Sometimes a price tag outweighs the benefit of gimmicks.

It ain't easy being a premium headset. Most everyone who looks at you is going to ask, "Are you really worth the price of multiple devices?" And in the EPOS H3PRO Hybrid's case, the answer is: No. The headset itself is very nice, but the whole is not greater than the sum of the parts. For the overall price tag of $279, you could get multiple quality devices that fit each specific use case of the H3PRO Hybrid, and you wouldn't have to worry about a single, somewhat fragile, primarily plastic pair of cans being the end-all-be-all of your audio experience.
