SonyINZONE 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 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've been through a lot of gaming headsets over the years and after a year of using the H9s they are easily the best ones I have used. First off, as someone who mostly plays on Playstation they integrate perfectly. You get all of the UI features you'd expect from a first party product which immediately feels better than other third party brands. PC performance is good but not really noteworthy in any way, they sound great, they work fine. There is an app that you can use on windows but in my opinion it's useless. The default sound profile is much better than anything I could come up with on my own. Bluetooth is also really nice to have. You can listen to music or take calls while playing games easilyOne of the best things about it is just how comfortable they are. I've found most gaming headsets uncomfortable after extended use but I could wear the H9s all day without any discomfort other them getting a little warm in the summer. Of the dozen or so gaming headsets I've used, nothing else comes close to being as comfortable as the H9s.The default sound profile is pretty balanced. If you are a huge bass junkie something from Turtle Beach or logitech might be a better choice, but for me there is plenty of bass on the H9s. You can crank it up in the app but it just doesn't sound very good. Noise cancelling is also very solid. The easiest headphones I'd compare them to is the Sony XM4 or XM5. I think both the sound and noise cancelling is slightly better on ths headphones, but the H9s are very close to as good.Cons:the price is steep, but I think it's understandable when you look at comparable headphones.They run a bit large. I think a child would have trouble wearing them so keep that in mindThe automatic turn off doesn't seem to recognize PS5 rest mode as being "turned off" meaning that if I forget to manually turn them off I'll often come back the next day to a mostly dead battery. Seems like a frustrating oversight on Sony's part. Expect to turn them off manually each time. If you are only using them on PC the auto turn off function seems fine. This is probably the biggest downside to them.Also, these go on sale regularly and it's not hard to find them for around half off either from a sale or refurb. I found mine for $140 and have friends that also got them for that cheap.Overall I'd highly recommend.
