In case anybody was curious, when in comparison with my Gen 3 Astro A50 the H9 sounds comparable (depth, bass, and many others), however the noise cancellation function does present crisper sound, particularly with dialogue. I’ll say that the noise cancellation on the very best stage makes me really feel like I’m on an airplane a bit. I didn’t discover a large enough distinction with the 3D audio to touch upon it. The A50 is a bit more snug, however which may be as a result of it’s extra damaged in. I’ve obtained a little bit of an enormous head, so the H9 began to really feel tight across the 3 hour mark. Hopefully it loosens up, nevertheless it’s not a dealbreaker. The H9 additionally absolutely charged in a fraction of the time the A50 does, though I’ve heard that later generations of the A50 do cost sooner than gen 3, so I can’t actually evaluate to present gen. In all, I’m going to maintain the H9 due to the noise cancellation and the truth that I also can apply it to a PC.
One factor of be aware, it sounds horrible proper out of the field as a result of the sport/chat function is not only one or the opposite, nevertheless it’s a sliding scale as an alternative. As soon as I moved all of it the way in which over to sport mode it sounded superb. Hope this helps anybody on the fence in regards to the H9.
