There is a pretty good deal atm on this headset and been thinking about getting my first wireless headset for a while. Am curious about how it runs on Linux, as I've seen some controversy on this headset on website that shall not be named, but that was 3 years ago now. I dont expect to be running their propriety software for equalizing sound - but would like to know if the headset performs as it should out of the box and if the additional sound system works well. If anyone has any experience with this i'd be more than happy to hear about it. Other headset recommendations welcome to (wireless though) :)

Endeavour OS, here. I didn't have do anything in particular to get mine working.

You might need to use a windows system to verify that it's working at all, could simply be broken.

The other option is that they're on an old firmware that works differently for some reason. You'd need the EPOS software on a windows install to do an update.

I see i see, thanks again - i'll see if i can get that running with Wine otherwise i'll go the windows route.

Wine unfortunately can't be used for that kind of stuff. Programs run in wine cannot communicate directly with hardware in the way they can on windows.

Not yet, at least, but the implementation is in very, very, very early stages. As in, people have just about started figuring out how it could theoretically be done.

Good to know, I'll go the windows route then to make it quick and painless 😅
