Compare Cooler Master CH351 Gaming Headset vs Sony Inzone H6 Air

There is no strong case for active noise canceling here; one included review flatly says the headset is not noise-canceling.

Reviewers did not find the H6 Air to be a noise-canceling headset; open-back design and direct comments point buyers needing ANC elsewhere.

Android support is explicitly listed for the CH351, making mobile pairing part of its intended use case.

Android use was reported as functional through the dongle or phone testing, though app features were not supported outside the PC environment.

Software support is inconsistent in the included reviews, ranging from no companion app at all to optional PC software on another Cooler Master unit.

The INZONE Hub app unlocks EQ, presets, spatial options, and profiles, but reviewers repeatedly described the software as basic or limited.

Bass is a recurring strength, delivering weighty explosions and energetic low end without fully burying other cues.

Bass was generally praised as surprisingly strong for an open-back headset, though one reviewer still wanted more low-end impact.

Because the H6 Air is wired, one reviewer treated the lack of battery management as a clear advantage rather than a battery-life feature.

Wireless stability is the CH351's biggest weakness, with persistent static and buzzing reported even during active use.

Reviewers consistently characterized the headset as wired-only, making Bluetooth essentially absent rather than a strength.

Material quality looks decent for the money, though not every component feels equally premium.

Build quality was mostly praised for sturdy aluminum and solid feel despite the very light chassis, with one review calling some plastic less sturdy.

The included DAC/audio box was useful for access and convenience, but one reviewer felt it did little to improve the sound.

Control usability varies sharply, from simple inline buttons on one review unit to a crowded, error-prone earcup layout on the other.

Controls were simple and easy to understand, with praise for the mute button but mixed views on the cheap-feeling or basic volume control.

The CH331's permanently attached fabric-wrapped cable is long, practical for desk use and presented as a solid part of the package.

Cable impressions were mixed: the included analog cable was detachable and usefully long, but one review found the wire excessively long.

Clamp was repeatedly described as light and low-pressure, helping comfort over longer play sessions.

Long-session comfort is mixed: soft pads help, but weight and head pressure are recurring complaints.

Comfort was one of the strongest points, with reviewers saying it could be worn for hours and sometimes forgotten on the head.

Connectivity was flexible for a wired headset through 3.5mm and USB-C/DAC paths, but the desk-tethered nature remained a limitation.

Console support was generally positive for PlayStation and USB-C profile transfer, while Xbox use carried software and controller-related restrictions.

Styling lands well in both reviews, whether you prefer playful colorways or a more subdued black-on-black look.

The design was repeatedly described as modern, minimal, sleek, and recognizably Sony rather than aggressively gamer-styled.

Cable convenience is mixed across the included reviews, with one headset using a removable aux cable and the other a fixed cord.

The detachable 3.5mm analog cable was specifically noted as an included convenience.

A detachable boom mic adds welcome flexibility for switching between gaming use and a cleaner everyday setup.

The microphone is detachable across the product evidence, making boom mic removal a consistent convenience.

The CH351 includes a 2.4GHz USB-C dongle, but the wireless experience is undermined by static noise.

The dongle/audio box adds USB-C access and software profile support, though reviewers differed on how useful it was beyond that.

The ear pads are a consistent positive, described as soft faux/protein leather and generally comfortable on the ears.

Earpad comfort was mostly positive, especially softness and plushness, though SoundGuys found the cloth texture rough.

Cup movement is limited overall; the CH331 cups pivot outward but do not offer especially generous articulation.

Swivel and rotation range earned strong praise where tested, including full rotation and flat stowage support.

One review showed the pads snapping off and back on, suggesting replacement access is workable.

EQ customization is weak overall, either missing entirely or present but not especially effective.

EQ customization is available through INZONE Hub, with custom presets and 10-band EQ, but reviewers wanted deeper fine tuning in places.

Fit was reported as reliable despite the lightweight, low-clamp construction, with no major fit failures noted.

Reviewers cited strong footstep clarity and FPS preset help, though this is more tuning clarity than a dedicated scaling feature.

The drivers reproduce both heavy bass and finer ambient details well enough to sound convincing, even if the signature is not neutral.

Measured frequency response was described as close to the SoundGuys preference curve, with noted bass and treble deviations.

The CH331 offers useful headband extension, giving it enough adjustment range for fit tuning.

Headband adjustment was broadly useful, but some reviewers disliked the notched or less precise adjustment mechanism.

Durability around the flexible structure looked reassuring in one stress-focused review, which found it moldable rather than fragile.

The CH351 package is well equipped with a dongle, aux cable and detachable microphone.

Included accessories covered the USB-C audio box, analog cable, microphone, stickers, and documents depending on the review.

The reviews point to good layer separation, making footsteps, ambience and soundtrack elements easier to distinguish.

Instrument and sound separation were generally strong, especially for music, though one gaming-focused take called separation only decent.

Microphone functionality is a core feature across the included reviews, even though the exact implementation differs.

The headset includes a boom microphone that can be attached or removed rather than relying on an invisible mic-only design.

At high volume, one reviewer found no noticeable sibilance, supporting clean output when cranked.

Microphone quality was widely praised as clear, natural, full, or among the better headset microphones, despite environment sensitivity.

The CH351 mic does a notably good job suppressing nearby household noise in the included test.

Mic noise handling was mixed: some reviews heard decent rejection, while others said it picked up the environment easily.

On the CH351, the detachable mic is clear and loud enough for chat or streaming without sounding thin.

Voice quality for chat and calls was positive, with reviewers describing clear, crisp, natural, and meeting-ready capture.

Midrange detail is solid for the class, with dialogue and vocal texture coming through better than a typical one-note budget tuning.

Midrange was praised for vocal presence, dialogue clarity, and detailed mids.

The CH351 stands out for broad platform support across consoles, computers and mobile devices.

Platform compatibility was broad across PC, PlayStation, Mac, mobile, Android, Xbox, and Switch mentions, though app support was narrower.

Passive isolation is limited, with one review explicitly noting that room sounds still bleed through.

Passive isolation was poor by design, with open backs allowing sound in and only slight attenuation measured.

Packaging was praised for mostly cardboard construction and apparent lack of plastic.

Portability is not a strength, as the included evidence points to a desk-first design rather than a travel-friendly one.

Portability is better than many full-size headsets because the cups fold flat, though the wired open-back design still limits travel use.

Positional audio was a repeated strength, from stereo imaging and pinpointing to directional cues in shooters.

Preset tuning is not a standout, with profiles either absent or too similar and bass-skewed to feel useful.

Preset profiles were useful for RPG/adventure and immersive play, although reviewers disliked some modes and wanted deeper control.

The earpads appeared removable in one review, snapping back into place after inspection.

RGB lighting exists on the CH331, but control is minimal and limited to basic on or off behavior rather than real customization.

Sidetone exists, but reviewers found it limited or unnecessary because the open-back design already lets users hear themselves.

Basic setup is easy enough, but the overall experience is weakened by limited customization and, on the CH351, awkward controls.

Setup was simple thanks to wired plug-and-play use, no battery, no drivers in one case, and no account requirement for key features.

Sound leakage was the most consistent weakness, with reviewers saying audio leaks out clearly and can act like small speakers.

The included reviews consistently praise big, immersive gaming sound, although the CH351's wireless buzzing drags down the overall experience. Both reviews paint wired operation as a strong scenario, with seamless connection and better overall sound performance.

Overall sound quality was the central praise point, described as clear, engaging, natural, and excellent for both gaming and music.

Wide staging is one of the clearest strengths, helping worlds feel larger and positional cues easier to place.

The open-back soundstage was consistently described as wide, broad, immersive, and more spacious than closed-back headsets.

Spatial or virtual surround performance is a real highlight, adding convincing depth and directionality in games.

Spatial audio was mixed: built-in spaciousness impressed, but Sony’s 360/software spatial modes divided reviewers.

On-head stability is only average, with one review noting that the headset can slide around during movement.

Stability was helped by the textured earpads and secure fit, with no repeated sliding complaints.

Treble detail is good enough to keep smaller environmental sounds audible, including birds, crackling fire and distant effects.

Treble was generally clear and non-jarring, though SoundGuys noted reduced brilliance in the upper treble.

USB-C is part of the CH351 setup, appearing in its dongle and port layout.

USB-C support came through the included audio box or adapter and was repeatedly mentioned as a practical connection option.

Value was debated: reviewers praised the sound and comfort for the price but also called $200 high for a wired headset.

Volume output is described as lively and forceful, with enough punch to make games and music sound exciting.

Volume output could get very loud, with reviewers discussing ear-splitting or cranked listening while still noting clarity.

Water resistance is effectively absent, with SoundGuys stating there is no IP rating.

Both reviews call the headset noticeably heavy, which becomes more obvious the longer you wear it.

Low weight was a standout strength across reviews, repeatedly measured around 199 grams and described as feather-light.

Xbox support is not a strength in the included evidence, and one review specifically steers Xbox shoppers toward other models.

Xbox compatibility exists through controller or testing mentions, but software and USB-C profile benefits are less straightforward than PC or PlayStation.
