I generally stand against gaming headset because of the brand tax and audio quality, but I do need something with a headphone so I get my hands on a open box Inzone H9 (first gen), got it around two years ago and it’s actually pretty decent since then. I believe other Inzones has similar audio unit with cheaper price.
This. I love my first gen H9’s, but it baffles me that volume control from the Edge controller doesn’t work with them. Especially since the volume buttons on the headset are purely digital, and control the console volume settings.
Sony has dropped the ball in general when it comes to controlling headphones from the controllers. Too many headsets don’t work with the mute button either. I’m aware that some headsets like the H9 have a mic arm you need to lower, but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to mute the mic independently of how the mic is positioned.
I’ve been using these for a a few years now. Absolutely fantastic headset. Just checked what I paid for them back then and the price has gone up $50! I see they are on Gen 2 now. They look more cheaply built compared to the first gen.
Not good at all. I've had the Inzone H9 (previous model) for a while now and I loved how you can turn the chat/game volume up and down on the headset. Also, loved how when you turned those on, it automatically switches the sound from my monitor to the headset and when I turn them off, it switches back to the monitor. I don't have to unmute the button on the PS5 controller (I set to turn to mute when turning on the ps5).
With the new headset (H9 ii), the sounds doesn't switch back and forth from the monitor to the headset automatically. I have to manually do it. I also have to unmute on my controller. When I use the mute button on the headset, it doesn't show the mute button and play a sound on my PS5. The chat/game volume doesn't work on the PS5. It works on PC. You cannot see the volume level on your screen either. Seems like these are made for PC primarily. It says PS5 on the box but unless I'm doing something wrong, none of the stuff works correctly. I even exchanged the headset thinking something was wrong with it.
Sound quality is AMAZING. I guess the microphone is excellent as well.
If I'm doing something wrong, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!
I have the Sony Inzone H9 headset. I like it a lot, it's super comfortable to wear and sound is great. Zero connection issues, which I did have with the Pulse Explore earbuds. Would definitely recommend
I really like my Sony Inzone H7 headset. Its has good sound quality, seems to be built less break-prone than the Playstation headsets, and it has dual connection, so you can link it and listen to 2 devices simultaneously. They also have the H9, which is a higher tier but i cant remember what extra features that one has. Theres also the H5 which is wired, so lacks the dual connection. H7 is a great middle option though.
