Sony INZONE H9 II vs Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC

The Sony INZONE H9 II and the Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC are both gaming headsets. However, they're quite different ergonomically. The Sony is less than half the weight and has a very light clamping force, making it more universally comfortable and less fatiguing to wear over time. On the other hand, the Audeze is heavy and bulky, but has a better build quality and finish. While both offer ANC, the Sony's overall noise isolation falls short of the Audeze's, which block out much more mid- and bass-range noise like rumbly traffic and background chatter. Both have a boom mic system that performs amazingly well, reproducing your voice naturally and preventing noise from bleeding into the captured audio. The Audeze has a backup integrated mic, LDAC codec support, and two-device Bluetooth multipoint, so it's more suitable if you need a one-size-fits-all headset that you can use casually, though it costs more.
