EPOSH3 Hybrid - Closed Acoustic Gaming Headset With Bluetooth - USB-A PC & 3.5mm Console Cable - Dual Microphones - Lightweight - Easy Adjustment - Long Battery Life - Multi-Platform Compatible Black

For so long I have been waiting for an affordable pair of headphones with a mixing feature. These have finally given me that.EPOS is a brand that really impresses me, they always do something unique with their gaming headphones rather than just going for the typical RGB and microphone design that pretty much all other brands do.Usually I'm not a fan of the audio of their headphones and this is no exception, the sound of these is really nothing special but it's not bad either. Just an average pair of headphones.Where these really shine is definitely the features and comfort. They have the really cool earpads that I love, with the pleather on the outer part and fabric where it touches your head, this gives you both sound isolation and comfort in 1.There is a built in mic with this and it is detachable, I really love how you get a little plate to put over the mic port when the mic is detached, they still look a bit too gamer for me to take out in public with me though.So why do I like these so much?Like I said at the start, these have a mixing feature, you can use both wired and bluetooth audio at the same time, no switching between, both audio sources coming out of the headphones. This is a feature which I really feel like gets ignored for headphones, especially those intended for use with the Nintendo Switch.If you play a lot of multiplayer games on the switch you will know that it doesn't [usually] support voice chat. These headphones will allow you to plug your switch in using the wire and have your phone connected to discord or something with bluetooth so you can hear your friends and your game at the same time.I like to watch movies and stuff while grinding in a game so these also come in handy for that, I can hear the movie and the game.As far as I know there's no way to control how loud each source is on the headphones themselves, that's definitely one thing I would improve. I had the steelseries arctis pro wireless a while back and that had a feature like that.Really a brilliant new headset from EPOS and I can't wait to see what they bring out next!Thanks for reading!

My partner and I love gaming, and we have a baby now so we need the noise to all be contained, and every now and then my partner has time to play online and needed a new headset. I've never heard of this brand before but these are amazing.Pros:- Phenomenal sound quality- Really plush and comfortable to wear- Magnetic mouthpiece is a great design- Can connect to two devices simultaneouslyCons:- Epos gaming suite only seems to only be compatible with Windows 10I was a little unsure about these at first, just because they seem so simple, but I've been very pleasantly surprised.First off, the sound quality is insane, handling both highs and lows with great clarity and no washout, even at high volumes they don't distort. I can get a good amount of bass with rock and metal music too: generally they haven't failed to perform in any situation!The depth you get in-game is very immersive, with ambience and gunshots crisp with great variable volume. They aren't marketed as noise-cancelling but you can barely hear any background noise with these on! The mic too is crystal clear without having to have it too close to your mouth.The headphones fit really snugly on. The earpads are so comfortable and the tightness is perfect: they have adjustable arms for different head sizes and they're comfy for both my small head and my partner's medium head.The controls are really straightforward, without too much functionality to complicate anything: just a plain and simple volume dial, power and Bluetooth buttons. You can connect them with aux or BT to two devices which is really useful if you're gaming and chatting on another platform, and I had no issues with connectivity at all.The only issue that I had is that there doesn't seem to be any Android support for the software so I couldn't get it on my chromebook. But the headphones work without it so it's not a big deal, and I can get it on my Windows 10 machine.Overall, I can honestly say this is a really good piece of kit, with awesome audio quality and generally it's a pleasure to use and sounds great. And the ear pieces are the most comfortable ones I've ever used in a set of headphones; given the value of them, you'd expect good quality, and I'd say they are worth it for the excellent sound experience.Highly recommended for gamers and audio snobs, and music fanatics alike.

Hooked these up to my Xbox & I have to say, very impressed!! There's plenty of padding, they adjust well & the pivot on each earpiece allows it to sit well, against your head. They're very, very comfortable, even for a long gaming session!! They're actually more comfortable than my rather expensive Sennheisers. They're also heavier, but these are carrying a battery, microphone & boom, Bluetooth circuit... So we'll allow for a little extra weight.They do need to be powered on to use, thought they might have had a passive mode, but no. Charging via a USB C cable.They do have an unusual trick up their sleeve, in that you can be plugged into a game (I'll plug into my Xbox pad if I'm using the mic during a game, but my hifi amp if I'm not using the mic) & connect via Bluetooth to another device & listen to a phonecall or music, while the game audio plays at the same time. You could also Bluetooth your game audio via the TV & do away with the cable.The sound quality is good, not as boomy as other headsets, verging on the sharp sounding, but it's clear & defined.The mic is completely removable & a blanking disc is provided to cover the gap it'll leave behind. This matches the jog-wheel on the other earpiece that controls the volume.Overall, a very accomplished pair of headphones, comfortable, they sound good, they have Bluetooth, the mic removes & they're very nicely made. They are expensive though.... I'd say 4.5 stars, but can't knock a full star off for price, when you know what you're paying, so they get the full 5 stars.
