INZONE H7 and INZONE H9 battery life guide

The Sony INZONE H7 Wireless Gaming Headset has a maximum battery life of up to 40 hours while the Sony INZONE H9 Wireless Noise Canceling Gaming Headset can last up to 32 hours. The battery usage can vary drastically based on how you use these devices, however.

To find out more details about the battery charges of the INZONE H7 and INZONE H9, you can take a look at this article from Seeking Tech.

INZONE H7 battery life breakdown

When compared to the INZONE H9, the INZONE H7 is better when it comes to battery life.

With the Bluetooth mode disabled, you can get a maximum of 40 hours from a full battery charge before needing to be recharged.

If you decide to use the Bluetooth mode, however, then the battery life will deplete a lot faster. If the headset is using the AAC Codec, then the headset will top out at 26 hours. The SBC codec takes up even more energy as you will be limited to a maximum of 22 hours before needing a recharge.

You can find a breakdown of the battery life for the Sony INZONE H7 Wireless Gaming Headset below:

How to fix Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED Bluetooth audio delay/lag

by Kevin Chen

Support for Bluetooth earphones, headsets, headphones and speakers were recently added to the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch OLED systems.

When using the Bluetooth connection for audio, you may notice that there is a delay or lag in relations to what is happening on the screen.

You can check out this troubleshooting guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can fix these wireless audio latency issues.

1. The first step we recommend taking is to turn off your console and then turn it back on again.

In order to do so, you need to do the following:

Press and hold the power button on your Switch, Switch Lite or Switch OLED until the Power menu shows up on screen.
In the Power menu, select Power Options.
Select Turn Off.
Press the power button again on your system to turn it back on.

2. You can also try turning off the connected Bluetooth audio device, turn it back on again and then reconnect it you’re your Switch system.

To do so, you need to take the following steps:

Follow the instructions from the manufacture of the Bluetooth audio device to turn it off.
Follow the instructions from the manufacture of the Bluetooth audio device to turn it back on again.
On your Switch system, go to System Settings.
On the left column of the System Settings menu, scroll down and then select Bluetooth Audio.
On the right side of the same screen, select your Bluetooth audio device.
In the next screen, select Connect Device.

3. If possible, you may want to factory reset your Bluetooth audio device and then pair it to your Switch system again.

You can do so by doing the following:

Follow the instructions from the manufacture of the Bluetooth audio device to factory reset it.
Go to System Settings on your Switch system.
Scroll down and then select Bluetooth Audio on the left side of the System Settings menu.
Next, select your Bluetooth audio device on the right side of the same screen.
In the next screen, select Remove Device.
In the pop-up notification, select Remove Device again.
Follow the instructions from the manufacture’s Bluetooth audio device to set the device to pairing mode.
On the Nintendo Switch system, you should be back in the Bluetooth Audio menu. Here, you need to select Pair Device.
In the Pair Bluetooth Audio Device menu, select your device.
In the pop-up notification, select OK.

4. You can also try updating the firmware of your Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite or Nintendo Switch OLED.

You can do so by taking the following steps:

From the Home menu, select System Settings.
Inside the System Settings menu, scroll down on the left column and then select System.
On the right side in the same screen, select System Update.

5. If the Bluetooth audio latency issue is only happening when you play one specific game, then you can try closing the game and then opening it again.

You can also try updating the game by taking the following steps:

From the Home menu, navigate to the problematic game.
With the game highlighted, press either the + button or – button.
Select Software Update from the left column in the next screen.
On the right side of the same screen, select Via the Internet.

6. Furthermore, you can try repositioning the Bluetooth audio device to your Switch, Switch Lite or Switch OLED system.

You should try to move connected Bluetooth audio device as close as possible to the game system.

You should also make sure that there are no solid objects that may block the direct line of sight in between the audio device and your Switch.

Other wireless devices may also interrupt Bluetooth connection between the audio device and the system. Therefore, you should make sure you aren’t near any Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and any other wireless devices.

7. If none of the aforementioned potential solutions help resolve the Bluetooth audio delay and lag issues, then we recommend using a wired connection.

A wired connection will generally have less latency when compared to a Bluetooth connection.

So, if you have earphones, headsets, headphones or speakers with an audio cable, you can try connecting it to the audio jack of your Switch system. You should experience less delay and lag by doing so.

How to connect, setup and optimize Arctis 7P to PS5

by Kevin Chen

One of the best wireless gaming headsets for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition is the SteelSeries Arctis 7P.

You can follow this tutorial from Seeking Tech to see how you can connect, setup and optimize the Arctis 7P on your game console.

Updating the SteelSeries Arctis 7P firmware

Before connecting to the PlayStation 5, you should see if there is a firmware update available for the SteelSeries Arctis 7P. It is also a good idea to occasionally check for any new software versions to keep the wireless headset up-to-date.

To see if you need a firmware update, you need to take the following steps:

1. Download and install the SteelSeries Engine on your computer. This program requires Windows 7 (or newer) if you have a Windows PC or macOS 10.12 (or newer) if you have a Mac.

2. Open the SteelSeries Engine program.

3. Connect the SteelSeries Arctis 7P to your computer.

If your computer has a USB-C port, you just need to connect the USB-C Wireless Dongle.

If your computer only has USB-A ports, you need to connect the USB-C Wireless Dongle to the USB-C to USB-A Adapter Cable. You can then connect the other end of the USB-C to USB-A Adapter Cable to the USB-A port of your computer.

The Arctis 7P comes with both the USB-C Wireless Dongle and USB-C to USB-A Adapter Cable included in the box.

4. Turn on the Arctis 7P by pressing and holding the power button on the wireless headset. After around three seconds, you will hear a tone and lights will be displayed on the headset.

5. The SteelSeries Engine should detect the Arctis 7P and will notify you if there is a firmware update available.

How to connect SteelSeries Arctis 7P to PlayStation 5

There are two ways to connect to the SteelSeries Arctis 7P to the PS5 as you can use the USB-C port or the USB-A ports.

For the USB-C port, you just have to connect the USB-C Wireless Dongle to the USB-C port on the front side of the PlayStation 5. With that said, the wireless dongle will block the USB-A port next to the USB-C port at the front of the system.

To connect using any of the three USB-A ports on the PS5, you firrst need to connect the USB-C Wireless Dongle to the USB-C to USB-A Adapter Cable. You can then connect the USB-C to USB-A Adapter Cable to any of the USB-A ports on the game system.

With the USB-C Wireless Dongle connected to the PS5, turn on both the game system and the headset. For the Arctis 7P, you need to press and hold the power button until you hear a chime and see illuminating lights.

After connecting the dongle in addition to powering on both the headset and PlayStation 5, the game system should automatically detect and switch the audio output and microphone input over to the headset.

To optimize the Arctis 7P for the PS5, there are several settings you can configure.

How to maximize the Arctis 7P audio volume on PS5

SteelSeries recommends setting the audio output volume on the PlayStation 5 to the maximum so that the Arctis 7P is able to utilize the full volume range. You can then use the volume control on the headset to increase or decrease the volume level.

In order to maximize the audio output on the PS5, you need to do the following:

1. First off, you need to be in the home screen, which is the main menu for the system where you can select which game to play.

2. In the home screen, you need to find and select the gear cog symbol on the upper right corner of the screen, which should bring you to the Settings menu.

3. In the Settings menu, you need to select Sound.

4. In the Sound menu, you need to select Volume on the left side.

5. On the right side in the same Sound menu, you need to select Headphones.

6. Use the analog stick or directional pad to move the circle all the way to the right.

How to use and optimize 3D audio with Arctis 7P on PS5

If you want to use the PlayStation 5’s 3D audio with the Arctis 7P, you need to do the following:

1. Go to the Settings menu from the home screen.

2. Inside the Settings menu, select Sound.

3. Inside the Sound menu, you will see the Enable 3D Audio option. If the switch to the right of the wording is black, select the option to turn it white as this will enable 3D audio.

It should be noted that 3D audio may cause audio issues when used with games that don’t support that feature. If you are experiencing problems, you can disable 3D audio.

For more information on headset audio issues, you can check out this troubleshooting guide.

4. In you want to use 3D Audio, then you optimize the feature by selecting the Adjust 3D Audio Profile option that is just below the Enable 3D Audio option.

5. In the Adjust 3D Audio Profile menu, you can select between five different height types. Choose the type that is closest to your ear level.

How to optimize microphone audio with Arctis 7P on PS5

To optimize the microphone audio with the SteelSeries Arctis 7P on PlayStation 5, you can take the following steps:

1. From the home screen, go into Settings.

2. From the Settings menu, go into Sound.

3. From the Sound menu, select Microphone on the left side of the screen.

How to fix issues with muffled, tinny and low-quality headset audio on PS5

by Kevin Chen

When using your headset with the PlayStation 5 (or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition), you may notice that the sound is muffled, tinny and/or generally of lower quality than what you were expecting.

If your headset is not sounding right when playing games on the PS5, you can follow this Seeking Tech guide to find some potential fixes.

Before we being, we recommend taking a look at your headset to see if it is functioning normally. To do so, we suggest testing it on another device, like a computer or a non-PS5 game system.

If your headset is working normally on other devices, then the next step we recommend you take is to see if it can be updated via a firmware. If it is, you can usually find the new software file, as well as instructions to updating, on the official website of the manufacturer of your headset.

You should also make sure that your PlayStation 5 is up-to-date as the latest firmware could fix your headset audio issues. If your console is connected to the Internet, then it will automatically download the newest firmware if there is an update available.

Furthermore, if you are using a wireless headset that connects to your PS5 via an USB transmitter, then we recommend using the USB port in the front as many players are reporting issues with the two back ports.

What are the best compatible PS5 headsets?

Keep in mind that not all headsets are compatible with the PlayStation 5. If you are looking for a new headset, we recommend either the official PULSE 3D Wireless Headset or the SteelSeries Arctis 7P Wireless.

If you are interested, you can purchase either of the two on Amazon with the following links:

PlayStation PULSE 3D Wireless Headset(#CommissionsEarned)
SteelSeries Arctis 7P Wireless(#CommissionsEarned)

To find out more about these two headsets, you can take a look at our compatibility guides for Sony and SteelSeries PS5 headsets.

How to disable 3D audio on PS5

If none of the aforementioned suggestions fix the bad quality headset audio issues, then one of the more common fixes is by disabling 3D audio.

The PlayStation 5 comes with the Tempest Engine to deliver 3D audio. Not all PS5 games support this feature. Not to mention that PS4 backwards compatible games also do not support the Tempest Engine.

Games that do not support PS5’s 3D audio feature may end up sounding distorted. So, if you are experiencing headset issues, you can try disabling 3D audio.

You can do so with the following steps:

1. Turn on your PlayStation 5 and then select a user profile. This will bring you to the Home Screen main menu.

2. In the main menu, head to “Settings,” which you can find on the top right corner of the screen.

3. In the Settings menu, select “Sound.”

4. In the Sound menu, select “Audio Output” on the left side.

5. On the right side of the same screen, scroll down until you see the “Enable 3D Audio” option. If it is greyed out, you need to make sure your headset is plugged in.

6. If the to the right of the “Enable 3D Audio” option is white, it means that the feature is currently enabled. Select “Enable 3D Audio” to turn it off.

How to adjust 3D audio profile on PS5

Another potential fix for the muffled, tinny and/or low-quality headset sound is by adjusting the 3D audio profile.

You can do so with the following steps:

1. Return to the aforementioned Sound menu in Settings.

2. In the Sound menu, select “Audio Output” on the left side and the “Adjust 3D Audio Profile” option under Headphones on the right side of the same screen. If this is greyed out, make sure your headset is plugged in and “Enable 3D Audio” is enabled.

3. In the Adjust 3D Audio Profile menu, follow the instructions on the screen. Basically, you want the water line to be as close to your ear level as possible.

How to change the audio format of PS5

If you still getting bad audio from your headset, you can try changing the audio format on the PlayStation 5.

To do so, you can take the following steps:

1. Head back to the Sound menu in Settings and then select “Audio Output” on the left side of the screen.

2. Scroll all the way down and select “Audio Format (Priority)” under General.

2. You have three options as you can choose between “Linear PCM,” “Bitstream (Dolby)” and “Bitstream DTS.” Test out all three to see if changing the audio format will resolve the distorted sound.

How to rebuild database on PS5

If none of the above fixes worked, then you can try rebuilding the database on your PlayStation 5.

To do so, you need to take the following steps:

1. Turn your PS5 completely off.

2. Locate the power button on your PlayStation 5. Press down and hold. You should hear a beep immediately. After seven seconds, you should hear a second beep. At this point, you can let go of the power button.

3. If done correctly, the PS5 will boot up in Safe mode. Follow the onscreen instructions to connect your DualSense controller to go to the menu.

4. In the menu, select “Rebuild Data” to start the process.

How to fix unresponsive microphone input in Astro’s Playroom

by Kevin Chen

Astro’s Playroom is a videogame that is pre-installed with every PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. When playing, you may eventually come up to a section where the game will tell you to blow into the microphone input of your DualSense controller.

If you are having issues in this section, you can follow this guide at Seeking Tech for some potential fixes.

Why the DualSense mic is unresponsive in Astro’s Playroom

Based on our tests, this issue mainly occurs when you are using a headphone or headset with your PlayStation 5. Once the system detects your headphone or headset, it will automatically switch the microphone input device from the microphone on the DualSense controller to the microphone on your headphone or headset. Keep in mind that not all headphones will have this issue.

You can check the microphone input device in the Settings section of the system menu. From there, select “Sound” and then “Microphone.”

Solution for Headphone

If you running into issues with unresponsive microphone input when using a headphone (which don’t have a microphone), then an easy way to get past these sections that require you to blow on a mic is by pressing the mic mute button. The button is located below the “PS” button on your DualSense controller. You can tell the microphone Is muted when it displays an orange light.

Once the Astro’s Playroom game detects that your microphone has been muted, it will move you through the problematic section without any inputs.

Solution for Headset

If you have a headset, you need to blow directly into the mic on your headset.

If you are still having issues, you can try going to “Settings” from the main system menu and then select “Sound.” From there, select “Microphone” and then “Adjust Microphone Level.” In this section, you can test out the sensitivity of your headset microphone and adjust the microphone level. If your input level is too low, try increasing the microphone level.

If blowing into your headset microphone still does not work, you can try muting your microphone on your headset during the mic-blowing sections in Astro’s Playroom and see if the game will move you through without any inputs.

If none of the above works, simply disconnect your headset from the PlayStation 5. The system will automatically revert the microphone input to your DualSense controller. So, you should now be able to blow on it. Once again, you can check your mic status from the main system menu by going to “Settings,” then “Sound” and then “Microphone.”
