What is the USB-C audio box for?

It enables 7.1-channel virtual surround and lets you adjust settings through Sony's INZONE Hub software. Without it you get plain stereo from the earpieces.

Does it work with consoles?

It is built around USB-C audio, so it suits PC and USB-C devices. Check that your console or phone accepts a USB-C audio device before relying on the surround box.

How is it different from a wireless gaming headset?

There is no battery to charge and no wireless latency, and the sealed in-ear fit blocks more room noise. You give up cable-free movement.

Do the tips block outside noise?

Yes. The noise-isolating tips and enclosed housing are designed to seal out ambient sound passively. There is no active noise cancellation.

Can I change the sound?

Yes, through INZONE Hub on a connected PC, where you can adjust EQ and surround settings.

Our take on the Sony INZONE E9 Wired in-Ear Monitor for Gaming, Black + 13-Month Axiom Care

The INZONE E9 is Sony's wired in-ear monitor for competitive gaming, co-developed with esports team Fnatic and tuned for FPS play. It uses noise-isolating tips and a fully enclosed housing to block outside sound, and the included USB-C audio box adds 7.1-channel virtual surround plus custom tuning through Sony's INZONE Hub software. It suits players who want a sealed, low-latency wired setup on PC or a USB-C device rather than a wireless headset. Against rival gaming IEMs, its edge is the Fnatic-tuned sound and the surround-processing box; the trade-off is a wired connection and no Bluetooth.
