Sony INZONE Buds Review ... Game Changer???

[@littledelicious4022]

I love this video, thank you for a review that doesn’t sound like kissing up to Sony!

[@JustinAfterDark]

Hey thanks!! I really appreciate that! Never want to come off that way. Appreciate your watch and you being here!

Great video man. I had both the inzones buds and the pulse explore earbuds, and I chose to stick with the pulse because for me the lack of compatibility with standard bluetooth by the inzones was just a deal breaker for me. While they did sound great, I think people have truly underestimated how amazing the sound of the planar magnetic drivers on the pulse truly sound. Even though the battery life isn't the best on the pulse most people haven't even mentioned the fact that you can fully charge them in just 40 minutes which is a major plus in my book. I don't think you can go wrong with either earbud at the end of the day, but for me the pulse are phenomenal and definitely were worth the price. Also when wearing the pulse I think a lot of people didn't realize that the ear tips have to form a seal in your ear and also you have to download the EQ that Sony released almost 2 months later and trust me it makes the earbuds sound like night and day. Keep up the good work 👍

Dude this is an awesome comment! I'm so glad to have your perspective. Yeah that lack of traditional BT on the INZONE buds is... So lame. Also, I totally agree with you 💯 about the pulse explore. Man, they sounded so so good. Like underrated good. Lol I am happy you have something that works for ya! And seriously thanks for being here and watching!

[@TheColdest247]

@@JustinAfterDark One question I have about inzones buds that I didn't get a chance to check out and maybe you can tell me is. I've heard that anything that you do on the EQ on your PC doesn't carry over to the PS5. Is this true?

[@JustinAfterDark]

Unfortunately, from my testing, it is true. The controls on PS5 are super limited with the Inzone buds. The Pulse explore is the way to go if the eq is what ya need on the PS. This is a great question. Sorry I didn't cover that.

[@TheColdest247]

@@JustinAfterDarkThanks for the response. It seems like the inzones are catered more towards the PC player in mind.

[@freelancer1499]

@@TheColdest247 Can I check with you if the EQ settings on the Pulse explore carry over to the PC? I do not own the PS5, game on the PC but want to get a taste of planar buds. I can use my friend's PS5 to do the tuning. Any chance u can share the EQ settings u used with your pulse explore? Thanks!

[@loitersquadX]

I will say this, these buds are perfect for so many reasons beyond gaming. I had the explore. Buds, pulse elite headset and now these. Pulse explore buds were so close to being my favorite. But the issue was bass, battery, and the overall sound. They were really good but not great. The elite headset is great but the issue is the bass, and i cant take them anywhere since they look funny. On top of that they are a little cheap feeling. Now. These inzone buds have alot of issues. First off no multi point connection SUCKS. The Bluetooth is sorta weird. And i HATE that its not able to be on xbox. Other than that. They sound 100% perfect guys. Im not a huge fan of earbuds but trust me these have clarity, bass, and they are still versatile. Just learn to use them and it's perfect. I dont like to give 10/10 often but after playing music and listening to reviews and then playing ratchet and clank. Yes these are amazing guys. Wear them to game, and even when you're out and about you dont have to sacrifice look or sound

[@matthewallman3500]

Mine aren't getting scratched because I take them out and put them directly back in the case.

[@JustinAfterDark]

Wow, so nice of you to say. I really appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching this and being here!

[@polyento3535]

The actual best wireless BUDS I've ever had. I use it mainly for gaming and the delay time is unnoticeable compared to other buds.

[@JustinAfterDark]

Glad they are working out for ya! The minimal delay is fantastic for buds. You mainly use them through PC or PS?

[@polyento3535]

@@JustinAfterDark PC and phone, Dongle for PC, bluetooth for Phone. Minimal delay is amazing since I play a lot of FPS games. It took me a while and tried various ear buds before finding Inzone.

[@scottishandyb]

Thank you for the review. Have you used them on party chat while gaming. Are they any good for it?

[@lolinie]

Connection issues are horrible, i guess u got the lucky earbuds, i read so much about connection issues and it not being able to be fixed, i tried resolving my issues myself, i got them 2 days ago and have been so many connection issues, tried everything like 10x times and my left earbud keeps either fully disconnecting or just losing sound and still being connected...

[@JustinAfterDark]

Oh man! I'm so sorry to hear that. It's totally possible I got a well built pair. Yeah, I can't say I've run into anything terrible like that. Since making this video I did have one time where the right ear bud had some trouble connecting to the dongle. Had to throw it in and out of the case a few times but it seems to fix it relatively quickly. Really am sorry to hear it though. Hope whether you keep these or not you find the audio device you're looking for.

[@loloeshe]

I have the same my left earbuds keep disconnected and sometimes the right one I believe it’s a software issue which i hope the fix it soon because returning my earbuds is not an option for me. I’ve found out that my earbuds only disconnect while I’m gaming and using discord at the same time ( on pc btw) . There is one thing i found on youtube video he claims to fix the problem you can try buy a Type-c extension and try to place the dongle away from usb wires. Excuse my language English is not my first tongue.

[@JustinAfterDark]

Dang, sorry to hear this. I will say, if you have any other dongles in the same USB vicinity as the buds dongle, such as a mouse or keyboard, It may be worth it to try another USB area as the connections could be causing interference on each other. In which case that extender you mentioned could help too as it will give more space. Either way , sorry to hear it and would love to know if you find a resolution for anyone else running into this.

[@loloeshe]

@@JustinAfterDark I can confirm that the type-c extension fixed my problem with the disconnection issue finally. btw I''ve placed the dongle as far from my pc case and wires.

[@inexperiencedknife]

Is that happening on your phone or PS5?

[@CalleoPelias]

I have a Samsung tab s9 ultra, which doesn't show lc3 or le in the codecs. Is there any way to check?

[@JustinAfterDark]

The profiles show "TMAP" under your devices specs on Samsung's site. This is the profile the codec sits under, though not specific enough for us to tell. I found one other source showing le audio being able to be used on the tab s9 ultra. Which I'll link below. But how reputable the site is, I'm not sure. I understand the frustration here, it's truly a shame companies have such a problem listing these kinds of basics on their sites or an easy way to see in the mobile devices settings. I really wish I could be more helpful in this, though I feel I'm probably stuck with the same lack of available info as you. m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_s9_ultra-12217.php#:~:text=Samsung%20Galaxy%20Tab%20S9%20Ultra%20Android Let us know if you find your answer. And how you did. Thanks for being here!

[@athiz27]

hi, sony has just released a new firmware for the inzone buds, do you know if it fixes white noise and bass cancellation with ANC disabled? THANKS

[@JustinAfterDark]

Honestly I haven't heard much of a difference since the update. I'll do more in depth testing and if I find anything I'll let ya know. Seems the new update is more for the integration of the Sony Headphones App.

[@danielkenny847]

They sound great when u no how to set up a eq

[@Peoky_01]

I just bought the earbuds and I can't figure out how to get audio.

[@Peoky_01]

The audio works good for my phone but for my PC it doesn't work.

@@loitersquadX yes, i have to unistall the app to make it work

[@jayner2020]

check your phones my Samsung did not support it. I mostly game but use my phone with earbuds about 20% of the time. I really wanted to go with these. I had to return them. at this price point is should support other audio codecs.

[@JustinAfterDark]

I agree with you. I wish it did or at least there was more transparency around it. I hope you end up finding something that works for you. If you do, let us know what you end up with.

[@soartykkkk1396]

Hello guys I really want to buy these, but here are 2 questions I really worry about does samsung s23 ultra support LE audio? I've seen reddit discussion about it, where people said no, but next forum sais that with oneui 6.1 I actually can connect LE audio device to the phone But here's the second thing can I use both connections without switching them? like steelseries arctis headsets does

[@JustinAfterDark]

Hey Soarty, Thanks for being here! I had a hard time trying to track down a traditional spec sheet for the s23 Ultra. The one I eventually found shows Bluetooth LE connection capable but it's possible this connection is just used for the S pen. Hopefully someone here with an s23 Ultra can give us more context on this. Secondly, and given that your phone supports LE audio, the buds will pair to two devices at once, but you can't listen to two devices at the same time. It will auto switch for phone calls if you have that set up in the PC app but, in my further testing it can be hit or miss. If you're rocking between PC and PS5 I suggest looking into the Pulse Explore, as you can hear both sources at the same time and there should be no issues with Bluetooth on majority of phones.
