Pros and cons

According to our gaming headset expert

Thanks to the noise canceling microphone, you're always clearly audible.
Dolby 7.1 surround sound produces a spatial audio, so you always hear from which direction exactly your opponents are coming.
This headset is wireless, so you can sit further from the TV, and you're not bound to your controller.
The headset isn't collapsible, making it less easy to take it along with you.

Description

Use the EPOS H3 PRO Hybrid Gaming Headset on all your favorite platforms. Thanks to noise canceling, you aren't bothered by ambient noise while gaming. You connect the headset with the console cable or via Bluetooth. If you game on your PC, you can take advantage of Virtual Surround Sound via the EPOS Gaming Suite. Here, you can perfect the audio settings to suit your preferences. In addition, the headset is suitable for on the go.

Beoordeling is 9,2 van de 10.

Excels in comfort and quality, but is expensive.

Feels very sturdy & robust
High quality materials
Fits comfortably, lightweight
Price is slightly exaggerated

After using the comparable Logitech G633 Artemis Spectrum for several years, my first impression of the EPOS H3 Pro Hybrid in terms of wearing comfort and build quality is a breath of fresh air. Light but not feather light. Extremely solidly built; no wobbly, creaky or loose ear cups. However you hold these headphones, you immediately feel that they are an impressive build quality.

The pros explain themselves, I would like to nuance the negatives:

The accompanying cable is short. The Logitech G633 had a 3m cable (versus 2m). This made it possible to lay the cable over and behind my desk and plug it into the back of the PC. Because the cable is now only 2m long, everything has to be done from the front, not ideal, but can perhaps be solved by looking for a suitable and longer cable.

Small ear cups. These headphones are among the most comfortable I've ever worn. Light, superb quality, the top that rests on your head has 2 pressure points and does not hurt even after wearing it all day. Unlike the heavy Logitech G633.

BUT: For those with larger-than-average ears, the ear cups on the H3 Pro Hybrid may be just a little too small. For comparison: the auricle opening of my previous G633 is slightly more than 7cm in height. Those of the H3 Pro Hybrid are barely 6cm. There is an even greater difference in width. This promotes the otherwise fantastic noise cancellation, but if your ears don't fit, headphones are of no use.

The accompanying software is borderline worthless. The few useful functions are: switching between Stereo and 7.1 Surround (can also be controlled via the "Smart" button). The only default sound preset that sounds decent is "Music". The other useful thing about the software is that you can see the battery percentage. For example, the volume of the voice that tells you whether you are connected via the Dongle cannot be adjusted. Logitech is much stronger and more comprehensive when it comes to accompanying software.

The volume control on the headset itself isn't great. You can adjust the knob 3, 4, 5 "steps" without anything happening, but the sixth "step" then picks an arbitrary volume adjustment somewhere between 2% and 10%.

Finally, the price. All in all, this is a pearl of headphones that excel in almost all areas. But some features drive the price up unnecessarily. The microphone is detachable with a magnetic system, the noise canceling works great, but because the ear cups are Closed Ear and fit well, you hear little background noise anyway. The quality of the sound itself is top-notch, but not necessarily groundbreaking. There are plenty of reasonably priced gaming headsets that deliver equally high quality sound. For example, the G633 is/was very similar and also had the Stereo/Surround function.

That's all I could notice after 24 hours with these headphones so far.

Am I picky about gaming equipment and am I happy with my purchase? Yes and yes. But I'm sure there are nearly equivalent yet cheaper alternatives.

Beoordeling is 6,8 van de 10.

Very disappointing for the price

Sound quality is ok
Noise cancellation works properly
Comfortable even after a day of wearing
Bluetooth connection very bad

The first copy already did not work the wireless dongle. Replacement works properly, but it sometimes takes more than 30s to connect wirelessly (BT or dongle makes no difference) and it still drops out regularly. Battery doesn't last more than a few hours after a few months. The built-in voice that gives you all kinds of notifications sometimes does not take into account the chosen volume, so that it is screaming in your ears.

Beoordeling is 10 van de 10.

As an audiophile, this makes me very happy

Connect via USB-C, dongle, 3.5mm plug and Bluetooth. 3 connections at the same time and it works very smoothly
The quality of the supplied mic is very good
Very good headset via usb stick and bluetooth, but via an amplifier (I have epos gsx 1000 2nd gen) the sound is of a completely different level. Can't call it less than studio quality

The headset is truly fantastic from design to sound to comfort. For someone who really wants extremely high quality sound I recommend connecting it via an amplifier (epos gsx 1000 I have but you also have them from 100 euros. A world of difference and definitely worth the extra money. In particular this works great for gaming!
