Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Sound quality sparked debate but ultimately held up well. Commenters argued at length about whether the 3.5mm analog connection introduces compression, concluding it does not since the cable carries no digital signal processing. One user said the headset doesn't really need an amp but paired it with a SoundBlaster X3 for a great PS5 setup. Another confirmed you don't need the official EPOS DAC amp to get good results, suggesting solid stock performance for most users.

Microphone problems are a recurring complaint. Several users reported the mic being way too sensitive, even after lowering PS5 mic sensitivity settings, causing teammates to mute them due to echo. Others called the mic 'god awful' or said it's a reason to buy a different brand. One user got static and no self-monitoring audio, unsure how to fix it, while another had a wire configuration that broke mic function on one connector entirely.

Build style pleases some, cable issues frustrate others. One commenter praised the headset's classy, reserved design, free from flashing RGB, paired with what they called great sound and mic quality overall. Another liked the detachable mic and its cover plates. However, some had trouble with the included wires, where one connector allowed listening but not speaking, and the other only outputted audio to one side, leaving them unable to talk at all.
