Title: Probably the best low-latency and gaming earbuds out there, but with a coupel caveats.
Review: 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!

Title: Solid Headphones
Review: **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 satisfiedSound: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 otherwiseCustomizing: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 AppFunctionality: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

Review: I bought this thing for the primary purpose of gaming. I’ve always had issues with headaches while wearing headphones, and even the least clamping headphones I could find (Razer Blackshark V2 Pro) sometimes caused me issues. I finally gave up and decided to look for wireless earbuds that I could use for gaming.My requirements were primarily that the earbuds be low latency, meaning 2.4 GHz or alternatively any proprietary technology that could achieve similar performance, and that the earbuds have long battery life. These satisfy both of those requirements.The latency is not quite as good as wired speakers or wired headphones, but are on par with my Razer Blackshark V2 Pro and not noticeable in real world use, and nowhere near as bad as the noticeable latency of Bluetooth earbuds.The battery life has not really been an issue so far either. They don’t last quite as long as their claimed 12 hours, but you aren’t going to reasonably exhaust their battery life in a gaming session. These charge pretty fast, so if you so much as take a few minutes break (which you should anyway, go get a drink, use the bathroom or something), you’d get a decent bit more use out of them even if you were about to run out.On top of these two, the sound quality is not bad. Not as good as actual decent headphones, but perfectly fine especially for gaming. Noise cancellation performance also exceeded my expectations for what earbuds are capable of. Touch controls work reasonably well. The INZONE Hub software is pretty easy to use, and has good enough functionality for me to customize some basic functions. They also fit my ears well, which some earbuds do not.Personally have not tried Bluetooth, apparently other reviews said this has problems with Bluetooth, but I’d never use these that way. I have cheaper Bluetooth earbuds that are more lightweight and portable that I bring with me on the go. If you can afford these things, I don’t see why you wouldn’t also buy something more lightweight and portable for on-the-go Bluetooth use. The battery life requirements that I have for this product mandates the size and weight, and I don’t see that as a con but rather a necessary design sacrifice.Do remember to switch these to the correct mode (PC vs PS5) when using the dongle, there’s a little physical switch on the dongle for this.Edit:There is, apparently, a known issue for these earbuds where the left earbud will stop receiving sound. Happened to me only once, after using these earbuds for almost 2 months.There is a pretty simple fix for this, which is reinitializing the earbuds, which apparently doesn’t reset the settings, just the connection method (or maybe the settings get automatically reapplied by the INZONE Hub app when I connect back to the PC afterwards).The instructions for how to do the fix is not very accurate on their own website, so I’ll repeat it here:1. Unplug the dongle from whatever device it is plugged into (and possibly turn off bluetooth on any paired devices as well, so that it stays unconnected to anything).2. Open the case, and with the case open, press and hold the button on the back near the USB-C port. The light in front may or may not first blink blue for a while (that means it is in Bluetooth pairing mode), ignore the blue blinking.3. After 15 seconds or so, it should start blinking orange. Keep holding until it stops blinking orange (the Sony website says to stop holding within 5 seconds of it blinking orange but that’s not quite right, you have to wait until the orange blinking stops, which takes around 5 seconds).4. Stop holding, and wait for it to blink some combination of green and orange. Once it stops blinking, it has completed reinitializing.5. Now you can plug the dongle in to use as before, or press and hold the button until it blinks blue to put it in Bluetooth pairing mode to pair it back with whatever device you want to use it with, and everything should be fixed.Edit 2: Have owned these earbuds for a year now. Using them several hours daily, I’ve noticed at most minimal degradation in battery life. The connection issue described above happened a few more times maybe a month apart each time, but hasn’t happened again for several months now. Still very satisfied with my purchase, bumping back up to 5 stars.

Review: Only the connection you need to connect to the other device to connect it, other than that the sound quality is very impressive. Niether for the bass.

Review: -Actualizacion-Logre hacer que los auriculares funcionaran de nuevo bien con la función cancelación de ruido reiniciándolos desde cero en modo conexión, si haces un reset de fabrica no sirve, debe ser reiniciado en modo conexión.-Actualizacion-Después de 1 AñoLa función de cancelación de ruido dejo de funcionar, no funciona en Mac, windows o ps5, en ninguno de mis dispositivos puedo hacer que la función de cancelación de ruido funcione, ahora solo se escucha el sonido ambiente, muy decepcionante.-Actualizacion-después de 6 meses-Un aricular se desconecta momentaneamente y hay que volver a emparejarlos, aun asi son los mejor auriculares gaming in ear que tengo, funcionan para ps5, con una nueva actualizacion ya funcionan bien en pc tambien, donde sea que los conectes usa el enrutador de ps5 ofrece mejor sonido, apesar de sus fallas los sigo usando y son comodos.-Actualizacion-Reseña anterior:funciono excelente en mi Mac y mi ps5, lamentablemente en pc tiene muchas interferencias, son mucho mas cómodos que los pulse explore y sobre todo duran mucho mas la batería, el sonido es aceptable, la cancelación de ruido sinceramente es pobre, pero aun así es mucho mejor que los pulse explore.
