INTRODUCTION

   Necessary "evil", that's how i classify certain electronics and gaming headsets are among them. My reasoning is honestly very simple, whether you live alone or with others the lack of awareness of your surroundings is a serious issue, in the former case because something may happen and you may not notice (like a break-in, something with your pets or with something happening outside of your place) whereas in the latter something may happen next door (someone may fall down or have a health emergency) and you'll still not be able to tell. Yes, these examples may sound as far-fetched to some of you but as someone who's faced similar scenarios there's no way i can ignore that possibility. At the same time however i acknowledge that gaming headsets are very convenient since they allow people to enjoy their favourite games (or movies/music) even at full volume without annoying everyone around them. So, if you have to use a gaming headset my take is that you should be using something well worth it and this is where EPOS comes in with their latest H3PRO Hybrid Wireless Gaming Headset.

   The H3PRO Hybrid is currently available in 3 colors (black - looks more like navy blue -, white and green) and is the latest addition in the growing H3 line of gaming headsets by EPOS. The H3PRO Hybrid features two angled 40mm dynamic stereo drivers featuring frequency response of 20-20kHz with 116dB sensitivity together with two microphones, a bidirectional noise cancelling detachable boom microphone (with lift to mute function) that features a frequency response of 100-7.5kHz with a sensitivity of -20dB and one inside the earcup primarily used to further improve noise cancellation. EPOS has also equipped the H3PRO Hybrid with 7.1 virtual surround sound, ANC (active noise cancellation), Bluetooth v5.2 (mobile devices), lag-free wireless dongle (use with PC/PS4/PS5), USB-C (PC/PS4/PS5), external earcup controls and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack which can power the headset for up to 38 hours when used via Bluetooth (29 hours via 3.5mm, 30 hours with the lag-free dongle and up to 22 hours with ANC enabled). Sounds like a very interesting wireless gaming headset so let’s check it out.
