Looking to give your gaming setup a boost, specifically in the audio department? Well, if you do, Sony’s gaming brand INZONE has just the gear for you—but be prepared to splurge, because gaming audio bliss comes with a price bump too. But more on that in a sec. Folks, this is the Sony INZONE H9 II Wireless Noise Canceling Gaming Headset, the direct successor to the original H9 launched in 2022, developed with the Fnatic eSports team.
The new H9 II boasts several upgrades, including 30 mm carbon composite drivers borrowed from Sony’s flagship WH-1000XM6 headphones, advanced active noise cancellation for disturbance-free immersive gameplay, a detachable cardioid boom mic tuned with feedback from Fnatic, 30-hour battery life with quick-charge support, and dual wireless connectivity. Speaking of connectivity, it comes with a USB-C dongle that delivers a dedicated ultra-low latency 2.4 GHz connection.
This pro-level gaming headset is crafted with first-person shooters in mind, boosting spatial audio presets and customizable EQ settings. For fans of VALORANT and Apex Legends, you’d be glad to know the H9 II features Fnatic presets tuned specifically for those games through the INZONE Hub. You can also set game-specific EQ presets for PC or PS5 through the Sony Sound Connect app.
Designed for long sessions, the H9 II weighs just 260 g and features a pressure-balanced structure that reduces fatigue and hotspots. The active noise cancelling works in both wireless and wired modes, and the boom mic packs AI noise cancellation for clear, natural comms. The 30-hour battery is just icing on the cake.
If you’re sold, be ready to be US$349.99 poorer.
