Lab data
How we test ›Objective measurements from the SoundGuys test lab — overlay other models to see how this one compares.
Sony INZONE BudsSoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve
Measured frequency response (dB relative) against the SoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve. When the measurement goes above the dashed line, that frequency is louder than our preference curve, and when it goes below: it's quieter. Use the curve for comparison purposes only, as your taste may vary.

The verdict
Without support for standard Bluetooth, these earbuds aren't compatible with most devices, and therefore aren't very versatile. That said, if you are looking for earbuds to exclusively use with your PS5 and PC, you could consider the Sony INZONE Buds.
✓Liked: Good sound, Battery life, Low latency, Strong ANC
✕Could be better: No regular Bluetooth — LE only, INZONE Hub only supported on Windows
