EPOS Gaming H3 Hybrid Review Follow Up | One Month Later I Missed Two MAJOR ISSUES

[@aladin_7374]

I own this headset for 2 months now and here is my opinion : -Sound is amazing, better than other models i had to compare with like Logitech (G pro X) and Corsair models (hs80 and Virtuoso SE), far ahead imo thank to Sennheiser expertise. -Comfort is amazing (the earcup material is amazing, not too hot or too cold) and very light, you can wear it for hours. - Software not compatible with w11, and therefore it does not recognise my headset.. so unable to use 7.1 and presets and until now EPOS didn't update their software which is a real shame. - Battery charging issue. Since few days, my headset refuses to be charged, tried different cable, different USB port..nothing. I am returning it and requesting a replacement as i believe no other wireless headset provide this quality of sound (7.1) and comfort with a flip flop microphone/easy-to-mute mic.

[@Lletan]

Do you have any update on the w11 compatibility? I'm considering buying this but that would make me wait ... or pick another in the meantime probably.

[@aladin_7374]

@@Lletan It is now compatible with windows 11 ! I got as well a remplacement from EPOS and now, no issues at all

[@Lletan]

@@aladin_7374 Thank you:) That's very helpful!

@@Lletan hey bro.is everything okay with the new one?and i wonder howlong the battery last?

[@Lletan]

@@E.D-07 I haven't bought any headset yet, my old is miracilously hanging on since I seriously started looking for a new one.. sorry bro

[@pulgadapraia]

Currently at 45 euros at amazon (Spain). At that price point I'm willing to give it a try. Crossing my fingers

[@danielainesurbina930]

Hola, como te fue?

[@LOCKonPS]

Epos answered your questions? Or any follow with the issues?

[@xhaustedgamer]

I just brought mine brand new from GameStop last night. I plugged it into charge and now it WILL NOT TURN ON!! WTF!

[@ScourgedAZ]

Same here man, got it from gamestop and it won't turn on, also bought a bum xbox at the same time but that's a whole other story

[@xhaustedgamer]

@@ScourgedAZ damn bro! They were amazing too!

The pop might be the headset trying to mute surounding sounds

[@Didric1]

Informative, calm and straight to the point. Love it. Thanks for a good video!

[@StreamGearTalk]

Anytime thank you

[@old-skoolz]

I believe that if Epos drop an update the mic issue can be fixed

[@noykrub]

crackling mic issue have been fixed in H3 pro hybird ? do you know ?

[@raymondpardo386]

I bought the headset and it doesn’t work for chat on my series X .

[@themaddaddy]

just bought this headset today but the dongle is not working pls help

[@ALFAGamer92]

you can't use only the usb?

[@kimberlidiazz]

How do I connect it to my Xbox one s?

[@michaelmarkham2102]

I need someone to answer this question for me: I have an opportunity to get this headset brand new for half price and I'm wondering if the £120 would be considered a steal or can I get better with my money

[@SaidMetiche-qy9hb]

What would you suggest as an alternative? These headsets are really cheap now where I am.

[@AnyNotEverything]

i'm pretty sure you can use just the usbc cable without the 3.5

[@ActuallyDKM]

Have they made the mic any better via software updates?

[@K.i.w.1]

Can you guys update you're headset?

[@myketuna]

Powered on to use via 3.5mm is definitely trash. Good video!

[@StreamGearTalk]

Thank you! I’m very disappointed because outside of these two issues it’s not a bad headset.

[@jcap8391]

@@StreamGearTalk I'm so confused the hs80 had a major hick up with not being completely wireless. Read the most viewed negative review on Amazon.😭 Roccat wireless headphones?

[@StreamGearTalk]

I actually (sadly) own a pair of roccat wireless headphones (Elo air) and they are terrible. The sound keeps cutting in and out.

[@jcap8391]

@@StreamGearTalk I mean the mic doesn't sound that bad it's just not good for a 180$ headset

[@StreamGearTalk]

I’m guessing the video doesn’t do a great job of representing the popping it creates. There’s a very subtle crack and pop that happens when I use the mic. I did a follow up video to my review to explain in a little more detail.

[@ForKurt20]

Thanks for the honest test bro! And keep rocking on the free world. What would you recommand instead, would be interesting.. ;)

[@Dzus1k]

How is the gaming with Bluetooth only? I know there is a pro version of the headset which allows wireless connection but I wonder how is the gaming only using bluetooth 5.2 .

[@StreamGearTalk]

I’ve used this for gaming via Bluetooth on my switch(BotW)and gaming laptop(Witcher 3). I didn’t notice any lag. Sounded great.

[@James-ys8cv]

What the best wireless headset for my Xbox one x system should I get

[@StreamGearTalk]

What’s your budget?

[@SETHSHORE7384]

$200

[@GentlemanGaming1122]

Nice setup Frank! 👍🙌 I know we all have our own setup but I like all the black desk and everything and the purple lights to. I'm looking forward to getting the Series S along with a new TV, I'm more of a PS guy but it will be nice being on the other side of the fence.

[@StreamGearTalk]

Thanks man! Maybe I need to do a set up tour lol once it’s 100% done lol

[@sithu8350]

Thanks .let us know

[@MosQitoNL]

My issues with this, imo, too expensive headset. • When battery dead, no way it’s going to turn on or give any sign of life. Unless you have charged it for unknown amount of time. • There is only windows support for gaming suite, while MacOS or IOS is ‘forgotten’ for this model. • mic quality is terrible, but that’s the concern of people listening to me. Haha

[@fetterfuerst23tornado46]

Wo ist das Problem das Headset hält 20 bis 30 Stunden danach muss man es für eine Stunde aufladen na und ihr ladet eure Handys doch jeden Tag auf da klappt es doch auch 🥰

[@DeepStone-6]

Wow so when the internal battery eventually fails you can't continue to use it in wired mode, that's a BIG L!!!

[@unclet4853]

Is there a 3rd party company that makes replacement mics? Cuz you’re right that mic is trash.

[@StreamGearTalk]

Vmoda!

[@bingus7361]

Almost picked these up on Black Friday, glad I didn’t. Shame I can’t find a good sennheriser wireless headset that doesn’t have some weird shit with the microphone

[@StarfishPatrick231]

You do have to realise that a small bluetooth microphone will NEVER be the same quality as wired. That's simply not physically possible.

[@cunninghamb505]

well i dont have any of those issues. Mine works great and s sounds great on mic

[@NIVO95]

Wish i saw this before buying these cans, the functionality is extremely annoying having to turn it off and on with every use. Also, upon charging and not in use, it will automatically turn on and connect which is also annoying as it will literally always be on. As i cant return them as headsets have a no return policy unless the box is unopened, im hoping to buy a new pair after i save up and throw this trash in the bin. Don't waste your money on these.

[@Dscribe90]

Wow this video changed my whole opinion on the headset and now I'm not going to purchase it. Thank you for this video

[@anonymous-xy8wc]

It’s definitely idiotic and annoying that you need to have it turned on even with a cable, doesn’t make sense. I will say though, if you only have say 10-20% battery left and use with cable it takes ages for the battery to go flat, so guess it’s still beneficial using the cable when battery is low…

[@StreamGearTalk]

So i got the arctis nova 7 wireless headset and it’s miles better than this

[@oXoChEzZaoXo]

would you say the audio quality is as good as the H3Pro hybrid, other than the issues you mentioned here is the headset worth getting if i can pick it up for £100 ? (50%) off@@StreamGearTalk my current headset is the senheisser game zero wired and want a similar quality headset in wireless, i will be using mine purely on wireless via the dongle and will charge it daily so the fact it requires power to use isnt a problem for me and i have a desk mic too so that is not a problem for me.

[@eunnah5885]

Major issues for me When connected to PC via Blueooth, you have to set your sound output as Handsfree AG to use the microphone. The sound output is so awful and looks like it's coming from an old radio unit. You can select Stereo as your output which sounds good but you can't use the microphone when doing so. Popping sound is pronounced especially when dual connected. H3 Hybrid is connected via USB-C and Bluetooth on my mobile phone. Popping sound is definitely there when a sound is coming from my mobile phone. Really regret buying this.

[@drewmorg.]

Is this due to sound gate/noise suppression set too high perhaps? It seems to happen every time he opens up a sentence.

[@LeGabrielMan]

the audio is so fucking terrible how the fuck can i fix it

[@Killuasama07]

Those are deal breakers

[@qstorm76]

Thanks

[@VR6NAVYVW]

If you cant hear popping and crackling then you shouldn't do audio reviews.
