Sony is getting more serious about gaming. Way more serious.
This week, Sony announced a bunch of “firsts” of gaming peripherals, including its first gaming mouse (Inzone Mouse-A), its first gaming keyboard (Inzone KBD-H75), and its first gaming-focused in-ear monitors (Inzone E9).
Arguably more exciting, however, is that Sony has also introduced a second-generation version of its 2022-released Inzone H9, which has been one of the best gaming headsets on the market.
The new model, Inzone H9 II, has been upgraded in basically every way. But the coolest thing about it? It’s more similar to Sony’s elite noise-canceling headphones, the WH-1000XM6, than ever before.

Trickle-down drivers
The headline feature of the new Sony Inzone H9 II gaming headset is that, for the first time, Sony has upgraded it with the same 30mm dynamic drivers as in its flagship Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, which are definitely one of the best (and best-sounding) active noise-canceling headphones on the market.
The Inzone H9 II supports modes for active noise-cancellation and transparency, as well, but don’t expect those to be quite on the same level as the WH-1000XM6.
