Last year, Sony Electronics jumped into the gaming headset space with a series of over-ear cans dubbed Inzone.
The original trio of Inzone gaming headsets marked an impressive foray into the overpopulated gaming headset market.
As such, Sony has integrated the quality audio tech from its earbuds and headphones into the Inzone Buds.
These are designed for thePlayStation Portal, though will be compatible with PS5 and PC with a separate adapter.
Inzone Buds are a tad bulkier than a lot of popular earbuds, including other models from Sony.
Once you place them in your ears, you twist backward slightly to get them in a snug position.
I’m someone who has long had issues getting earbuds to stay in (maybe my ears are weird?
), but that hasn’t happened with these.
This fact alone might make you wonder if you should ditch your regular earbuds for the Inzone Buds.
That won’t be possible for many prospective buyers.
The Buds also stand up well to gaming headsets when it comes to chat.
In effect, 360 Spatial Sound delivers audio that you might pinpoint more accurately (direction and distance).
The Windows-only Inzone Hub is also where you could make changes to equalizer and sound profile.
It’s largely the same headset, save for a few key differences.
Both of the new additions to the Inzone lineup are available in a white/black color scheme or all-black.
A newall-black version of the high-end Inzone H9also launches on October 15 alongside the Inzone Buds and Inzone H5.
Disclosure: Sony provided GameSpot with samples of the Inzone Buds and Inzone H5 ahead of launch.
