Kind of confused about this one. MSRP is actually $199, but the normal price supposedly is $27 but various 3rd party sites say this is normally $70+ to $120 and this dropped minutes ago so no clue if this is a fire deal but seems like it is

They are probably offloading inventory - EPOS as a company has been shedding their divisions (killed off their gaming division) and is in the process of shutting down.

For what it's worth, found a critical review stating:
"This mic's MSRP was originally ~$200 USD, and as of this writing it's about 85% off, so it's a bargain in that regard, but you need to work around the awful software to make it work well, and you can get an Audio-Technica ATR2100 Dynamic mic that sounds just as good out of the box with 1/20th the effort of setup for the same price...the B20 becomes a tough sell."
EPOS (electronic peice of sht) is a failure of a company that tries to use brands it buys to sell whitelabed chinesium garbage with no support
Not really true…but anyways.
Do not buy this mic, unless you're a professional, and in that case you probably have something else that's better. The EPOS Gaming Suite software is basically abandonware, and you need much more complicated 3rd party software (voicemeeter, etc) to make this mic worthwhile, which is beyond most people's tolerance. This mic is VERY sensitive, and that makes it difficult to manage in most home office setups. It is solidly built, sounds great under proper conditions, but is quite limited.
As for EPOS, they've gone back to their "corp" style products for call centers and office professionals. That said, their gaming headsets are fantastic and can also be had on clearance, and basically are the next generation of Sennheiser gaming products, as EPOS was the brand behind their gaming headsets for years.
Great microphone was able to pickup two for $18+ each. Didn't bother using their software, works great with the Arctis Steel series software. Supports 2 channel 24bit 48000hz (Studio quality). For a under $20 mic with this build quality, features and great astetics.
Would recommend giving it a go, worse case return it.

Have you tried the epos gaming gear? It's certainly not even close to senn quality. It's terrible products with terrible support. Not at all surprised senn cut them off
