[@James-fv1cm]

Does the corsair support ps5 and iPhone connectivity simultaneously by any chance?? If so I’ll have to get these ones instead of the H9. I love the fact on the h9 I can connect my phone and PS but if the mic sound is really bad no way am I paying nearly £300

[@boredandagitated]

Does the mic cancel noise? My house is pretty noisy

[@konduita]

I’ve just bought mine and the mic is not as bad as I feared. Also a surprise once I updated them via inzone hub - mic sounded better than out-of-the-box (sound feels more full and not so hollow). They are not as good as my old cooler master mh752s, which is kind of obvious. Wired headset will be lighter, sound better with better mic. For a wireless headset inzone h9s are great. They fit my head great, I can wear them for hours and not feel tired. The main con is definitely the lack of inzone hub on ps5. Something to improve for sure.

@@onuridvan I think both have been great for fps honestly. The HS80 is really good for PC since I love the Dolby profile you can use with it for fps. They sound amazing. The H7 is probably my preferred choice for ps5 though since they work well with the PlayStation spatial audio tech.

[@reneiribarren3647]

Hi, in my case confort is the most important since I game for extended sessions, but I also play fsp with friends so mic is the 2nd most importa thing, with that been said would you pick the h7 or the corsair, corsair mic sound impressive but how comfy are vs the h7?

I didn't even know the Arctis Nova Pros had it before I bought them. I have not turned it off since I got them.

The Inzone’s are a perfect upgrade for anyone looking for something more then the crappy 3D Pulse headset, but not without its flaws, the only major issues I see with the headset for most people are the mic quality and the price point, other then that it’s a excellent option for PS5 and in my opinion worth $300

[@Capo_jc21]

Valid take . Although the 3D sounds are good for those games like Madden or FIFA and racing . Not shooting games . I will try these out

You could buy beats bluetooth headphones/headsets for same cost or even cheaper and use them with whatever you want, way better sound and mic input.

[@holynito2009]

why dont you compared the mic with GSP 670 ??

[@Tyler-sl6vg]

I didn't realize it buying the Arctis Nova Pros but the ANC is actually game changing. Especially with the AC on... I couldn't play properly with AC on before. Not surprised to hear Sony ANC is a little better. I had some XM400 or something for a while and you couldn't hear yourself snapping in front of your face. Be interested to see sound quality with the Nova Pros vs this - because for 50 dollars CAD more it seems like you are getting a shit load more with the DAC and the switchable battery on the SteelSeries set. I always hate plugging things in to charge.

[@Hijynx87]

I'd say Novas are better according to a lot of reviews comparing. I'm biased though, as I love SS headsets.

[@demonyomalluko9745]

[@Milyc]

Does 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.

[@Deltax5]

Can you sink up the ps5 controller and headset on the PC side. Does it have software for that? I know the PC adapter for the Xbox supports up to 8 devices. I haven't tried if the headset works with it as well. And how it works. iv had a headset that didn't work very good. if it can take voice chat and play audio and do it correct i am all good with that. Just something on the list...

[@JimIBobIJones]

How loud an environment do you need to live in for ANC to even be a factor for gaming headsets? Having ANC on will always have a noticeable impact on audio quality and resolution (as the drivers are constantly playing inverted soundwaves as well as the audio you want to hear) - it isn't something you want on unless you need it. Unless you actually need ANC whilst gaming, you are paying for a feature that is ideally turned off...
