Sony just launched an expansion of its Inzone gaming line with a new flagship wireless headset, wired earbuds, and a collection of PC gaming peripherals. This is the first time Sony has offered many of these products, which include the Inzone H9 II noise-cancelling headset, the Inzone E9 in-ear monitors, the Inzone KBD-H75 gaming keyboard, the Inzone Mouse-A gaming mouse, and two new mousepads.
Sony may be best known for its noise-cancelling headphones and the PS5 gaming console, but the company is now making new inroads into the PC gaming market. The new products are available for pre-order now and will ship in the first week of September.
For its expanded Inzone lineup, Sony worked with professional gamers with the Fnatics esports team, which tested some of these products at the Apex Legends Global Series Championship. Mashable has also been testing the new Inzone products (the headset and aluminum gaming keyboard are definitely standouts), and we've got all the details.

The H9 II PC gaming headset and E9 in-ear monitors
The flagship H9 II is a follow-up to the original H9 headset, originally released in 2022. It has the same 30mm drivers as the flagship Sony XM6 noise-cancelling headphones and powerful active noise cancellation. In addition, they feature a redesigned headband, which features a slider-lock system and fabric headband. This results in a significantly lighter design. Combined with foam ear cushions, this makes them extremely comfortable for extended wear in our testing.
The headset has a detachable, unidirectional microphone. Sony's noise-cancellation technology utilizes artificial intelligence to isolate the player's voice during gameplay.
The H9 II also offers a variety of connectivity options, including USB-C (2.4GHz connection), Bluetooth LE audio, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. We've found that the headphones sound fantastic, and PC gamers can use the Sony Inzone Hub to adjust EQ settings and choose from three audio presets designed to improve the sound of first-person shooters.
Designed for professional gamers and first-person shooters, the new E9 wired gaming earbuds are also extremely comfortable. They feature a wrap-around design that doesn't tug on your ear, and in a Call of Duty demo, they offered both a secure fit and high-quality, detail-rich audio. Like the H9 II, the audio can be fully customized to your liking. Crucially, the secure fit and shape offer high amounts of passive noise cancellation in our experience.
A Sony press release states: "The INZONE E9 hosts Sony’s first fully enclosed structure, and combined with the noise isolation ear tips, they achieve superior passive noise isolation for more focused sound. These in-ear monitors are designed to reduce sounds from a pro tournament crowd or get rid of simple background distractions in everyday play."
New Inzone gaming peripherals
Let's start with the most exciting new product here: Sony's first-ever PC gaming keyboard, the Inzone KBD-H75. In our testing, it's extremely satisfying to type on this keyboard, even when you're not gaming. We love the CNC-machined aluminum frame and tactile experience. But, since this is designed for gamers, let's break down the specs.
Gamers can use the Inzone gaming hub to fully customize each key's actuation and reset points. The keyboard features a polling rate of up to 8,000Hz for lightning-fast, rapid trigger reaction and accurate signal delivery.
According to a Sony press release:
"The KBD-H75 keyboard utilizes a gasket mount that cushions each press by sandwiching the plate with soft gaskets, reducing vibration, and improving feedback for a smoother, more satisfying keystroke and a clean, precise typing sound—delivering comfort that lasts through long gaming sessions...[The] INZONE KBD-H75 gaming keyboard adopts a compact 75% layout to give pro FPS players more mouse space without sacrificing essential keys for daily use."
The new gaming mouse is ultra-light at 48.4 grams, though it's not the lightest mouse available in 2025. This gaming mouse can stay powered on for 90 hours of gaming. As you'd expect, you can customize the six buttons in the Inzone Hub. The mousepads are... mousepads. The D version of the pad is designed for maximum speed.
