Sony Inzone H5 gaming headset review
Sit these on your ears and you’ll be impressed by the quality of the Inzone H5 but glance at the price tag and you might stroke your chin to weigh in your options.
The Sony Inzone H9 we reviewed in December are probably the best gaming headphones in the market. Of course, it’s perfect only if you cough up the premium. Does the ₹15,990 Inzone H5 sound like a bargain in comparison?
Sony Inzone H5 gaming headset review: Performance
We won’t mull over the design because Sony is going for a uniform design language with the first generation of all the Inzone headphones. The sound, however, varies between the models. There’s a Sony Inzone H3, H5, H7 and H9. And of course, the Sony Inzone Buds.
The H3 is the entry-level gaming headset while the H5 here are a more mature take on budget gaming. The H7 and H9 have Sony’s premium Neodymium drivers. However, the H7 hasn’t been officially launched in India because of how close it compares to the Sony Inzone H9.
That said, the Sony Inzone H5 faces stiff competition from its eternal rival brand JBL with its Quantum series of gaming headsets, and it gets even tougher for Inzone against PC gaming brands like Corsair and Steelseries in this price range. However, what makes the Inzone H5 truly stand out from the competition is the crispy sound that is well articulated.
The H5 never sound too bloated or sharp which is very impressive for gaming headphones. It may not have the definition as the H9 but they do sound mighty impressive between the lowest booms and the sharpest highs.
