INZONE Buds Wireless Gaming Earbuds, Perfect for PlayStation® 5, for PC/PS5/Switch/Mobile, 48Hr Battery with Case, Noise Canceling, 360 Spatial Sound, 2.4GHz USB-C Dongle, WF-G700N Black

**PS5 USER** Good headphones, couple of things I feel like could be a little better but overall, very satisfied. I'll start by saying the number one reason I purchased these was because the battery life on my Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeed earbuds was terrible. Couldn't play for an hour and a half with those before they died. These headphones have resolved that issue for me. Great battery, decent sound, good mic, very versatile/functional, customizable (from PC). See below for more detailed categories: Battery: They will play for 8+ hours without dying. I usually use one bud only so I can still hear my wife and kids while playing. Had a session where the earbud was in my ear for roughly 8-10 hrs and it still had one bar of its battery life (per PlayStation menu). Overall - great battery life, very satisfied Sound: The sound is pretty good, not spectacular. I will preface this topic by stating that I have owned several sets of different earbuds from different brands. One of which, is the Samsung Buds2 Pro's, which are incredible headphones. The sound quality of those Samsung earbuds blow the sound quality of these out of the water. Although sound is important to me, it wasn't exactly what I was after when purchasing these. If I want to get a full sound and picture video game experience, I will just through on my Sony Pulse over the ear headphones. When just wanting normal sound and chat ability, these will do that just fine. Mic: The mic is good. Have had no reports from any of my buddies telling me otherwise Customizing: This is the other area where I feel like Sony dropped the ball. I don't have a very good PC at home, and if you don't either, you may struggle to adjust these as well. The only way, that I found, to remap the tap controls, sound preferences, and other settings is to download an app on the PC and take the headphones to that PC. MAKE A MOBILE APP. I was surprised I had to do that at all. Every single other set of earbuds I've had would do a mobile phone app adjustment. Even the other Razer earbuds that I own has a mobile app. Now, once getting the app downloaded on the PC, everything was good. Customizing was simple and I was able to remap the tap controls to my preference. Would give this subject 4/5 stars based on that lack of Mobile App Functionality: These function very well. Open them up, put them in the ears, the PS5 immediately recognizes them and switches to that audio - love it. Tap controls are solid. Good comfortable surface to tap on. Can customize R or L with different commands or same if you prefer that. The biggest reason why I resort to these earbuds while gaming now-a-days is for the versatility. I play a lot of games that I can pause because I often need to drop what I am doing and go take care of the family. I game in my basement - I was up on the second story folding laundry yesterday while still in the party and talking with the guys. It is just nice to not have the traditional bulky headphones on while doing family things. Great for this reason. I will say one thing that I don't like about these is you can't use the controller mute function or adjust the volume from the PlayStation quick menu. You have to do it all from the tap controls. The one thing you can still do is adjust a friends volume in the party setting. Hope this helps anybody considering investing in these. I would expect these to last me the next 4-5 years and they will do everything I need them to do for me. Solid Product

Great set of wireless earbuds, as long as they'll work for your personal devices. I picked these up along with some Soundcore VR P10's and the JBL Quantum TWS's to have an easy solution for on-the-go gaming and conference calls while I travel. The Inzone Buds sound amazing, using the same top-end driver that are in the Sony MX5's, but at a much lower cost. So yes, they sound incredibly good for bluetooth earbuds. Definitely better than the Soundcore P10's (which is fair since those are like a quarter of the price). Battery life is insane- 12 hours on the dongle, and I think twice that for bluetooth. The Soundcore P10's get something like 4.5-6 hours on the dongle. I found out that the JBL Quantums only get 3 hours on the dongle so I ended up returning them without opening them up since that's just way too short for me. Caveats- First to address using these via dongle (and at least on a Windows laptop)- the dongle actually makes TWO different audio outputs on your machine. There's the "Chat" output that is designed to drop off high and low frequencies to make speech clearer, and this is unaffected by any EQ and makes any music, movies, or games sound very thin and anemic, and overall terrible. It's only meant for things like Discord, Zoom, etc., so you can set an output in those apps that are primarily for voice chat. For some reason this is the default output when you first plug them in on a Windows laptop. You have to go to your audio output and change it from "Inzone Buds - Chat" to the real output, "Inzone Buds - Game". The "Game" output is the full-quality sound that you can tweak with the feature-rich Sony software. This threw me off until I noticed it, and I thought I'd dropped a bunch of money on disappointment. But then after setting it up correctly, these are fantastic for media AND gaming. They're full and clear at all frequencies and have solid directional sound so you can tell where footsteps and shots are coming from in game. Caveat #2 is that these might not work on your devices when using them as regular bluetooth. They use Bluetooth LE Audio, which is a low-power audio codec that isn't supported by every device quite yet. Bluetooth LE has been around for a long time, and is great for things like smartwatches that just need to get notifications pushed without draining the battery quickly. But LE Audio came out a few years ago, and with years of R&D and testing that go into mobile devices, a lot of phones and tablets don't support it yet. My Galaxy S23 Ultra works just fine as well as my Tab S9 ultra, and the past couple generations of Xperia phones have it as well. But if you're an Apple user, even the iPhone 15 doesn't have it yet since Apple is very careful about incorporating new tech. Maybe next year. So that's something to be very aware of before buying- make sure Bluetooth LE Audio is listed in your device's compatible Bluetooth connections, or else it won't even see the earbuds without using the dongle. And the only thing I consider as the real Con - the mic. Sony has never made a set of earbuds with a good mic for some reason, and these are no exception. Absolute garbage mic, people had a hard time understanding me calling from a dead quiet room. I bought a set of Lark M2's as a mobile mic for conference calls while traveling and talking to friends on Discord because of this. No idea why Sony can't get their act together and realize that people use bluetooth earbuds for more than just listening to music and videos. But other than the microphone disappointment, these are definitely worth the price. Top-quality sound, lag-free audio, and the best battery life I've seen on any true wireless earbuds out there. Recommended!

Writing this review ~2 years after I bought them. They sound quality is just as good as you'd expect from Sony earbuds, great overall and the bass is really good. The fit is also really good, which has been true of most Sony earbuds I've purchased; no extra ear tips needed to get the fit I want. I am giving these a 1 star, and the main reason I'm giving this review after 2 years, is the connectivity is terrible. Everything was fine for ~6 months. There was an update and it caused constant connectivity issues. One side, or both, are constant disconnecting while I'm sitting at my computer. Very often one of the sides will not wake up when I take them out of the case. Resetting the earbuds helps for a time, but eventually the connectivity issues return. There was another update that fixed the issue for a few months, but the next update caused the connectivity issues to return. They've been basically useless for months now. Also FYI, I'm only talking about connectivity issues when I'm sitting at my pc, and not walking around the house.

Verdict: These have become my daily drivers for work and gaming for the past 4 months. They offer fantastic sound, incredible battery life, and all-day comfort. I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5 solely because the charging case is bulky and lacks modern features I expect at this price point. Comfort & The "Headphone Hair" Factor: I bought these specifically to get away from over-ear headsets that leave a dent in my hair and cause fatigue. - All-Day Wear: I wear these literally from the time I clock in until I clock out. They remain comfortable for a full 8-hour shift without causing ear fatigue. (I think I personally have larger ears but I've never measured them) - Battery Life: They easily handle my entire work day on a single charge. I never have to worry about them dying mid-call with a client. Sound Quality & App: - Customization: The companion app is actually useful (not just bloatware). It allows for deep customization of the EQ to get the sound exactly where you want it. - Versatility: Whether I'm on a client call or gaming afterwards, the audio is crisp and reliable. The Cons (Case Size & Charging): The case is the weak link here. - Too Bulky: The case is significantly larger than standard earbud cases. It is too bulky to fit comfortably in a pants pocket; it really belongs in a backpack or laptop bag. - No Wireless Charging: For a premium set of earbuds in 2025, the lack of wireless charging is a definite con for me. Given how large the case is, it feels like a missed opportunity to not include Qi charging. You are forced to plug it in via USB-C every time. - Silver Lining: It does have a dedicated slot to store the USB-C dongle so you never lose it, which is a nice touch. Final Thoughts: If you want a high-performance audio solution that won't mess up your hair and lasts all day, these are fantastic. Just be prepared to carry the case in a bag and keep a cable handy for charging.

I was in the market for some gaming earbuds so that I wouldn't have to carry around my big cans when travelling. I watched videos on different models but one of the aspects was mic quality that was important. I first tried the ROG Cetra which weren't too bad, but once you entered anything that involves chat, the quality went down. Not necessarily the earbuds fault, but Bluetooth connection cant handle this. They do have a newer version that has a dongle 2.4 ghz but that was more expensive than this and hearing samples of the mic wasn't really impressive. So I decided to try these and am glad I did! I own multiple Sony products and have always been impressed with the sound. This was no different, the sound quality is excellent and the spatial audio is fantastic. One ting to note that if you are like me that plan on using something like Dolby Atmos with these, you cannot have the Sony Inzone software installed. so you will have to pick. Alot of the things you want to do in the Inzone software can be done in the app for your phone. You can however adjust the equalizer to your liking in the Inzone app. It also applies (if you have one in your Sony account) the profiles for spatial audio and customized tones. I have used these for gaming, for zoom calls or just watching videos and all have worked flawlessly thanks to the plug and play feature of the usb C dongle. The extra is the mic quality. I have not had any complaints during zoom calls or gaming that they couldn't hear me or understand me. Even doing a recording the voice comes through pretty clear and natural but nothing compared to a studio quality boom mic or external mic. All in all though these have been great, use it daily, even works well with my Legion Go as well as my laptops and desktops no issue. One thing to also leave with since I saw reviews with connection issues, these earbuds does not support dual simultaneous connections. Meaning you can have it connected to the dongle and your phone but can't have the audio of both devices going at the same time. You also have to switch manually from Dongle mode and Bluetooth mode. It will however automatically connect to your phone if you have a call. Also with 12 hours run time (trust me I use these all day and night) I never found myself in a situation where it had died on me. Overall great earbuds!

- does not feel like a $200 product. Box is cheap, accessories such as ear tips and usb-c cable is cheap. - terrible functionality with PS5. Can’t use PS5 menus to increase or decrease volume and can’t mute or unmute using the controller mute button for absolutely no reason. Forced to use the earbuds touch functions to do either of these. Every time it’s turned on it also forces its terrible mic to automatically be turned on and unmuted. NEED to disable automatic audio output switching in PS5 settings in order to use the INZONES for audio output and whatever else you would like as a microphone. Was going to instant refund until I found this out. - can’t see any of the settings that are available on the windows software on PS5 or mobile. Forced to use transmitter to connect to anything so anytime you want to use the software to change a setting you’ll need to take the transmitter from the PS5. - terrible mic. - nice, comfy fit. - only reason I bought it and only reason I’m going to keep it is because of it’s excellent spatial sound for FPS games. Distance and direction of gunshots and footsteps are very clear. EDIT: right earbud stopped working after 7 days. Impressive.

WHY DID I BUY THESE EARBUDS? I'm primarily a PS5 player, looking for an alternative to the [oversized] over-the-ear headsets (Astro A50 to be exact), and I needed decent mic quality that no one complains about in the party chat. After 2+ weeks of testing and tinkering to my liking, in one sentence.. I can say these earbuds have met all my primary needs. Feel free to read on to see what else it does and does not do for me, and my thoughts on how it may compare to the PlayStation branded Pulse Explore earbuds. BLUETOOTH! Major compatibility problem for most. I was well aware of it's limited connectivity when I got it, and I have a Galaxy S23 so it is one of the few phones with BT LE. It works, granted my first attempt at connection did not go well.. I was only hearing from one earbud and mic was not picking up. I was going to write it off and deduct a star from my score but.. My S23 got a system update this week, I retried connecting, and it worked just as well any other earbuds should. PC/PS5/PHONE APPLICATIONS. Nocompanion app for the phone, none on the PS5, but I did my configurations on PC and the app is very easy to use and customize the earbud functions, add or remove functions etc. for example there are 3 noise cancelling/ambient modes to swap between, I reduced it to 2 for simplicity. There are probably more in-depth youtube videos on the app. ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING. Great. AUDIO & MIC. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but they do sound great. I've been playing Warzone, Spider-Man 2, Resident Evil 4 and Gran Turismo 7 since I got them, I want to say I'm hearing just as well as I do with the Astro A50 and maybe better since I believe it's employing spatial/3D audio whereas I've stuck with the old 5.1 audio on my headset. Mic quality I've been told is good, it was too loud initially but I turned the sensitivity down on the PS5 to around level 3 and other than the first person I tested it with no one since has said anything like "put the Astros back on your mic is trash" cause they haven't noticed a massive drop off in quality. Win in my books cause these are earbuds. PS5 FUNCTIONALITY. All controls you could do on a PS Pulse headset are here, volume+/-, chat/game balance, and mute. Unfortunately that also means the Mute button on the Dualsense controller will no longer mute the mic, you'll have to initiate it from the buds. It will also display the volume balances, battery life and mic status on screen. So I've customized the taps on the earbuds like this: (L) one tap = mute, two taps = Vol-, 3 = ANC on/off, long hold for game audio balance | (R) one tap = mute, two taps = Vol+, 3 = blank, long hold for chat audio balance. I've gotten used to these settings and making quick adjustments I need feels natural for me. In the PC app you can tailor the potential 4 function buttons each to your liking. COMFORT. You may have heard these are among the most comfortable earbuds you can get. I won't be the person to say otherwise. It comes with 4 sets of tips in addition to the ones placed on them. I felt discomfort in the original tips after about 2 hours with the default tips, I sized it down one and these fit perfectly. I've had it in my ears for as long as 6 hours in one sitting and its almost unnoticeable. BATTERY LIFE. As I just mentioned, I had it on for an entire 6 hour session before, from what I remember they were still above 50%. These will last as long as you should need them to. WHAT DON'T I LIKE? Well the bluetooth compatibility is very very limited, only a few Android phones released this year will connect to it. So it won't connect to my iPhone, it wont connect to a smart TV, smart watches, nothing else that your other earbuds could. But, it may be connecting to your future purchases as BT LE becomes more common. And while on the subject of bluetooth, no simultaneous audio from the transceiver and the BT device. It will automatically swap if you receive a call, or you can manually fully switch over by holding both buds at the same time for a few seconds, but you cannot get audio from both at the same time. You may be able to hear that white noise if nothing else is being played and you're sensitive to that. No wireless charging case. THOUGHTS ON THE PULSE EXPLORE BUDS. The Pulse Explore may be functionally the same as the Inzone Buds, but compatible with almost all your bluetooth devices and I believe it will do simultaneous audio. That is probably where the advantages stop though, I've read there is no ANC, no button customizability, and the volume buttons may not work over bluetooth. For these reasons, I can't see how they can be better than the Inzone Buds, but simultaneous audio and compatibility may be more important to someone else. I ordered a pair for science, I may update this section when it releases next month. *** UPDATE *** I tried the pulse earbuds for a week, didn't like them as much. It's just as I suspected above, but the simultaneous bt audio isn't enough for me to give up the comfort and the customizability of the taps on these Inzone Buds. So these are all my thoughts on the Inzone Buds. Anything I left out may just not have been that important to me personally. $200 is steep, but I think they're worth it overall.

Awesome earbuds. I use these for gaming and talking to friends online. The sound quality is amazing and the noise canceling is top notch. None of my friends have complained about mic quality either. The Inzone app on pc is also great. Being able to map the touchpads to whichever action I personally want is awesome. They hold a charge for about 8 hours and charge up very quickly. Even putting them away for a couple minutes while you do something can add a decent amount of charge, extending your use time by a good amount. Only problem is they can’t connect to any IPhone by Bluetooth because apple is way behind on Bluetooth tech at the moment. I would use these as my go to phone earbuds over my AirPods but I can’t because of this limitation. If you don’t have an iPhone however then you’re good to go. If you’re looking for a good earbud that has great quality, user features, long battery life, good mic and look good, then these might just the earbuds for you.
