The EPOS H3 Hybrid deal at Woot cuts the gaming headset to $24.99, according to The Verge. Woot lists the headset as marked down from its $99.99 original price, a 75% discount.
The sale stands out because the H3 Hybrid is a wired headset that also supports Bluetooth audio. The Verge reports that it can play sound from a wired source and a wireless source at the same time, a feature aimed at players who want game audio from a controller or PC while also using Bluetooth for music or calls.
What is the EPOS H3 Hybrid deal?
Woot is offering the EPOS H3 Hybrid for $24.99, according to The Verge. The deal covers a headset with USB-A and 3.5mm wired connections, Bluetooth support, and a battery rated for up to 37 hours per charge.
The headset can connect by USB-A or 3.5mm cable to a controller or computer, The Verge reports. Its Bluetooth feature is separate, allowing the headset to handle phone audio alongside the wired audio feed.
What features does the headset include?
- USB-A and 3.5mm wired connection options, according to The Verge.
- Bluetooth support for music and calls.
- Simultaneous wired and wireless audio playback.
- Battery life of up to 37 hours per charge.
- Two microphones: a detachable boom mic and an integrated mic.
The dual-microphone setup gives users a choice between a boom mic for gaming and a built-in mic for Bluetooth calls, The Verge reports. That means calls can be handled without keeping the boom mic attached.
The Verge’s Brad Bourque noted that the H3 Hybrid adds Bluetooth capability to the wired H3 design. The publication’s Cameron Faulkner reviewed the wired-only H3 five years ago and found its sound profile balanced, its fit comfortable, and its volume knob generously sized, according to The Verge.
Faulkner had concerns about USB connectivity and the absence of sidetone on the wired model, The Verge reported. Bourque wrote that those issues appear to have been addressed in the Hybrid version now on sale.
Who is this headset for?
The deal is aimed at shoppers who still want a budget wired gaming headset but also want Bluetooth for secondary audio. The Verge framed the discount as an alternative to newer low-latency wireless gaming headsets, which have become more common.
The offer is available through Woot, according to The Verge. As with any limited-time retail deal, price and stock can change at the seller’s discretion.
