    Does it keep the EQ setting on the headset when you move from a PS5 to PC, or to phone?
    I usually dial-in settings once and forget about it while jumping from device to device.

    How does the ANC on the Epos H3 Pro Hybrid compare to the H9 I assume Sony's ANC is much better than Epos's ANC but is it a big difference? My only reference for ANC is my WF-1000xm3 earbuds so I'm wondering if the H3 Pro Hybrid would be a step-up from those. The ability to not look like a helicopter pilot in public would be great, so it's a shame that the mic on the H9 is not removable.

    Hi, one question as PS5 user.. when you change settings with the inzone app, are they pushed to the H9 headset so they are used also on PS5 or are they only used when you connect the headset to the PC?

    • @aladdinmaamar1416
      @aladdinmaamar1416 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      At the unboxing there was a link to the app when you wanted to connect to ps5, so I think you could change some EQ settings in there. Not all but some

      I definitely noticed the bump inside the Nova Pro Wireless and found it uncomfortable at times, but I have not had the same issue with the H9 even though it has a similar ANC bump. It's been much more comfortable for me.

    Side note for PS5 owners. You can’t change the EQ settings on PS5 !
    Only on PC can you utilise those EQ settings in the Hub app. Poor from Sony considering they make both the console and the head phones.

  • @skykingusa
    @skykingusa 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really loved my Arctic Pro Wireless I used to have because it was wireless and its Bluetooth connectivity was excellent, letting me take calls easily while I was gaming. However, I found it uncomfortable because it was too small for my head and I now prefer open-back headphones. I wish the Drop Sennheiser PC38X headset that I now use, came in a wireless version. Why can't someone make an open-back wireless headset with bluetooth like these? I would definitely be in the market for one of those if it sounded as good as my PC38X.

    • @72markc

    These headsets look amazing and I’ve been looking forward to trying these headsets.
    However, I’m quite disappointed, because it seems like whilst they’re being advertised as a PS5 headset, they’re more PC headsets first. I’m sure they sound really good, but if they sound more on the dark side out of the box, as an FPS gamer on PS5 it will be no use to me as I wouldn’t even be able to adjust the EQ, unless I’m on the PC and I’ve just read online any custom adjustment on the hub cannot be carried over to the PS5
