The white Epomaker GX1 wireless headset gives me Y2K vibes in the best possible way

The Epomaker GX1 didn't instinctively remind me of the early 2000s and the turn of the millennium until I caught a glimpse of the white version of the headset. Rather than dunking the entire pair in a basic shade of white, Epomaker included metallic baby blue yokes that instantly reminded me of the Y2K-era.

In the early 2000s, tech was either transparent or coated in silver and metallic colors to give it that 'space age' look of the future. This $49.99 pair went the metallic route and, when combined with its unique oval earcups, feels like it's stepped straight out of my 2000s childhood. Fortunately for us, it sounds far better than any gaming headset I tried way back then.

If you're as much of a fan of this funky white headset as I am, you can grab it right now for 20% at Amazon, taking its price from $49.99 to as little as $42.49 for a limited time.

I really dig the look of the white model. Equipping the pair with metallic baby blue yokes (the sections that attach the headband to the earcups) was a simple design choice, but one that has ultimately made me pretty fond of Epomaker's first foray into the world of gaming audio.

When I first caught a glimpse, I instantly imagined it being donned by one of the Y2K gaming era's most fashionable icons, Ulala from Sega's Space Channel 5. While the headsets she wears in the original Dreamcast games are blue and silver, there was an official Space Channel 5 Part 2 headset that launched in Japan that was drenched in a metallic silver colorway, with oval cups and dabs of blue for the game's logo.
