Sony INZONE Buds review: Impressive sound quality meets low latency support
The Hindu
The Sony INZONE Buds offer a pleasant sound profile with proper separation between the highs, mids, and lows.
Sony launched its INZONE Buds in India on January 19. The device features improved Active Noise Cancellation, exceptional battery life, and minimal latency, along with Sony’s classic sound signature. Priced at ₹ 17,990, the TWS earbuds support the Bluetooth LE standard and ship with a dongle for broader connectivity options.
Sony’s INZONE Buds offer a mixed bag in compatibility. It supports Bluetooth v5.3. and comes with the LE Audio Bluetooth standard. This means users can only directly connect devices that feature the supported Bluetooth LC3 Codec; regular Bluetooth is not supported.
If your device lacks this standard, the company provides a 2.4GHz USB-C dongle that can be plugged into your device for easy connection to the buds. While it may seem counterintuitive to use an additional accessory to connect these wireless earbuds, the dongle works remarkably well, providing an almost instantaneous connection to the buds without the need to tinker with Bluetooth settings.
The INZONE Buds’ 2.4GHz wireless connectivity via the Dongle offers a reliable and stable connection for gaming, making them an excellent choice for PlayStation and PC gamers. However, if you primarily use devices that neither support Bluetooth LE Audio standards nor feature a Type-C port, you may need to consider alternative options to ensure seamless connectivity and functionality.

The Sony INZONE Buds come with a durable charging case that offers practicality over extravagance. While the case has a dedicated space to carry the dongle with ease, the addition of another moving part may not feel the most convenient. The case features a pairing button, a USB-C port for charging on the rear, and a single LED indicator on the front for battery and pairing status.
Opening the magnetically sealed case reveals the INZONE Buds nestled inside, with the USB-C 2.4GHz dongle neatly placed between them in a dedicated compartment. The package also includes six additional earbud tips of various sizes and a USB-C charging cable.
