I will first admit I am not a gamer but often have 6+ hours of meetings per day. I've been using a Corsair wireless gaming headset with a Windows laptop for the past 3+ years so that is my main basis of comparison. That poor headset is finally starting to fall apart from such heavy usage, so I was in search of a feature-rich replacement that can last at least an equal amount of time.
What I liked about that headset was that it had a flip-to-mute mic and large, comfy earpads that didn't pinch my ears. It was way too big for my tiny head though, so my search focused on headsets that will fit smaller heads. This one absolutely fits the bill. It's even a bit snug on me on the smallest setting! It is more snug to the head so if I tilt my head or look down it will not come off. It doesn't pinch my glasses too much, but since these earpads are a little bit smaller than the Corsair, they are not particularly dangly-earring-friendly (ouch). I haven't worn them 6 hours straight yet, but off and on throughout the day. No headache yet!
The features that this EPOS headset has, that the Corsair headset doesn't have:
- you can connect to your computer through the dongle or cord, and connect to your phone through bluetooth. This allows me to listen to music or videos while I work, but not use company VPN bandwidth doing so. Seems easy to manage switching back and forth.
- the flip-to-mute boom mic is also completely removable, which is cool if I want to walk around my neighborhood with a headset on
- it even has a second internal mic, which I haven't tested yet.
- battery life is super excellent. Could probably get through a few days of work without charging it. With the Corsair one I would always charge it overnight.
- passive noise cancellation is pretty good, since these fit snugger than the Corsair ones. It's pretty peaceful.
Negatives:
- the earpads are not as breathable. It might be worth getting an extra set so I can rotate them out and clean them. Kinda sweaty on hot days.
- one other minor thing I miss is that the Corsair boom mic had a red light on it to let you know you are muted. This one cannot be hardware muted in the down position, you need to rely on hearing the click when you flip it up. Not a big deal as the flip-to-mute is what I wanted most.
My team says the sound is good on their end (through Zoom, Microsoft Teams). However, initially I had an issue with hearing my own voice through the headphone earpiece, which I DO NOT LIKE. I discovered this is known as side tone, which you can reduce or turn off using the software that goes with the headset (yay!). I don't think these headphones will excite audiophiles, but the sound is clear and decent enough and the software has a lot of equalizers and noise cancelling settings you can play with.
