Sony INZONE H3 PC Wired Gaming Headset - Black

good headset

grease/fingerprint stain easily and hard to clean without creating more! and v bulky but thats fine, other than that pretty good love the inzone hub and the customisation available and love that it comes with presets for different types of games and normal video/music watching

Good item, weird supporting software

The headset is excellent, great sound, much drama added through immersion. The supporting software is jank. Inzone Hub software keeps trying to manage my monitors HDMI connection and turning it off (and yes, all updated, all options set not to do this etc). Why does software to manage a USB connected device even need to interfere with a graphics card hdmi output? Solution, do not install Inzone Hub software.

Inzone H3, good bang for buck!

Great pair of headphones for gaming. Work really well with PS5 with it's spacial audio capabilities. Works well on PC too, with the Inzone app, plenty of customisations with EQ settings etc. Only grip is the wire doesn't feel the most durable, so will need to see how long it lasts as it proprietary and cannot be removed.

Good headset - Add PSVR2 on PC INZONE Hub support

The headset seems good quality, it's a bit bulky than my previous Sony Pulse 3D headset. I found these to be more comfortable than the PlayStation Pulse 3D headset. The spatial sound with the presets applied are a noticeable improvement, I always have the Music/Video preset enabled for regular media playback. The cabling is a bit thin, you'll want to be careful not roll up the cable or let it become tangled. If you use it without the included USB DAC, connecting it with an angled 3.5mm adapter might avoid the cabling from becoming damaged over-time. I bought this for the INZONE Spatial Audio features, most usage is in media playback and some gameplay. The presets in the INZONE Hub are simple to use. The USB DAC included is a bit like having an extension cable so it's easier to route it from the back of the computer to the front of the desk. Unfortunately unlike using Dolby Atmos, it's not possible to use the INZONE Hub app without connecting it to the included H3 USB DAC. If you try connecting the headset to the PSVR2 3.5mm jack while using it on PC, the HUB software does not recognize the Official PSVR2 PlayStation PC adapter (CFI-ZVP1) as a compatible DAC (although the PlayStation PC adapter is probably a bit better quality than the one included since it's made for SteamVR). In this instance, to enable Spatial Audio you would have to default to using Windows Sonic Spatial audio for Headphones like any other standard headphone or buy optional add-ons from Dolby Atmos/THX/DTS:X for Headphones etc to enable Spatial Audio features (when connected using a PSVR2) or have connect via the USB DAC (but that may present a trip hazard while using VR). My feedback is to add the Official PlayStation VR2 PC Adapter (CFI-ZVP1) as a compatible USB DAC for the INZONE Hub app so that wired 3.5mm Sony headphones like the INZONE headsets and Pulse 3D headsets can be customised using the INZONE Hub. If you keep it at a desk most of the time and don't need it to be portable, these would do fine for most people.

Fantastic for video calls!

I bought this to be comfortable with many video calls and meetings each day. I was looking for something ultra comfortable, with great sound quality and would connect to a 3.5 jack. This headset, although for gamers, is perfect!!! Soft as a cloud, clear as a bell.

Really comfortable and versatile.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Find myself just using them as standard headphones all the time and find really comfortable when using for long periods of time. Especially like the little volume wheel on the left cup, do wish more headphones came with that as it's just regular analogue control with no delay for the device to respond to a volume command. Do wish the cups could fold in like the WH-XB910N as if your on the go would make easier to store away in a bag. Do like the mic, isn't fixed so can rotate out the way and has a flexible rubber arm for adjusting perfectly. Very much like the USB to 3.5mm jack adapter included, but wish the cable on the headphones (which is a standard 4 pole 3.5mm jack thankfully) was a bit longer. Just a really nice comfortable headset that can wear for hours that have really good sound. Really happy with them, they are my go to headphones (I have a few)

Great immersive gameplay sound but with niggles

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wearing these headphones for several gameplays, 'Warhammer', 'Sniper Ghost Warrior' and 'The House of Da Vinci 2'; the sound quality was particularly good, and I felt immersed & 'in' the game. Whilst each gameplay had its merits, great sound & effects; the best for me was the adventure puzzle game where the soundtrack was entwined with the sound effects; I felt unaware I was wearing the headphones and became totally immersed 'In the Zone'. There are a couple of downsides to the headphones: they are wired, and as such present issues regards the microphone - it must be worn on the left side if it is to be engaged and used at all. Incidentally I used them for a Zoom setup too, they worked well but again the microphone must be worn on the left - I can see no way round this. Apart from those issues I would certainly recommend them for sound quality and surround immersion; if Wi-Fi were an option, I would choose wireless. N.B. With wired, the lead with the USB connector is long enough, at approx. 2.5 Meters, to accommodate most requirements.

Not too old to be surprised.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the earphones to be comfortable, light and quite intuitive to use. There is most certainly a bias towards the treble end of the sound but this did not, for me, detract from the quality of the sound. I suppose we have all been spoilt of late and I found working with a wired connection to be tiresome and inconvenient. However, I do recognise there is a significant cost saving over the Bluetooth equivalent. However, personally, despite the inconvenience of the cable I would prefer to own a quality product with a lead than an inferior one which uses Bluetooth. I acknowledge that I have no previous experience of gaming systems using headphones but I was pleasantly surprised by the added dimension and did find it added another level of immersion. I am a 76 year old male but this not detract from my use and significant enjoyment of modern technology. In particular I have used Sony products ever since the late sixties when your sound systems led the way.

Great headset for enhanced Gaming Experience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a very enthusiastic gamer, and use these with my PlayStation 5. I use these nearly every night and have found these to be a great addition to my gaming experience. This headset is very comfortable to use, unlike others that I have previously owned. There is very clear sound on these which also improves the gaming experience. I like that the microphone stick is adjustable so when not in use I can move this out of the way very easily. There is an adjustable volume button on the actual headset so easy accessible when needing to adjust volume quickly instead of having to go to settings and change which is time consuming especially when in the middle of an intense game. I really like the look of these headphones aswell they are a great addition to the PS5 gaming system. The only negative thing I would say about this product is that when gaming for a long period of time they do get quite warm on your ears and I do need to adjust them to cool down. Overall this headset is a great addition to your gaming console definitely the best I have had so far.
