Sony InZone Buds - Better Than My Gaming Headphones?

[@mechabruh]

"Big shoutout to the Sony UK PR team" is a sick way to start a review of a Sony product

[@djacob9800]

Lmao I stopped the video when he said that and will be moving to a different review

[@SeriousClownLOL]

Loving my pair, been waiting for a device like this for years

[@WhatGear]

They are awesome. What EQ do you use?

[@SeriousClownLOL]

Bass boost of course@@WhatGear

[@simonerelpi5961]

@@SeriousClownLOL aumento dei bassi con audio spaziale attivo ? Anche per gli fps ?

[@WhatGear]

Apologies for calling the Pulse Explorer buds Pulse 3D buds... 🤦‍♂ Also an advantage I forgot to mention is if you wear glasses, you won’t have to worry about the arms creating pressure on your ears.

[@JadaKilla]

Choosing shipment as the map that you played on seems a bit crazy because you can’t hear anything at any specific angle because it’s consistent chaos 😂 Would have been good to know how good it picks up footsteps, in say a mode like search and destroy

[@NyteStalker89]

CoD has a shit sound engine regardless of map or headphones/earbuds

[@edenc.m4576]

Yeah that’s all I pay attention to, is the footsteps. That’s why my KD is good. I don’t follow ppl I just let the foot steps guide me for the kill

[@zanychelly]

Recently I got an Audeze Maxwell, and I’m looking for an earbuds, this one is now on my list.

[@ogxcoleman]

That was the most informative and funny review for the InZone Buds I ever have seen. Thanks mate and keep it up!

[@jayj9278]

3:35 good now I dont have to listen to my mom calling me when i am clutching the final round 😂

[@ivandarmawan9372]

I don't think the switch has Bluetooth LE Audio. The Inzone Buds only supports Bluetooth LE Audio, not Bluetooth LE. Bluetooth LE has become part of the bluetooth standard since bluetooth 4.0, so the switch does have that. Meanwhile LE Audio is a much newer bluetooth standard that currently only few flagship phones supports it. You can however use the usb-c dongle to use the buds with the switch.

Good review! One question: is the H9 and Buds dongle compatible or do I have to plug/unplug dongle every time I switch headset?

[@WhatGear]

Unfortunately you do have to switch the dongle

[@asan1050]

WhatGear, Thank you for posting.

[@Chino-in6ln]

I just got these today, when trying to connect to my s22 ultra , it says an app is need to connect to device .

[@godspeed646]

I don’t love when I see reviews like this it almost feels like ppl that get these kind of earbuds and review then don’t actually game game. Like the gameplay doesn’t really show off much. And they never talk about the actual in game audio with hearing people behind you and such. Regardless I need earbuds because I have a big head of hair and I broke my g pro wireless and overall I liked the audio I’m just so over the maintenance of having a full headset. I have an external mic so idc about that. I just neeed to be able to place fps’ and know when someone is behind me or above. So I’m going to try to get these soon, and hopefully I’ll reply here with my actual thoughts as a self proclaimed grimes gamer. Thank you

[@lindalezly2665]

so how were they for gaming

[@newbutthunt]

Best review of these buds on YT.

[@michaelbenhamo3130]

what about psvr2? Is it possible to connect the buds with bluetooth, or are there buds for psvr2

[@paulcipriano5807]

I only will use these on the ps5. My question is will any adjustments done on the hub transfer over to the ps5 or is it specifically for pc? Also do I need to do any updates on pc to make them better on ps5?

[@MrPazuzu]

Good question 👍

[@adithyaherath2000]

1:50 that's good one😅. Do you think these ear buds can be used as a daily driver ?

[@steel1973ss]

How good is the side tone feature ? I've heard some negative feedback on that feature

[@NxghtK]

Hello WhatGear, what is your opinion of which is better in different categories like general and gaming between Sony inzone buds vs the Sony MX5(i need to know whats the best earbud)

[@Rome19xx]

Can they be used with the Portal? It looks like the dongle will not fit.

[@pitster1105]

No they can’t unfortunately

[@TrickRickYT]

how is the mic?

[@ginorrmous]

I have two questions with these possibly. One, do you stream with these and if you do on ps5, how do you get the audio to play through your buds and also out through stream. In the past, I had to be on hdmi tv to get the audio to work through stream but then you lose the Spatial Audio that way on ps5

[@Scion142]

I ordered these. Have the InZone H9’s which are great. I plan to use these new buds with the PSVR2. The window AC in my small den is annoying, can’t stand the weight of the H9’s with the headset, and the PSVR2 wired buds don’t cut it. Hope they work!

[@Tricendo]

do you have them yet?

[@armstrongmillien5728]

I thought about doing the same thing too

[@mohitdhawan9266]

What's the comfort level compared to Apple airpods pro 2 ??

[@Uptownv]

these are great I prefer them over the pulse ones

[@lukasj123]

Hi! Just got Inzone buds.. i have a question though, pls do you also get some kind of white noise in them when they are quiet?

[@Minister_ds.kobiet_i_rownosci]

I also have white noise.

[@Elysian-III]

You should compare these with the ps5 pulsfire earbuds. I think that's what they are called...

[@devoltic8672]

so can you hear where gunshot and footsteps are coming from with the inzones? I’m guessing not since you didn’t mention it

[@mikeyy.神]

@@devoltic8672 most games have the surround sound feature in their in game settings, so u most likely can hear where footsteps and gunshots r

[@forteelgeek6830]

Is the apps also available for Mac?

[@seannightwal1765]

Aside from the PS5. Will this work with the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck?

[@mihainohai9214]

With Nintendo Switch it is working only with the dock plugged in - set it on PS5/Mobile

[@Ksass23]

Huh? You can use the pulse with any phone but which the Inzone buds you can’t use on all phones. Which is crazy cause the Inzone headsets work on all phones lol. I personally took my Pluses back.

[@ANTANTANT360]

These don’t connect to the Switch via Bluetooth.

[@okforce]

Can you use them for the playstation portal?

[@SniperGang369Tv]

Yes you can

[@okforce]

@@SniperGang369Tv this is not really true. You can use them with the portal only if you are in the same room with the dongle connected to the ps5,which is really not the typical usage of the portal. Sony really messed up all the earbuds… Also the inzone buds cannot be used with apple phones…Sadly,but not going to buy neither of the Sony buds, as there is not a model,which can be used with all possible devices…

[@Lukiro]

No, they should work on the switch even without the dongle, because the Switch supports LE Bluetooth

[@Kaliber863]

Can you do game/chat volume balance with these ? Im using my ps4 platinum headphones that do this and its a must for me

[@dirtypaws17]

You can, but from the sides. If you have a dualsense edge and u want to do it from there. It doesnt let you

[@DeAeolus]

hmm.... would you mind if I asking if it's can be connected to Nintendo switch?

[@adlerARD]

Yes, but only using the dongle

[@troymoney31tm]

Does it work with the PlayStation portal?

[@SniperGang369Tv]

Yea

[@TheSturtyT]

Chat?? A huge selling point for me on the Sony h9s is being able to use on board game/chat mixing. Do these have anything like that?

[@adlerARD]

I have had there for a little over a month. At first I thought you could only do it on PC but I realized you just have to set up the controls on the PC in the Inzone App. You can set your touch controls to pretty much anything, I have mine with the left bud related to chat/game. 1 tap adjusts it more to hear game volume, and holding touch goes the other way for chat

[@RifetOkic]

@@adlerARD can you still use the controllers mute button ?

[@RJ_Uploads]

Why does sony have to be so expensive, the prismxr vega t1 wireless earbuds are giving basically the same features besides the sony exclusive stuff, but this has great battery, hooks up to your ps5, pc, phone, occulus, etc with an app thats on yout phone, all for $49 compared to $199... its insane how far other companies have come compared to what sony is offering at there price.

I had these but had to return them due to left ear bud disconnection. The sound also was low on my cellphone (Samsung Galaxy Fold 4). That could be cause I used my dongle. The disconnect on the left ear bud on PC did irk me so I ended up returning. If they fix that issue I'd buy it again since I loved playing with earbuds instead of a headset.

[@abrahammedina5645]

When you had them connected to your pc, did you have other dongles/usb cables connected next to the inzone dongle?
