And here we actually have the possibility to do a lot of research with professional scientists that look into how audio affects our brain." " And through them we actually have access to a big research center called Ericsholm in the northern of Zeeland in Denmark. And they have 115 years of experience doing hearing aid solutions for people all around the world." So as I mentioned before, we are owned by Demand. " It's not one thing you can point at, but it's our way of approaching product developments. How does it make the EPOS product line even better? Well, Brain Adapt for starters is a line of philosophers that we are using when developing our headsets." But for people that are not fans of side tone per se, an open acoustic is nice because you can actually hear yourself talking, right? So that's a nice way of doing it without using side tone." " What we also thought was, and I know Xbox they have introduced their monitoring where you can actually get side tone. So you would like to sit and play with that headset in a silent environment." The only thing with an open back is that when it's a noisy environment, you also get audio and sounds inside. " So for longer gameplay sessions, for most it will be more comfortable. And also it does add a little bit more of air to your ears." What it does is that it actually brings a more realistic audio experience and audio picture. The open acoustics is not something that is broadly known in the market. " The H6 Pro, open acoustics, is another story. We're really trying to bring this immersive experience through audio with our headsets." What we really believe, our philosophy, that adds to the gaming experience and the audio picture when you're playing. " We have our Brain Adapt that we'll talk about later on. It pretty much fits everyone, right? So you've got a very good headset, you've got some good audio." It's pretty decent for the average gamer. " It's a plug-and-play analog, pretty decent. And what makes the H3 and the H6 the perfect headset for gamers? I mean, what is the perfect headset? The H3, as mentioned, it's our entry-level headset." So the Xbox portfolio is the H3, closed acoustic, and the H6 Pro, open acoustic. " And we have actually brought that into the Xbox portfolio also now. Also taking our H3, which is like our entry-level closed acoustic headset." That is the big focus for the rest of the year now. Of course, then we have the H6 Pro, open acoustic now, with the Xbox design. " So we're actually focusing on them this year. We have some good sellers, still some good legacy products, such as Game Zero and GSP370 and so on." So that is what we're looking into right now. ![]() " We're right now looking into having some of our old co-branded products, turning them into Epos-only products. What can we expect from Epos in 2023 and potentially even beyond? I mean, in 2023, we're always working on trying to bring the newest stuff, interesting stuff to the market." And talking about products as well, tell us about your latest portfolio of devices. " And simply taking our open acoustic headset to Xbox, we thought that that was a good add-on. It's a great possibility for us to get into new audiences, getting into new target groups, you know." ![]() " What are they working with? I mean, it's a big organization, they do help us. " I mean, even though we have a long legacy, previously being known as Sennheiser Communications, and now for the last two and a half years, been called Epos, being part of the demand company, it is still crazy to have the possibility to work with Xbox and do a collab with them and doing this new design for our existing headset." You know, we're a big gaming publication, we're at a gaming event, so tell us, what's it like working with Microsoft and what can we expect with this collaboration with Xbox? Well, I mean, first of all, it's amazing being a small new company." " There's a bunch of different talking points that we're going to get to, but one that I want to start with is Xbox. ![]() As you can probably tell by the wonderful background behind us, I'm currently at Epos' booth in the Cole Messer at Gamescom, and I'm standing here with Michael from Epos to tell us about all the wonderful things that you're doing over there." " Hello everyone and welcome back to Gamereactor.
