Thank you for the feedback! I had to take a little longer with my review because I know a lot of people try to beat the algorithm but for Sony's new attempts, I had to really feel these headsets out.
@@ALinctotheGear You did a great job. I'm tempted to buy the H7 ( don't care about noice cancelation ), but I really want that EQ for PS5. We will see how much sony will support this headsets with updates.
@@xenon_shrinky5645 Yeah... That's a shame that a feature like that is missing on their own platform but like I said in the video, I can't imagine they keep that feature away permanently. I'll be glued to those firmware updates as they come out 👀👀👀
Thanks for the feedback! As an active gamer myself on the 2 platforms, I knew it would be important to picture what it would be like to use the headsets for both PC and PS5. I appreciate the watch!
@@ALinctotheGear yes, but I was also interested on how these compared to the Pulse 3d. I'm interested in the Inzone H7. Based on your review the H7 are more comfortable and have better audio, but I'm curious which is more immersive(isolates from world). Do the H7's block out more background noise than the Pulse 3D?
Great to hear it! I'm doing a straight comparison video vs the Pulse 3D directly so if there's any questions on comparisons between the two, I'll cover it there 👍
Great review! I have Sony’s WH1000XM4’s I just plug them into my controller so that I don’t wake my wife up at night. Maybe I’m not getting spacial audio, but they sound good and I’m not spending an extra $300. For a subpar headset. LOVE the design but hate the price.
Really? There’s way better options at these price points and you deserve to get a better product than they’re selling… IMHO I think Sony is taking advantage of having the console market cornered and people are buying products from them for aesthetic’s because they match the console looks and color schemes. Sony has never made a good wireless gaming headset. I mean they have the technology there it’s just they don’t have to use it if they can get people to buy their junky hardware. I’m a Sony fanboy but they always use this cheap plastic (especially in their controllers PS4) compared to Xbox controllers that felt solidly built. You can take a PS4 controller in your hand and literally hear it squeak just by gripping it firmly. I just got my PS5 today and I love the new controller design and color scheme! Best innovation/design yet… and I’ve owned every PlayStation from 1 to 5, I haven’t played it yet because I’m tired from work but I hope the controller is built better than ps4 for $70+ dollars
Hey, great review. I didn't notice if you mentioned the sound on H3 while plugging jack to your PS5, someone says the headphone volume is lower than on PC. Is that true?
It is but that's to be expected from most wired headsets and I find the InZone 3 to be very similar to my Razer BlackShark V3 when plugged in. If volume is a concern, I'd recommend the Turtle Beach Recon 200 Gen 2 because they are amplified headsets that will definitely give you a kick in sound. The downside is that you have to charge them to get that boost but that's the price for BOOM! Amazon Link to Turtle Beach Recon 200 Gen 2: amzn.to/3T1LS9h
I appreciate the honest review… sorry thought you were gonna oversell these overpriced AliExpress quality Sony headsets?! I was like Nooo… but you came correct and I changed a negative to a positive. You got the 👍
That would all depend on your budget. I personally go back between the H9 and the Arctis Nova Pro. There's a new PlayStation focused headphone line coming this year which I look forward to reviewing that I feel will be the best because they promise lower latency and planar drivers, so more precise audio. Look out for those.
I covered it on comparing it to Sony's best ANC headset ATM, the XM5s. It doesn't work as good as those but I'm also in the middle of reviewing the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro and the H9s are better that those for what it's worth.
@@ALinctotheGear ANC and wireless is important to me. Didn’t like the nova’s but I’m also waiting to see how the sennheiser momentum 4s are when they come out next month. Aptx LL or Aptx adaptive should be good enough for gaming.
@@kruhl28 Yeah I could see that. Haven't personally tried anything outside of a 2.4ghz connection for gaming but I'm curious to see how those work out. What platform do you game on? PC I'm assuming?
@@ALinctotheGear yes PC. I’ve tried just about every wireless ANC headphones for gaming and none of them were perfect for me. My favorites were the new Beoplay portals for PC, but since their ear pads are circular instead of oval, they put pressure on my ears and they were too uncomfortable after a few hours of use.
@@kruhl28 I wanted to try those but at $500 when they came out, I figured the market for those would be too small to invest in making a video for them but I heard nothing but good things about them. B&O are so good in sound quality. Now you make me want to go out and try them 😂
Linc please help me, I’m torn between: Turtle Beach stealth 700 gen 2. SteelSeries Arctis 7p+ Sony Inzone H7 I mostly play destiny 2 on PS5. Thank you for any help.
The one advantage Turtle Beach has is an equalizer so for a game like Destiny, you can fine tune the sound to hear footsteps better. With that said, the price on the InZone H7 is killer and if Sony ever adds a native equalizer for the PS5, there's no question it'll be the best. In summary, the TB if you are hardcore competitive but I'd personally buy the H7.
Greay review 💯 very calming Edit : They sound horribly bad for ps5... Coming from Sony Platinum Heaset (50MM drive) they are miles away better than the Inzones... I guess well have to wait for EQ .. Ps: i play apex and footsteps cant be heard, 3d audio on or off ..
Anyone else think the H7/H9 somehow sounded worse on the mic test compared to the H3?? Also, great video Linc this was very helpful, straight to the point and extremely high quality as always keep it up man!
few days ago ı bought inzone h7 as it is suitable for my budget. over all i like it.. but one thing i felt it is missed which is the loud sound.. .. the highest point the scroll reach isn't as high as i expected.. ( for sure iwon't need that loud voice in many cases) but why not it is there anyway?
My favorite headsets right now are the Arctis Nova Pro. Keep in mind they have noise cancelling mics in the interior that pop out so depending on your ear size, it may run against it so that'll negate them. In the entry level, the Pulse 3Ds are probably the best since they get on device EQ but those earcups are smaller than most. I think the best middle ground are between the Turtle Beach 700 Gen 2 Max and the Artist Nova 7p. Both have headphone and Bluetooth playback at the same time. I like that TB has an app that lets you adjust the EQ for those that play multiplayer shooters but the headphone clamp strength was a little too much for me. The Arctis are just comfortable.
For the price of the h7 and h9 there is better choices out there on the market, a couple of studio headset and real mic is a better solution for me don't care about virtual surround sound if the stereo sound sounds better
I think they have room to fix a few things with an update and the mic is definitely one of them. I think they are good headsets and I hope you don't have to wait too long.
Dude, I was on calls via phone with his mic. It was very good actually. Compared it to the Nova Pro Wireless. I cannot understand all the negatives about the mic. However, maybe it’s different using windows.
Sony is *notorious for using thin, weaker plastic’s* for their official hardware unfortunately. I love the Sony ecosystem and just got my ps5 today… finally?! But their PS4 controller’s were cheaply built and the triggers weren’t durable compared to Xbox. The only thing I like about Xbox is their controllers… they felt chunky (in a good way) and built with better quality plastic. Hopefully they step up their game now that they have control of the market in console gaming. I’m too tired to play and it’s been a long day at work so I haven’t played yet. The controllers look and feel great and hopefully they built them to last at $70+?!!!
Yup and any accidents that can happen as I expect a person is looking to own these headsets throughout several years. Clearly if a person is very careful with their items then that's not an area for concern.
@@ALinctotheGear no being funny but if people are spending 200£ , just like me on a headset then its going to be looked after lol accidents are never going to happpen if people look after it, not like driving in which other people are to blame
@@lj4272 I understand your take but I also recognize that with billions of people on earth with a crazy mix of households and even temperament, the way that you would behave is not how others may behave. A dog, a cat, a small child, anything outside of a person's control can cause an accident. These things happen everyday but as I said before, if this doesn't apply to a person like you, then it's a point that you and others like you can ignore. 😃
I had the wired Logitech g pro x and got the H9 thinking I was upgrading. Nope, they were TERRIBLE. Hands down my $99 G Pro X sounded noticeably better and the mic on the G Pro X coupled with the blue icepop mic sounds night and day better than the H9. I couldn’t even recommend the H9’s even if they were on sale. Stay away from these iterations of Sony headsets, save your money and get something else.
@@deletedchanneI virtuoso XT is the best headset that I have personally tried but you have to get different ear pads for them. The stock ones are terrible. I got a set for like $15 on Amazon and they are phenomenal
Bottom line for the money at $150 for H7 and $280 for H9… there are much better options for the money. Sony doesn’t make good hardware and are notorious for using subpar materials with cheap thin plastic. Sony literally has the console market cornered and there’s no reason they shouldn’t be making better hardware?? They should team up with Apple considering they’re both competing against Microsoft in their own way… Apple makes the best wireless products IMO and literally invented the wireless earbud platform with a charging carry case… that all others copy now. If Sony/Apple teamed up it could put a dagger in the Xbox for console wars. I mean I was all in on the Xbox 360 as an official fanboy until the dreaded ring of death 💀!! The fact that Microsoft never made it right for the customers, and after 3 system failures I bought a PlayStation 3 and never looked back! Sony didn’t even charge to play online for the PS3 and had the blu-ray player so that was a no brainer. I just got my PS5 today and have been playing my original 1st/Gen PS4 that I got a few months after they came out! That’s an impressive life span for a system of 8yrs!! Hopefully the PS5 will last just as long and the new controllers look and feel sick! They’re a little lighter than I expected but only time will tell with a groundbreaking new design in haptic feedback if they’ll hold up… especially at $70+ for 1/controller?!?! Wtf Sony… but you’re innovating the hardware with haptic triggers so I can understand that… but $70/game!!!! No way… this is going to put GameStop back on the map 🤣 get your stock early! Eh, get it… stock and GameStop
Very nice review, thank you! I’m searching for step-up for Pulse 3D in terms of sound quality and comfort. I was able to test them via BT from my iPhone and wasn’t impressed even after AirPods Pro. I was also able to test wired ATH-PDG1 and it was mind blowing experience. So I’m kinda frustrated now. I’m really used to wireless experience, but THAT wired sound quality… Will I loose so much sound by choosing Inzone H7 over wired variant? To be honest, wired headphones was connect via amplifier during my test session, but 🥹
I been looking at a lot of videos to see if I want to get these headphones and you had the best review out all the videos I watched.

Please tell me if you can mute from the ps5 controller though? Or is it only by flipping the mic up on headset.
No you cannot. I posted a screenshot through Twitter on how it looks.
