Sony has joined forces with the renowned esports team Fnatic to introduce the latest additions to their acclaimed INZONE range. This collaboration aims to provide gamers with an unparalleled gaming experience like never before. The new lineup includes the INZONE Buds, a truly wireless gaming earbud, and the INZONE H5 wireless gaming headset.
INZONE Buds: Personalized Sound and Immersive Gaming
The INZONE Buds are designed to revolutionize the way gamers experience sound. Packed with Sony's renowned audio technology, these truly wireless gaming earbuds offer both PC and console gamers an immersive gaming experience. One standout feature is the 360 Spatial Sound, which allows users to hear the direction and distance of their opponents, giving them a competitive edge.
To ensure a personalized audio experience, the INZONE Buds offer Sound Field Optimization. By analyzing the shape of the outer ear and the acoustic characteristics of the ear canal, these earbuds deliver precise spatial sound. Gamers can further enhance their audio experience by creating a personalized hearing profile using the 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer smartphone app.
Another impressive feature is the Sound Tone Personalization, which optimizes the earbuds for the user's ear canal. By playing test sounds and using feedback microphones, the INZONE Buds measure how the sound fills the ear canal and personalize it accordingly using the INZONE Hub PC application. This results in a truly spatial listening experience, bringing games to life with dynamic sound reproduction.
INZONE H5: Extended Gameplay and Comfort
For gamers who prefer a wireless gaming headset, Sony presents the INZONE H5. This headset offers an astonishing 28 hours of uninterrupted gameplay, ensuring that gamers can enjoy extended gaming sessions without worrying about battery life. Comfort is also a top priority, as Sony has designed the INZONE H5 with long gaming sessions in mind.
Celebrating Fnatic's Success and Collaboration
Both the INZONE Buds and INZONE H5 were developed in collaboration with Fnatic, a renowned esports team that has been operating for 20 years and recently secured back-to-back international titles in the VALORANT Champions Tour. This collaboration brings together Sony's expertise in audio technology and Fnatic's deep understanding of the gaming community's needs.
Expanding the INZONE Range
In addition to the new products developed in collaboration with Fnatic, Sony is also launching a sleek black version of the highly acclaimed INZONE H9 wireless noise-cancelling headset. With these new additions, Sony continues to elevate the gaming experience for PC and PlayStation gamers, providing enhanced audio realism and immersive gameplay.
Fnatic CEO, Sam Mathews, said: “Our partnership continues to push esports performance to its highest level, gearing up and supporting our professional teams to operate at their greatest potential. One of our first priorities as partners was to bring the extensive competitive experience of our pros to the development of INZONE Buds and INZONE H5.
In particular, our teams advised Sony that INZONE Buds would be an ideal gaming earbud with the battery life and comfort that can withstand even longest gaming sessions, as well as immersive audio our pros can rely on to overcome competition on the global stage.
We are thrilled that our global fan base now has the opportunity to experience our collaborative efforts with these earbuds and game with the knowledge they’ve got their favorite pros backing them.”
