EPOMAKER GX1 Wireless Gaming Headset, 7.1 Surround, 50mm Drivers, RGB

Gamers looking for flexible audio across consoles and computers can choose between 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired listening with the EPOMAKER GX1. Its connection options make it practical to move between gaming and everyday audio without relying on a single format.

Virtual 7.1 surround sound and 50mm dynamic drivers bring game audio into focus, while the open-back design creates a more spacious soundscape for environmental cues.

A detachable ENC microphone helps reduce background noise picked up during team chat. The over-ear headset weighs 320 g and has a seven-position adjustable headband for a fit that can be tailored to longer sessions.

What to know

The GX1 combines three connection modes: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, and wired audio. Use 2.4GHz for gaming on PS5, PS4, PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch. Bluetooth is suited to compatible phones or tablets for calls and media. PS5 and PS4 do not support Bluetooth audio through this headset, Xbox Series consoles support wired mode only.

For wired use, the listed connection options are USB-C to 3.5mm or USB-A to USB-C, and the headset also has a 3.5mm audio jack. Choosing among wireless, Bluetooth, and wired connections gives the GX1 a broader role than a headset built around one connection type, especially when switching between a gaming setup and personal devices.

The 50mm dynamic drivers support virtual 7.1 surround sound, with directional audio cues suited to FPS matches as well as game environments where spatial details matter. Its open-back acoustic design is intended to create a wide, airy soundstage. RGB lighting adds a visible accent to a gaming setup, and battery playback is rated for up to 70 hours with RGB off or 30 hours with RGB on.

Everyday use

For a gaming session, select the 2.4GHz connection on a supported console or computer and use the detachable ENC microphone for team communication. Its noise-canceling function is designed to help keep keyboard sounds, room chatter, and ambient hum from carrying into voice chat. Remove the microphone when you want to use the headset without it.

The open-back soundstage is a useful fit for immersive campaigns, open-world play, and multiplayer sessions where game ambience and directional cues are part of the experience. For calls or streaming audio from a compatible phone or tablet, Bluetooth 5.3 offers a separate wireless option. When you want a cable connection, use one of the listed wired modes.

The lightweight 320 g frame, breathable leather earpads, and adjustable headband are designed with extended wear in mind. RGB lighting can be switched off to access the headset’s longer stated playback time, or left on when its illuminated look is part of the setup.

Practical tips

Match the connection mode to the device before starting: 2.4GHz wireless for supported gaming platforms, Bluetooth for compatible phones and tablets, and wired mode for Xbox Series consoles. For PS5 or PS4, use 2.4GHz or a wired connection rather than Bluetooth audio. This simple distinction helps make the headset’s multi-device flexibility useful in a real gaming routine.

Adjust the headband across its seven positions for a more personalized fit, and position the detachable microphone for team chat. If you move between play and calls, switching connection modes lets the same over-ear headset serve both activities. Choose RGB on or off based on your preferred setup and the stated playback time for each lighting setting.

Buying verdict

The EPOMAKER GX1 is a strong match for gamers who want one headset for supported console and computer play, with Bluetooth available for compatible personal devices. Its combination of virtual 7.1 sound, a detachable ENC mic, three connection modes, and up to 70 hours of playback with RGB off makes it especially useful for players who value both gaming features and flexible everyday listening.
