The Sony Inzone H5 took a little while to catch up to its siblings, but it's finally on the shelves now and bridging the gap between the budget H3 and premium H7. At $149.99 / £139.99 it's going up against some particularly strong competition in the sub-$100 category, while also feeling the pressure from above with the likes of the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless's turbo battery at just $40 more.
Still, its the first Sony Inzone headset to offer a mic with AI noise reduction and the first to pack both wired and wireless connections. Combine that with the series' well celebrated 360 spatial audio, crisp PS5 inspired aesthetic and long-lasting comfort and the H5 holds itself well in this competitive arena. I put the latest release against some of the best gaming headsets on the market over the course of three weeks to see how well it fares in practice.
