The verdict

The Sony INZONE H9 II is a comfortable, well-built FPS gaming headset that offers effective ANC, decent battery life, and solid gaming performance, but struggles to justify its $350 price tag. The FPS-tuned sound requires EQ tweaking for music and other game genres, and you can get most of these same capabilities in headsets costing $100-200 less.
