Sony INZONE H6 Air langalliset avoimet pelikuulokkeet

I think these headphones are unparalleled for the price, they don't clamp hard on my head and the suspension strap design is really intuitive. Combined with a shockingly lightweight design I have no hassle having them on all day, it's like they are invisible which is what I would look for in a headphone, amazing comfort. The sound is so clear and emphasises the right parts, bass is still great for an open back and the width of sound here makes me feel like I got speakers which helps to separate sounds clearly like friends in call whilst gaming. Despite being open back, they don't really leak a lot of sound it's pretty isolated. Overall I'm really impressed with these and they'll be my main pair from now on.

Had these for a few weeks now and have become one of my favourite all round headsets for work and gaming usage.

Super light and comfortable, sound great with minimal eq needed for my preference and with a decent mic.

If you don't need wireless they are superb - if Sony could add the wireless functionality of the Inzone H9 II to these they'd be perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well once again Sony have outdone themselves. Although I had no use for these, my grandson absolutely loves em. He barely takes them off. From connectivity to comfort to audio quality Sony definitely delivers. Connect flawlessly to his PS5 without fail, audio is great and he sez sometimes he forgets he’s got them on. So, to summarise, as good as it gets, if you believe my grandson, and I’ve no reason not to. Well worth every penny.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had heard good things about the Sony H6 Air headphones, so I have been eagerly waiting to try them myself. Will they live up to expectations?

The first thing I noticed was how light they are, coupled with the nylon ear cushions which are extremely soft, immediately made me realise these are probably the most comfortable headphones I have ever put on! The headband is fully adjustable for a perfect fit.

Everything is well made with a few subtle logos which gives a clean look. As they have been produced with open back ear cups, the air passes through which definitely helps prevent sweat for long gaming sessions. After playing for a few hours, I actually forgot I was wearing them!

The open back design also improves the sound quality, giving a more natural experience. The 40mm drivers, which are used in studio monitor headphones, have been tuned especially for gaming and give an incredible depth to the sound. The only drawback to the open back design is that you can occasionally hear noises from the environment around you. If you have them at a high volume, anyone near you will be able to hear the sound.

I found the sound produced amazing with accurate bass and clear high frequencies. Taking it a step further, I tried the RPG/adventure setting which can be accessed via the Inzone hub. This gave incredible results and I truly felt immersed in the gaming world. Rustling of trees, a noise behind, and even giving the sense of height to the sound. Listening to music is just as impressive with these headphones. Truly stunning!

The adjustable microphone works well and produces clear audio.The 3.5mm headphone jack can be connected to the supplied USB connector which ensures the H6 Air is compatible with just about any device! Being wired makes this possible and I believe Sony made the right choice here rather than going wireless.

So did they live up to expectations? Yes and actually exceeded them! Extremely comfortable, stunning sound, especially when gaming, and compatibility make the H6 Air the best headphones I have ever used!

Eipä voi muuta kun suositella. Äänenlaatu on erittäin hyvä. Tasapainoinen ääni mukavalla bassolla. Helppo kuunnella pitkiäkin aikoja. Avoimuus tekee ääni maisemasta riittävän laajan. Erittäin kevyet käyttää ei tunnu missään pitkänkään kuuntelusession jälkeen. Paljon erilaisia kuulokkeita tullut kokeiltua ja nämä jäivät käyttöön. Hinta laatu suhde erittäin kohdillaan. Suosittelen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This headset comes with a 2m cord and a Type-C audio box, making it perfect for use with both a phone and a PC. The sound quality can be customized in the INZONE Hub, adding a personal touch to the listening experience. Its lightweight design means no discomfort, even after wearing it for long periods. With the same drivers as Sony’s MDR-MV1, the sound is incredible—good enough to double as a studio monitor. Truly a case of killing two birds with one stone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sony has always been great with paper based packaging, so it was nice to see that continue with the Sony H6 Air. The headset itself is impressively light, comfortable, and secure, making it easy to wear for long periods without any discomfort.

As a wired headset, it comes with a generously long cable, so connecting to devices is simple and you never have to worry about batteries or charging. I found is useful that it can connect directly into a wide range of products with no fuss and without them having to be right next to you which is a win.

The sound quality is really good for gaming and music still sounds enjoyable, which isn’t always the case with a gaming headset. When you’re done using the headset, the earcups fold flat, so it’s easy to slip into a bag without taking up much space.

The boom microphone has a lovely clear quality sound to it so doesn’t appear to require any physical adjustments and the mute button is well placed on the left ear piece. It’s a really good addition to my home setup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Headphones and headsets are funny things. In many ways, they are the absolute perfect way to listen to audio. The sound is highly controlled, and typical variables that ruin acoustic performance are minimised.

They consistently perform at their best because randomly shaped rooms—which create chaotic sound reflections—are completely eliminated. Sound only bounces where it is meant to bounce: directly into your ears! And fortunately, human ears are more or less the same shape and size. Mostly.

So far, so good.

However, headphones can bring on severe listening fatigue. Yes, it’s a real thing. It happens when a headset is:

• Too heavy
• Poorly balanced
• Sealed too tightly around your skull

Add in active noise cancelling, and lengthy gaming sessions can quickly become uncomfortable, isolating, and borderline claustrophobic. These are known as closed-back headphones, which trap sound inside to prevent leakage while aggressively blocking out the outside world.

Listening fatigue is a massive problem for us gamers. We all know the lie: "I’ll just jump on the PlayStation for five minutes..." only to snap out of a trance four hours later. Modern games put as much budget into audio detail as they do visuals. Because audio detail gives you a competitive advantage, and let's face it—gamers love an advantage.

This is where the Sony INZONE H6 Air makes a massive difference. They are open-back headphones. They are designed specifically to let the audio leakage flow freely—both in and out.

The impact of this open-back architecture is remarkable. It completely eliminates listening fatigue, and as an added bonus, everything you hear feels vastly more alive. The sound—and your ears—are finally allowed to breathe. It feels entirely natural.

Add this to the fact that they only weigh about 199g. That is roughly the weight of a takeaway coffee, meaning your audio will literally be lighter than your morning caffeine fix. Yet despite feeling like a cloud on your head, they still pack heavy-duty drivers that deliver thundering bass and crisp precision.

(Note: Because they are open-back, they leak sound. If you are playing games in the living room, your family will hear every single explosion, reload, and questionable teammate comment right along with you.)

These cleverly designed features combine to make the Sony INZONE H6 Air absolutely effortless to use. They breathe new life into marathon gaming sessions, and frankly, that is a breath of fresh air.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A gaming headphone that offer excellent performance for both music and gaming they have absolutely crystal clear sound, especially when I adjusted the equaliser the microphone is excellent, so light that it feels like there's nothing in your head I had doubts about the cushions, although not made of leather, the open back structure makes them very breathable, its my first time l had open-back gaming headset the mic is also decent and perfectly fine for chatting with friends in the game, it has all the buttons on one side of the headphones, like you do nowadays and you can’t miss the mute button. They is also a volume wheel, adjustable head band and a really long lead to connect to a gaming controller. All round I was very surprised how good they sound especially after adding a custom equaliser setting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Design

The H6 Air are, frankly, beautiful. They have a modern design, I wouldn’t call it sleek, but neither are they bulky. The exposure of the pressure band gives them an industrial-chic style. I’m not normally one for industrial design, but this has been done so tastefully, that I can’t not like the design. The open-back design of the drivers is not only functional, but contributes to this industry-chic styling. This whole style is driven home by the air traffic controller style microphone boom completes the design whilst being very functional.

Features

The H6 Air are a wired gaming headset which are fully compatible with 360 Spatial Audio in gaming through the use of PlayStation’s Tempest 3D AudioTech and Microsoft Spatial Sound. The only drawback of this, is you have to use the included USB-C DAC to enable it. It would be a far better user experience if (only for PlayStation optimisation alone) you could plug the headset directly into a DualSense controller and it was compatible like that; giving players the freedom to sit back further from the console in comfort and play. Though I do understand that space is a premium in the DualSense, so this may be difficult to include a separate DAC in the controller too. It’s not essential as the effect of Spatial Audio/Tempest 3D AudioTech is subtle, but definitely helps with immersion and can even help improve performance in some multiplayer scenarios (hearing the direction from which another player is approaching for example). In the interest of full disclosure, I was not able to test these with a PC or Xbox to trial it against Tempest to see if there were any performance differences.

The H6 Air features an adjustable fabric headband which is locked in place, on both sides, by buttons which must be pressed to adjust size. I think this is a nice touch as it means they won’t accidentally change sizing. The microphone boom is removable, but be ware that it only fully slots in a specific orientation, though there are markers/guiders to show you in which orientation it should sit properly. There is a volume wheel and microphone mute physical switch on the left ear cup too. The supplied cable is a good length for PC gaming, less so for sofa gaming on a PS5 in a ‘typical’ living room size and setup in the UK. From my own experience an extra 25cm of length of cable would have been comfortable. As it is, I had to sit leaned forward to game - not a problem for a quick 20 minute gaming session, but when doing big AAA story intensive games (Ghost of Yotei, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn etc.) where gaming sessions can easily stretch beyond 2 hours, sitting like that would not only become uncomfortable but could lead to stiff necks and backs etc. The good news is that they are so light, that if you’re sitting comfortably without stretching the cable, you could wear these for hours and other than your ears getting a little warm, you won’t feel a thing, except the emotions caused by the sound.

Sound Quality

I could sum this section of the review quickly: 10/10. No notes. But for a bit of detail, the open back design achieves its aim and really opens up the soundstage. The acoustic quality is gratifying across all frequency ranges (bass, mids and treble) with the separation between the mids and treble just becoming a tiny bit muddy on the upper end, but for this price point this honestly impressive work. In music reproduction, you can distinctly hear all frequencies and instruments without losing much (if any) detail and texture in the singers voices or delicate woodwind instruments (or high frequency) brass. The only headphones I have heard sound better - bare in mind I am not a complete audiophile, but do appreciate quality - are the monitoring headphone set: Sony MDR-MV1. These are open-backed, monitoring headphones for studio work, so that should give you some idea as the quality of them. So they are a direct comparison and honestly are fantastic. These are tuned and optimised for their purpose, i.e. enhanced bass register for engines, explosions and dramatic sound effects in games. This is a little noticeable when listening to music at higher volumes, but at standard (and safe) volumes the difference is negligible.

Mic Quality

The mic is great for its designed purpose of chatting during gaming. My friends noticed the sound quality difference the second I joined the party. If you like to sing on karaoke apps with a headset, you will find that the foam protection over the mic isn’t designed to stop or minimise the booms from spittle. This goes for game chats too, but as you’re less likely to be belting out notes, it shouldn’t happen anywhere near as much, and that is the feedback I got from my friends.

Conclusion

The InZone H6 Air headset is a great mid-range option for a versatile and high quality open backed gaming headset. With its included, detachable, boom mic with foam enclosure you’ll be heard clearly in all your in-game chats. The open back design adds an amazing amount of sound stage performance, which does give an edge in games. Combine that with the included DAC which activates the Tempest 3D AudioTech (on PS5) and you have some meaningful upgrades in your ability to track players or enemies in game. When listening to music you won’t be disappointed as the quality of the sound is great, especially for this price point. In my testing the only niggle with sound quality I had was a tiny bit of muddying at the boundaries between mid-tones and treble ranges. I would wholeheartedly recommend these to anyone, especially gamers.
