I always used over ear headphones but kept one ear free so I could hear other people in my house if they need help or something else With an Ambient sound I could finally use both ears and still can hear my sourroundings
earbuds are great. I’m so happy i didn’t buy the other “nicer more tech planar” only because of battery life being so important. Sony made a mistake because they should make the planar version have also a huge battery and charge more money. I would have paid $300-400 if the planar had 12 hr battery life. Because the planar seems to give more audio que when coming to footsteps. However these inzone are super comfy! The only problem I have is that I bought comfort foam tips from amazon and the foam goes bad every 3-4 weeks… and you have to keep ordering foam tips. The silicone won’t go bad, but doesn’t fit as snug.
Yeah, the new earbuds are awesome from Sony but the only problem is the sound quality is not really the best which is pretty sad for the price you do pay I have other earbuds that have way better sound quality for gaming and specially talking to other people, that’s where the sound quality is a lot worse and the white noise is terrible that really needs to be fixed when you talk to people and stuff like that and they’re not talking you can hear it pretty bad and it just gets annoying. and I don’t understand thatplus they have disconnected a few times don’t get that either but other than that the battery life is awesome and it’s very comfortable to wear them
I had the Inzone h9, while was a good product (overpriced too) it shocked me the total lack of support from sony themselves. Until today you just can't EQ this on PS5 (while you can with Pulse 3D) and almost no update at all since day 1.
I really want your opinion on this one... I hate headsets i always feel headache while wearing them that's why i always using speakers..i want to know if it's worth buying it for chatting on discord and play at the same time i can't communicate with my friends because I hate headset.. Because i read a lot of people's opinions and they said the mic is not good and feels bad and not clear is that true? I only want to use it while playing with my friends and using discord at the same time. I hope you answer me!
The comfort is great! But yeah, The mic is not great, I would not recommend that for chatting with friends on Discord 😕 if you’re on PC you could get a cheap mice like the Solocast to go with it
Thank you for the great video. Please do a comparison with new explore pulse earbuds. Consumers confused what to buy because the inzone has: 12 hour vs 5 hour battery ANC vs no anc Both are lossless? Or is there a difference? 30ms latency vs lower? And for the ps5 user(consoles) both use ps software. Is the planar really worth it ? Which is more comfy for long periods of gaming? Too bad the explore pulse isn’t 250$ and include anc and 12 hour battery Thank you.
Thanks for this. These are perfect for PCVR. I take my headset off a lot while I’m simming and not having to remove over the ear headphones is great. The fact these have sidetone is also a big selling point. Especially for flight simmers.
100% on the sidetone. I got the Soundcore P10 VR usb-c gaming earbuds and returned them strictly because I couldn't hear my own voice. I hate that feeling
I have had these for a month now and the battery has already gone bad on one side (right). Battery life was phenomenal when it worked but now the right side doesn't charge up fully and drains much faster than the left. Sadly every Sony earbud I have owned has developed battery issues and they are all using Zenipower cells.
My first impressions.. right earbud doesn't turn on at all , reset light is weirdly different from others blue light (mine is orange) and doesn't fix the right side bud
I’ve been following you and enjoy the reviews. Bought the nova pro wireless headset last year and just bought the inzone buds. Are there any foam replacements for the Sony inzone buds yet? The silicone itches my ears after awhile. Otherwise they are comfy. Look forward to future reviews for tech
@@9to5toys So have been using them for a few hours. Very impressed with them. The white noise thing is being blown out of proportion. You can only hear it when ANC is on and even then it's very feint. There's no way you'd hear it even with low audio playing. Most ANC earbuds are the same that i've heard over the years.
Got mine today,been wanting an all around complete solution. However Early on I noticed no control on mobile and only SCC audio even tho it should be LC3
Can you do me a favor? Can you check if you can adjust the game chat audio balance in the ps5 menu during party chat. Some people have said that the option is greyed out
Should I get these or the Sony h9 over ears? Do these compare to those? I’d rather be wearing earbuds. But if over ear are way better than I’m going that route. Thanks
I’m guessing these will go great with the upcoming ps portal. Have you tried any FPS yet? Can you hear the direction footsteps are coming like you can on let’s say nova pro wireless? I know that’s not a fair comparison but those are so good for FPS
For positioning in an FPS I feel these are right on par with something like the nice pro wireless. Crazy to say for the price point but I think that’s why they took me by surprise
I really enjoy over the ear headphones but i have a lot of ear piercings and no headset i try makes it comfortable to use, always just pressing down on my piercing and makes it hurt and irritated. thinking these might be good to switch in between.
Question: say if I want to tweak custom equalizer preset for specific game on PS5 console, will that be transfered from Inzone HUB app on PC to earbuds and then use that specific equalizer on PS5 console? I know this was an issue with Inzone H series headsets
It doesn't unfortunately. Kind of an oversight considering you can't adjust the EQ at all on PS5 with these. I wish Sony would at least add a system wide EQ on PS5.
I personaly been using iem with az09 and antreec81 for almost 2 years now, think all up be less the 80 bucks these days, idont think these would provide any upgrade other than the battery time.
"best of all it comes in at $200" Really cause to me that sounds like the worst part of it 😅. The soundcore vr10 has had 2.4ghz dongle and costs a fraction of these tws.
I have the V10 and battery is only 4hrs when using the dongle and they don't have ANC. V10 are good though and probably better than the Razer or Logitech ones.
They charge fast, so you can charge them in the case conveniently when you do something else in the meantime, eating or something. I dont think most people will play 6 hours straight in a day
You cant have dolby atmos in 2 channel it only truly works with up firing speakers in home theatre systems. The Best any headphones or earbuds can do is 3d spatial audio. I hate when they say headphones have 7.1 surround lol it means 7 speakers and 1 sub.
Hello All, Thk U @9to5Toys for this review. I got mine since yesterday. Not tested yet with my PS5, as I was more concerned with the compatibility with my Android mobile phone. No LE Bluetooth on mine (I guess like most people these days), so I use the USB-c dongle. It works fine for the audio / music, but... but when I get a call they are disabled, as if it was a bluetooth audio speaker, and I have to take my phone to hear and be heard. Big desillusion. Does anyone meet same issue and know if there is a setting I missed somewhere please ? Thks.
Does anyone know if the Sony Inzone Buds have Simultaneous Audio. Meaning that the buds can connect to two devices at the same time and play both audio sources at the same time, not just switching back and forth between the audio sources
Quick question, do these have Wireless charging? I bought my Razer Hammerhead Pro Hyperspeeds for their USB-C and ANC, and while I feel the Sony Inzone buds might have slightly better audio quality, ANC and better battery life, I really enjoy the wireless charging on the Razer Buds as I can just throw them on the charger in between sessions and not have to worry about plugging them in.
I had non stop issues with razor hammerheads took them back been waiting on Sony to bring their own type out just want a decent mic and no disconnecting bs all the time don't know weather to get these or wait for the pulse set
I just got a pair and I’m having connection issues. Both earbuds keep connecting and disconnecting. And sometimes my right bud disconnects and never reconnects. Is there any way to manually shut them off of do I need to put them in the case every time they disconnect. They audio is great but this connection issue has been pretty frustrating. Also, people tell me every once in awhile my voice gets very robotic.
I've had similar connection issues with a few wireless audio devices, not just the Buds, when I have them plugged into my front (or top, in my case) I/O with other devices. Not even other wireless devices. Any other USB like an external hard drive. I'm unsure if it's the same situation for you but unplugging some things works for me.
I don't like what issues people seem to be describing I had inzone h9 headset worked well but I really just want a reliable set of buds might just be waiting for the pulse set
@@joedeli8254 did that help with connection issues as I'm having the same issue , and have you experience any white noise as i'm thinking mine might be faulty!
is there anyreason why my left earbud will disconnect randomly ON PC cant get them to last 5 minutes without one side of audio dying on me. been waiting for these forever and it really sucks that i cant even use them bc of the connectivity issues. cant find any solutions to the problem
How do they stack up with the jbl quantum tws? I’ve read about it and they seem to have bigger 10mm drivers compared to 8.4mm of the sony’s. But what about the sound?
Can't speak for the inzone buds but I'm looking to replace my jbl quantum tws because there's an extremely annoying issue where 80% of the time when you first put them in the audio is slightly desynced and there's a noticable echo, requiring you to take them out and re-pair them over and over until the issue goes away. The battery life is also poor at only 4-5 hours without any noise cancellation. EDIT: Got the inzone buds, they are better in every single possible way. They are more comfortable, you can actually customize what the touch controls do, the battery life is much longer and they don't have any syncing issues so far. Only buy the tws if you really need to save the money, it's worth it to get the inzones.
I am confused between razer hammerhead pro hyperspeed and Sony inzone... Mostly i am going to use it with pc multiplayer fps gaming... Currently inzone price is 20$ less than razer hammerhead.
@@LegendDavidReal excellent... I am using it for more than a month and can't tell any mentionable difference between my pulse 3d headset and these... And Noise cancelling is far better than pulse...
Earbuds can never adopt the replaceable battery solution that headsets have. An 11 hour usage time is still not enough to completely eliminate battery life anxiety.
Complete agree!
I'm on PS5 and pc and these are incredible sounding, especially if you go through the app sync process, that way it really gives you a customized tone and sound personalization.

I have the V10 and battery is only 4hrs when using the dongle and they don't have ANC. V10 are good though and probably better than the Razer or Logitech ones.
Are you still using them and do you like them?
Yes and yes 😄
I hope a company makes gaming buds with an actual good mic itd be an insta buy, not a fan of having a stand alone mic in my face
Love these but the main downside for me is if the battery does go out, you can’t charge and use like you can with a headset.
They charge fast, so you can charge them in the case conveniently when you do something else in the meantime, eating or something.
I dont think most people will play 6 hours straight in a day
@@RifetOkic yeah but there are times I have played all day. not too often. But I also don't know what the battery life is.
@@dannamanna99 Pretty good with 12 hours, i assume with 50% volume and ANC.
But 5 minute charge in the box ads 1 hour, thats pretty quick
So why is Sony releasing the Pulse? 🤔🤔
For more money
Do the Sony INZONE Buds include DTX or Dolby Atmos?
You cant have dolby atmos in 2 channel it only truly works with up firing speakers in home theatre systems.
The Best any headphones or earbuds can do is 3d spatial audio.
I hate when they say headphones have 7.1 surround lol it means 7 speakers and 1 sub.
Hello All, Thk U @9to5Toys for this review. I got mine since yesterday. Not tested yet with my PS5, as I was more concerned with the compatibility with my Android mobile phone. No LE Bluetooth on mine (I guess like most people these days), so I use the USB-c dongle. It works fine for the audio / music, but... but when I get a call they are disabled, as if it was a bluetooth audio speaker, and I have to take my phone to hear and be heard. Big desillusion. Does anyone meet same issue and know if there is a setting I missed somewhere please ? Thks.
Where is this app? I cannot find this app?
But would u go with buds of over ear covers if u had to choose? And why?
HI Anyone know if they save the audio profile on the buds. do I have to keep the software open to get the eq i set?
Can u use an adapter to use them on xbox series s im trying to get a pair of earbuds to use on all my consoles and use them for my phone also
Does anyone know if the Sony Inzone Buds have Simultaneous Audio. Meaning that the buds can connect to two devices at the same time and play both audio sources at the same time, not just switching back and forth between the audio sources
Is it usable with switch?
hi, the background noise is also present with the ANC turned off?
It is a defect you should get it replaced that’s not supposed to happen
Does it have voice passthrough? I hate talking when using headphones that make me sound muffled
i cant pass the song or pause on my pc with the inzone buds, the volume work bot not the configuration to pass songs or pause i dont get it

Quick question, do these have Wireless charging? I bought my Razer Hammerhead Pro Hyperspeeds for their USB-C and ANC, and while I feel the Sony Inzone buds might have slightly better audio quality, ANC and better battery life, I really enjoy the wireless charging on the Razer Buds as I can just throw them on the charger in between sessions and not have to worry about plugging them in.
Razer have 2.4 dongle?
I had non stop issues with razor hammerheads took them back been waiting on Sony to bring their own type out just want a decent mic and no disconnecting bs all the time don't know weather to get these or wait for the pulse set
@@markodorfy4376 Sony has a 1 month return policy no questions asked. No harm in trying these out
Does it have a button to mute the microphone?
I just got a pair and I’m having connection issues. Both earbuds keep connecting and disconnecting. And sometimes my right bud disconnects and never reconnects. Is there any way to manually shut them off of do I need to put them in the case every time they disconnect. They audio is great but this connection issue has been pretty frustrating. Also, people tell me every once in awhile my voice gets very robotic.
I've had similar connection issues with a few wireless audio devices, not just the Buds, when I have them plugged into my front (or top, in my case) I/O with other devices. Not even other wireless devices. Any other USB like an external hard drive. I'm unsure if it's the same situation for you but unplugging some things works for me.
@@9to5toys gonna give this a shot, i have it plugged into the front of the case. Thanks
I don't like what issues people seem to be describing I had inzone h9 headset worked well but I really just want a reliable set of buds might just be waiting for the pulse set
@@joedeli8254 did that help with connection issues as I'm having the same issue , and have you experience any white noise as i'm thinking mine might be faulty!
Where is all of the news updates on the pulse elite headset? No official release date or anything - getting antsy over here
is there anyreason why my left earbud will disconnect randomly ON PC cant get them to last 5 minutes without one side of audio dying on me. been waiting for these forever and it really sucks that i cant even use them bc of the connectivity issues. cant find any solutions to the problem
The anc is poor on these ear buds, you can hear the keys on the mouse and keyboard being pressed.
The biggest downside is after five days its still not allowing me to update the earbuds.
where can i find the update pls help me i'm having white noise and disconnection issues!
@@loloeshe
There must not be an update available.
Also, white noise is an issue with these earbuds.
I haven’t been able to adjust game and chat volume on ps5..can you not do that?
Will these work with the Portal?
How do they stack up with the jbl quantum tws? I’ve read about it and they seem to have bigger 10mm drivers compared to 8.4mm of the sony’s. But what about the sound?
Can't speak for the inzone buds but I'm looking to replace my jbl quantum tws because there's an extremely annoying issue where 80% of the time when you first put them in the audio is slightly desynced and there's a noticable echo, requiring you to take them out and re-pair them over and over until the issue goes away. The battery life is also poor at only 4-5 hours without any noise cancellation.
EDIT: Got the inzone buds, they are better in every single possible way. They are more comfortable, you can actually customize what the touch controls do, the battery life is much longer and they don't have any syncing issues so far. Only buy the tws if you really need to save the money, it's worth it to get the inzones.
When is the release date
Can you configure them from the Android app?
Hello between inzone h9 and earbuds what you think are the better ones for PlayStation mostly ?
Thank you
If you want more freedom of movement, less weight on your head, less humidness on your head. Then, go for the earbuds.
What is the app called
Can you use this with your phone? Do you have to use the adapter?
Did u even wwtch the vid he literally said it
Do they work for ps4?
ANC?
How do you get to this website!!!
This is gonna be great for summer when I don't want the headset covering my ears adding heat to my head.
If you game on a TV use AirPods Pro …it works better
@@thatguy_dirt_in_your_eye Too much audio latency with Bluetooth
Does anyone know if these buds work with PS4?
How do you get the inzone hub app on a android phone or say handheld Legion Go ?
Does the charge case have QI charging?
Will they work on Xbox series x
what about multipoint?
Can you use either just left or right side of the bud?
Yes
Do they work on iPhones as well?
Can I use them with a usb microphone on ps5/pc or would they interfere in some way? (Just bought the Nzxt capsule mini mic)
Yep you can use them with whatever mic you want to just have to go in settings and switch the mic
I am confused between razer hammerhead pro hyperspeed and Sony inzone... Mostly i am going to use it with pc multiplayer fps gaming...
Currently inzone price is 20$ less than razer hammerhead.
inzone
same here have u chose?
@@LegendDavidReal yes I bought Inzone earbuds...
@@waleedtayyab2527 how were they?
@@LegendDavidReal excellent... I am using it for more than a month and can't tell any mentionable difference between my pulse 3d headset and these... And Noise cancelling is far better than pulse...
Will these work with the PSPortal?
no
I wounder WHY there are some white noice there.. I got the one from Logitech and there are some white noice there as well.
Which one from Logitech? Usually this means the microphone is engaged
Earbuds can never adopt the replaceable battery solution that headsets have. An 11 hour usage time is still not enough to completely eliminate battery life anxiety.
