I think the Sony Inzone H5 is a comfortable wireless headset with nice sound. The sound from the earcups is clear and the microphone is also great. It's just a shame that the battery life is on the short side.
First impression I take the Sony Inzone H5 out of the box and immediately notice that the headset is a lot lighter than Sony's previous gaming headsets. I also immediately see that you can connect the H5 both wirelessly and wired. That's nice if the battery is empty, because then I can continue gaming. The earcups feel soft and fit completely over my ears. Furthermore, the headset is very similar to the other Inzone headsets.
Gaming in comfort I played with the Sony Inzone H5 for quite a long time and never had any problems with my ears or head. The ear cushions are soft and fit well. The headband also has a nice thick cushion of soft leather, which I hardly feel during my gaming sessions. The gaming headset is light. It is a shame that this is at the expense of the battery. The battery of the Inzone H5 lasts 28 hours, which is a lot shorter than other gaming headsets.
Good sound and microphone I tested the Sony Inzone H5 with 2 games, Alan Wake Remastered and Assassin's Creed Mirage. The sound from the headset is very nice and I can clearly hear where enemies are coming from. I especially notice this with Alan Wake, where enemies can sometimes appear from unexpected angles. In Assassin's Creed Mirage, the music especially stands out. I also tested the headset with Fortnite and the microphone is a great added value. My friends hear me loud and clear thanks to the noise cancellation on the microphone. The Inzone H5 uses A.I. to convey my voice as clearly as possible.

I've been looking for the perfect headphones for a while. I have read many reviews of various A brands, because my previous headsets were not adequate in terms of sound quality, were no longer comfortable after an hour and caused pressure on the ears and/or on the head, or the microphone that emits all sounds. gave space to the opponent.
These Sony Inzone H5 headphones are comfortable. Even when you have it on for several hours. The pads fit well around the ears and feel pleasant. The pads do not cause unpleasant pressure on the ears or head. They are adjustable in height. It does not have active noise cancellation, but I really have to turn the headphones down or (half) take them off to hear what my housemates are saying to me. Certainly sufficient for me, because I don't want to be completely cut off from the outside world. The pads have a breathable fabric, which does not feel sweaty on hot days.
The microphone works when it is unfolded and is therefore off when the microphone is collapsed. The noise cancellation is really good. With my previous headset my teammate could hear everything, even the sounds from the kitchen, and with this headset these (read all) sounds disappeared. Even if someone was talking to me who was standing a meter away, the teammate could not hear it. This is really better than expected.
From the many reviews I've read about headsets, there's usually some point they can't deliver on. The quality of sound, microphone or comfort, but in my opinion no concessions have been made with this headset. The microphone has been approved by the teammates, I can hear where my opponent is, the music sounds good and the wearing comfort is very good. I can't make a good judgment about the battery life yet. I regularly charge it automatically. The option to use it wirelessly and wired is nice and ensures that you will not be faced with any surprises.
Plugging in the USB is super simple. On the USB, place the slider on PC or PS5. Then just plug and play. The headset has the on/off button, volume button, chat volume and game sound, a jack plug input and a USB-C point.
Unfortunately I don't have a PC with Windows 10 to tweak the headset. An app would be more convenient, but fortunately the default settings are as desired. With my Steelseries pro headset, I can record with the headset when I receive a call, but it also caused unpleasant pressure on my ears and all sounds in the house could be heard by my teammates. You cannot make calls while gaming with this headset, but it excels in terms of wearing comfort and microphone quality.

Good headset but it came from a Steelseries that was broken! Thought I'd try this one, but the strap presses on my head and the Steelseries is a lot more comfortable
