While lockdown may be gradually lifting here in the UK, many of us are still finding ourselves working from home. Kitchen tables, spare rooms, and even our precious battle stations are still serving as a temporary setting for meetings. As such, many of us are still in the market for a good all-rounder headset. One which can take us from Zoom calls to the battlefield, all in glorious high fidelity.
Well, look no further: Meet the EPOS H3 Headset.
Stylish Sound
Sporting a range of EPOS quality features, the H3 headset comes in two distinct styles: Onyx Black and Ghost White. Simplistic, understated, yet bold, these headsets are stylish whatever you use them for. The Onyx Black is monochromatic in black while the Ghost White features crisp white panels accented with black.
With great style comes great comfort, too. The padded headband rests gently on your head, thanks to the lightweight nature of the EPOS H3, and is fully adjustable to suit your needs. What’s more, this stainless steel headband is notched and numbered, making remembering your favourite setting easier than ever. Don’t you just love it when products make your life simpler?
Ergonomic Earpads
Designed to mimic the natural shape of your ears, the large earpads sit sublimely while creating an amazing acoustic seal. In addition to this, the earcups are hinged to better conform to any headband adjustments and still remain super comfortable.
The H3 is a closed-acoustic headset, so your gaming soundscape is directly channelled, transporting you into the heart of the action. The right earcup carries an integrated, intuitive volume wheel for those on-the-fly adjustments. You need never worry about fiddly controls again.
While the EPOS H3 headsets are made to be robust and durable, the earpads are the most perishable component. Stands to reason, as they see the most wear and tear. Never fear – EPOS have you covered. The earpads on this gaming headset are replaceable! The GSA 3 Earpads are compatible with the H3 and now available separately – huzzah!
Amazing Audio
Of course, the most vital piece of information I can give about these headsets is about the audio quality. EPOS are supported by many years of experience when it comes to audio engineering, and every headset delivers your gaming soundscape in amazing high fidelity.
Primed for gaming, the audio has been balanced to optimise your gameplay. Audio cues play with clarity to help improve your in-game reaction times. Explosions sound fuller thanks to the deep bass extension. And any communications from your squad come through with minimal interference from background noise.
Marvellous Microphone
Bidirectional, the microphone is ultra-sensitive and capable of picking up sounds whispered at -47dB. Never fear though, the microphone has passive noise-cancellation keeping your team comms clear and crisp. What’s more, when the boom is lifted the microphone automatically mutes itself. A nifty little trick when you need a mid-game snack or are interrupted by another house member asking if you want a cuppa.
Speaking of the boom, it is flexible and can be set to the exact position to best pick up your voice. Every order and strategy tactic will be picked up with precise clarity. It’s entirely up to your team if they listen to them!
Cross Compatibility
While we are all about PC Gaming here at Overclockers UK, we do recognise that gaming spans across many platforms. So, having a headset that does the same can only be a good thing. Using a 3.5mm connector, the EPOS H3 headset is compatible with any platform sporting the relevant audio jack. If not, we now have on pre-order the EPOS Audio Combo Adaptors – covering all the bases for you.
Hero Headset
Of course, this amazing audio support extends further than your gaming needs. Whether you are in endless Zoom meetings, listening to music all day long, or relaxing with an audiobook, the EPOS H3 Headset will immerse you in every soundscape you throw its way.
