EPOS H3PRO Hybrid Headset Review - That Sound!

[@Drewsterman777]

Your reviews are always really good. The only thing I would ask you to add is length, width and depth of the earcups. I know that if an earcup is 1 inch in depth then my ears will touch the driver wall and that is incredibly uncomfortable for me. So having that information would be very helpful in a buying decision. Otherwise, your reviews are the best and very detailed, especially the audio quality of the drivers and microphone.

[@Meadowns]

Maaaate, thank you for doing the exact section on Microphone settings i've been looking for. Reviews are solid on this headset everywhere, but everyone says how average the mic is, really wanted someone to convince me the software could make it good enough to justify ordering a set. Thanks from New Zealand.

[@dbzxx]

I just got this headset for christmas and its sounding amazing with your EQ settings! Also, I noticed that the simultaneous Bluetooth is working. I was playing music on my phone while watching your videos on PC and audio for both was working without any "crackling". Just wanted to point that out in case anyone is wondering. My guess is that they must have updated the software/firmware for this headset.

[@radosawroszewski2692]

are you using ios or android device?

[@dbzxx]

@@radosawroszewski2692 android. I have since returned the device. Tried upgrading the firmware per the app and it would not let me. I am now using the Audeze maxwell instead.

[@infernaltim]

I just grabbed a pair of the H6Pros and am blown away with the sound. The TB Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max's I got for multiplat gaming have been having problems with inconsistent volume and connecting properly, so I decided to just go back to a good wired headset. Man.... Epos NAILED the sound on their headsets and the positional audio and clarity are ridiculous. I couldn't be happier and I think I'm just going to stick with them over a wireless set. This is my first Epos headset and I'm extremely impressed. Plus the green and gold I got are slick. 🙂

[@madsan_yt]

I've been loving the H6Pro since day one ! I have the Open-back version and it's just too good ! Good choice on the color, it looks really nice :p

[@briancokley249]

I been using the arctis 9x pro on my xsx and Sony pulse on the ps5 then I got the TB stealth 700 gen 2 Max and I feel like they just don’t get as loud as I want them. The pulse 3d were cracking loud but uncomfortable…. I want to try these but my pockets are hurting now lol. So I ordered Cooling gel ear cups for my pulse 3d…

[@infernaltim]

@@briancokley249 On the 700 Max's, go to your custom eq when you get them connected, then move one of the sliders just slightly. The volume all of a sudden comes alive. I've been going back and forth with their support to give them as much info as I could so they can fix it, but they went radio silent for the last week or so. Here's hoping a firmware update fixes it. The H6 Pros still beat them in sound quality though. They're better than I expected.

[@sir_chimpanzi]

Very good and detailed review! I don't feel that your reviews are too long and there is no need to apologize. The length is justified by the amount of relevant information you provide within them. Too bad there is no wireless support for Xbox in this headset. By the way, does the H6PRO sound better than the H3PRO in wired mode (out-of-the-box)? I have considered purchasing H6PRO, but since it seems that a lot of companies are releasing new headsets at the moment, I haven't bitten the bullet yet. 😄

[@GadgetryTech]

Thanks Anssi! In wired mode vs wired mode, the H6PRO closed back sounds better than the H3PRO Hybrid. They are both excellent however, and I was shocked how good the H3 sounded considering. I can't imaging anyone disliking the sound of either model, as they get so much of it right.

[@Zystus]

I still have my Sennheiser PC 363D gaming headset after 7 years... It has to be one of THE BEST headsets I've ever owned, nothing in the market today even compares to such a God Tier headset.

[@cobaltross9059]

Man, I can't thank you enough for this review. I never tried an Epos headset (was a little hesitant to after their recent announcements) and I was looking for something light after my Audeze Maxwell experience. This thing feels great and has crisp audio right out of the box. Ended up setting it to the Music EQ in the software and I'm totally happy with it.

[@vincenzovieri3743]

great video. i watched through wat i was most interested in and will definitely finish your video. i just placed an order for these headsets. i'm coming off astro's for years. wired and wireless. astro is very cheap very poor build quality. however sound was good with an awful mic. now, this purchase was gonna be my second expensive brand since i've always used astro. i was contemplating on getting the steelseries nova pro, wired version. now i didn't want to spend another $300 even though my total on these EPOS did. i just wanted something with really good base but a good mic at the minimum. after watching a few videos, i realized the mic is terrible on the steelseries, plus the base from several people have stated it's very lacking and that's worrying at $250 or even the $350 wireless version. i also was intrigued by the dac for better sound and yes that cool digital screen almost had me. but i've only heard great things on this headset. I was gonna keep these till i get audizure headsets, but again those have been said to have an amazing sound but i've seen many photos from dozens of customers showing how easily damaged and cheap the build quality. I just might hold on to these for a long time if they're as good as i've heard. none the less thnx for the video and like others said, we can always skip if video is long. i did and will go back. good review. (ps5 headset)

[@wutexas5177]

Really appreciate that you made detailed review both on h3 hybrid and nova pro wireless, but I’m still struggling which should become my only headphones for traveling and extended time of pc gaming. My head is big and there were 2 of my old headphones broken caused by that. I agree there is no perfect headphones in the world, but 200-400 bucks are quite a decision.

[@ChristopherMcConnell]

You are absolutely incredible! Because of this, I will be purchasing this headset and giving it a shot. Coming from a Virtuoso XT and no longer being able to get connection from the most recent ICUE updates and honestly....a bit of a subpar sound...these sound just right for me. Plus, I have nearly always used Sennheiser mics when performing so I know I'll be at home so to speak. Thanks again for this!

[@xxENDSxTHExROUND]

Did you purchase? I'm currently using the virtuoso, i dont have connections issues but issues with the headset itself. I replaced the cups with thicker and bigger ones because the original ones were very uncomfortable around the ears. After replacing the cups I now have an issue with the headband pressing down too hard on the top of my head and it becomes unbearable to wear after 30 minutes of use.

[@ChristopherMcConnell]

@@xxENDSxTHExROUND I did and then I returned them after using them for about 10 days. The signal would cut out frequently and the headband hurt my head much quicker than the other headset I was demoing them against. The other headset is the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro (2023 edition) and I LOVE them. Small sacrifice in sound to be sure, but MUCH more comfortable and no issues of signal cutting out thus far and I've used them on everything from Netflix to Fortnite and to listening back on to music I mixed. HIGHLY recommend them. Sadly with these EPOS H3PRO Hybrids...I think they were just released too soon and not tested for bugs/issues thoroughly enough. Unfortunately, Reddit will constantly back up this sentiment. I would recommend, at the end of the day, you stay away from these.

[@Teetumus]

@@ChristopherMcConnell Did you encounter a loud white noise while not playing audio on the Razer blackshark v2 pro's

[@RayTheFPSGamer]

I've got my Sennheiser PC373D since december 2017 and it's in need of replacement right now. Every now and then at random moments something glitches with the USB dongle and it makes all sounds super distorted and robotic, impossible to hear things properly. I never used the mic since I've got a boom arm and a Blue Yeti so I'm not in need of a gaming headset with mic. Now this EPOS H3PRO seems interesting! I love that you can remove the microphone, don't need that. I love that it has 7.1 surround. I know, some people swear by stereo but honestly stereo on the headsets I've had just sounds like crap in the games I play. With 7.1 on my PC373D I can easily solo Q my way to Diamond rank in Siege on PC, I can hear exact directions of sounds in all the games and it helps create a wide soundscape. So the fact that the H3PRO has 7.1 too is another plus in my books. It's lighter than my PC373D even though it has batteries in it for the wireless part, interesting! I just hope that the surround sound and sound quality in general is just as good, if not better, than my PC373D. It's hard to find a review of a headset/headphone that can clearly compare audio positioning and quality in competitive FPS shooters.. Mostly I see YTers just fire up a racing game and say "yeah it sounds amazing". Anyway, I think I'm going to buy this headset.

[@nihilisticpoet]

"I'm not going to sit here and name drop the top 5 wireless gaming headsets out there..." Be a lot cooler if you did. But seriously though, never apologize for long reviews. If it's too long we can skip around. Rather have too much information than not enough. I feel like the next step with these wireless headsets is a decent wireless/bluetooth audio mixer. It's cool that it can connect both at the same time and switch over to an incoming phone call, but being able to adjust the volume of each independently would be awesome.

[@RussianPenguin]

There is a way to stop the headset going into sleep mode on Windows. If you go into Control panel > Hardware and sound > Sound > Recording > Then select the headphones microphone > Listen and tick "Listen to this device". It will stop the headset from going to sleep, however it will play back your own voice when using the mic and it uses 1-5% of your CPU. JBL quantum headsets have the same issue and this works for them, so I assume it will work for this headset.

[@sarcasticsaint8442]

I think a lot of people get hung up on "THE BEST SOUND!". I got came across a pair of cheap Audeze Penrose on sale last year and while the sound is very very good even when tweaking they felt a bit intense. Just picked up a pair of these Epos, the ease of use, the fact you can just put the mic up to get it out of the way when drinking or solo gaming (compared to the audeze one which is in the way unless you fully remove it) I prefer the Epos. The sound profile just fits my ears better for longer sessions. Obviously just a subjective feeling, but the EPOS H3 just feel more comfortable both in wearing and listening over a longer session, while still sounding amazing, so they get my vote.

[@5678-d9v]

I wanted a 2.4G wireless headset with sound quality and noise cancellation experience that was close to that of the WH-1000XM5. Unfortunately the WH-1000XM5 is a Bluetooth headset and the sound latency of playing games using Bluetooth is so high that I can't stand it at all. Should I go with the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, or the EPOS H3PRO Hybrid? 🥲😫

[@philippdolomit4830]

As a user of the 670 I can say that the ear cushions are pourly made. They used to be stitched, but today they are glued. If you use them also on the couch and lie on them, the ear cushion will get damaged pretty fast.

Okay I love Epos/Sennheiser headsets and just recently picked up a PS5. I'm searching for a wireless headset to use with it. Using the HS80 currently but not really satisfied with them on console so I'm looking for a replacement. Are these simply plug and play on the PS5? If they have great out of the box sound then I honestly don't care about price.

[@GadgetryTech]

They are just plug and play indeed! Check on Windows via the EPOS Gaming Suite software before you start playing on PS5 though in case it needs a firmware update. Once you've done that you'll be good to go. Another amazing sounding headset that requires no EQ and works well on PS5 is the Master & Dynamic MG20 headset. I'm honestly surprised my review didn't get more hits for those, because I think they flew under the radar for many. It's comfortable and the sound is awesome.

I can wear this headset for 12 hours NO PROBLEM. The sound is amazing (for me, maybe not for audiophiles?). The active noise cancellation could be better, but together with the passive noisecancellation it does its job very very well. The dual connection is wonky, but I don't really use it.

Hi Jason. The H6PRO has a slightly better soundstage and more power handling, but they are more dependent on your EQ of course, and what it's connected to.

I like my H6PROs so much it's hard to pick the H3PRO over them unless I just need wireless support. For PC only use, I think the H3PRO is great because the tuning software is awesome.

@@funbro99 I returned it. Unusable. Great sound quality, some of the best bass I've ever heard in a headset let alone a gaming one, I wish it did go about 10% louder but I could live with it. The mic was subpar, about a 5/10. The features for bluetooth + wireless connectivity were awful. Constantly dropped one or the other, with weird clicking noises happening when swapping between the two. Overall it was extremely buggy software and I updated everything including firmware on the device. It was like EPOS gave up on supporting the product. I do not recommend this device at all. Go with Arctis nova pro if you want the real deal. As long as that headset fits comfortably you will be very happy.

@@drewmorg. I agree with and recognise your complaints. I returned my H3 Pro Hybrid and it was refunded rather than repaired.

5:50 Well, then that's false advertisement. The whole reason I'm looking at this headset is because their website specifically states you can listen to your PC and phone mixed together. Now, the first clause does say 'wired', however, the second makes it sound like it also works with the wireless dongle and bluetooth at the same time, *unless* you have iOS. " *iOS* devices will not mix " makes it sound like Android devices *will* . If that's not the case, that's highly misleading... "You can pair your headset with your smart phone for on-the-go use, or while you game at home to stay connected to the outside world. You can take a call or chat with your friends on a 3rd party app on your phone while gaming via the wired connections. With separate volume control over each stream, your conversation will be mixed in with the game audio. ​ ​When you use the low-latency dongle to game, you can also pair up with your phone and have dual connections. iOS devices will not mix in calls with the dongle connection. Instead, the headset will route audio to your mobile device, and route it back again to game audio when call ends. ​"

Hey, is there a way to find out if the custom EQ settings and specifically the noise gate/noise cancellation would transfer to PS5?

[@kongkim]

The audio delay you talk about, is it also there if you use the wire?

[@emeresbestres1]

When you increase the volume on console, do you have a tone indicator you've reached max? GSP 370 did not have that. I'm not sure if you've had a chance to test it on anything else than PC. Awesome review bud...as always.

[@GadgetryTech]

In terms of pure sound quality the Penrose definitely sounds better. Overall features and the ease of adjusting controls is better on the Nova Pro though

[@britishguy]

If this is used on a PlayStation 5, are the graphic equaliser and mic settings saved to the headset, or are those features only available through Windows software? Great review, thanks 👍

[@LeFuzzyDunlop]

Did you ever find out if they do save to the headset?

[@britishguy]

@@LeFuzzyDunlop Yes, I did and no, the equaliser and mic settings *are not* saved to the headset for use when you use it on Console. I ordered a H3PRO Hybrid from Amazon and was extremely disappointed to find you only have the flat equaliser response through the headset and there's absolutely no way of changing it. I returned the headset for a full refund.

[@LeFuzzyDunlop]

@@britishguy Thanks mate. You just saved me the hassle of returning them. I had another Epos a couple of years ago with the same flaw. You would’ve thought that they would’ve sorted out with the new stuff.

[@britishguy]

@@LeFuzzyDunlop You're welcome. Glad I saved you the hassle 🙂 I currently use 'Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum Wireless Gaming Headset' (I've had them about 5 years now) and you can save the equaliser settings to them. Before that, I had a pair of 'Turtle Beach Ear Force PX5's' and you could also save the graphic equaliser settings to those, too. A pair of H3PRO Hybrid headphones at £200+ which is only capable of a bland, flat equaliser response on console is pretty damn unforgivable! They will be great for a PC gamer, but console users are evidently way down the list of priorities.

[@LeFuzzyDunlop]

@@britishguy It's quite silly. So many console users out there and not having basic features work for them is ridiculous!

Спасибо большое , было очень интересно , эти наушники сейчас продаются по 90$

[@redj]

где ?

[@Dangerman-zg3ui]

Good review. I'm on the fence of a White-themed 2.4Ghz Wireless which this headset has that colour in. The other two I am looking at are the MG20 (would you say these have comparable quality to them?) and the Beoplay Portal Playstation (see a lot of the Xbox version being reviewed but little of the Playstation version which is said to be much better) because both have white versions and considered the best of all 2.4Ghz Wireless headphone/headset.

[@GadgetryTech]

Damn that's difficult! I really enjoy all three. I think if I wanted a single headset that's also great as a headphone for travel, I'd go with the Portals (comfort and ANC is pretty great on them). For mixed use and some movie watching, the H3PRO Hybrid simply because the sub bass is just ridiculous, which is amazing for movies. The Portals simply don't have the deep bass. The MG20 to me me has good EQ if you always want it to sound lively. It's extremely comfortable and great to look at, the bass is really nice, mids are very clear, and the treble is just a bit emphasized which is good for certain things but may be too bright depending on what you listen to. I used the MG20s a lot when I worked on my review and really enjoyed them for movies, music, and all my PS5 gaming.

[@celsior03]

are those earpads replaceable?

[@michaelxv203]

does the eq software have loudness equalization? and does it work for the h6pros

[@gtaseed]

Hi! How would the Epos H3Pro Hybrid compare to the SONY INZONE H9? They have a pretty similar feature set from what I've seen

[@GadgetryTech]

Sony has a more stable wireless connection. Both are comfortable. H9 has game to chat mix on PS5, EPOS does not. Epos has a better mic and sound quality.

[@jacobfield4848]

EPOS H3PRO Hybrid vs GSP 670 which is best?

[@darren2983]

I've just bought this and looking forward to trying them. My last pair was sennheiser game zero and I found them very cheap and the cups never really made a good seal for bass. They finally bit the dust after 7 years. The hinge point kept popping screws out and I had to replace the ear cups as the leather eventually fell apart. I tried to repair them one more time but broke the wire so thought sod it it's about time I bought a new set.

[@smashwindows8722]

So how are they? Any faults or complaints?

[@darren2983]

@@smashwindows8722 the sound and bass is amazing. Like having subs in your ears. They have an excellent seal and sound isolation in combination with noise cancelling. I love being able to take a call on my phone and have sound from my pc. The build quality is excellent. Negatives are via Bluetooth they seem to suffer from interference and cut out and crackle sometimes. I was only less than 5meters away from my phone and they would start randomly cutting in and out. Other than that I'm very pleased with them.

[@MrCyberglyphics2]

How does it perform with the PS5? With the sound profiles, do they only work when connected with PC or PS5 as well?

[@crispy_toast07]

I want to know that too coz i am torn between this and the inzone h9

[@raymaondg5618]

Can you plug the head set in using USB and still have Bluetooth play at the same time...I know you said it works with aux cable

[@Bigbodipapi]

I will attest to the earpads that they are PERFECT and I have big ears. Yes you will have to adjust real quick but it does encapsulate my large ears nicely. (I also have a large head lol)

[@dampy2006]

I decided to buy these for £95 second hand to complement my Sivga Robins (sv021), waiting for it to be delivered lol.

[@DaBomb5309]

which do u prefer? the penrose or this?

[@GadgetryTech]

I would prefer the Penrose more if I could have a solid connection. I still get disconnect issues, random pops and tick sounds that often hurt my ears. I will get a headache within 5-10 minutes if the Penrose starts acting up, which is very distracting. My H3PRO Hybrid was great for work, music, and movie watching at the desk.

[@Soei23]

Just wanted to say I bought the headset after watching your review, your affiliate link was not useful to me though, probably because I got it from Amazon Netherlands. It was also at a huge discount, €149,-!!

[@Avis95]

Would this work with my 1st generation gsx 1000 ?

[@StrangeDoctor_]

can i hear myself with these ?

[@carsonswitalski9098]

I know you said you wouldn’t name drop the top 5 wireless gaming headsets, but now I’m curious. What do you think they would be?

[@GadgetryTech]

Likely going to make a video on this believe it or not. Too much to explain but... Penrose, Nova Pro, Astro A50, TB 700 Gen 2 Max, Logitech G Pro X Wireless. I think the HS80, Barracuda Pro, and H3PRO Hybrid are honorable mentions (considering value, features, etc.).

[@themaddaddy]

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