Mifo FiiTii Kido Headset Review

The team over at Mifo reached out to us to see if we could like to check out their FiiTii Kido range for kids. The foldable portable headset with a detachable microphone that is available in two colours, blue and pink and is currently available to buy via the Amazon website.

It was perfect timing to check out the FiiTii Kido as we were going on holiday and my son needed a headset to watch some movies and listen to some music on the plane.

Design The FiiTii Kido has a semi-rigid headband with plenty of flex allowing for all head shapes or if your little one wears a hat it flexes to allow comfort whilst doing so. The ...

EPOS H3Pro Hybrid Gaming Headset

EPOS are back, with another H3 headset. This time it’s the EPOS H3Pro Hybrid. With a big price tag comes big features? I previously reviewed the H3 Hybrid (not the pro) and there was a lot to like.

Let’s get stuck in to see what the main differences are. Design and Control The packaging on the H3Pro Hybrid is identical to every other EPOS product. The box and foam inside feel premium and match the build and design of all of the EPOS product range. The build quality of the headset just like the H3Hybrid is excellent. Although I will say for this very premium price they still don’t feel as good as the H6Pr...
