Correction: it says "more than 80% battery left" when full charged. She has an accent :)
You should review the beyerdynamic mmx 300 for Xbox series X, ps5 and pc. It’s crazy!
I don't get the Bluetooth on PS5 problem either, does that mean they're now perfect and you recommend them?
can you test the headset after the firmware update to see if the connectivity issues have been resolved?
it does the same with my GSP670 but it shows 100% on the gaming suite
Well, my Samsung S22+ has the option to limit recharging to 85% to preserve cell usage, which means that the system can rotate which battery cells get charged, leaving the most used 15% to skip some charging cycles, in order to limit cell degradation, and improving product longevity. So this sounds like a really useful feature actually.
Yo techne! Hoping you do a comparison video of H3Pro Hybrid and H6Pro. Thank you for great contents! Been a fan for so long. Keep it up!
seems like a really good pair, might check them out
Love the reviews! But what do you think is the best wireless to date? Only sound matters.
How does this compare to the TB Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max? I sent my Epos back as they weren't comfortable to me, I didn't like the ANC implementation (hated the Sidetone quality with ANC off!) nor did the sound really hit the spot (compared to the Penrose I also use). I need a more comfy set than the Penrose for daytime work use as well as gaming.
hi boss thanks for all you reviews nice and honest 👍🏾. question this headphones vs nova pro wireless Which one is better please 🙏🏾 sound
This guy gave a perfect review evertime.
ive gone thru nearly every brand headset between $80 to $150 and got these beand new 2nd hand. Did some research and their was mixed answers online, so i took stab and got them anyway. Im super happy with the build, comfort. And the sound in 7.1 gaming or 2 channel music, they exceeded , my expectations. super happy with them
Does it help you pinpointing foot sound in fps games like rainbow six siege? I wonder what headset is the best for directional imaging sound in rainbow six siege
Hey Techne, think you'll start reviewing IEM earbuds/headphones? Recently bought the KZ ZS10 Pro and was blown away by them. and they were only $50
My wife bought me the closed back version for Christmas after she watch your video. I love it!
How is it so far
What's your experience so far?
@@Eleriam I like them
I don’t have any of the problems you mentioned with my new h3pro. Simultaneous audio on iPhone & ps5 works flawlessly, as does the reach of the usb dongle (no disconnects even at over 10m with walls inbetween)
I can confirm that as well. An awesome headset for fps gaming and music.
How is it so far
@@dampy2006 Sold it to a friend a got an Arctis Nova Pro wireless
Hey Techne, great review, please test the h6pro closed back, im really curious bout that headset
kzhead.info/sun/qsOliNiRaJmraGw/bejne.html
This one’s or the Virtuoso XT ? got my Corsair but don’t know if I should keep the because I like the quality and how easy I can use them between devices or returned them for a much louder headset ?
Hi Techne, thank you for all the reviews. Would you recommend this or the Corsair Virtuoso XT?
This is better
Why you never reviewed the MMX 300? IMO it’s the best gaming headset Same as the Tygr 300R amazing headphones for gaming. And both freaking cosy
Thanks for another awesome video. On a side note that has nothing to do with this video, For the last month I've been using my space bar flipped like you do and i don't think i can ever go back to the normal way. I even got my wife doing it now too. Small thing, but game changing. Thanks bro.
yo it's so cozy right?
Would you pick these or the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for a desktop setup?
I’ve got the same headset, and the battery announcement says “OVER 80% battery remaining.” It will say that when it’s 80-100% charged. Don’t worry that it’s not fully charged.
Omg thank you for this information!
I don't play competitive shooters. I mainly play strategy games, or hang with friends with games like Valhiem. I also watch movies on my PC and listen to music so bluetooth would be great but not a must. Can you recommend a wireless headset that isn't a billion dollars, sounds good and comfortable for 10+ hours of use. (even if its a link you another of your videos)
the 80% thingie sounds like overcharge protection... my old laptop used to do that, but you can disable it!
I have the wired version and they’re AMAZING! For the comfort, sound, versatility and ability to connect Bluetooth and use it simultaneously while gaming, they’re isn’t another pair that beats them at the price. But I will say, the price for the wireless version is outrageous.
Those are not active noise cancelling like the wireless
so u mean u have the h6 pro ?
@@ecosti No, there's two wired versions of the H3
@@max10hoop is h3 better than h6 ? Ibfeel h6 is better right ?
Hey Techne I play call of duty mobile daily on my ipad. After watching your review on the audeze penrose I purchased a set and they have been fantastic although the fact the EQ isn't supported on ios was a bit of a let down. Now I'm in the market for a new set of headphones because unfortunately the support bracket for the ear cup broke. Do you have any suggestions for what I should purchase next keeping in mind they will be used 100% bluetooth for gaming on my ipad. Thanks mate and keep up the good work love your content 👍
HS70 bluetooth if your on a budget would be my recommendation if money is not a problem then I have a few more
corsair HS70 is bluetooth?
I went with the steelseries 7+ and a set of red camo cool gel wicked cushions and I have to say they are next to none.
@@timothykrohss2430 so do you get any lag on bluetooth on the pc?
@@timothykrohss2430 hey i have question about h3 pro hybrid. Were you ever using mixing bluetooth and 2.4 connection? How it works with ios devices?
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
Also what do you think about the rumors of the new elite controller
Can you review the gaming earbuds? Specially wired ones, like Final VR3000, Drown Game changing earphones? Would be great if u can
Could you please make a review of the B&O Beoplay Portal (PC/PS version) ? Thx
You can play video games and music and take phone calls at the same time but the headset was intended to take audio from 1 source at a time that is why you hear a crackling sound
Well you’ve got me curious! Hey, when you go wired on ps5, do you get a bad echo? I can’t seem to figure it out. Maybe looking into the 600 gen 2 max ti replace my Arctis 1 wireless.. that I got because of your video! How’s that for taking you back 😂
No I don't get an echo at all
Dang, how do you set them up so you don’t?
Every single time I'm headed down the rabbit whole of searching for new gear to spend my money on, I always end up on your channel.
the microphone crackling issue that found in H6 hybrid have been fixed in H6pro hybrid ?
Hi! Does the mic here work on bluetooth with windows? As far as I know bluetooth mics+headphones dont work in windows.
They fit you so well 😁
Hi, which is better between the astro a40 + mixamp and arctis pro + gamedac? and between fnatic react and hyperx cloud alpha?
both are great, arctis for competitive fps mainly, astro for story/immersion
weird comparison, but can you compare the h6pro closed with the coolermaster mh751?
Since the headset is powered up even in 3.5 aux mode...does bluetooth work while using aux?
Have you seen the new turtle beach headsets
It probably stops charging at 80% to not damage the battery, especially if its plugged in all night that would do some pretty decent damage to the batterys life time. Keeping batteries between 20% and 80% will ensure the battery lasts for the longest possible time. Going up to 100% and still being plugged in will damage any battery
Even if it does that, it should report 80% as "100%" which is what some phones do. It just makes sense from a consumer perspective.
Agreed with Crimson
the headset was saying above 80% , techne did a mistake :)
@@CrimsonBlazzWell, my Samsung S22+ has the option to limit recharging to 85% to preserve cell usage, which means that the system can rotate which battery cells get charged, leaving the most used 15% to skip some charging cycles, in order to limit cell degradation, and improving product longevity. So no, it shouldn't say "100%" when it's not using all 100% of the battery IMHO.
Having to still turn the headset on and making sure it has a charge even while using it while wired kind of eliminates the purpose of having a wired option in my mind. On my Virtuoso XTs, I love being able to just plug them in when the battery is low and not have to worry about them dying. Really disagree with Epos's decision there
I'm curious, are you saying the headset can't be used while plugged in to charge? I'm looking to see if this is a thing with Epos H3Pro Hybrid. I know some headsets can't be used while charging so I'm hoping you can shed some light on that!
How much battery life are you still getting on your XTs?
@@lastdonuts i ended up returning them and getting the arctis Nova pro wireless instead. But the battery life was pretty bad. I had to charge them like 2-4 times a week
@@camtoczynski1891 Dang, I was hoping that part was overblown. I'm looking at Nova Pro reviews as well but the mic tests sound horrible to me which is a dealbreaker. I haven't come across any reviews that didn't sound like a walkie talkie yet
@@lastdonuts if mic quality is a big thing for you, go the Corsair without hesitation. Corsair headsets have the best mics in the game. But for my needs and wants, the Steelseries was an upgrade in pretty much every other way
when is H6 pto hybrid coming out?
hi, can you review JBL quantum one ? You are my trusted reviewer
@the techne: wait, you were able to use the wireless dongle and BT at the same time? (PC & Phone) This was the sole reason i fully hated this Headset - since the marketing was so heavily missleading. Their support told me, it is impossible to connect the Wireless dongle on a pc and use the BT connection at the same time (and i tested it). In my testing it was only possible to use BT, when you are connected through USB or 3.5 For the asking price that is unacceptable. I was specificially looking for the feature to connect two devices at once - Wireless & BT. However, the Virtuoso XT is a no go due to comfort and the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless was too expensive at the time.
Plus the Arctis would eventually get broken hinges in a year.
Their website specifically says that's the case, *unless* your phone is iOS. Is your phone iOS?
Are the better than the Audeze Penrose?
"and i doesnt weigh anything" loll
Hello sir ,my english is not good , I have a question . Epos h6 pro and epos h3pro hybrid which one sound good ? Thank you
GREAT VIDEO, could you redirect us to a headset similar to these in the Bluetooth functionalities that’s better in your opinion?
Corsair Virtuoso XT
I tried the Corsair HS70 before and they were literally the most uncomfortable pair of headphones I’ve ever worn. I really wanted to try Virtuoso’s, but after that experience with Corsair, it made me hesitant, lol.
@@lomawny dude me too , literally the most uncomfortable headset ever haven’t touched Corsair since
I have been using the Arctis 7P with wicked cushions since they were first recommended for the PS5 they are starting to have some wear and tear. The left ear audio cuts out from time to time. Any better headsets for PS5 under $200 Sidetone and Bluetooth preferred?
Corsair virtuoso XT.
It would've been perfect if it had a dock, so you could use it wirelessly on the goxlr
Lithium batteries live longer in the 20-80% charge range. 80% is the industry standard for shelf life. That’s actually a nice feature.
Can this work on Mac computers or just PCs?
how does this compare to the penrose?
LETS GO!! Still use our Audeze Penrose and save money!
On the Xbox series x it has Bluetooth would that headset Bluetooth work
Would you say that it has a plethora?
Please next is steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless
Is it ok if I still get a free glorious model d even thought I forgot about the giveaway after I commented for months
I gotta be honest, since the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless I just can’t see myself using any other wireless headphones. Not have to ever worry about the headset dying on a wireless headset is great. I know battery life on headsets nowadays ain’t a issue for a 10-12 hour gaming session (which I can’t remember the last time I even played for 5 hours straight…) but even just not having to ever plug them in to charge but having a second battery at all times ready to go had ruined headsets for me. I wanna see more headsets/mice with a dual battery system with a charging dock/amp/base system that sits on your desk.
Build quality is kinda important
im using arctic pro with hyperx quadcast for gaming and voice chat. Being able to swap battery is the best feature ngl.
Agree on the Arctis Pro Wireless, easy battery switch, multipoint connection and very capable microphone both on 2.4ghz and BT which is perfect use for work/zoom/phon calls From the mic test, the BT sound quality is just average, don't think this can replace my old AWP.
The Nova Pro Wireless ANC nub is the one thing that turned me away from that headset, right now I’m just going to use my BlackShark V2 Pro and maybe pick up the Epos to try it out
What are the differences between this and the H6Pro?
Drivers and analog only on H6 pro + an open back option.
Techne this headset or audeze penrose which is better. I have the penrose but this look nice
penrose
hey techne.. this epos or my arctis pro wireless?? 😁
pro wireless
@@TheTechne 😁
I find the h3 more comfortable than my Sen Game ONE
I got the same headphones for my ps5 but no one can hear me I looked up heaps of videos but none of them worked can someone tell me how I get get people to hear me
just bought this headset today but the dongle is not working pls help
Sorry the mic and also the Full pleather headband on the h6 pro is much better. I really Look for a Wireless h6 pro
Really 40 mm driver? 50 mm couldnt fit into the earcup?
Compared to the Astro a50 (only one I’ve used) do I buy new a50’s or get these?
do you need wireless?
@@TheTechne I don’t need it. But it’s nice to have for sure, now that I’ve been spoiled by wireless it would be hard to go back.
The Techne
Connect to ps5 It’s 7.1 or stereo ?
I just got a Penrose set with new cushions...i hope I didn't make a woopsie
Look the ps5 thing could just be a software problem or a driver problem but it can be resolved with a wire so I would still say that these headphones are perfect
Im having the same connection issues, i get the wierd crackling noises aswell when its connected by usb to my pc and bluetooth to my phone. I have sent a ticket to epos and hope they can somehow provide a fix to this, but i have my doubts, really did not expect this from epos/sennheiser that usually have really good audio devices.
Any reactions yet?
Nope, just a trash headset, dont buy
The earcup ID is too small for my ears.
hi techne im a laptop user and I got arctis 3 because of your review. its so cozy. its clamping force is a bit high right now, does the arctis 3 lose their clamping force overtime?
no, but I would say cushions might have lost some plushness. slap on some wicked cushions and you will be prime time
@@TheTechne Why does some reviewers say cloud ii is more comfortable than arctis headsets even though worst ear cushions and higher clamping force?
Plugging stuff in overnight all the time and leaving it plugged it ruins your battery. Shortens the life pretty drastically usually I thought
that's not what Elon musk said, lol
We really need a STINKIN COZY gaming headset that doesnt cost an incredible amount. ranking headsets by COMFORT. we need stinkin cozy headsets
what is the best gaming headset under 100$ ?
Razer blackshark v2
The microphone on that is underwhelming unfortunately - for the price it should be better.
If you have to buy a wireless headset (not including the blackshark) what are u buying? Money is not a problem
Audeze Penrose with some wicked cushions
It's bad to leave a battery charging at full capacity over night, it probably won't be at 100% unless you remove them immediately at full charge or plug them back in at 80% depending on how they have them set up. I can't imagine it being impossible to charge them to 100%, but it seems they've accounted for MOST people leaving them on the charger overnight.
I have this headset and it says battery ABOVE 80%
epos are the goat
premiummm
If people buy them they shouldn’t pay the full price of $279.99 because they regularly go on sale for as little as $100 to $120. I paid $112.99 + tax and shipping and everything they came to $120 total. I just ordered them today and should get them Saturday. I will update my comment depending on how they sound when I receive them
This or cloud alpha?
this
Mic is bad no matter what option used. My goodness
the mic sounds washed

I think you lack mobile amplifiers and in-channel headphones, which are very popular now... Glory to Ukraine
Idk if you guys check older products and reviews, but this is now 140$ on Amazon / 119 EUR on Amazon DE. @The Techne what do you think about that price my man?
not good reviews on Amazon. hyperx pounds the competition on better reviews especially for the money an durability
