Well, my Samsung S22+ has the option to limit recharging to 85% to preserve cell usage, which means that the system can rotate which battery cells get charged, leaving the most used 15% to skip some charging cycles, in order to limit cell degradation, and improving product longevity. So this sounds like a really useful feature actually.
I don’t have any of the problems you mentioned with my new h3pro. Simultaneous audio on iPhone & ps5 works flawlessly, as does the reach of the usb dongle (no disconnects even at over 10m with walls inbetween)
I’ve got the same headset, and the battery announcement says “OVER 80% battery remaining.” It will say that when it’s 80-100% charged. Don’t worry that it’s not fully charged.
It probably stops charging at 80% to not damage the battery, especially if its plugged in all night that would do some pretty decent damage to the batterys life time. Keeping batteries between 20% and 80% will ensure the battery lasts for the longest possible time. Going up to 100% and still being plugged in will damage any battery

I have the wired version and they’re AMAZING! For the comfort, sound, versatility and ability to connect Bluetooth and use it simultaneously while gaming, they’re isn’t another pair that beats them at the price. But I will say, the price for the wireless version is outrageous.
How does this compare to the TB Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max? I sent my Epos back as they weren't comfortable to me, I didn't like the ANC implementation (hated the Sidetone quality with ANC off!) nor did the sound really hit the spot (compared to the Penrose I also use). I need a more comfy set than the Penrose for daytime work use as well as gaming.
I got the same headphones for my ps5 but no one can hear me I looked up heaps of videos but none of them worked can someone tell me how I get get people to hear me
You can play video games and music and take phone calls at the same time but the headset was intended to take audio from 1 source at a time that is why you hear a crackling sound
This one’s or the Virtuoso XT ? got my Corsair but don’t know if I should keep the because I like the quality and how easy I can use them between devices or returned them for a much louder headset ?
I don't play competitive shooters. I mainly play strategy games, or hang with friends with games like Valhiem. I also watch movies on my PC and listen to music so bluetooth would be great but not a must. Can you recommend a wireless headset that isn't a billion dollars, sounds good and comfortable for 10+ hours of use. (even if its a link you another of your videos)
Having to still turn the headset on and making sure it has a charge even while using it while wired kind of eliminates the purpose of having a wired option in my mind. On my Virtuoso XTs, I love being able to just plug them in when the battery is low and not have to worry about them dying. Really disagree with Epos's decision there
I'm curious, are you saying the headset can't be used while plugged in to charge? I'm looking to see if this is a thing with Epos H3Pro Hybrid. I know some headsets can't be used while charging so I'm hoping you can shed some light on that!

Thanks for another awesome video. On a side note that has nothing to do with this video, For the last month I've been using my space bar flipped like you do and i don't think i can ever go back to the normal way. I even got my wife doing it now too. Small thing, but game changing. Thanks bro.
Idk if you guys check older products and reviews, but this is now 140$ on Amazon / 119 EUR on Amazon DE. @The Techne what do you think about that price my man?
I have been using the Arctis 7P with wicked cushions since they were first recommended for the PS5 they are starting to have some wear and tear. The left ear audio cuts out from time to time. Any better headsets for PS5 under $200 Sidetone and Bluetooth preferred?
Hey Techne I play call of duty mobile daily on my ipad. After watching your review on the audeze penrose I purchased a set and they have been fantastic although the fact the EQ isn't supported on ios was a bit of a let down. Now I'm in the market for a new set of headphones because unfortunately the support bracket for the ear cup broke. Do you have any suggestions for what I should purchase next keeping in mind they will be used 100% bluetooth for gaming on my ipad. Thanks mate and keep up the good work love your content 👍
If people buy them they shouldn’t pay the full price of $279.99 because they regularly go on sale for as little as $100 to $120. I paid $112.99 + tax and shipping and everything they came to $120 total. I just ordered them today and should get them Saturday. I will update my comment depending on how they sound when I receive them
I tried the Corsair HS70 before and they were literally the most uncomfortable pair of headphones I’ve ever worn. I really wanted to try Virtuoso’s, but after that experience with Corsair, it made me hesitant, lol.
I gotta be honest, since the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless I just can’t see myself using any other wireless headphones. Not have to ever worry about the headset dying on a wireless headset is great. I know battery life on headsets nowadays ain’t a issue for a 10-12 hour gaming session (which I can’t remember the last time I even played for 5 hours straight…) but even just not having to ever plug them in to charge but having a second battery at all times ready to go had ruined headsets for me. I wanna see more headsets/mice with a dual battery system with a charging dock/amp/base system that sits on your desk.
Agree on the Arctis Pro Wireless, easy battery switch, multipoint connection and very capable microphone both on 2.4ghz and BT which is perfect use for work/zoom/phon calls From the mic test, the BT sound quality is just average, don't think this can replace my old AWP.
The Nova Pro Wireless ANC nub is the one thing that turned me away from that headset, right now I’m just going to use my BlackShark V2 Pro and maybe pick up the Epos to try it out
Well you’ve got me curious! Hey, when you go wired on ps5, do you get a bad echo? I can’t seem to figure it out. Maybe looking into the 600 gen 2 max ti replace my Arctis 1 wireless.. that I got because of your video! How’s that for taking you back 😂
Im having the same connection issues, i get the wierd crackling noises aswell when its connected by usb to my pc and bluetooth to my phone. I have sent a ticket to epos and hope they can somehow provide a fix to this, but i have my doubts, really did not expect this from epos/sennheiser that usually have really good audio devices.
It's bad to leave a battery charging at full capacity over night, it probably won't be at 100% unless you remove them immediately at full charge or plug them back in at 80% depending on how they have them set up. I can't imagine it being impossible to charge them to 100%, but it seems they've accounted for MOST people leaving them on the charger overnight.
Look the ps5 thing could just be a software problem or a driver problem but it can be resolved with a wire so I would still say that these headphones are perfect
hi techne im a laptop user and I got arctis 3 because of your review. its so cozy. its clamping force is a bit high right now, does the arctis 3 lose their clamping force overtime?
Correction: it says "more than 80% battery left" when full charged. She has an accent :)
You should review the beyerdynamic mmx 300 for Xbox series X, ps5 and pc. It’s crazy!
I don't get the Bluetooth on PS5 problem either, does that mean they're now perfect and you recommend them?
can you test the headset after the firmware update to see if the connectivity issues have been resolved?
it does the same with my GSP670 but it shows 100% on the gaming suite
Well, my Samsung S22+ has the option to limit recharging to 85% to preserve cell usage, which means that the system can rotate which battery cells get charged, leaving the most used 15% to skip some charging cycles, in order to limit cell degradation, and improving product longevity.

Even if it does that, it should report 80% as "100%" which is what some phones do. It just makes sense from a consumer perspective.
Agreed with Crimson
