The Sony Inzone H9 is one of the best gaming headsets, and it's the one I use whenever I play online with friends on the PS5. Now, Sony is releasing an updated model, appropriately named the Inzone H9 II. This new peripheral retains everything that made the original great, while adding improvements that enhance the overall experience.
I recently received a Sony Inzone H9 II review unit, so expect a write-up from me soon. Based on my brief hands-on time, I think this should be another great Inzone gaming headset. In the meantime, here are all the major details you need to know.
This new headset is built around the same driver unit found in the Sony WH-1000XM6, which we consider one of the best wireless headphones. That driver, with its noise-canceling functionality, allows sounds to come through clearly in whatever game you’re playing. They’re especially good for first-person shooters since you can better tell the direction of enemy fire and footsteps.
As before, the Inzone H9 II features a directional boom mic. But this time, the mic is detachable. You can adjust the boom mic’s length and angle to your liking, which is another feature its predecessor lacked. The headset uses AI to drown out ambient noise in your environment, ensuring you won’t annoy your teammates with unwanted noise.
One of the reasons I like the original Inzone H9 is because of how comfortable it is to wear for hours. That said, its earcups and headband are somewhat oversized. The Inzone H9 II is lighter and slimmer, which should make it even more comfortable to wear during extended gaming sessions. You can easily adjust the headset’s length to conform to your head, and the headband also has a good amount of flex while remaining sturdy.
The Sony Inzone H9 II has a 2.4Hz USB-C dongle you can connect to your PS5 or gaming PC. You can also establish a simultaneous connection to your phone and gaming platform via Bluetooth, which is good if you’re expecting an important call or message. Sony also claims the headset can last up to 30 hours between battery charges.
You can pre-order the Sony Inzone H9 II now at Sony, Amazon, and Best Buy for $349. The headset comes in either black or white. Again, stay tuned for my thoughts on the Inzone H9 II soon!
