Introduction:
If you are tired of seeing those complicated and fancy gaming headsets on the market, then you must pay attention to the headset I am going to introduce today. EPOS H3 Hybrid has no fancy gimmicks and provides solid performance that a pair of headphones should have, such as wearing comfort, multi-mode use, stable connection, easy operation, 7.1 surround sound, etc.
Unboxing and accessories:
The EPOS H3 Hybrid I bought this time is a black version, and the EPOS H3 Hybrid also has a white version. You can see that the box is quite substantial, and the outer box design is also quite simple. It mainly highlights the appearance of the headset, and the back of the package is an introduction to its parameters, features, etc.
After opening the box, the EPOS H3 Hybrid headphones were quietly waiting for me to turn them on. All items in the box, including headphones and accessories, are securely placed to ensure that the headphones and accessories can be effectively protected from wear and tear during transportation. Very attentive! In terms of accessories, EPOS provides 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter cable, USB-A extension cable, USB A to C data/charging cable, 2.4GHz receiver, magnetic cover, instruction guide, warranty card and other items.
Appearance and design:
EPOS H3 Hybrid adopts an all-black appearance design. Both the left and right earphones adopt an oval shape design, and the texture is very good. The earphone part is made of ABS plastic, and the connecting frame part is made of metal. The surface of the earphone is matte and frosted, and the overall appearance is very good. There are no complicated and fancy gimmicks, only real performance.
As for the headband, EPOS H3 Hybrid is equipped with a retractable hinged headband design, and the length of both sides can be adjusted according to your own head shape. The internal bracket of the telescopic headband is made of metal parts, which also takes into account elasticity and durability during use.
The earmuffs adopt an oval design and are paired with memory foam earmuffs, which not only can completely cover the ears, but also have a very smooth and breathable surface. In addition, the earmuffs have a certain thickness, which can provide a very comfortable wearing experience and a stable covering feeling, and there will be no ear pinching when used for a long time.
In addition, although the EPOS H3 Hybrid is not an active noise reduction model, the physical sound isolation effect of its earmuffs is also very good. After wearing the headphones, it is almost impossible to hear external sounds, allowing us to focus more on the game.
Another advantage of the headset is that it can accommodate a larger unit diameter, just like the EPOS H3 Hybrid headset experienced today, which is equipped with a 40mm driver sound unit. Headphone players should all know that the larger the unit size, the more air it can drive, resulting in better sound dynamics, rich details, and a majestic sound field. At the same time, it also provides frequency response of 20Hz~20kHz, impedance of 25Ω, and sensitivity of 115dB, which can separate the low frequency, medium frequency and high frequency in the unit, and can enhance the separation and clarity of the three frequencies, providing excellent sound performance.
The key operation area is concentrated on the left ear cup. Its overall function keys are arranged in an orderly manner, making blind operation convenient and smooth. Of course, in addition to conventional physical button operations, it can also be customized by using the EPOS Gaming Suite software to achieve channel switching and equalizer adjustment.
EPOS H3 Hybrid headset On the right side is the Bluetooth pairing button and volume knob. In fact, Bluetooth headsets have been around for a long time. As early as the feature phone era, there were actually Bluetooth headsets . However, due to technical limitations, they were not easy to use and not user-friendly enough. In the past, the Bluetooth wireless not only had high power consumption, short battery life, and high price, which made the majority of gamers shy away from such headsets. But technology is always improving. Now EPOS H3 Hybrid not only has Bluetooth 5.2 with lower latency, but also has lower Bluetooth power consumption and increased battery life to 37 hours. It can be said that it has solved many pain points of Bluetooth connections in the past. In addition, EPOS H3 Hybrid headphones can also be transformed into wired headphones through the 3.5mm cable provided as accessories.
In terms of microphones, the EPOS H3 Hybrid headset has a dual-microphone design, which is an internal microphone and an external magnetic microphone. First of all, the external microphone adopts a detachable design. When you need to use the microphone, you need to install the microphone and it can be used. In terms of parameters, it is a bidirectional directional microphone with a frequency response range of 100Hz~7500Hz and a sensitivity of -20db FS/PA @1kHz. The bidirectional directional microphone can pick up sounds from both sides evenly and effectively suppress background noise from the sides, providing the clearest voice chat and communication performance.
User experience:
The most important thing is in the gaming experience. EPOS H3 Hybrid can help us get rid of the shackles of wires through Bluetooth mode. The FPS game I tested this time is the popular " PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds " in recent years. It has accurate positioning of the sound of bullets in the game and the sound of footsteps when characters move. It also has 7.1 surround sound effects.
In addition, the detachable microphone can also easily communicate with teammates without lagging. Of course, it also has excellent sound collection effects. Human voices half a hand away are almost not picked up, and there is no obvious spatial noise.
In addition, I also tested the game "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" that I usually play. The spatial positioning of the headphones is fascinating, the low-frequency volume is quite abundant, and the majestic background sound effects of the game can be heard, making people immersed in the world of the game.
Of course, in addition to excellent gaming performance, the EPOS H3 Hybrid headphones also perform well when used for listening to music or watching movies. Its sound trend is relatively popular, with abundant bass performance and good high-quality performance. It is a high level for general music listening, suitable for pop music or movies, and can feel enough momentum.
Summary:
Overall, EPOS H3 Hybrid headphones are a pair of headphones suitable for multiple scenarios. The three connection methods of USB wired, wireless Bluetooth, and 3.5mm audio cable make it more flexible in use. Coupled with its extremely stable connection and ultra-clear voice calls, it has an outstanding gaming experience. It also has a comfortable and immersive listening experience when watching movies and listening to music. If you need a headset with both appearance and sound effects, then this EPOS H3 Hybrid will be a good choice.
