“The comfort of wearing INZONE H9 has been great since I started using it. This headset is like having my own radar. Also, the INZONE HUB personalisation made my gameplay more realistic, immersive and accurate.”

“The INZONE H9 Headset is perfect for tactical first-person shooters like VALORANT because it does a great job at isolating sounds in-game. Its world-class noise cancellation makes it easy to hear every sound in the game clearly whether you’re at home by yourself or at a LAN tournament with hundreds of people cheering. The INZONE H9 headset is the ideal peripheral for anyone looking to take their game to the next level.”

Crush the competition in Competitive Mode

I am a Sentinel and an in-game leader (IGL), so it’s important for me to have an overall grasp of the situation. The INZONE H9 has increased my ability to distinguish sounds and increased the amount of information I can use for strategy building. This has meant that my range of strategies has broadened and the accuracy of giving instructions to team members has improved.

From small sounds like distant footsteps, I can now get a sense of the distance, even behind me, that I couldn’t with the headset I was using before. I can also better understand the material of the floor on which the opposing team walks and identify the footsteps of each agent. These small footsteps are often buried in the voice chat, but even the smallest sounds of installation-based abilities can now be heard clearly. Noise Cancelling reduces the outside noise, which helps me concentrate and distinguish the gaming sounds, no matter how light they are.

In Unrated Mode and warm-up

What I like most about the INZONE H9 is that I can listen to my favourite music from my smartphone as background music during Deathmatch and at the Shooting Range, using the same music app I usually use. I can also adjust the volume with the controls on my smartphone.

In Queue and taking breaks

When I need to leave my seat for a moment during a matching, I can move around freely without removing the headset. This is convenient because it does not interfere with stretching and emotional expressions. The sound delay, which is generally a concern with wireless headsets, is not a problem at all with the INZONE H9. Now that I have switched to wireless, I will never go back to wired.
