Edit: Someone already grabbed the one H7 they had in stock; I knew it wouldn't last long at $79.
HOWEVER...there are at least 5 open box H7s in stock for $59 shipped, if anyone wants to roll the dice on an open box item. I personally have had great luck buying from Secondipity. Link:

I wear a 7_1/8ish hat and the clamping factor of both the pulse 3d and arctis 7p+ feels like a vise on my head. That is greatly alleviated with the H9, although they do occasionally try to flop off my head if i lean too far forward too quickly.
Overall i think the H7s are probably a good deal for the sale price but not for MSRP.
With that being said, and after lots of near daily use, the foam/pleather center piece of the headband iny H9s has become unattached and now the foam pad comes off. So def look into the warranty or an extended warranty or on ebay/AliExpress for replacement foam parts for the H7. I think its a defect in the glue vs being from just wear and tear so it may be covered by Sony but its annoying that an expensive headset feels cheapish.
Edit: It looked to me like Secondipity had the whole Inzone line of headsets available with good sales. Pretty sure I saw the H9 at half price. Makes me tempted to jump on a H7/H9 but I'm going to disregard that temptation. I was going to make a post for Armored Core but when I went back to get the link, I couldn't find it. Not sure but I'm thinking maybe there was only one copy because it isn't on there now. Search "Playstation" and it was on the 6th page of results out of like 14.

If i was to knock the headset anywhere it would be in general build quality and management of the device. The build quality is good in my opinion but not great and not what you would normally expect for a pair of headphones that originally retailed for over $200. Likewise, while the sound on the headset can be adjusted using equalizers and you can also setup a personalized profile, that all has to be done using the Inzone app for PC. Unless I have missed something, there isn't a way to change your sound profile on the playstation and I am not sure if any sound changes made on the PC side carry over.
All that said, while I don't think the H7 is worth anywhere near the $229 MSRP, I am pretty happy with the H7s for the price I paid. They are definitely better than most other headsets that I have tried in the $100-$150 price range. I think the H7s can still be ordered new from Amazon for $120 right now. Just an FYI since it I don't think it has been mentioned, the H7s are being retired and replaced by the H5s and they have recently introduced dedicated gaming earbuds as well. Not sure if the new hardware uses any of the tech from Audeze but I wouldn't be surprised if both the H3 and H9s are also replaced sooner rather than later.

Absolute best case scenario, this was just opened and returned. Worst case scenario, they're used.
