Sony Inzone H5 Wireless Gaming Headset

If brand tax was a thing, this'd be at the top of the pile

HONESTLY, it’s with a sense of great sadness that we review these beautifullooking crisp-white cans. Sony has produced some absolutely magnificent headphones over the years. Whether that’s stylish options for going out downtown, to legendary audiophile solutions from yesteryear, to noisecanceling behemoths that took the world by storm, it’s often never missed a beat. That’s at least until you take a look at its gaming headset range.

The Inzone H5 Wireless is reminiscent of a brand’s first gaming headset. You know the ones we’re talking about— those headphones from 2011, where no one quite knew what they were doing, just ramped up the bass and the volume for the 'gamers', and left the overall soundscape as muted and dull as a two-inch piece of chipboard painted beige. They looked like they could deliver, but when it came to providing what really mattered— top-quality audio—they typically fell apart at the seams. That’s exactly what we’ve got here. Unfortunately, however, the world has moved on in the last 13 years, and Sony’s competition has advanced leaps and bounds beyond what you have with these.
