Sony will release the INZONE H9 II Fnatic Edition, a collaboration gaming headset made with the esports team Fnatic, on October 22. The manufacturer's estimated retail price including tax is around 39,600 yen. The headset uses Fnatic's orange on the ear cup housings and microphone sponge, and carries Fnatic's symbol mark on the side of the housings. The base INZONE H9 II is a wireless model that uses the same speaker drivers as Sony's WH-1000XM6 Bluetooth headphones, with tuning aimed at FPS play. It supports Sony's low-latency wireless connection, Bluetooth, and wired connections, and includes sound presets for VALORANT and Apex Legends. Sony also announced the INZONE E9 Glass Purple, a new color of its wired gaming in-ear earphones, for the same October 22 date at around 17,600 yen. Those earphones use ear hangers that hook over the ear and were supervised by Fnatic players, with tuning that emphasizes footsteps, gunshots, and voice chat audio. The earphones use a 3.5mm mini-plug analog connection and ship with a USB Type-C sound device.
The Fnatic Edition keeps the INZONE H9 II's internals and moves the team's colors onto the exterior. Sony's announcement covers two INZONE color variants at once, the H9 II Fnatic Edition and the wired INZONE E9 Glass Purple, both dated October 22 and both priced at around 39,600 yen and 17,600 yen including tax respectively.
The E9 Glass Purple is the more visible redesign of the two. It introduces a semi-transparent housing, so the INZONE logo reads against the purple, and the included USB Type-C audio box is recolored to match. The base E9 is an in-ear monitor type with ear hangers that hook over the ear, tuned for footsteps, gunshots, and voice chat audio and supervised by Fnatic players. It connects by 3.5mm mini-plug, with the bundled USB Type-C audio device covering digital connections. The H9 II Fnatic Edition differs from the standard H9 II only in the orange ear cup housings, orange microphone sponge, and the Fnatic symbol mark on the side of the housings. Both announcements come from Sony's gaming brand and share the same release date.
