    Great sound, akward fit and static humming

    So I'm one of those types that can't really wear over the ear headphones for very long preferring in-ear type earbuds for comfort reasons, same holds true to gaming headsets. I had a pair of SteelSeries Nova 7 but rarely used them even though they did sound great. After giving them away I was looking for another headset to wear while gaming, I didn't want just buy another regular headset and not use them so I decided to take the plunge and try out some in-ear gaming earbuds to see if they would be better suited for me, with the INZONE Buds being the ones I chose after researching the best gaming earbuds. Right off the bat they fit a bit awkwardly, but coming from earbuds like Beats and Apple Air pods I guess I'm just not used to something like them. After a while I got use to them. For sound they sound great, but are not as punchy as say over the ear headsets. One issue though from them is when you have them in and aren't listening to the games audio you will get a static like humming, this could be a big negative for some but honestly got over it since I only wear them while gaming. The earbuds don't have physical buttons for volume control, instead they have touch sensitive edges that can turn the mic on or off or decrease/increase the volume. They can be a bit finicky as you can accidentally lower the volume just adjusting the earbuds and there is a bit of a learning curve (press and hold on the right side to lower the volume, tap to raise the volume) but you start to learn quickly how to use them. I haven't tested the mic as I mostly play single player games so I can't provide feedback on if its good, bad or serviceable. Now for price, I got these for $179.99 which was an OK price but its regular price of $199.99 does feel a bit overprice, definitely with the static humming. $149.99 seems like the best price to purchase these at. Overall I like these earbuds. They're not the most comfortable but that's purely on the person, but its biggest fault is the static humming when there is no audio. If you can get passed that you've got a pair of great gaming earbuds.

    Works great for all devices, seamlessly connects to my mac when dongle is plugged in. When i unplug, audio switches to speakers correctly. No weird connection issues, and no delay since its 2.5 ghz and not bluetooth. Long battery life as well! Only critique is that i cant change its volume on macOS as the software is windows and PlayStation focused, but I still can change audio in apps and web pages.

    First gaming earbuds that I have owned and i’m in love. They are easy to use and the sound quality is precise and clear. My teammates stated that my voice via mircophone is crystal clear. Last but not least they have a very long battery life. I only bought these earbuds for gaming on my PS5 console and they have been awesome. I don’t think that I will go back to over the ear headphones as they cause me external ear fatigue. These earbuds are a game changer!

    They are very good buds, specially for pc gaming, the sound is clear and bass is good, battery is very good too, I never worry about their charge. Inzone software is easy to use. Their only flaw is the noise cancelling not being as good as other buds. Still, I’m very satisfied with them, a step in the right direction.

      Hi AndresC, thank you for your feedback. We're glad that you like the sound quality, battery life, and ease of using the software. If the noise canceling is not sufficient, please try the following steps below:

      Make sure the noise canceling function is turned on. You can check the noise canceling settings with “INZONE Hub”.
      If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not being worn properly in your ears, tap operations may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance.

    Good connection and battery life. Really good audio too. But, the LE Bluetooth doesn’t work even with newer iPhones. Honestly was considering keeping them anyways if AirPods were a bit cheaper in general. But they work great on ps5 and PC with the adapter. Also the mic works but I heard from friends on discord it is kind of muffled.

    Depending on your computer use these are better than average. The noise cancelling is present but not 100%. The ambient pass through is weird and makes everything sound tinny and distant. My biggest complaint is the lack of volume in certain games. Some games i have to have these set to 80% of max to have the same volume as my HyperX 2 over the ear headphones which never get into the 30% range of volume. The InZone software is a bit spartan and feels like it is missing something. I have went back and forth about returning them, but they are good enough to keep. Are they woth the $199 price... i dont really think so. These should have been priced about $50 or more less for their value, imo

      Hi DonovanLewis,
      Thank you for your time writing this review. While we are glad you like the INZONE gaming earbuds, we're sorry to hear the issues that you are experiencing with the unit. Allow us to help turn this to a better experience.

      Please check the following below if the noise canceling effects are not sufficient:
      If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not being worn properly in your ears, tap operations may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance.
      Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears.
      “INZONE Hub” or the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect.
      Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.
      The noise canceling function is effective for noise in low frequency ranges in locations such as offices, near air conditioners, on trains, and on planes and is not as effective for noise in higher frequencies, such as human voices.
      For reference:

    I love this purchase. This product is great for ps5 n if u have a portal and your home, these work for that as well. I do wish that when in a chat the chat sound versus the game sound was better cause the game sound kills the chat sound. All in all great sound does the job. When I don’t want burning ears from my nova wireless pro over the ear headphones I use these. Great product hands down for me and my gaming purpose. Oh if you’re a streamer like me the voice does pick up louder on your recording as well. So the mic might be louder than u intended no matter the setting. These are plug n go for ease of use.

    Had my eye on some Gaming Earbuds and saw these and immediately got on the list for them. These use the same drivers as the top rated Sony 1000-Xm5 Headphones. These sound incredible, you’ll hear everything. For PS5 and Pc gaming I’d say these are a no brainer. You can use them on mobile devices but , They are not compatible with Apple so I can’t give any feed back on that end. If you want a high end set of earbuds for your PS5 go get a pair, you won’t be disappointed.
