I'M CONFLICTED! New Playstation Pulse Elite Headset vs Sony INZONE H9...(HONEST REVIEW)

[@CKidM]

What up #PS5Gang! So I had to put these two up against each other! Was I wrong for putting 2 Sony products up against each other??? Oh well it's out there! 🤣 Sony INZONE H9 - howl.me/clFaOoxUK8K Playstation Pulse Elite Headset - howl.me/clFaMk8qIR1 Playstation Pulse 3D - howl.me/clBucwdw0Vp Sony Inzone Buds - geni.us/sonyinzonebuds Playstation Pulse Explore - howl.me/clcHnOO9YGP

[@mral4381]

No conflict. Sony is nasty woke. The consumers will respond to this reality in time.

[@ZpHyC0]

You forgot to add on the elites that you don't have to pull out the mic to talk with either or on game or party chat. The con of it you do sound a bit muffled without messing with the microphone settings

[@I_am_mario009]

Bro the noise cancellation on the elites are god tier

[@CKidM]

Man ain’t they!!! They are so good.

[@AllDayErrDay.]

Finally. Someone comparing these 2 directly.

[@TheDaveTCMD]

11:39 is absolutely nuts. Game changer

[@pitster1105]

Three words: Planar Magnetic Drivers That and dual conectivity. These two features make the PULSE Elites and PULSE Explorer superior to any Inzone gaming audio devices. In my opinion

[@amskon5897]

Got my pulse elites last weekend, absolutely love them.

[@CKidM]

Yes they are solid especially for the price

[@matthew9739]

I hear people having connection issues with them and they break easy are they good quality have you had any issues I’m thinking of picking the elites up

[@ThePhenomf4]

Great breakdown! I’m bass sensitive so I don’t need the extra bass the H9’s provide. My wallet is thankful 😂. You got me on the Pulse Elites with your previous videos and I gotta say thanks. Sony, hook our boy up with some all black Elites. He deserves it and more.

[@azarfe11Life25]

Good video man You should really do a review for the Maxwell Wireless Gaming Headset. If anyone's going to spend $300 on a headset and you want pristine quality as far as sound you're not going to get anything close to sound quality as good as a Maxwell gaming headset.. The mic is average but what you can hear as far as distinct sound when you're gaming The only thing that comes really damn close are those pulse elite which are definitely lighter and better for longer gaming sessions. As far as all around gaming headset though those Maxwell with the detachable mic and the 80 hour battery life It's my go-to even when I use when I'm just traveling because they just look like a regular headset when you when you detach the mic..

[@CKidM]

Yea I’m trying to get my hands on those headphones but they are sold out everywhere. But I do want to try them really bad.

[@jamesstevens968]

Hi I regret buying the audeze maxwell I've had mine for five months and they been sitting on my desk for four months now there too too too heavy for every day usage and there bulky and there not comfy I'm coming from the astro a50x but I've had the elite pulse for about a week now and they been my every day driver and the comfort is second to none stay safe and happy gaming to all

[@azarfe11Life25]

@@jamesstevens968 yeah I know that's one of the things a lot of people complain about is how heavy they are I've had pretty heavy headphones before as never really been a problem for me I think cuz I have a big head lol. What happens

Anyone dealing with disconnects with the Elites???

[@otsoga0105]

I had like 2-3times before doing this. Try clearing cache and rebuild database, I did this and so far no disconnects.

[@willylumplump7405]

I have both and love them for a lot of the reasons you covered in this video. But I do have an issue with the Pulse Elites because they keep disconnecting after about an hour of gaming, which my Inzone H9's never disconnect.

[@rivec33]

I just got them yesterday and they disconnected once. I was hoping it was just a random hiccup but after reading this I’m worried it’ll keep happening. You have an easy way to fix it quick or do you have to reconnect them to the dongle?

[@willylumplump7405]

@rivec33 I have been looking for a fix. I've tried making sure there aren't a lot of other devices causing interference, but that has not worked. The only thing to do as far as reconnecting is taking the dongle out and putting it back in. There is nothing more frustrating than playing a game like Helldivers 2, and your headset disconnects. My Inzone H9 have never disconnected and nether have my Inzone earbuds, just the Pulse Elite.

[@rivec33]

@@willylumplump7405 I read in a reply to a comment down below someone said they cleared the cache and rebuilt the database on their ps5 and it hasn’t disconnected since. Might be worth a try.

Well, they need to do is upgrade the H9 via USB-C cable.

[@derpy_derp_boy7714]

[@Jdb63]

For $300 get the Audeze Maxwells or Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro. The Pulse Elite is a steal for $150 but at $300 the H9s are outclassed by multiple other headsets

[@glennbarret-jy5ut]

Cool video, dude. Also, where did you get your glasses? I want a pair

[@davethestalker]

The mic in my H9 is getting wonky and I do not have access to emai serverl and the Squarw Trade warranty

[@jonathanmoraga5648]

Hello, Good video, One question, Before I used the pulse 3d and I played a lot of warzone, For me the pulse 3d were already perfect, I heard the steps super clear and the direction where everything was coming from was super better, With these I feel that the sound in Yes it is good but in those aspects such as hearing footsteps or the direction of noise I feel worse than the previous ones. If you have any special configuration I would greatly appreciate it? It is important to mention that I have the warzon configured well, thank you

[@ismaeldelacruz9549]

Honestly seen so many Tech Reviews not gona lie and you KILLED THIS review!

[@LRon-ef7ni]

Thanks. I was thinking about getting the Elites as a second headset but i also prefer punchier bass from my headphones. H9 still sounds amazing.

[@CKidM]

H9's are so legit!

[@caliginousmoira8565]

boomy or clean bass..... try some sony (wired) headphones. $300 though. the others are too boomy bassy not sub bassy lol

PlayStation needs to address the constant disconnect issues on the elites. It’s really bad, I’ll have to return my pair. Hopefully there is an update.

[@DR19X]

Is it still an issue?

Mine did that too it’s well annoying. Mine are now in the bin unfortunately because the headband snapped after only 7 months . gutted. 🤬I’m here contemplating buying the H9s Cheers 👍🏻

[@JoyfulAvenger]

Thx for your videos, dude! Thanks to your videos, I ended up with the H9. They’re pricier, but in the end you saved me a couple of «bad» purchases 😅

[@MrMorton2u]

The mic on the Elite's sounded slightly better to me.

[@pernamore4224]

The only thing about the h9's are the eq settings...there are none. Only on pc and doesn't stay with them

Yea it’s unfortunately only for PC.

[@onthahushproduction]

CKid did you have a problem with updating your H9 headphones? Mines keep saying no connection please check the USB connection. I've tried different ports but get the same problem. So I'm stuck on the default setting on the H9.

[@Morgen123asdsadsad]

[@CiNiSTa]

The H9 is the true way to play a shooter..many time the audio was key to getting put of situation ls or suriving and i even saved ppl with just the realistic close audio and noise canceling.

[@casaldana]

I thought you'd recommend the Elites for competitive FPS since the spacial audio would help pinpoint enemies on the map. I'd go the other way around with the more immersive experience being good for story games.

[@howdareyou5800]

the inzone h9 for immersive experience you recommend?

[@Rushsero]

I wonder what your oppinion is between the Inzone H5 and the pulse elite. They are both 150 dollar. So maybe a bit more fair comparisson?

[@edulohay956]

The inzone H5 sound pretty similar to H9. It is double the price because you get extra features like active noise cancellation and bluetooth.

[@victorpitan8744]

Nice one! However, I would choose the Elite for its superior battery life. The ear cups are adjustable and comfortable, but I hope to see third-party cases available soon. 👍

[@cazinca]

Great review/comparison

[@xcavemann6374]

How do both headsets sound on COD? Is the footstep audio clear and loud?

[@clawson32104]

The Pulse Elite have far better imaging to pickup sound details. Check out Joe@Gadgetry Tech as he has a custom FPS eq setting that works perfectly fine for shooters with the Elite

[@ChillCollins616]

You say wobbly but they aren't coming off... they seem pretty damn solid tbh.

Do you have the Elites by chance? If you have them then you would understand exactly what I mean by wobbly.

Why you focus so much on wobbly ear cups? It doesn’t matter at all. It doesn’t say anything about build quality because ear cups adjust. It’s anecdotal. And ain’t nobody going with either of these headsets outside. Especially not h9 with huge boom mic. These are straight home only headsets

[@godzsoldier7796]

I’ve tried many headphones and can’t seem to get a good sound out the PlayStation I guess the good sound everyone reviews them for is for the pc cause is just not loud enough for me

Does the Pulse Elite or the Inzone H9 allow you to adjust the volume through the PS5 menus? I have been using the Pulse 3D but these options are always greyed out and the sound is really not loud enough in many games.

[@-gerardo-6065]

Te H9 does it

[@SadSatan11]

Its been a while since i bought the Pulse 3d's and the H3's, and here i am looking for an upgrade. So, I liked the 3d's audio but after a small period of time (1 hour or less), the feeling of my head and ears being squeezed showed up, only to be followed by a headache, so it is a big NO NO to the Pulse Elite's because they look like they're going to squeeze my brain out 😂. And the H3's... Never felt something so comfortable for my ears, no squeezing, no compression, no ears hurting... and I've used them for HOURS, and when i say HOURS i mean 6-8 hours a day, cycling between gaming, music, podcasts, KZbin etc etc. Until today I wasnt sure about the H9's because of how expensive they are, but now with my experience with the H3's and P3D's and your video I finally decided to buy them. Big thanks, and sorry for my bad England.

[@carbonm2]

I think you missed being able to mute the Elite with the controller. Easy to see it's muted as well.

[@DistinctionDino]

You can mute any headset with the controller on ps

[@carbonm2]

@DistinctionDino you are wrong. This function doesn't even work with Sony's own Pulse 3D. Try to activate, and PS5 tells you the function doesn't work with the current audio device. I literally just tried it to confirm.

[@DistinctionDino]

@@carbonm2 I literally do it all the time just press the mute button on the controller

[@clawson32104]

​@@DistinctionDinoit doesn't mute my Arctis Nova 7x or Razer Blackshark V2 Pro. Definitely mutes my Pulse Elite though

[@DistinctionDino]

@@clawson32104Well Idk I just tried my old artic 7's, razer kaira, audeze maxwells and plugged in my old astro a40s into the bottom of the controller. Every single one of these muted could be muted through software by pressing the mute button on the controller.

[@joelrut9749]

Can you use the Inzones with rhe PS Portal?

[@CKidM]

Yes as long as you are in the proximity of your PS5. You can plug the dongle into your PS5, and stay in range because your PS5 is still pulling audio that is synced with your PS Portal. But if you’re not near your PS5 it will not work. Only the Pulse Elites and the Pulse Explorers will natively work with the Portal.

[@joelrut9749]

@@CKidM thank you so much!

[@vilzon7845]

Yeah its really personal, i got the h7 and it was a disappointment 😢 (i were using hyperx cloud alpha s) the "comfort" everybody were talking about i didnt get (compare to hyperx). The "type" sound it gives - also. I personal prefer more natural, less base boosted sound which the hyperx gives me. And when i got pulse elite i like it. It turned out it has even less bass/lows than cloud alpha s Ppl who want more base - go get inzone h5/7/9 Ppl who want more flat/natural sound can go buy hyperx cloud alpha s ( its balanced, "highs" are not so up like pulse elite and has bass slaider on the headset itself, i use it on middle) + the best comfort between all 3 - the issue can be that its not wireless And ppl who want wireless headset and the sound in more natural way (highs are a bit too bright) But it can be changed in the EQ settings My personal for pulse elite is: BASS +2, LOWS + 1, MIDS 0, UPPERS - 1, HIGHS - 1 It gives pretty balanced sound And - it can has some software issues, and not such a comfort the inzone and hyperx gives. Aside from that its pretty good headset 👌 So be carefull to not chose a wrong one 😅

[@TheOneYoungKing]

which of the two are PS portal friendly?

The elites will connect directly to the portal. The H9 won’t without some sort of adapter to plug into the 3.5 jack.

Pulse elites let me be a fat*** and eat right into the mic, people talking in the background or family tv blasting 5 feet away = no problem. Audio is different as far as adjusting, I prefer the pulse 3ds reg drivers which sound punchy out of the box for pubg, the pulse elites sound much different and clean, definitely have to adjust the volume higher and eq settings.
