Sony INZONE H3 Wired Gaming Headphones With Mic, PS5 Headphones, Over-Ear, Personalized 360 Spatial Sound, Discord Certified MDR-G300 (White)

I'm currently using the Sony In Zone H9 Wireless Headset with my PlayStation 5 via USB dongle (2.4 Ghz) and paired up to my Android phone via (Bluetooth).I own two pairs of Pulse 3D wireless headsets (Black & White) both are still working in perfect condition to compare this written comparison review.I bought the H9's to see if my gaming experience would be better compared to the Pulse 3D headset.Here's the pros and cons for the H9's comparing it to the Pulse 3D wireless headset.Pros:• H9's are very comfortable. H9's don't squeeze your head as much as the Pulse 3D's. Very little difference between the two but slightly noticable comfort.• H9's feels lighter on my head. Both are pretty light weight headsets. Most likely this is from the bigger ear cups on the H9's.• Both are Glasses friendly headsets.• Both use USB-C to charge the headsets.• Both have easy volume controls on the left ear cup. H9's has a volume wheel for adjusting the overall sound which is more user friendly compared to the up and down separate volume buttons on the Pulse 3D headset.• Both are able to adjust the game volume and voice chat volume independently. (This is a huge pro for when playing online with friends.) H9's button's are on the right ear cup. Pulse 3D's are on the left.• Noise Cancelation on the H9's is the true seller for me. It's really good. By far the best feature to have on a gaming headset. Turning the Noise Cancelation On is as easy as pressing a single button on your left ear cup to adjust the level of noise around you. When I turn on the noise cancelation to max I can't even hear my window air-conditioner any more. Which was a distraction from my gaming experience.• Microphone quality sounds allot better as what my PSN friends say.• H9's are easier to rest around your neck because the ear cups fold in towards your chest. Pulse 3D's ear cups don't fold or move at all.• H9's are able to pair a Bluetooth device while gaming on the PlayStation 5. For example I can listen to music or answer phone calls from my Smartphone all while I can still hear the game and chat audio from the PlayStation 5. Tip: Best way if you're needing to focus on your phone call press and hold the mute button on your DualSense Controller to kill the voice chat and game chat audio from the PS5.• The Sound quality from the H9 headset has better Highs and Better Lows. I ran several tests with this headset both bass sound tests and vocal sound tests. Overall the sound quality of these internal speaker's in the H9's are a improvement compared to the Pulse 3D. Both headsets have really good sound for gaming.Cons:• The Price between the two is a $200 difference. Pulse 3D is $99 and the H9's are $299.• Can't mute the microphone with the DualSense Controller. (The Pulse 3D Wireless Headset also can't mute the microphone from the DualSense Controller unless you use the 3.5 mm headphone jack to the DualSense Controller. This is a minor complaint but logically it makes sense to use the most quickest way to mute yourself for thing's like coughing or sneezing. The DualSense Controller mute button is the quickest button that's near your hands while gaming. This is a major oversight for the PS5's firmware/hardware. Pro Tip: to mute yourself on the H9's you just flip up the boom microphone on the left ear cup until you hear a click or see the microphone is muted on the TV. With the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset you have to press the Mute button on the left ear cup.• If you're standing or sitting down and you bend over 45° and look straight downward to the floor the H9's slowly start to slide off your head. Pulse squeeze's your head slightly more so the headset doesn't slide off your head as fast. Nothing to be major concerned about because you typically look forward while play games.• H9's don't have a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Pulse 3D headset does.• H9's don't currently have a EQ option to adjust on the PlayStation 5 compared to the Pulse 3D.Overall I'm impressed with the H9's. My only major complaint is the price and the lack of EQ settings on the PlayStation 5. Both issues could be resolved overtime. So if you're looking for a gaming headset and want good quality sound and the ability to cut out sounds around you while you're playing a video game I'd strongly recommend the H9's.If you're not wanting noise cancelation and are on a budget I'd recommend the Pulse 3D headset.

I have been looking for new headphones to go with my PS5. These completed my search. Feel comfortable on even when wearing for hours. Sounds great too. Mic seems to work well too. Easy to connect.

I had the Inzone H7 before this, and the sponge on top came off after having it for about 3 years. I've always loved the H7 but it didn't have noise cancelation which I thought was a nice feature and it seems like at the moment you cant find too many noise cancelling for under 300 dollars so I tried a few other headphones before the H9. I tried the PlayStation Pulse (not the pro just the normal one)andI wasn't too pleased not able to connect to multiple sources and no noise cancelation and small earmuffs for the headphones, then I tried the SteelSeries 7 and they were terrible on the sound quality had bunches of crackling and sound breaks so finally I got these pair and so far they are pretty great, nice clean sound, able to connect to multiple sources, nice noise canceling as well as the ambient noise to hear stuff outside your headphones loving them so far ill edit my review if anything changes.

I had read the reviews about these concerning the audio and I was under the impression from the way many reviews were written like these just might not be bass heavy. I knew I wouldn't mind that as I've had headphones like that before and they were fine with me. That is not what the problem is with these.Upon first use I was immediately impressed by the noise cancellation. It was absolutely top notch. It's the main reason I even looked at this to replace my current headset because it's noise cancellation is just mediocre (Turtle Beach Stealth Pro.)Get them charged, paired to my tablet and connected to my computer and go to play the game I'm playing right now "Hunt: Showdown" and Immediately I am caught off guard by how bad they sound. The sound to me is like super compressed garbage audio being played on the cheapest headphones you can find. I had to double check they were actually sony headphones it was so bad.So I get the Inzone app, update the headphones + transmitter and then try the preset EQs and a couple premade EQs I found on reddit plus then tried to play around with the EQ some more myself. Absolutely nothing I changed stopped them from sounding super muffled. Imagine putting cotton balls in your ears and then using a pair of headphones.For comparison, I tested my Turtle Beach Stealth pros, bluetooth Airpod Pros, bluetooth airpod Maxs, Wired B&W P5 (14-15 years old now I think) and while they all have their own coloring of the sound, you could still tell the audio source was the same across all of them. I even turned on the sound system which is a lot to describe but has some mid level Martin Logan speakers + Emotiva gen 1 amps and Marants preamp. Again, you could tell across all these options that the source was the same.Then you try the Inzone H9s and it sounds so badly compressed and awful. What I then noticed was that my ipad over bluetooth actually sounded fine. Tried some music and youtube videos and all sounded normal to me. So then i tried connecting them to my computer as bluetooth and playing the same game again. Sounds normal now.So the problem far as I can tell, is unlike say the Turtle Beach Stealth pro that can keep excellent audio clarity over a 2.4Ghz transceiver with minimal delay, The Sony unit appears to compress the source material something awful over the transmitter.I also found the spatial audio to be AWFUL. With the Turtle Beach Pros I use Dolby Atmos for headphones and it always sounds great. The sony spatial audio makes the already poor sound quality 10X worse. To make it worse, it isn't even accurate and it will put the sound in the wrong place at times. Something I've never experienced with the Dolby Atmos spatial setup.Good news is, you can not use sonys app and then use something like Dolby Atmos so least your spatial audio quality doesn't tank, but it can't fix a very bad sounding headset. I would not use these even if they were gifted to me for free, the audio quality is that bad. I've got some $10 bluetooth headphones that I used for working out since I didn't care if I killed them with sweat. They are like 6-7 years old now. I think they sound drastically better than these headphones.

This gaming headset is worth the cost, I’m not a die hard gamer. However, the battery life on this headset is insane! Every time I’d be on a long gaming session and check the battery life it’d surprise me on how long it lasts. During long gaming sessions, I did notice a little discomfort which would require me to readjust the headset. The functions on the headset are definitely used and make it easier. I definitely tie my recommend and I have had the product for about a year now.

Great product! Sound is exactly what I wanted!
