“It's ridiculous.”— Alekimsior on Reddit
“literally overnight by themselves, they were fine when I went to bed and in the morning they were falling apart. I don’t think they changed anything.”— hbakken on Reddit
“it's durable is worse than my Hyper X Cloud Flight, which the leather lasted for 2 years and no technical issue yet.”— TypeConfident on Reddit
“That's definitely a SONY crappy build you would think they are quality oriented. TEMU headsets are glued better.”— Halcyon1317 on Reddit
“Never thought Sony could be such a shitshow considering the quality of my older XM4 and other products.”— ComprehensiveNet3423 on Reddit
“Currently waiting on my 3rd pair from Sony the first 2 sets both didn’t last 4 -5 months.”— cloudedfocus87 on Reddit

“I always get a bit of pain at the top of my head after an hour or so with the H9”— I_am_Nic on Reddit
“this is some trash design, they could have used a more durable and stronger glue”— CanardPlayer on Reddit

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.
“Can I download the app on mobile, save an EQ preset to the headset from the mobile app and then use that preset on the PC without downloading the pc app? If I dont download the PC app do I lose any features like the chat/game balance?”— scallet95 on Reddit
“I have the same you describe. I did some more troubleshooting and the usb-c dongle needs a direct line of sight of the headset. There cannot be anything between it. This solved most issues, but i still have every 2-3 hours one disconnect”— Silverchaoz on Reddit
“Can anyone comment if these share the same weird overheating/random disconnects the Pulse Elite suffered from?”— philrod98 on Reddit
“I have the headphones and yea, no app. But no worries since I can easily EQ them on the fly on Sound Connect App on my iPhone, it has the same features as the Inzone Hub You connect the dongle to PS5 / Mac etc and have an active bluetooth connection on your phone.”— Asklepios94 on Reddit
“first one had bigger drivers I think they were 40mm now they are smaller on 2nd gen only 30mm”— JaxCavalera on Reddit
“Sidetone is adjustable via the Inzone Hub software (only PC, no Mac support)”— Carlociraptor305 on Reddit
“They have the same drivers, but they don't sound anything like the XM6, unfortunately. https://www.soundguys.com/sony-inzone-h9-ii-review-xm6-sound-in-a-gaming-headset-not-quite-142782/”— NoBurnInBirney_SG on Reddit
“Do you have the eq you’re currently using? Would be keen to eq them as well since they sound quite dull for music, imo. I’m assuming you’re using something like Peace APO for equaliser?”— WebConstant7922 on Reddit
