Please compare these with the Sony INZONE Buds Wireless Noise Cancelling Gaming Earbuds (Black) - Model: WFG700NB

https://store.sony.com.au/headphones-gaming/WFG700NB.html

It has been released. There aren’t any good options for in ear gaming buds so hoping y’all could review this

Looking forward to learning if these are worth the investment for wireless gaming ear buds.

Waiting

How is the microphone? Does using voice mean lower audio quality like with Bluetooth headsets?

Would be nice to see you guys compare these to the INZONE H7 (or INZONE H5, as it looks like some stores show the H7 is no longer available to buy)

The volume is too low even by setting all the way to max. However yesterday PS5 released a new update with equalizer setting under sound settings in PS5 and if I turn up all equalizer to +6dB then there is substantial improvement in terms of loudness. Please advise if that is something that is ideal to do so to fix low volume?

I would like to see if Sony’s new wireless dongle, the PS Link, that I believe is supposed to send uncompressed or higher quality audio really makes a difference from there standard INZONE dongle.

Reviews published, not an insider… the agony of anticipation

For any standard action driven third person game with loud character voice volume and decent sound effects, what will be the ideal equalizer set up under PS5 sound settings? Can you share any information on that?

This is a good question. Usually, manufacturers will set a limit on the volume of a software EQ to avoid hearing damage. As you noted, the PS5 Equalizer that was released for use with the Pulse Explore is part of a very recent firmware update so it’s possible that they haven’t properly calibrated the maximum volume just yet. However, during testing we didn’t encounter any issues with the volume being too low. We did notice that you could set the volume level on the PS5 independently of the buds themselves, so I just wanted to make sure both are at max volume? If so, adjusting the EQ levels could be a stop-gap solution. I’m not familiar with the exact mechanics of the PS5 EQ but I’m guessing that pulling up all the frequency bands will result in a somewhat unbalanced sound though.

Hi there,

Sorry, but at this time, we don’t currently offer custom EQs. It’s also worth nothing each game is mixed differently, so while one EQ may be suitable for a game like CoD, it may not be as good for Baldur’s Gate 3, for example. If you’re looking to lower the volume on character voices or raise sound effects, you could first try adjusting the game’s own internal SFXs; sometimes, they have dedicated sliders that isolate these sounds, so that you have more control over their volume.
