Sony Expands Gaming Gear Range with INZONE H6 Air

 





Sony is expanding its range of gaming gear with the introduction of two new models – the INZONE H6 Air


The INZONE H6 Air offers an immersive gaming experience backed by the open-back acoustic structure and the custom drivers. It produces deep and tight bass thanks to the back ducts integrated into the drivers. 


INZONE H6 Air – clear, immersive sound that enhances every gaming experience



With an open-back structure the INZONE H6 Air offers a realistic immersive sound field that makes you feel as if you are in the game space. The open-back acoustic design minimizes internal reflections by leaving the housing unobstructed. This enables accurate sound field reproduction exactly as intended by game creators, delivering a realistic audio experience that makes you feel truly inside the game world.


The headset features precision-tuned driver units engineered with the same technology as Sony’s renowned MDR-MV1 open-back studio monitor headphones and specially adapted for the INZONE H6 Air. Back ducts integrated into the driver unit help deliver deep and controlled bass reproduction, while maintaining clear separation of mid and low frequencies. This delivers even more immersive audio ideal for games rich in sound detail. 



Crafted with premium aluminium, the INZONE H6 Air achieves an incredibly light weight of only 199g (without detachable microphone and cable), making them Sony’s lightest gaming headsets. The INZONE H6 Air uses the same spring hinge headband design seen in the INZONE H9 II, to maintain a compact size whilst not compromising on comfort and stability. This ultra-light body and unique structure of the INZONE H6 Air deliver exceptional comfort, making it perfect for long gaming sessions.



Developed with sound designers from PlayStation Studios at Sony Interactive Entertainment, who produce audio for PlayStation games, Sony has created the “RPG/Adventure” equalizer profile. This profile applies audio processing optimized for RPG and Adventure game titles, recreating the acoustic experience of a sound studio and delivering an overwhelmingly immersive listening experience. This can be accessed by connecting to INZONE Hub via the USB-C Audio Box, which also offers virtual 7.1ch surround sound with 360 Spatial Sound for Gaming.


The INZONE H6 Air also features an adjustable cardioid mic delivering a clear and natural voice. The cardioid boom mic focuses on voice and is angled towards the user’s mouth to eliminate side noise and the long, flexible arm stays where it is set. 



Fnatic Edition input devices

Inspired by Fnatic’s iconic signature orange, new Fnatic Editions of INZONE Mouse-A, INZONE Mat-F and INZONE Mat-D are now available marking another step in the collaboration between Sony and Fnatic and making Fnatic always present in your daily gaming experience – visible, vibrant and part of every moment. The INZONE Mat-F mousepad features a design inspired by Fnatic and its Valorant team and INZONE Mat-D features a black to orange gradient mousepad.




INZONE Buds Glass Purple

Discover the new translucent Glass Purple edition of INZONE Buds, Sony’s truly wireless noise cancelling gaming earbuds. With three colour options available, black, white and glass purple you can choose the one that most suits your style. 



Pricing and availability

The INZONE H6 Air will be available on May 15 2026 in select authorized Sony dealers. The Fnatic orange edition INZONE Mouse A, INZONE Mat-F and INZONE Mat-D are now available at Sony Centre SM Megamall and Datablitz, together with the INZONE Buds Glass Purple.

Sony Philippines Brings the Wedding Industry’s Top Creatives Together at the Manila Wedding Masterclass

 

My Sony Members gathered for Sony’s Manila Wedding Masterclass


Sony Philippines has set the stage for the biggest wedding-focused event date with the Manila Wedding Masterclass which took place at Enderun Events, Taguig. Exclusively for My Sony members, the masterclass marks a milestone for the local wedding community–becoming the first-ever Sony event to unite all Sony Alpha professionals specializing in weddings in one immersive experience.



Sony Alpha Professionals Industry leaders in Wedding Storytelling with Sony Philippines


Created for wedding photographers, videographers, and hybrid shooters, the Sony’s Manila Wedding Masterclass is designed to mirror the pace, pressure, and beauty of a real wedding day. Through structured talks, live shooting sessions, and hands-on gear experience, Sony reinforces its commitment to empowering creatives–while rewarding My Sony members with access to premium, member-only events.


A welcome address from Sony Philippines’ President and Managing Director, Mr. Shuhei Sugihara, setting the time for a full-day deep dive into wedding storytelling. Attendees are then introduced to Sony’s imaging philosophy and wedding-focused innovations, with a spotlight on the Sony Alpha 7 V, a camera built to keep up with fast-moving, once-in-a-lifetime moments.


At the core of the masterclass are the industry leaders who have shaped modern wedding storytelling in the Philippines featuring the country’s top wedding storytellers: Jaja Samagiego, Jason Magbanua, Jiggie Alejandrino, Pilar Bonnin, and Sherard Yu. All proud Sony users, they offered insights into the art and technicalities of capturing weddings where every moment counts in a panel discussion. 


Jaja Samaniego leads an engaging session to create meaningful wedding imagery


Social media has reshaped how couples envision their weddings, but according to renowned wedding photographer Jaja Samaniego: “For me, social media isn't always a bad thing. It’s opened up more ideas, inspiration, and opportunities for us to collaborate with clients. Just like architects, we build each visual story around our couples.” she shared, emphasizing how wedding storytelling is built around understanding emotions and connecting with clients to bring out authentic moments.


Jason Magbanua demonstrates real-time editing techniques for Same Day Edit videos


Celebrated wedding videographer and visual storyteller Jason Magbanua noted that while online trends can sometimes pressure couples to follow what they see, the key lies in focusing on what genuinely reflects their story. “I create wedding films in a style that is true to who I am, and naturally, I attract clients who connect with that vision. Being firm in your creative voice is what makes the work meaningful for the audience.


Jiggie Alejandrino shares lighting techniques for weddings or pre-nup shoots


Meanwhile, respected photographer and lighting specialist Jiggie Alejandrino highlighted the balance between personal style and client needs. “Clients hire you based on your creative style, but every couple is different. I make sure to give them what they want first, and then I experiment after. At the end of the day, I’m not doing this for myself–I’m capturing the day for the couple who trusts me.


Sherard Yu leads a live demonstration on filming couple wedding scenes


Renowned wedding videographer Sherard Yu also highlighted the capabilities of Sony’s latest mirrorless cameras “As a hybrid shooter, the Sony α7 V has the best features similar to Sony α1 II. As a hybrid shooter, I am confident that I can take both photos and videos well using this.” When asked about his thoughts on wedding trends, “I think that it allows us to experiment a bit more as the process does evolve over time, and yet the essence is still the same for weddings. You just have to learn how to adapt with the technology that comes with it.”


Pilar Bonnin discusses bridal portrait techniques 


As a specialist in wedding portraits, Pilar Bonnin also shared her advice on how she keeps her ideas fresh and avoid repetition: “Step outside the genre you’re doing and get into something else. It inspires and intrigues you to fuel the flame again. As for me, since I can’t paint, I take pictures. I study lighting and other creative portraits. At the end of the day, I think you owe it to the couple so try to snap out of it and have a conversation that will inspire you.” said Pilar. “Be humble and learn. Never stop learning.”


After the discussion, participants immerse themselves in the Touch and Try sessions, experiencing realistic wedding scenarios across two setups. Indoors, Sherard Yu demonstrates capturing cinematic wedding videos, while Jason Magbanua leads a hands-on session on directing and editing techniques for wedding filmmaking. Outdoors, Jaja Samaniego led a natural light and storytelling setup at the Atrium Façade, while Jiggie Alejandrino focused on lighting, composition, and elegant portrait creation at the Fountain Area. The garden setup with Pilar Bonnin explored a fine-art, emotive approach to portraits, allowing participants to practice in lifelike wedding environments using Sony cameras and lenses.


The Touch and Try sessions were designed to give participants hands-on experience, offering real-life scenarios and practical techniques that they can apply with their own clients. Each station showcased a unique approach to wedding storytelling, guided by the Sony Alpha Professionals and wedding industry leaders.

My Sony Members practice their skills during the Touch and Try session


Sony Philippines also announced this year’s contest giveaways where participants can join and share their favorite event highlights and behind-the-scenes moments for a chance to win premium Sony gear, including the Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II and a G Master Premium Kit, along with special prizes from partner brands Benro, Epson, Gutek, Hollyland, and Nanlite.


Connecting wedding storytellers from Metro Manila, the Manila Wedding Masterclass stands as a defining moment for Sony Philippines’ wedding intiatives–bringing together education, inspiration, and appreciation in one landmark event for the wedding photography and filmmaking community.

Sony releases the FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS (SEL100M28GM), the first medium telephoto macro lens in the G Master™ series, compatible with α™ (Alpha™) E-mount cameras, featuring 1.4x magnification, advanced stabilisation, and intuitive handling. 

Beyond Life Size 

The FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS achieves a maximum magnification of 1.4x, making it easy to capture flowers, small objects, and other close-up subjects in vivid detail, revealing subtle textures and features that are difficult to take by the naked eye. 

Compatible with an optional teleconverter1(sold separately), the lens offers up to 2.8x magnification2. This enables impressive close-up shots while keeping a comfortable working distance. It is ideal for subjects that are hard to approach or for avoiding unwanted reflections. 

State-of-the-art Hardware Design 

The optical design effectively positions elements including two XA (extreme aspherical) lenses and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to achieve high-resolution

performance from the center to the periphery of the image, reducing chromatic and other aberrations. 

To allow precise and intuitive focus adjustments for a variety of macro photography scenes, the lens offers three focus-dedicated features: a "Full-time DMF switch" enables instant MF (manual focus) by rotating the focus ring, even in AF (autofocus) mode; the "Focus Mode switch" allows instant switching between AF and MF; the "Sliding Focus Ring" enables FULL MF mode, linked to the distance and magnification scales. 

The four unique XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors that enable high-speed, high-precision and quiet lens drive, make autofocus (AF) performance up to approximately 1.9 times faster3 than previous models. 

A dedicated aperture ring offers quick, direct control over aperture settings. 

Exquisite Image Quality 

The 11-blade circular aperture produces beautiful, ball bokeh, while carefully controlled spherical aberration ensures an ideal balance of resolution and background blur – creating the signature creamy bokeh of the G Master line. 

The unique "Nano AR Coating II" applies a uniform thin film to the entire lens surface, resulting in clear image quality that suppresses flare and ghosting even in backlit conditions.
