Sony Inzone H9

The Sony Inzone H9 and H3 are impressive entries into the gaming headset market, with a comfortable fit, multi-device audio and support for both gaming PCs and PlayStation. But the high-end H9 could use some more frills to justify the price, including a removable microphone.

Sony's Inzone H9 flagship gaming headset offers very good simulated surround sound, average audio quality, and a middling microphone for a steep price.

Sony’s Inzone H9 is a decent first attempt at Sony making a gaming headset that isn’t affiliated with the PlayStation brand, though the design very much still fits with the PS5’s clean white aesthetic. Its 3D Audio works flawlessly, and noise cancellation is a welcome feature, even if it’s not as impressive as Sony’s flagship ANC headphones. Solid battery life, as well as the ability to connect to multiple devices at once, also make this a headset worth considering. But all of that good is overshadowed by okay performance when playing music, a disappointing mic that is hypersensitive to the smallest outside noise except for your voice, and inconsistent audio levels between devices, making the H9 hard to recommend given its premium price point.

The Sony Inzone H9 is a solid gaming headset for both PC and PS5. Although it works as advertised, a few factors prevent it from being perfect.

The Sony Inzone H9 is a good gaming headset, albeit quite an expensive one. Its audio is pretty good, although not as sharp as the mid-range Inzone H7. The addition of ANC does a good job at blocking out most noise, even if it doesn’t do it as potently as similarly priced headphones. They do look sleek, which is a plus, and the battery life provides days’ worth of endurance.

Si buscas unos auriculares gamer, sí. Merecen la pena solo por su excelente calidad de sonido. No son perfectos, con varios detalles mejorables como el no poder quitar el micrófono. Aun así, su autonomía de batería, su sonido espacial y su cancelación activa de ruido hacen que destaquen.
