Secondipity has the new Sony INZONE H3 Wired Gaming Headset MDR-G300 With Boom Mic And 360 Spatial Sound For Playstation 5 / PC on sale for $39.99. Shipping is free. I expect these to sell out quickly at this price; these are $98-$99 at Amazon, Walmart, Target.
I would have, but there's only one in stock and I don't want to mislead anyone. If you're an INZONE owner, can you give us a short opinion on them?
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:

For the people considering the H7s, Ive got the H9 and in terms of comfort they are considerably better for me than my pulse 3d and arctis 7p+. I think the H7 should be the same because the frame looks the same.
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.
I didn't bother with the deal listed here though it does appear to be a good deal. Ive got a couple sets of Sony Golds from the PS4 era and I haven't used either one in years so figure Id be wasting my money getting a headset. I did find the new Armored Core game on Secondipity though and bought that for PS5 for a hair under $30 with taxes. I figure that I'd probably be waiting into next year to get another opportunity at AC for under $30 as I doubt it goes that low during the holiday sales.
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.
I can add some feedback about the H7s. I picked up a pair for <$95 from Amazon last week and so far I am pretty happy with them. Between having a larger than average noggin and wearing glasses, I have a hard time finding headsets that fit comfortably. These do a nice job of clamping down tightly enough to offer solid sound but not so tightly that they are constantly putting pressure on my glasses or ears. I know sound quality is always going to be somewhat subjective with headsets but overall I am pretty impressed especially with the 360 audio on PS5. Battery life also seems to be pretty close to the promised 40 hours in that I have been using them a couple hours a day most days this week and still have over 50% battery life showing. I have not tested bluetooth connectivity or the microphone but supposedly those work well.
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.
Just glanced over the ad and thought it was the Epos H3 Hybrid. I got those last week and absolutely love them. As a Sony fan, I'm probably going to pick these up to add to the collection. Thanks OP.

My H3 headphones arrived today. Opened the bag and it was obvious the seal on the box was broken. Opened the box and it was evident someone had been there before me as the cardboard protection on the earpieces were bent and detached. Wrote to them with pics, we'll see what the excuse was. The invoice states clearly... "NEW" not refurb or used or openbox. I suppose that's important on a company called SECONDipity.

$59? I guess they are all gone? I only see $150 for the used H7s and H9s
