The Inzone Buds are gaming in-ears. A USB dongle for latency-free wireless connection is included for the PlayStation - thanks to LE Audio, this will soon be a relic. There is nothing else for smartphones, classic Bluetooth pairing is missing. Powerful sound with plenty of vapour, better for gaming than for music.

The Sony Inzone Buds are a great alternative to classic over-ear headsets for gamers. The sound quality is good and the battery life is impressive. Only the microphone and Bluetooth selection give cause for complaint.

The advantages of gaming in-ears are obvious: compact dimensions without compromising on quality. In addition, the plugs are less conspicuous in everyday life or during sport than large over-ear headsets and are therefore versatile - so if you buy gaming in-ears, you don't need any other headphones...

Sony introduced three over-ear gaming headsets under the Inzone gaming label last year and recently expanded the line-up with the mid-range Inzone H5 headset. However, those who prefer to feel the sound in their ears can now also get a suitable in-ear model. Find out what the earbuds have to offer in our Sony Inzone Buds test.
