Sony Inzone H5 Wireless Gaming Headset Review: A Worthy Companion for the PS5
Since the release of the PlayStation 5, Sony has paraded an army of accessories to pair with the console — headsets, earbuds, charging dock, camera, media remote and more. And then, there's the line of Inzone gaming headsets that offer a little more versatility. The Inzone H3, H7 and H9 are compatible with both PC and PS5 and bring an escalating suite of features across their price points. Sony's newly released Inzone H5 wireless gaming headset sits snugly somewhere in the middle of its kin. The Inzone H5 offers spatial audio capabilities for immersive gameplay, it boasts a long battery life and lightweight design for longer and more comfortable gaming sessions, and it brings both wireless and wired connectivity via a 2.4 GHz wireless connection with a USB Type-A transceiver and a 3.5mm audio jack, respectively.
But does the H5 stand out in a glut of gaming headphone options, especially for the PS5? The short answer is yes. The Inzone H5 represents a considerable upgrade over the dedicated Pulse 3D wireless headset for PS5. It sports a less striking but more comfortable design, more intuitive controls and much longer battery life. It is also more expensive than the Pulse 3D headset. The H5, however, brings just enough to the table to justify the higher price. Over the past few weeks, I got a chance to test out Sony's latest gaming headset in a variety of settings and circumstances. The H5 surprised me with its ultra-comfortable fit and ridiculously good battery life. And while the headset's big-ticket features delivered, it was the small details that truly stood out.
The Sony Inzone H5 packaging includes the over-ear gaming headphones, a 3.5mm audio cable, a USB Type-C cable for charging and a USB Type-A transceiver compatible with both PS5 and PC. The design of the headphones is closer to the cheaper H3 pair of headphones in the Inzone headset family, with a matte black or white plastic body.
