Sony Inzone H9 II Review: The Best-Sounding Gaming Headset for PC and PS5

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-11-14 18:00:09

You don’t need to do much more to sell me on a pro-level gaming headset than Sony did with its latest Inzone H9 II. Take the Sony WH-1000XM6 ANC headphones—currently the crème de la crème in both sound quality and active noise cancellation—and stick a mic on them, wash your hands, and call it a day. It was never going to be that simple. The Sony Inzone H9 II is simply the best-sounding gaming headset you can get right now. But for $350, you expect perfection, and you won’t find that with the H9

Sony isn't so known for its PC gaming accessories, but it's trying to change that by leveling up and broadening its Inzone line with five new accessories.

Sony is finally ready to take on the likes of SteelSeries, Razer, and Logitech with its InZone brand of PC gaming accessories. While InZone started with monitors and headsets in 2022, with a few new products since then (including its great InZone Buds and the sleek but pricey M10S OLED), Sony is making a concerted effort to take over your desk. It just launched two new headsets, a gaming keyboard, a wireless mouse, and even a couple of mousepads, all developed alongside esports organization Fnat

‘KPop Demon Hunters 2’ is Looking More Likely

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-11-18 11:50:59

Since KPop Demon Hunters came out in June and took the world by storm, fans have been clamoring for more. Netflix sure would like to, given how well this one film’s performed, but it seems to be a question of whether the stars will align for it and Sony to make a sequel together. In a recent story from Puck’s Matt Belloni, he lays out some of the film’s financials, namely that it cost Sony over $100 million to produce, and only about $20 million is going to the studio, even with the film’s brie

I wanted to love Sony’s Xperia 1 VII, but its outdated priorities made that impossible

Sony Xperia 1 VII The Sony Xperia 1 VII packs some of the most powerful photo and video features on the market into a robust build that finally sees a long-term update pledge to match. Sadly, the camera quality doesn't always live up to the promise, and it struggles to stand out on any other merits. It'll delight a niche audience, but it's far too average for such a high asking price for everyone else. It’s been a little while since a Sony phone passed my desk, so I was chomping at the bit to g

Sony Bravia Theater Bar 6 review: Great sound, greater frustration

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-01 08:45:12

Unlike two of its biggest rivals , Sony waited until April to unveil its latest soundbars rather than debut them at CES in January. And even then, the two most premium options in the company’s 2025 lineup remain untouched. Instead, Sony gave us the Bravia Theater Bar 6 ($650) : a 3.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar that comes with a wireless subwoofer and a modest set of features. However, the caveats here are real headscratchers, especially on a soundbar launching this year. Sony 75 100 Expert

Sony Wants Its Anime Boom to Be as Big as the PlayStation 2

According to a new report, Sony is still building an anime empire, treating this moment like the dawn of the PlayStation era, with more room to grow looming over the horizon.

The PS5 might be lacking the cadence of first-party exclusives that made its predecessor so successful, but that doesn’t appear to be slowing it down. Sony has announced that the console had shifted just north of 80 million units as of June 30, 2025. This puts it just behind the Xbox 360 (84 million) and well on the way to overtaking the PS3 (around 87 million) in lifetime sales.

It’s no secret that Sony Xperia smartphones aren’t the best-selling phones, nor are they the top choice for Android flagships . Sony built a loyal niche of fans who buy its Xperia phones, but the market beyond them doesn’t pick up on the phones with as much enthusiasm. When the company’s latest flagship, the Xperia 1 VII, began dying and disappearing across markets , many presumed that the end was near for Sony’s Xperia line of phones.
