Sony has just released a range of PC-centric monitors and headphones that PlayStation console owners will definitely want to get their hands on.
Say hello to Inzone – Sony’s new brand of PC gaming peripherals. The collection currently consists of two rather stylish gaming monitors and three headphones. It’s not a total surprise, as news of the headphones leaked last week, while the monitors’ existence leaked to the world just before the press release was released.
All the hardware is compatible with the PS5 and Xbox Series X, but the white and black colors will look great alongside Sony’s console. In fact, both monitor stands look like tiny mini versions of the PS5. Adorable.
There’s an ad that, in true Sony fashion, shows almost nothing related to the product. We have a few seconds of a player getting ready for the session, adjusting his lovely new monitor, before wandering through a CGI landscape. With only a piece of the Inzone kit in sight. Take a look:
The cat is a cute addition, but I’m not a big fan of these types of commercials. Especially when they feature a good dose of nightmare fuel. Imagine this monstrosity falling on you in the middle of the night.
All three headphones will be available from July at various retailers, while the monitors have a more vague release date of ‘summer 2022’ for the Inzone M9 and ‘winter 2022’ for the M3. The latter is still waiting for a price as well.
On the display front, it’s worth noting that the Inzone M9 has a 144Hz refresh rate and 4K resolution. It’s a rarity, but it will gladly fit into our roundup of the best 4K 144Hz displays, I’m sure. Now for the specs and prices!

Pictured above, from left to right, are the Inzone M3 and Inzone M9 gaming monitors. They look incredibly similar, but I promise they are two different product photos. It’s also worth noting that while the headphones are on Sony’s Australian website, the monitors aren’t. Therefore, there is no pricing or release date information for this region at this time.

They Inzone M3 and Inzone M9 are very similar models, so the choice comes down to whether you want to fork out a 144Hz/4K monitor.
While Sony is targeting PC gamers with its Inzone-branded collection, PS5 owners should definitely look into peripherals. The colors are begging to be matched with your black and white monolith.
Everything is available for pre-order now, with the exception of the Inzone M3, but you can bookmark it and come back to see when they open.
