The Sony Inzone H9 is currently on sale for $198—that’s $100 off its regular price of $299.99 and the lowest it’s ever been, according to price trackers .
With a clean black-and-white build, RGB status rings, and enough angular flair to match the console’s vibe, this gaming headset is designed with PS5 users in mind. The headband has a nice amount of give without pressing too hard, and its earpads are soft enough for marathon sessions without ear fatigue. As for the controls, on the left earcup, you’ll find a permanently attached boom mic (which mutes when you flip it up), along with the ANC toggle, volume wheel, and USB-C charging port. On the right, you get power, Bluetooth pairing, and a rocker for balancing game and chat audio. It’s simple to use—even mid-match, notes this PCMag review .
Performance-wise, the Inzone H9 brings active noise cancellation, decent bass, and surround sound simulation through Sony’s Inzone Hub on Windows. The ANC isn’t jaw-dropping, but it quiets low rumbles like fans or an air conditioner well enough. That said, high-pitched stuff still leaks in. The mic works fine for casual voice chat, but if you’re planning to stream or record, it won’t cut it—the voice quality feels more “Zoom call” than “studio-ready.” Still, for gaming and Discord, it gets the job done. You can adjust sound profiles with the 10-band EQ on PC and enable spatial audio, but if you’re on PS5, that customization’s off the table. Sony’s built-in 3D audio does kick in on the console though, so you’re not totally missing out. A relative downside is the complete lack of a wired connection. The H9 operates solely over wireless—either via the 2.4GHz USB dongle or Bluetooth—so you’ll have to manage battery life.
Speaking of battery, Sony promises up to 32 hours per charge depending on how you use it. That’s not bad, especially for a headset with ANC and Bluetooth running. You can pair it to your phone too, which adds flexibility. However, the Bluetooth audio quality won’t match the lower-latency, higher-quality signal from the dongle, especially if you’re gaming. If you’re looking for booming, theater-like bass, this headset won’t blow you away—but it holds its own in the low end without distortion, even at higher volumes.
