INZONE H9 Wireless Noise Canceling Gaming Headset
Experience 360 Spatial Sound for gaming
Discover 360 Spatial Sound, activated by the INZONE Hub. It’s PC software with an all-new virtualizer to reproduce an immersive 7.1ch surround sound experience. With 360 Spatial Sound combined with our hardware technology, you can pinpoint your opponent’s location wherever they’re hiding.
Just the game, no other sounds
Experience the same Dual Sensor Noise Canceling Technology we developed for our class-leading 1000X series headphones. The INZONE H9 uses this multiple-microphone noise-canceling tech to keep out the sounds that keep you from performing your best.
Power through a whole day of missions
Marathon gaming is no match for this kind of power. Get up to 32 hours of continuous play (with Noise Canceling OFF) from a single charge. In case of emergency, get up to an hour of game time for a quick 10-minute mini-charge. Play while charging—a long USB cable keeps you in the game.
Be immersed and still be aware
With Ambient Sound Mode, you can play your game and still hear important sounds like phone calls, doorbells, or someone speaking to you in your environment. And just like with Sony music headphones, it’s just a touch of a button to switch to noise-canceling mode.
Game for hours in comfort
Designed to be secure and stable, with minimal side pressure, this is a headset that’s ready to take into action for hours on end. Soft-fit synthetic leather ear pads (same material as the Sony WH-1000XM5) are shaped to minimize pressure on your ears by optimizing contact with the side of your head.
Responsive, voice-focused boom mic
The microphone has a smart boom design, placing it closer to the mouth, so your voice can be heard cleanly, even in the most frenetic moments of a game. A microphone made for total control: fold down to talk, and flip up to mute. (Firmware update available 10/13/22 with mic quality improvements)
Personalize your gameplay
The INZONE Hub PC software includes a wide range of sound and hardware settings, and you can even fine-tune sound frequencies to your liking.
INZONE gaming monitors
Our INZONE monitors immerse you in larger-than-life action so you can perform perfectly.
Connect simultaneously
Talk over your smartphone and voice chat via Bluetooth while you game over a wireless 2.4GHz connection with the included USB transceiver.
Perfect for PlayStation 5
Works seamlessly with PlayStation 5 consoles and special PS5 features for enhanced performance.

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.

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 switched from the Playstation platinum to these as the headband on the platinum was VERY uncomfortable. These I can wear for hours with no issues at all. We'll see how long the padded headband holds up though, feels a little on the cheap side for the price point.
By default the talk back function is on, so that means you hear yourself recorded on a slight delay in the headset. This can be turned off by hooking them up to a Windows pc and downloading the Sony software and they will remember this setting when connected to the Playstation in the future.
I've only had them a couple of months but overall I'd say they are a very good headset but if they are totally worthy the money is still TBD over more time.

E adicionalmente, funciona muito bem no Call of Duty e Rainbow Six.
O conforto e leveza são top de linha.
