The beauty of the color is particularly impressive, as well as the clear feeling of the video. Because the color range is wide, it expresses the visuals of the game richly. In general monitors, dark images are easy to crush, but you can see that they are firmly reflected.

Gaming function that contributes to victory is also equipped with perfect

In recent years, the number of PC games that support the frame rate display higher than 60fps (60 frames per second) has increased, and 120 fps is supported in PlayStation 5. With a high refresh flate-compatible monitor, this unit supports a 144Hz high refresh flate. The response speed is 1 ms, and it has a small afterimage feeling. In addition, it supports VRR (variable refresh flate), preventing the display of the display and the glitter.

In this product, it supports directly below the LED part. The LED backlight is placed directly below the screen, and the entire video is divided into blocks, and the local dimming that gives light while controlling it is achieved a beautiful contrast.

The highlight of the game assist function, Black equalizer , can improve the visibility of the dark place and make it easier to find enemies while reducing white jumps in bright places. Black equalizers can be invalid/valid (3 steps).

In addition, it also has a game assist function such as timer and cross hair display ( * not recommended for some titles). Various settings can be easily changed on the PC, and you can save presets for each game title.

These three models are characterized by a low-delay wireless connection at 2.4GHz and microphone function that can be operated on and off during play, in addition to the important sense of sound of sound in shooter games. 。 It also has a function to customize the settings for each game title with a dedicated PC software. It will respond to the voice of the gamer who has a special setting depending on the game.

Hardware and software, three-dimensional sound that leads players to victory from both sides

In terms of hardware, it adopts a vibration plate shape that can reproduce all the sound information contained in the game from low to high frequencies (Inzone H9 and Inzone H7 only), and the low-frequency reproduction is provided on the housing. By optimizing, bass sounds such as explosion sounds are realized with great power. In addition, by making the acoustic structure inside the housing symmetrical, it is easier to recognize the localization of the heard sound.

In particular, FPS/TPS players need to rely on the direction and distance of the enemy by relying on sound, so the accuracy of sound-oriented and quick sensation of fine sounds will affect the winning or losing. When I actually listened to the enemy's shooting sound and footsteps on FPS, I was surprised that I was able to clearly grasp the localization of the sound, despite the individual optimization.

In addition, the dedicated software 360 Spatial Sound for Gaming allows you to optimize both three-dimensional sound barcha saliser and three-dimensional sound for your taste. It is important to note that it is necessary to enable three-dimensional sound settings using the PC software INZONE HUB compatible with Windows 10 or later.

Noi Can / Ambient Sound Mode (Inzone H9 only)

Inzone H9 is equipped with noise canceling functions and ambient sound mode (external sound import) by dual noise sensor technology. While blocking the sound of a PC fan, an air conditioner, or a siren sound of an outside ambulance, I will not miss the voice that can be talked about from the outside.

Headset design that supports long play

A soft and thick head cushion, distributing the weight burden on the head. The ear pad structure is also considered around the ear by increasing the installation area on the face and distributing pressure.

The ear pad material adopts a soft fit leather earpad (synthetic leather) that combines comfort, stability, and sound insulation that Inzone H9 also adopted in WH-1000XM5. The lateral pressure is low, and it is a mechanism that is less tired even if you wear it for a long time. By the way, INZONE H7 and Inzone H3 adopt a soft and comfortable nylon material.

Stress-free 2.4GHz & BT Connection

Inzone H9 and Inzone H7 achieve low-delay wireless connection by USB transceiver. In addition, the game sound (2.4Hz) and voice chat audio (BT) can be output at the same time.

In the microphone call, the flip-up microphone with a mute function allows you to move to your preferred position smoothly.

In addition, the volume volume of Game/Chat can be adjusted with a single button. The battery supports quick charging and can be charged for 60 minutes with 10 minutes charging. You can also play the game while connecting a charging cable.

Coordination function with ### PlayStation 5 (Inzone H9 and Inzone H7 only)

In INZONE H9 and Inzone H7, the status of the headset can be confirmed during game play as a linkage function with PS5. You can always check the volume, battery remaining, microphone on/off status, etc. You can also change the volume balance of the game/voice chat from the main body operation of the headset when connecting to PS5.

The newly created PC monitor and headset under Sony under the name INZONE will respond to the voices of gamers seeking a high-quality gameplay environment. All products are packed with Sony's audio visual technology, and it is likely to be a gaming gear that makes a difference from rivals.
