Sony Reveals New Line Of Gaming Headsets And Monitors For PS5 And PC

Sony recently announced a dedicated push to expand the PlayStation brand to PC, and a new line of gaming products shows that the emphasis on PC gaming won't be limited to games. Meet Sony Inzone, a new brand of products that is debuting with gaming headsets and gaming monitors for both PC and PS5. While largely focused at PC gamers, the Inzone brand was also developed with PS5 users in mind, as it takes advantage of some of the console's audio and visual features. Inzone is a Sony brand, not PlayStation, and it represents the first Sony Electronics-made series of gaming-focused products in a long time.

Sony's Inzone gaming headsets come in three models: H3 ($99), H7 ($229), and H9 ($299). They have a white-and-black design that makes them match the PS5, which is a nice for those who pick them up for console gaming.

The Inzone H9 rivals other high-end wireless headsets in terms of performance and comfort. It features noise-canceling tech as well as 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth connections. The H9 earcups feature Sony's soft-fit leatherette, which is borrowed from the audio giant's flagship WH-1000X headphones. I tested the H9 and can confirm that the headset is as comfortable to wear as the recently released (and stellar) WH-1000XM5.

Meanwhile, the H7 doesn't support digital noise canceling and uses a fabric material on the earcups rather than the soft-fit leatherette. Though I didn't test the H7, I did try the wired H3 edition that has the same materials. There's a big difference in comfort and overall feel between the soft-fit leather and the fabric. I was far more aware that I was wearing a headset when using the H3. The H3 is still pretty comfortable for the price, but those interested in a wireless model should
