INZONE H9 II (WH-G910NB, WH-G910NW)

I just got them and you can EQ them (they have the same driver as the new Sony's WH1000Xm6), ANC is nice, mic sounds good and they are very comfy, can wear them all day long. Basically its a "jack of all trades" headset, similar to steelseries arctis nova pro wireless, but much better (I compared them)

They sound a bit more clearer, but lack a bit of low frequency bass tbh, but no big differences (I mean, they both dont compare to DJ headphones of course). They do better than novas on comfort (number 1), stability, ANC, mic so I consider them a better product

I am using Sony Inzone H9 II (big improvements compared to H9) on the PS5 Pro / PC. Great headset, very light and comfortable, you can EQ on the PS5 Pro by using SoundConnect app on the phone. I also have Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and the Inzone H9 II are much better Pulse Elite have QC issues (see amazon reviews, reddit etc) Audeze Maxwell are too heavy (since you asked for long gaming sessions) The rest I don't know

I really like the Inzone H9 II. Very light with good noise canceling and dual connectivity.

The sony inzone h9 2 actually use the xm5 drivers. Pretty neat for those.

Yeah that's it! I paid about $250 on a sale, at $350 it's kinda steep. But I definitely recommend for PS5.

Didn't find the Sony Inzone H9 II comfortable at all. I feel like they're designed for tiny ears. Also there was a lot of air pressure with ANC on that I didn't notice with my much cheaper headsets from another brand (even older MX4 didn't have this much pressure iirc). The worst of all was the sound. It was horrible compared to the half-priced Cloud 3s. If clouds had ANC and better earpads I would keep them for everything else but looks like the perfect headset doesn't exist...

whats your eq? id dont like the sound for music out of the box

I tried the H9 IIs. Super light and comfortable. But sound quality wise the maxwell Gen 1s blow them out of the water in my opinion. A close second for me is the Astro A50x, which is a huge upgrade over previous A50 generations. But the Maxwells are the best I've heard, for my ears and taste at least.

Astro A50x are excellent. For pure audio quality I prefer my Maxwell 1s on PC, but the A50x is a close second for me. I tried the Inzone H9 II. They were okay. Not bad, but didn't hold a candle to the Maxwell or A50x for me.

Maxwell are quite heavy. For this reason i went with Sony Inzone H9 II (2). They are half the weight.  Sound is not at the same level that's true but I could never buy and wear something that causes me a headache.

Sony Inzone H9 II (2) perhaps. Comfy and good enough anc. But barking noises won't be completely gone with ANC.

If you want that, check out the newly released Sony Inzone H9 II (v2).  Super comfy and light. (Half the maxwell weight)

+1 on this. Super light and ticks all the boxes a person needs from his headset. Came out just 2 months ago. Loving them so far. 

Its not on an audiophile headphones level but its one of the better sounding gaming headsets. You also get great passive noise isolation (seal) and ANC. My head and ears are small so they fit perfectly unlike Sennheiser for example.

Go with just released Sony inzone H9 II (2). I own them. Super light/comfy and no buggy steelseries software.

Since gaming is one of the objectives, going with non-gaming headset might cause you some compatibility / ease of use issues. Take microphone for example - Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic don't use standard jack ports so third party boom mic's won't even work. Recommendations are: Audize Maxwell Steelseries Arctis PRO Sony Inzone H9 II (2) Each has its pros and cons. Btw. I had Sony XM5 but when used wired mic doesn't work and can't be used wired while charging without static noise. You need wired or dongle for low latency / no lag (above options have that).  In the end I bought Inzone H9 II cause I'm used to super light headphones from Sony.

If one of the uses is gaming, don't go with non-gaming ones because you will have issues most likely. For example: I had Sony XM5 but when used wired mic doesn't work and they can't be used wired while charging without static noise.  You need wired or headphones with dongle for low latency / no lag. Recommendations are: Audize Maxwell Steelseries Arctis PRO Sony Inzone H9 II (2) Each has its pros and cons. In the end I bought Inzone H9 II cause I'm used to super light headphones from Sony, for example Audize ones are double the weight.

I was in the exact same situation as you. I almost started going crazy cause I couldn't find an ideal solution.  I didn't want an alien looking headset which is a common trope with gaming headsets. I also didn't want to hassle with a audiophile headphones + dongles/adapters/third party boom mics. There are always issues.  For example when I use xm5 wired they don't turn off unless i plug them out or press the button.  Which means in the morning i'm welcomed by an empty battery cause i forget to unplug it. I went with the Sony INZONE H9 II (2) because they are the most light-weight and comfy headset that ticks other boxes such as great passive noise isolation + ANC (can be turned off).
