Good item, weird supporting software

INZONE H3 03 February 2026 by LiamT (United Kingdom)

The headset is excellent, great sound, much drama added through immersion. The supporting software is jank. Inzone Hub software keeps trying to manage my monitors HDMI connection and turning it off (and yes, all updated, all options set not to do this etc). Why does software to manage a USB connected device even need to interfere with a graphics card hdmi output? Solution, do not install Inzone Hub software.

Inzone H3, good bang for buck!

INZONE H3 27 October 2025 by Calguy1204 (United Kingdom)

Great pair of headphones for gaming. Work really well with PS5 with it's spacial audio capabilities. Works well on PC too, with the Inzone app, plenty of customisations with EQ settings etc. Only grip is the wire doesn't feel the most durable, so will need to see how long it lasts as it proprietary and cannot be removed.

Good headset - Add PSVR2 on PC INZONE Hub support

INZONE H3 24 October 2025 by qubits (United Kingdom)

The headset seems good quality, it's a bit bulky than my previous Sony Pulse 3D headset. I found these to be more comfortable than the PlayStation Pulse 3D headset. The spatial sound with the presets applied are a noticeable improvement, I always have the Music/Video preset enabled for regular media playback. The cabling is a bit thin, you'll want to be careful not roll up the cable or let it become tangled. If you use it without the included USB DAC, connecting it with an angled 3.5mm adapter might avoid the cabling from becoming damaged over-time. I bought this for the INZONE Spatial Audio features, most usage is in media playback and some gameplay. The presets in the INZONE Hub are simple to use. The USB DAC included is a bit like having an extension cable so it's easier to route it from the back of the computer to the front of the desk. Unfortunately unlike using Dolby Atmos, it's not possible to use the INZONE Hub app without connecting it to the included H3 USB DAC. If you try connecting the headset to the PSVR2 3.5mm jack while using it on PC, the HUB software does not recognize the Official PSVR2 PlayStation PC adapter (CFI-ZVP1) as a compatible DAC (although the PlayStation PC adapter is probably a bit better quality than the one included since it's made for SteamVR). In this instance, to enable Spatial Audio you would have to default to using Windows Sonic Spatial audio for Headphones like any other standard headphone or buy optional add-ons from Dolby Atmos/THX/DTS:X for Headphones etc to enable Spatial Audio features (when connected using a PSVR2) or have connect via the USB DAC (but that may present a trip hazard while using VR). My feedback is to add the Official PlayStation VR2 PC Adapter (CFI-ZVP1) as a compatible USB DAC for the INZONE Hub app so that wired 3.5mm Sony headphones like the INZONE headsets and Pulse 3D headsets can be customised using the INZONE Hub. If you keep it at a desk most of the time and don't need it to be portable, these would do fine for most people.

Sony H3 headset

INZONE H3 23 April 2025 by Heavily modified (United Kingdom)

Wish I’d payed the extra and bought the Sony pulse headset these are ok my only problem is the max volume on this set is to low so if you’ve only got £55 to spend then these work ok but if you’ve only can double the spend definitely get the pulse set

Above average entry level gaming headset

INZONE H3 17 April 2025 by Ivooo (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

I use it for PC gaming and it does what it's supposed to. Sound quality is above average, and the boom mic quality in particular is very good. I also really like being able to stop the mic by mechanical motion: very intuitive and natural. Inzone Hub is easy to use software, uncomplicated, and I don't feel like I ever need to attend to it. You can't really do without it, as the sound levels seem almost compromised without it. On the flipside, Inzone Hub is also is how these are recognized in Windows as a 7.1 surround set, and getting 360 sound using the shape of my ears is impressive tech, which actually works. Game awareness is very good, though I'm not 100% sure that I can hear things "behind" me. A few things could be improved, like comfort. The pads don't breathe well enough for longer gaming sessions, and they should probably be replaceable. I've also seen better build quality at the higher end. But for entry level, this headset does the job well, in fact it focuses on the right things. I'd recommend it.

Good headset for gaming

MDR-G300/WZ E 15 October 2024 by Foosp (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

I bought the headset on lazada. It was delivered very quickly. It worked out of the box. The sound was clear but it was a little thin compared to the audiophile headsets but for the price I am very satisfied with it.

A great entry level gaming headset

MDR-G300/WZ E 23 April 2023 by Ggkarbani (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

I needed a fuss-free gaming headset for my PS5. The Inzone H3 is at a attractive price point and the design fits the PS5 perfectly. The performance is great, the over ear design reduces the stress on my specs and I can wear it over a longer period of time. But if you are looking for additional features then this is not the headset for you. Overall, a great buy!

Crystal clear sound!

MDRG300/W 27 October 2022 by Emelee (USA)

Really love these headphones, these are by far my favorite! The sound is so crystal clear and gives me a great spatial surround feel. The microphone seems to be really crisp and my friends can clearly hear my voice when playing online. The headset seems to be made of high quality materials and feels durable. Highly recommend it!

INZONE H3 06 October 2022 by LondonDanDan (United Kingdom)

I bought this to be comfortable with many video calls and meetings each day. I was looking for something ultra comfortable, with great sound quality and would connect to a 3.5 jack. This headset, although for gamers, is perfect!!! Soft as a cloud, clear as a bell.

Great base option!

MDRG300/W 25 September 2022 by Genbra (USA)

We are a technology driven family.  In our world, Sony is the best of the best.  These gaming headphones are good if you are not into all the bells and whistles. Easy to  setup and configure. They are not only visually appealing but they fit the Sony profile of quality. Clear and crisp sound. I can hear certain sounds that I couldn't hear with my other headset. This is a base model but it  includes a volume dial button and a mute option by simply lifting up the microphone. The quick flip  muting option comes in handy when you need to have a side conversation with, for example, kids/partner (The ultimate interrupters). ;)  Can't switch the microphone to the other side so you may have to adjust your comfort level if you are used to having it on the right. Headset is comfortable and lightweight. Overall, this was a good choice.

These headphones work great, box said they are for PC and PS5 only, however they work on my Xbox one with no problems. They aren’t the nicest looking headphones but do what they should with good non distorted sound. Only down fall I’ve found is they don’t have a mic mute feature.

MDRG300/W 18 September 2022 by Hailey324 (USA)

These headphones are lightweight with great sound quality. They are really cool looking and the color is really pretty. They are comfortable for long gaming sessions and can be adjusted for multiple users very easily. I like the fact they are wired so there is no software or anything to download. They are very easy to transfer between devices with no connectivity issues. I absolutely love these for gaming or just listening to music.

Sony has out done themselves

MDRG300/W 16 September 2022 by Morgan (USA)

I actually really love these headphones. I have used them for multiple purposes so far, gaming on both PC and Console watching videos and chatting. The person on the other end of the mic says it sounds great. I can hear everything crystal clear! These headphones came packaged well so that they wouldn't get damaged during shipping. The box has a direct QR code for help with set up if needed. They are super comfortable to wear they do not bother my ears or the top of my head at all. For a wired headset I definitely would recommend these!

I like that these headphones are wired not wireless. Also the mic gives the chance to communicate with other players. The sound is good quality. The downside is that the headset only works with certain electronic devices and consoles and I wish it was open to more devices and Universal.

MDRG300/W 13 September 2022 by TrishM (USA)

This headset works wonderfully with my gaming laptop. The sound is impeccable and really let’s me dive deep into my game (this is also very great for shooters). I like that the cord is long so you don’t feel like you have to hug your setup and not have the ability to move around. The mic also is good quality so I’ve heard in my group parties. Overall a great product

Quality gaming headset

MDRG300/W 12 September 2022 by Thelorax77 (USA)

In my opinion, this is a really nice looking headset and great quality for the price point. The rest of this feedback is from my teenage son who is definitely of an expert in these matters than I am. He says this is very comfortable, and easily adjustable on ears and head. Sound is crisp and clear. The microphone is also clear and doesn't muffle your voice. The mic is also easily adjustable, and the headset has a nice long cord. The only other feedback he had was that the cord is very thin so he's afraid it could be damaged easily and he doesn't feel the volume goes high enough but other than that, he is thrilled with his new headset.

Comfortable for hours of gaming.

MDRG300/W 12 September 2022 by MNWI (USA)

My teenage son tried these out and thought they were great for a wired gaming headset. Earpads are lightweight and don't push ear tight against the head so very comfortable to wear. Volume levels do vary depending upon what device they are connected to. Only downside from my teenager was the inability to move about freely--my response was he could pay the upcharge for a wireless set. These are a good price for a comfortable wired headset.

MDRG300/W 11 September 2022 by voxhdtv (USA)

These are pretty light weight and very comfy headphones,sound pretty decent but lack some sound quality over all, sound better without the usb dongle that lets you adjust everything,the microphone is a bit hollow sounding, but still overall they are not terrible for gaming and what not,music wise i would stick to other brands in the same price range,they have a very thin lightweight cable that is not replacable and i can see it being 1 of the first things to cause issues with them,but comfort wise these are better than a lot of the other brands in the same price range so it is sort of a comfort over sound decision when it comes to these or the other brand names,i would still recommend them to anyone looking for a good soft feeling and lightweight set of headphones.

I received this product a few weeks ago and paired them up with the family PlayStation 5. My son loves them! They worked instantly as we plugged it in the system. No charging required since its a wired headset. But the best part is they have amazing build and sound quality. You can hear all around you with the 3d sound sound technology with ps5. It really gets you immersed into the game!

Love !

MDRG300/W 03 September 2022 by Austinn (USA)

By far the best headphones I've ever gotten my hands on ! First of all, These headphones are very comfortable to wear which makes using them for longer periods easy and enjoyable. This may sound like a simple thing, but can make or break a headphone experience, especially for gaming.I love the design of these headphones since they are by Sony and match the PS5 design and look great next to a white ps5 controller and console.This headset includes a microphone for chatting and has a very simple way to turn it on or off by moving it up or down. When it is turned on or off a nice clicking sound is heard. There is also a nice volume wheel on the left side of the headphones which is also a nice feature to have. These also work on a PC and likely anything with a regular headphone jack, which is a great feature.The sound is able to be customized via an official inzone hub program or a PS5 app that works with audio equalization. This allows you to fine tune things like bass to your liking, overall I'm very pleased with these ! Definitely exceeded my expectations by far!

Really comfortable and versatile.

MDRG300W.CE7 09 August 2022 by TheOtherOne (United Kingdom)

Find myself just using them as standard headphones all the time and find really comfortable when using for long periods of time. Especially like the little volume wheel on the left cup, do wish more headphones came with that as it's just regular analogue control with no delay for the device to respond to a volume command. Do wish the cups could fold in like the WH-XB910N as if your on the go would make easier to store away in a bag. Do like the mic, isn't fixed so can rotate out the way and has a flexible rubber arm for adjusting perfectly. Very much like the USB to 3.5mm jack adapter included, but wish the cable on the headphones (which is a standard 4 pole 3.5mm jack thankfully) was a bit longer. Just a really nice comfortable headset that can wear for hours that have really good sound. Really happy with them, they are my go to headphones (I have a few)

Great immersive gameplay sound but with niggles

MDRG300W.CE7 06 August 2022 by Philip57 (United Kingdom)

Wearing these headphones for several gameplays, 'Warhammer', 'Sniper Ghost Warrior' and 'The House of Da Vinci 2'; the sound quality was particularly good, and I felt immersed & 'in' the game. Whilst each gameplay had its merits, great sound & effects; the best for me was the adventure puzzle game where the soundtrack was entwined with the sound effects; I felt unaware I was wearing the headphones and became totally immersed 'In the Zone'. There are a couple of downsides to the headphones: they are wired, and as such present issues regards the microphone - it must be worn on the left side if it is to be engaged and used at all. Incidentally I used them for a Zoom setup too, they worked well but again the microphone must be worn on the left - I can see no way round this. Apart from those issues I would certainly recommend them for sound quality and surround immersion; if Wi-Fi were an option, I would choose wireless. N.B. With wired, the lead with the USB connector is long enough, at approx. 2.5 Meters, to accommodate most requirements.

Not too old to be surprised.

MDRG300W.CE7 05 August 2022 by RayD (United Kingdom)

I found the earphones to be comfortable, light and quite intuitive to use. There is most certainly a bias towards the treble end of the sound but this did not, for me, detract from the quality of the sound. I suppose we have all been spoilt of late and I found working with a wired connection to be tiresome and inconvenient. However, I do recognise there is a significant cost saving over the Bluetooth equivalent. However, personally, despite the inconvenience of the cable I would prefer to own a quality product with a lead than an inferior one which uses Bluetooth. I acknowledge that I have no previous experience of gaming systems using headphones but I was pleasantly surprised by the added dimension and did find it added another level of immersion. I am a 76 year old male but this not detract from my use and significant enjoyment of modern technology. In particular I have used Sony products ever since the late sixties when your sound systems led the way.

Great headset for enhanced Gaming Experience

MDRG300W.CE7 04 August 2022 by mich (United Kingdom)

I am a very enthusiastic gamer, and use these with my PlayStation 5. I use these nearly every night and have found these to be a great addition to my gaming experience. This headset is very comfortable to use, unlike others that I have previously owned. There is very clear sound on these which also improves the gaming experience. I like that the microphone stick is adjustable so when not in use I can move this out of the way very easily. There is an adjustable volume button on the actual headset so easy accessible when needing to adjust volume quickly instead of having to go to settings and change which is time consuming especially when in the middle of an intense game. I really like the look of these headphones aswell they are a great addition to the PS5 gaming system. The only negative thing I would say about this product is that when gaming for a long period of time they do get quite warm on your ears and I do need to adjust them to cool down. Overall this headset is a great addition to your gaming console definitely the best I have had so far.

Brilliant sound; good mic. 9.5 out of 10

MDRG300W.CE7 31 July 2022 by jpjg_86 (United Kingdom)

So I’ve tried the Pulse 3D Headset by Sony for the PS5, I have to say I was a disappointed with them, they weren’t terrible by any means, I just expected more (except for the 3D audio aspect) and that made me a little apprehensive about this headset. In short: I didn’t need to be. This headset is comfortable, good quality and gives a full soundstage and range of acoustic frequencies. The microphone is good for chatting with friends during gameplay and the 3D Audio makes locating an opponent in-game much easier and quicker, it’s really very impressive. All of these remarks apply to both PC usage and PS5 usage (though my PC decided to break after only a few days of using this headset (but for completely unrelated issues), with a little bit of iPad usage thrown in for good measure. The H3 is comfortable to wear and though initially it feels a little heavy on the head, which gave me concern about neck fatigue etc. In my experience this never actually happened and I wore them for nearly 16 hours straight one day! I think it’s because it’s balance is so perfectly executed there’s an even distribution of the weight. Additionally I found absolutely no ear discomfort, thanks to the padded and cushioned ear cups. They get a full 5/5 or 10/10 from me for fit, build quality and comfort. The software on PC is easy to configure & use and comes with useful presets to tailor the sound to your personal preference or the content type you’re consuming. As for use with the PS5, as you’d expect, it’s plug and play. There are a couple of minor issues: The isolation, in regards to the microphone, isn’t 100% either in efficacy or reliability, but I’d say it’s a good 98%. I’ve also used it to video conference and people reported a noticeable improvement over my other microphone solution. However if the volume suddenly increased (say somebody unexpectedly made me laugh) it would distort the audio signal. This is true in-game too (though more likely I’d be cursing myself for making a stupid mistake which cost me a round/life/level etc.) However after the initial ‘burst’ of sound, the quality restores quickly. The mid-tones are a little indistinct, which is a problem with separation, this is across various media types and uses. However, the vast majority of users probably won’t notice. All-in-all, the H3 is brilliant gaming headset and can be used for a variety of uses and copes well with them all. A good solid investment, especially if you like to chat when you game.

Fantastic gaming headphones

MDRG300W.CE7 31 July 2022 by Bobtil (United Kingdom)

After using the headphones for a two weeks, I have found them very comfortable to wear, which would include for periods over 3 hours at a time. My ears do get quite warm as the headphones cover all of my ears but this isn't a major downside at all. I was very impressed with the packaging the product came in, as everything is paper or cardboard and its good to see Sony is heading in the right direction regarding product packaging. It is also noted that the quality of the headphones themselves is very good and they are very sturdy, including the fold up and down microphone. This very handily turns on and off when folded up and down. There is plenty of adjustment for all shapes and sized heads and the cable is also more long enough. The volume can be controlled by a small dial on the back of the headphones, this is very handy to say the least. The headphones have been primarily used for gaming and the sound quality is fantastic in general. I would say, it is advisable to download the Sony equaliser software, enabling sound adjustment for personal tastes, as in my opinion, this improves the overall sound quality considerably, this includes being able to adjust the spatial awareness sound effects the headphones provide. The sound quality overall is fantastic for gaming. The bass is clear, the spatial awareness effect is just brilliant (especially for 1st person games) and the headphones provide level of immersion for gaming that I haven't experienced from a set of headphones before. Overall, I would highly recommend the INZONE H3 gaming headset.

A moderate gaming headset for beginner

MDRG300W.CE7 30 July 2022 by Penguin (United Kingdom)

Looks: - Looks a bit huge yet very light and comfy even wearing glasses - Colour combination is simple and stylish, B&W Pros: - The mic sound is really good and clear - The sound is not bad for the price - The 360 Spatial Sound for Gaming is pretty accurate - Have INZONE Hub to customize the operations for the headset - 3.5mm cable is long enough and can use with phones and laptop or any devices with the plug Cons: - Feels a little bit hot after using for a long time as the material is nylon - The sound can get better as it feels like it has a narrow soundstage and the bass is a bit weak

Great budget friendly, but quality headphones!

MDRG300W.CE7 29 July 2022 by SgtStressUK (United Kingdom)

Looks: These are a nice looking pair of wired headphones - a basic black and white combo but looks very elegant. Feel: These headphones are very lightweight, deceptively so. And due to this light weight, they are very comfortable when worn for extended sessions. I've not experienced and discomfort at all even when worn for several hours. They are also very nicely padded both on the headband and the ear pads. I didnt feel that my ears got too hot or sweaty wearing these. Sound Quality: The sound quality is surprisingly good! The bass is a little weak for my tastes, but overall there is good separation and nothing sounds muddy. Overal Quality: Despite the plastic material and light weight, these feel like they will last. They are very well built. I've tried twisted the headband and pulling things around and nothing has come close to breaking! I think they will take a beating. Overall they feel of a higher quality than their price would suggest. Other bits: The headphones come with a fixed 3.5mm jack - so these can be used with any analogue source - ive used them with my PS4, my macbook and also an MP3 player - all great! It also comes with a usb soundcard for use on windows PCs, and there is some matching software available for this to tweak the sound output. Downsides: The main downside for is that these are wired only. However, this is the entry level set and the H7 & H9 obviously solve this problem, but for more money. A detachable cable would also be good! Overall, a good purchase that doesnt break the bank!

A surprising experience

MDRG300W.CE7 28 July 2022 by Big Ron (United Kingdom)

The INZONE H3 is a wired headset designed for Playstation or PC users. I'm a 60+ year old man from Bristol UK. As a headset I have made the following observations Build: The headset is light, very light and maybe one of the lightest headsets I have used for Gaming on my PC. It has nice foam like padding on the ear cups which do a very good job of blocking out external distractions when gaming, listening to music or watching a video. There is also a foam/elastic section over one third (centre) of the head rest. Everything else on the headset is plastic in a very stylish black and white which is pleasing to the eye. I like that there is no RBG and from someone who builds PC Rigs and Games for a fair amount of their time I whish other companies would do this (who can see it on a headset anyway?). The Mic on the headset is a little short and cannot be extended beyond what is already there. It can be moved up so it is out of the way or brought down when being used. I found this to be a little too short when talking to people and found that I had to regularly bring it closer to my mouth, this is likely just a personal thing. The Mic is coated in rubber and allows you bend it into whatever direction that works best for you and seems sturdy and good quality. The cable from the headset is a good length and feeds into a 3.5mm jack. It feels a little flimsy and I do wonder how it would fair in a gaming rage moment or if you simply forgot you are wearing them. The cable connection to the headset itself cannot be disconnected and appears to just be fed into a hole. It does not appear to be moulded to the headset. The other end of the 3.5mm jack will insert into a USB dongle for use on your PC which again is a good length. The length of this is maybe too long but this entirely depends on your set up. For me, I have a mass of cable hanging from my tower. The general build is good and sturdy even if it does feel a little light. I was able to bend the head rest into many shapes beyond what a normal person would use it for with no issues. The headset connection to the ear cans have a two prong connection which can move to fit your head perfectly and I have no fear about them breaking. I am not sure how long they would fare if dropped or thrown in rage, so this is a headset you need to look after. My only real concern is the cable connection to the headset as this cannot be removed and does not look or feel very strong. Comfort: The foam pads around the ears are very comfortable and fit very snugly. Just to note, the gaps for the ears are quite small and I had to move them around to fit my ear in fully. Once done it was fine, but it is one to note. After using them to play a FPS for about 5 hours the ear cups still felt very comfortable and I was not sweaty or anything. The headband, although foam (or what I believe to be foam) appears to be stretched across the top of the headset and I fond this to be uncomfortable over time. I struggled to find a spot initially where they would not hurt my head. Now, I have little to no hair on my head so if you have a full head of hair this may not be a problem, but it is one to take into account. I got around this by pushing it onto my head to break the tension of the stretched or elastic nature of the foam, but this came back over time. The actual head part is quite narrow so, although light, the weight is concentrated on a small area which causes quite a bit of pressure over time. This may go as the headset “beds in” but I thought I would mention it. Sound: Now for the all-important bit, the sound. This surprised me and just through the 3.5mm jack the sound was very good. Listening to music and watching films through this was very present and a good quality. My main interest was using these for gaming on my PC. I installed Sony’s “INZONE Hub” which is their offering of sound emulation and is what is used on the PC to enable the virtual surround sound or “Spatial Sound” as Sony calls it. Setting this up was an interesting experience, you have to download their App on your mobile and take pictures of your ears. Part of this process is to create an account and sign into this account on both your Mobile and PC App for it to work. The app tells you that by taking these photo’s it will tailor the Spatial sound to your ears and there does not appear to be an option to set this up without this process. I feel the same could (and should) have been achieved within the PC App itself with the use of a Webcam as some kids will not have a smart phone. One to consider if you share your headset with others. Other than that, the software is very basic and simple to use. It even allows you to set up different profiles for different applications. There are one or two Equalizer setting in the PC App but I was disappointed to see that none of these were geared to different types of gaming and you have to set these up yourself which can be a confusing and daunting task if you have not done it before. I set up a basic profile for FPS gaming. While gaming, the Spatial Sound was very good. I was able to hear explosions, bullets and call outs pretty much where I would expect them to be and this saved my life a few times when I was able to hear foot steps behind me. The sound itself is good but I did feel it was a little “tingy” in places when there was a lot going on. This could be just where I was listening for it but one to watch out for. When I was “in the zone”, I did not notice anything and enjoyed the sound it was producing. While playing a RPG the headset had very pleasant sound and I actually turned the Spatial function off as it sounded better. Microphone: The boom arm on the headset is shorter than I would like and sometimes the people I was talking to said I sounded like I was further away from the Mic than I was. It did however manage to pick up some other things in the room so “Push To Talk” is recommended on whatever communication app you are using. The sound from the Mic is a good quality when I could be heard but nothing to write home about. It is not broadcast quality by any means but sufficient to shout “on your 6” to a teammate and for them to react. Personally, for me, if this was maybe 1cm longer it would be great. Summary: As an entry level headset for gaming and to find out what you do and do not need or even like, this headset is good. The process for setting it up on my PC was a little bit long winded with the introduction of the mobile app but it was simple and straight forward. I am not overly convinced about the longevity of the headset if I was buying it for someone like my grandson (who leaves the headset between gaming on the floor), and this is simply due to the cable connection to the headset itself. If you are someone like me who looks after their kit then, as long as you do look after it there is no reason why it should not last for a very long time. I would recommend these headphones to a friend as a good set of reasonable price to get into gaming, they have impressive features.

A great quality wired headset with a high end feel

MDRG300W.CE7 27 July 2022 by surfdudecamps (United Kingdom)

This headset looks and feels great. Its comfertable to wear and the sound is of high quality. Being the entry level headset of this new range it still packs a punch and is good value. It feels robust and well built. It has cushoned areas in all the right places so it feels super comfertable on the ears. The headset is wired using a usb with a really long lead which is great and i can use it on many different devices. It has a volume controller at the bottom of one of the speakers and an ajustable mic. The mic is clear and precise and all my gaming friends have commented on how good the sound quality of my voice is when playing games. The only thing id say i dont like about this product is the colour, but thats just a personal preferance. Maybe a black or a blue. Everything else is very good.
