone detachable?
A: No the mic is not detachable

On Hour Out Of Box Impressions
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.

Almost!
An honest review of these headphones is very difficult because they’re hit and miss. I will list the pros and cons. Pros: When connected to my PS5 they work seamlessly and automatically display the headphones once connected. It has a selector switch to for PS5/PS4 and PC. When gaming, it feels like you’re there and the sound is coming directly at you. I play a lot of Call Of Duty and these headphones do help with footsteps. When used on PC they work great and the mic is great as well. The mic also swivels up and down. Once swiveled up it is muted. Once swiveled down it is unmuted. The audio is great and they also have ANC (Active Noise Cancelling). The noise cancelling works great and the audio is excellent. The battery life is great and you can also use them while they charge which helps out alot. I’ve used them all day without charging or turning them off and then come back to use them and they’d still be working with no problems. Cons: There is not an alert or any caution that notifies you that the headphones need to be charged or when it reaches 100%. So unless you plug them in and wait to charge them for a while you won’t know. There also isn’t a way for you to know what percentage the headphones are on unless you get the app for the headphones on PC and install the software for it which makes no sense. Various headsets do this feature and it’s a headscratcher as to why Sony couldn’t or didn’t implement it into these, especially for the price point that these are at. Lastly, the price for these are $299.99 plus tax. I see no reason as to how or why Sony could charge this much and not have the simplest features included in their premium gaming headset. Overall: These headphones sound great, the battery life is great, the mic is great but Sony really missed on these for not adding simple features that come standard on cheaper headsets.

Great Headphones. Software need to be updated
Trying out the the headphones were very comfortable. If you are familiar with the Sony WH-1000XM3 - M5, this will be very similar. Noise cancelling is not all great like the Sony signature headphones but it get the job done. Mic is good but ive been using another decidated XLR microphone but fot gaming mic, it will do the job. The software had problems and there are patterns that it does not detect out of the box. My PC has to be fully restarted or shutdown in order to detect the headphones on the software. Don't put it to sleep or hibernate. When using the equalizet its is ok but the sound quality is not great but for a niche for gaming, it is not bad. Spatial audio is somewhat laughable but its fine. In summary, the headphones are not bad but they are mostly $200 instead of $300 headphones
