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.

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.

Very good headset working perfectly in my PC and PS. Good sound and great app to customise them

Kuulokkeiden ääni on todella hyvä USB:n kautta kuunnellessa, mikä on jo sinänsä yllätys. Äänen saa toistettua 16bittisenä, joten siitä jää puuttumaan se mukava lisä mitä saisi 24bittisellä äänellä, tosin onko peleissä tarvetta 24 bittiselle äänelle. Kuulokkeiden laadun saa esille, kun ei asenna inzone hub ohjelmaa, joka ei toimi muutenkaan oikein hyvin. Olen joutunut asentamaan sen uudelleen melkein joka kerta, kun koneen on käynnistänyt. Silloin kun sitä ei ole joutunut tekemään, niin kuulokkeista ei ole kuulunut ääntä (siihen auttaa usb irti käyttäminen). Izone hub on tarpeellinen, jos haluaa käyttää kuulokkeiden 360 asteen äänen toistoa, joka on peleissä hyvä, äänen tunnistaa selvästi mistä suunnasta sen kuulee. Äänen toisto onkin sitten vähän toinen juttu, se kuulostaa tunkkaiselta ja diskantti voittoiselta, bassot hieman puuroutuvat jne. Tämä ongelma taas poistuu, kun poistaa inzone hub ohjelmiston ja käyttää sonic studiota tai pelkästään windowsin tila ääntä. Sonic studio saa kuulokkeista kaiken kapasiteetin irti ja ääni kuulostaakin laadukkaalta, myös upmix/surround toimii sonic studiolla, mutta se ei osaa käyttää kuulokkeiden 360 toistoa. Kuulokkeissa ei todellakaan ole mitään vikaa, ohjelmisto ei vain toimi, jotenkin tuntuu, että ohjelmisto on tehty kiireessä ilman sen kummempia testauksia. Täytyy testailla vielä joulun yli ja ehkä sitten menee palautukseen tai sitten käytän pelkästään musiikin kuunteluun koneella. Käytän Asuksen integroitua äänen toistoa, joka pystyy toistamaan 24bittisen ääni virran. Sen voi testata vaikka winamp soittimella, siellä on valinta millä bitti määrällä haluaa kappaleet soittaa. Kannattaa varmistaa, että laitteisto tukee 24bitti määrää, muuten voi ilmetä vähän räsöääniä kuunnellessa. On Sonyn inzone H3 kuulokkeet huomattavasti paremmat kuin Razenin vastaavaan hinta tasoon saatavat kuulokkeet, mutta USB kautta tuleva ääni on ollut huono kaikissa kuulokkeissa mitä olen kokeillut, sony on ollut paras tähän mennessä.

Sonic studio ja Inzone hub ohjelmistoa ei pidä käyttää samaan aikaan, vaikka sen saisi jopa toimimaan :) Useampi EQ päällekkäin tuo ongelmia. Tosin ohjelmistot kaatuvat tai eivät suostu käynnistymään samaan aikaan. Muutkin ääneen vaikuttavat erilliset järjestelmäohjelmat (windowsin omaa järjestelmää voi käyttää) kannattaa poistaa käytöstä.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all it was great to see all packaging was recyclable. The headset is very light and comfortable and the sound excellent, compared to any others I have used. I used the head set at home in my living room and they didn't disturb anyone else

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used these on ps5, good comfortable headset, not enough bass for my preference however it is more designed for PC gaming as you can alter the settings through the software. Sound is good and voice is clear when playing online. Cables long enough to not be an issue but I feel the Bluetooth option would make for a better experience. Overall for the price it's a good headset for long gaming sessions with good sound quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starting with the packaging the headset well packaged could do with better looking graphics to sell the item. Tested on a PC playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare.

As a glasses wearer the headset was comfortable on the ears after prolonged use, Fabric like material didn't make My ears feel hot and sweaty. fitted great on the head and the mic was in a good position that can be adjusted. Volume is good, could hear footsteps in gameplay good crisp sound, and could also communicate clearly with team mates via the microphone.

lightweight, comfortable with glasses, Great sound quality.

Overall, I’m very impressed with the headphones. You really can’t go wrong with these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am an occasional gamer, unlike my kids, who seem to spend hours on their consoles, but I was looking for a good-value headset when these new Sony's came to my attention.

In my opinion, the Sony Inzone H3 is a great headset for the beginner-gamer or occasional user. It's a wired model, unlike the more expensive models in the new Sony range, but that didn't trouble me whilst gaming, and of course, unlike other models, they don't need charging!

The wire plugs into the usual 3.5mm headphone jack and its seems much simpler to set up than a wireless model - for me anyway!

The headset was easy and comfortable to use.When I have 'borrowed' headsets from my kids my head starts to get hot, not the case with these, even after a couple of hours, which I assume id because of the materials used and the light weight.

The earcups are quite round and large, but also lightweight and very adjustable and can be easily manoeuvred (they swivel more than 90 degrees), the headband can be extended quite far which is a bonus if you have a big head (or big hair!)

The sound quality of the H3 was good and includes fantastic directional sound that helps to identify movement in a 360-degree soundscape while gaming.

To top it off, the H3 also includes a boom microphone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll start with build quality very good super lightweight plastic but doesn't feel cheap and really comfortable to wear even after a few hours I tried them on pc setup was a breeze downloaded software from inzone hub when installed the dashboard is well laid out and easy to use with all sorts of tweaks to get the perfect sound for you,once done the sound on games was pretty good not the loudest but decent for entry level set and sound to match was pretty good all round very clear decent base and Voices very clear so no complaints on the sound,the mic is is of good quality and not flimsy like others and very clear so as I said for entry level headphones they are a great start with more good points than bad so definitely worth the money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The INZONE H3 is nicely packaged and is ready straight out of the box. Initial impressions are of a quality looking product in black and white with the Sony logo visible on the headband giving it a “Stormtrooper” look. The INZONE H3 is fitted with a 1.25m lead, and, it has a 1.85m usb audio box extension cable providing a really healthy 1.85m cable length, which can be connected to other devices – so who need wireless? The headband is nice and rigid with the perfect amount of soft padding and the smooth nylon ear pads make it really comfortable to wear no matter how long I was immersed in gaming. The H3 headset microphone has a flip-up to mute microphone and flip-down to operate which you hear and feel with a click when moving it to the different position and situated below it is a volume wheel for ease of operation. I could position the boom microphone close to my mouth, and with it being unidirectional my voice was always heard over the game explosions, by other gamers.

You need to download the INZONE Hub PC software, which allows you to customise the sound and settings and then connect your H3 to a usb device before your headset will be recognised for the INZONE Hub adjustable settings to be available. You can then change the dynamic range via the equaliser, turn spatial sound ON or OFF, and in the Custom selection, create and save settings for whichever game you choose to play.

It’s not the noise cancelling variant but I found the sound to be really immersive with powerful bass straight out of the box, which I really enjoyed for the effects, and I quickly ignored any external sounds. It works really well on my 49inch tv and when connected to my mobile phone via the 3.5mm port. The Inzone H3 is a great gaming headset, it’s very comfortable, has good bass sound, and even though it’s the wired version, I’m delighted with it and looking forward to more gaming. Give it a try.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never bother post a picture if I review anything but these Sony H3 deserve one. I was surprised at the detail spent on packaging these headphones in the box. They come wrapped in their own soft cloth to protect the finish and each ear cup wears a cardboard hat to prevent any squashing of the foam while in transit. To me this is a sign of a quality product, packaged by someone who cares.

Sound quality. Playing music through these shows that there is plenty of bass if you need it and quite a lot of top end. For music you might need to adjust the equalizer to get the best balance but during gaming they work very well. The extra top end makes everything clear and very enjoyable. The bass never over powers the sound of gunfire or explosion. I mostly play FPS and using these was an instant improvement over my last headset. My last headset also cost quite a lot more than these.

Comfort. While gaming these are perfect. Once adjusted to fit they become almost weightless. The padding on the cups is comfortable for long gaming sessions. Sometimes it can be easy to forget that I have a headset on, with only the cable reminding me that I am connected to my PC.

Microphone & controls. When the microphone is lifted up into its rest position, it automatically mutes. A simple idea that works very well in practice, saving me from trying to find the mute switch. The sound quality must be perfectly good as other players hear me with no trouble. The mic easily bends into place to make it closer to your mouth if needed. The volume control does take some getting used to. The volume wheel is recessed to prevent accidental adjustment and it’s not obvious that my thumb is in the correct position to use it. It does always work perfectly but I personally would like it sticking out a bit more.

Software. The Inzone Hub software loaded with no problem and has all the features needed. The equalizer works very well in adjusting the sound if needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sound and audio very clear. Very comfortable while on head. Only issue is the microphone not being adjustable, this sometimes means it’s too close to mouth, but with being able to adjust the headset around the ears this resolves that issue.
