Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Sound quality and comfort win over most users. Multiple commenters call the sound 'amazing' and better than Logitech, Corsair, and even some Sennheiser models, crediting EPOS's audio heritage. The earcup material and light weight let people wear it for hours comfortably. Several long-term owners rank it among their top headsets, and one even bought a second pair after using it for months, showing lasting satisfaction with comfort and audio detail.

The microphone is a recurring weak point. Many commenters describe the mic as having a popping or crackling sound, calling it 'trash' or worse than the standard H3 or older Sennheiser GSP models. Some ask if EPOS fixed the issue in later revisions or via software update, while others report zero mic problems at all, suggesting inconsistent unit quality or firmware behavior across individual headsets.

Battery, charging, and connectivity quirks frustrate several buyers. Users report headsets refusing to charge, failing to turn on after purchase, or automatically powering on while charging. Others note it must stay powered on even when wired, and that Bluetooth uses the SBC codec without a USB dongle for full wireless PC use, limiting true wireless gaming performance and creating confusion about which mode delivers best audio.
