Drop + Epos H3X Headset review: Best sub-$100 gaming headset. Period

Drop and Epos have once again teamed up to bring their collaborative magic to the budget gaming headset market, creating a model that instantly dominates even some pricier options.

Online retailer Drop and Epos, a company formed by the former gaming division of legendary audio equipment maker Sennheiser, have again come together to make a gaming headset. This time, the collaborative duo is targeting the budget end of the market with a sub-$80 model that attempts to do for the low-price market what their incredible PC38X headset did for the mid-range market.

More importantly, it retains a remarkable amount of the DNA of its more expensive cousin, closely mirroring how it feels, performs, and sounds.
