Design
The fit of the headphones.
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

Sony Inzone H9: Not applicable
A long cable ensures more freedom of movement.
RGB lighting allows you to choose between millions of colors and customize the look of your PC components.
It can be folded into a more compact form.
The device is designed in a way that allows sound to go out through the back of the ear cups, which usually have vents or perforations. This design provides very natural and accurate sound.
The cable is designed to minimize tangling.
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
Sound quality
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
Surround sound provides a more immersive listening experience. True surround sound uses multiple audio drivers, whereas virtual surround sound is a software-based solution.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
impedance

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Sony Inzone H9)
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Microphone
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
The lowest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording bass.
The highest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording treble.
The microphone can be attached or detached if necessary.
The device has an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
mic sensitivity

It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
Power
The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
battery power

Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
Connectivity
The connectivity type of the headset.
The systems that the headset is compatible with, according to the manufacturer.
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
aptx Adaptive is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices.
aptX Low Latency is a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag (e.g. when playing games).
LDAC is a codec developed by Sony for Bluetooth audio. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high resolution audio. It can also automatically adjust to a lower bitrate of 330kbps or 660kbps to increase stability.
aptX HD is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It supports high quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
Features
There is a control panel on the device body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
multipoint count

The Penrose one of the best you can get for gaming

The Penrose has one of the best speakers you can get for gaming. The 100mm planar magnetic are some of the best around. The sound quality is so good you will swear the game is alive in your head. So moving onto the headset its self. The build quality is good with reinforced heavy plastics a cushy head rest and ear cups. The cups are a cooling foam with a faux leather exterior. The wireless feature works very well with the provided USB dongle. I have used it on both my Xbox Series X and My gaming PC. The Bluetooth is 5.0 and excellent quality but I always use the wireless feature and pair it with my phone. While the battery is lacking at 15 hours of play time it's not to bad, and the USB-C charging is fast. Comes with a phone and PC apps to adjust the headset and update it. All in all on of the best headsets on the market, and if you have the extra money it is well worth it.

I've been gaming with different headsets for over 30 years.You have to experience the soundstage & imaging for yourself to believe it. I even prefer my audeze to my more expensive audiophile openbacks.Just look after them,don't throw them around & you will be fine.
