They look good, feel great and sound even better.
Also provided alongside the headphones is a USB charging cable, with the H9s rated to be capable of delivering up to 32 hours of use on a full charge. Though if you listen as loud to your games as I tend to, this is probably a slightly optimistic figure.
This being Sony, the H9s are designed to support 360 Spatial Sound rather than the Dolby Atmos sound supported by many PC games. I remain not entirely convinced that it was a great idea for Sony to go its own way both musically and with the PS5 in developing its own unique 360-degree spatial sound format, but at the same time there’s no doubting that these spatial sound systems can sound seriously good.
Happily the H9s sound fantastic, too. The first thing that hits you is how immensely but also effortlessly powerful and dynamic they sound. The opening menu score ofinstantly makes you feel like you’ve woken up in the middle of a full on orchestra, as your head - not just your ears - is filled with and enwrapped by a stunningly rich, clear but also realistically dense mix of drums, synths and strings.
The accuracy of the effects placement is completely unphased, too, by any movements you might make as you play. Spin round during the Fractured Jaw opening ‘walk’, for instance, and every one of the carefully placed effects continually tracks precisely to the correct aural position, with totally seamless transitions in every direction.
Their precision in terms of effect placement and location scale is also so helpful when locating nearby enemies or the direction of gunfire that it almost feels like cheating. Or in my case, gratefully accepting an extra bit of badly needed help.
