Sonys new flagship Inzone H9 II gaming headset is here — and with a surprise feature
Sony just launched its new flagship wireless gaming headset, the Inzone H9 II, alongside a new lineup of gaming peripherals and wired gaming earbuds. Priced at $349.99, the H9 II is available now.
The new PC gaming headset is part of an expansion of Sony's Inzone gaming lineup. The upgraded headset comes three years after the launch of the original H9 model and delivers some notable upgrades. Most importantly, the headset features the same 30mm drivers as the newest flagship Sony XM6 headphones, which means they sound just as good as the best headphones available in 2025. I was surprised that Sony included these drivers in a product that costs $100 less than the XM6, but I'm not complaining.
I've been testing the new headset (and the new Inzone gaming peripherals) for the past couple weeks, and so far, I'm impressed.

Let's start with the basics. The H9 II features upgraded specs in key areas compared to the original H9 headset. Designed for pro-level gaming, the headset has 360-degree spatial audio and Sony's signature active noise cancellation technology. Sony says the headset was designed around the 30mm drivers from the new XM6 headphones, resulting in high-quality, high-clarity audio across the sound spectrum.

Noise cancellation: Yes
Driver: 30mm driver (same as WH-1000XM6 headphones)
Spatial sound: 360-degree spatial sound with FPS presets
App connected: Sony Inzone Hub (PC) and Sound Connect (mobile)
Weight: 260 grams
Ports: USB-C and 3.5mm headphone jack
Microphone: Unidirectional, detachable
Battery life: 30 hours
Quick charge: 5 minutes gives you 1 hour of charge
Travel case: Fabric pouch included
At a press briefing, Sony stressed that the new headphones were tested with the esports team Fnatic. Sony worked with professional gamers in Tokyo and Berlin to design audio presets specifically designed for pro gaming and first-person shooters. Players can choose between audio settings that emphasize subtle sounds like footsteps or deep rumbles from sound effects. The EQ settings are also fully customizable, but thanks to the new driver, they sound fantastic right out of the box.
The H9 II was also redesigned for comfort. It's significantly lighter than the original H9, 260g versus 330g, and in my testing, it's comfortable for long periods of time. The new fabric headband, foam cushions, and lightweight design make it extremely comfortable, putting it on par with the most comfortable headphones from Bose.

The headset delivers 7.1ch audio and 360-degree spatial audio. Players also have multiple connectivity options, and you can plug in with included USB-C and 3.5mm audio cables. You can also simultaneously connect via Bluetooth LE audio with the supplied USB-C dongle, which offers a low-latency 2.4GHz connection and low-latency gameplay.
Finally, the headset has a new slider lock system to adjust the headband, and it's available in both white and black.
Sony Inzone H9 II: My first impressionsI'll say this, my PC gaming days are long behind me, so I can only review these headphones from a casual gamer's perspective. However, I was able to demo the new headset during a Call of Duty gaming session, and from what I heard, the headset delivers the full, rich audio Sony promises. You can hear a surprising amount of detail with the FPS audio presets.
So, the sound is fantastic, but that's not a surprise given what's inside. The Sony drivers and noise cancellation are extremely effective, and they make music, games, and movies sound incredible. In testing them on work calls, I've also found the microphone offers impressive clarity.
The headset is extremely comfortable, and I like the overall redesign, but I expect the new look to be controversial. The fabric headset and slider-lock system isn't as clean-looking as the original H9 headset, though the tradeoff is improved comfort for marathon gaming sessions.
Personally, I'd opt for the black headset, but to each their own.

Credit: Timothy Beck Werth / Mashable Is the Sony Inzone H9 II gaming headset worth it?Let's talk about the price: At $349.99, it's $100 cheaper than the flagship XM6 headphones. So, relatively speaking, that's not a bad deal. Of course, that's still a lot of money. If you're a serious PC and PS5 gamer, then I could definitely see this becoming your new daily headset, especially if you care about audio quality, noise cancellation, and comfort.
That being said, Sony has been lagging on battery life lately. The H9 II features lower battery life than its predecessor (the XM6 also failed to deliver battery upgrades). That may be because Sony is prioritizing noise cancellation and comfort over larger batteries, but you'll have to decide if the trade-off is worth it. Newer PC gaming headsets like the HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 offer 250 hours of battery life, for comparison.
With a three-year wait since the original H9 headset landed, the new model definitely offers enough new features to be worthy of an upgrade.

My Best Buy Plus and Total members: Get NFL Sunday Ticket for up to $222 off
SAVE UP TO $222: Through Sept. 30, My Best Buy Plus and Total members can get NFL Sunday Ticket for the upcoming season for $258. That's $18 less than YouTube's own deal for new subscribers ($276) and $222 less than the regular price for returning subscribers ($480).
Opens in a new window Credit: Best Buy / YouTube NFL Sunday Ticket $258 at Best Buy$480 Save $222 For My Best Buy Plus and Total members Get Deal
A new NFL Sunday Ticket deal is unlocked — and this time, returning subscribers don't automatically get the shaft.
Through Sept. 30, My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total members can claim the full upcoming season of NFL Sunday Ticket for $258 flat. This shakes out to just over $32 per month, and is the first time we've seen an NFL Sunday Ticket deal apply to everyone, not just new users.
Compared to the prices offered through YouTube directly, this deal is $18 less for new subscribers and $222 less for returning subscribers. (YouTube's current promo gives newbies a huge price cut, but makes those who have had Sunday Ticket before pay the full $480.)
SEE ALSO: What's the best time of year to buy a TV? Yes, there's an answer.If you already have an NFL Sunday Ticket account but aren't yet a Plus or Total member, paying for either Best Buy membership plus the $258 Sunday Ticket sale price would still be cheaper than YouTube's $480/year fee for returning subscribers. My Best Buy Plus only costs $49.99/year and unlocks free two-day shipping on just about everything with no order minimum, members-only pricing, and early access to sale events (which could come in handy for Black Friday). My Best Buy Total costs $179.99/year and includes all of the perks we just listed, plus Apple Care+, 24/7 Geek Squad support, and 60-day returns for most items.
If you've never signed up for NFL Sunday Ticket before and also aren't yet a paying Best Buy member, you'd be better off just opting for the new user deal offered by YouTube itself. (Otherwise, you'd be paying to sign up for your Best Buy membership on top of the $258 for Sunday Ticket price.)
Cooper Hoffman and The Long Walk cast compete for ultimate Stephen King film knowledge
The Long Walk stars Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, and Tut Nyuot throw down in a super competitive round of Know Your Role. They are given a line from an iconic Stephen King film and have to correctly guess the film based on the quote alone. First one to guess correctly gets a point, and the player with the most points at the end is the winner.
The Long Walk, the latest Stephen King story adapted to film, is a novella King started writing when he was back in high school. Now, almost 60 years later, it's finally coming to the big screen. The story follows a group of teenage boys who enter a dystopian race controlled by the military, where you have to keep walking above a certain speed or face death. The race only stops when there's one person left standing.
Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Ben Wang, Charlie Plummer, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Judy Greer, and Mark Hamill star.
The Long Walk hits theaters Sept. 12.

SEE ALSO: 'Together' review: Dave Franco and Alison Brie get grossly close in a body-horror nightmareMashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko praised Together as a "twisted ride that's sure to give you goosebumps," praising it for its "supremely gruesome climax" as well as Brie and Franco's "undeniable chemistry."
Depending on who you go to the movies with, it could be a fantastic experience or an unmitigated disaster. But that's kind of what you get with the couple going through the events of Together, too. Between this movie and Weapons, it's an exciting time for horror.

OpenAIs Sam Altman warns of AI bubble
ChatGPT reaches more than 700 million people each week — and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thinks we may be in an AI bubble.
"When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth," he told a small group of reporters, including The Verge's Alex Heath, over dinner in San Francisco. "If you look at most of the bubbles in history, like the tech bubble, there was a real thing. Tech was really important. The internet was a really big deal. People got overexcited. Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes. Is AI the most important thing to happen in a very long time? My opinion is also yes."
A bubble is when the price of something rises above its actual value typically because investors become too excited. Think: the dotcom bubble, the cryptocurrency bubble, even the housing bubble of the 2000s. As Nasdaq says in its definition of a bubble, they're "often hard to detect in real time because there is disagreement over the fundamental value of the asset."
SEE ALSO: How the dot-com bubble burst is relevant for the AI eraAs NBC News reported, the AI bubble could be bigger than the internet bubble, according to a report from Apollo Global Management chief economist Torsten Slok. But not everyone agrees — Ray Wang, research director for semiconductors, supply chain and emerging technology at Futurum Group, told CNBC that while there might be an AI bubble, he doesn't necessarily see that reality. "The fundamentals across the supply chain remain strong, and the long-term trajectory of the AI trend supports continued investment," he told the news outlet. And, of course, it is much easier to point out a bubble from the other side.
Altman also told the reporters at the dinner that, while ChatGPT is currently the "fifth biggest website in the world right now," he soon expects it to beat out Instagram and Facebook for third. After that, he says, ChatGPT's growth challenges "get harder."
"For ChatGPT to be bigger than Google, that’s really hard," he said.
One of Altman's top priorities, Heath reported, is getting more GPUs so he can keep scaling OpenAI, bubble or not.
"You should expect OpenAI to spend trillions of dollars on data center construction in the not very distant future," he said.

You Should Own a Car With a Manual Transmission at Least Once in Your Life

DJI is having a monumental year. The brand is dropping new products like never before while also running into potential drone bans. While nothing is official yet, it's possible DJI won't be able to sell drones in the U.S. come December. Because of this, DJI drones are out of stock at almost every retailer. But there's a model in-stock today at Amazon, and it's even on sale.
As of Aug. 19, the DJI Mini 3 drone with screen remote control is on sale for $499 at Amazon, marked down from the normal price of $549. That's a 9% discount that takes $50 off the price. It's worth noting this deal is offered from a third-party seller at Amazon. Mashable doesn't usually recommend buying from third-party sellers, but since it's super rare to find DJI drones in stock these days, this might be the best option. Plus, the seller, AeroTech Hubs, has an overwhelmingly positive rating over the last year. And it ships via Amazon Prime, so members are in for quick delivery.
The DJI Mini 3 is designed to capture awesome footage while being compact and easy to operate. This model is especially great since it comes with the screen remote control, giving you access to a live video feed of what the drone is capturing.
SEE ALSO: DJI drones are still flying off shelves — here’s where to buy onlineGetting up to 38 minutes of flight time, the DJI Mini 3 weighs under 249 grams, which is less than half a pound. Thanks to its weight and size, it'll be easy to pack the DJI drone alone on any content shoot or outdoor adventure. Plus, it comes with Level 5 wind resistance, which means it can handle up to 23 mile per hour gusts.
The 249 gram weight is also important when it comes to registering the drone. In many countries, including the U.S., you can fly a drone that weighs under 250 grams without registration or certification. Of course, you'll want to check on this before you take off to make sure all local regulations are good to go.
If you've been searching for a DJI drone but have run into out-of-stock notices, score the DJI Mini 3 at Amazon today while it's in stock and on sale for under $500.

Spotify now allows custom transitions in playlists
Now more than ever, Spotify's newest feature will make you feel like a professional DJ.
You've already got the perfect playlist, now Spotify lets you add and customize transitions between songs. On Tuesday, Spotify launched a beta version for Premium users to add song transitions.
SEE ALSO: OMG: Spotify lossless might actually be coming soonThere's now a mix button in the playlist toolbar that lets you mix songs for a seamless transition. You can hit Auto and let Spotify do the mixing for you, or can you choose presets like Fade or Rise to apply different transition styles. If you want to get even more technical, Spotify lets you set the volume, EQ (equalizer), and effects with the waveform visual and beats information. Tapping Mix on the playlist automatically shows BPMs and keys to help you mix smooth transitions between songs.

Over the past few months, Spotify has launched the ability to customize genres for their Discover Weekly playlists, and customize their queues with shuffle and sleep timer options. Spotify's AI-powered DJ also now takes song requests.
The steady drumbeat of more and more algorithmic recommendations has polarized Spotify users. Some love that the app automatically chooses music for them based on their preferences, while others feel like the recommendations are annoying and inhibit them from discovering new artists on their own.
New features geared around giving users more control, or perhaps the illusion of control, might help to balance out these frustrations that have driven users to quit the app.
Transitions are rolling out to Spotify Premium users today, so paying users can see for themselves how it feels to be the master of their song transitions.

Colin Farrell raises the stakes and fistfuls of lobster in Ballad of a Small Player trailer
Colin Farrell goes all in with the trailer for Conclave director Edward Berger's upcoming film Ballad of a Small Player.
Set to premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), the movie sees The Penguin star as Lord Doyle, a man who gambles every night in Macau's casinos, falling further into debt but lapping up every luxury and fistful of lobster while he can.
Fresh from The End and Problemista, Tilda Swinton is hot on Doyle's heels as private investigator Cynthia Blithe. Could a helping hand from an enigmatic casino employee Dao Ming (Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire star Fala Chen) get him out of this mess? Perhaps, if her own secrets don't catch up to her first.
With the most dramatic version of Andrea True's "More, More, More," you've ever heard, the Ballad of a Small Player trailer promises high stakes, big bets, and a hotel room-bound descent into madness.
Ballad of a Small Player will premiere at TIFF on Sept. 8, before hitting select U.S. cinemas Oct. 15 and streaming on Oct. 29.

It's actually been discontinued, which means it's not officially listed as up for grabs via the official Apple website, but it's still obtainable through third-party retailers lke Amazon, where it frequently goes on sale.
This is a thin, lightweight, and sleek iPad design that boasts a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. It uses the A14 Bionic chip for impressive performance and multitasking that can power you through just about any use case, whether that's gaming, watching your favorite shows and movies, or getting some work done on the go.
It's perfect for hanging out in meetings and Zoom calls as well, and if you have virtual classes to attend, it can facilitate that too with its 12MP Ultra Wide front camera and 12MP back camera with 4K video support.
There's a lot to love about this older model, especially the price, so grab one while it's still in stock.
