EPOSH6Pro Open Acoustic Gaming Headset with Mic, Lightweight Headband, Comfortable and Durable Design (Black)

Sound quality is fantastic and has some fairly strong bass for an open back headset. I have no complaints with the mic, it's nice and clear. Since this is EPOS it uses some of the same features from the past Sennheiser headsets and that's not a bad thing. It still has the flip up mic mute feature and the volume wheel is on the side of the earcup (although I think it feels a little nicer now). One change they did make is you can pull off the mic now because it's held on by magnets, pretty cool.Sound wise compared to the PC38X it's pretty similar but the PC38X has a more open air sound, you shouldn't be surprised if you ever compared the two in pictures. I would almost call the H6Pro a "semi open" headset, for example if you put the H6Pro on your head your voice is only slightly muffled, but when wearing the PC38X you can hear yourself clear as can be. So in the sound department I would just barely give the crown to the PC38X.Comfort is pretty good, still not the best I've ever had on my head but it certainly has lighter clamping force than the PC38X. Build quality so far seems great, miles better than the PC38X it's made of more than just plastic and feels sturdier. Looks are subjective but I like the H6Pro better in this department as well, it looks more like a gamer headset while not looking overly gamer, clean and no RGB.

As far as gaming headsets go. These are incredible. No they aren’t audiophile but I tested them with my 58x and to my ear there is little difference. The hd58x are slightly more clear. I don’t know where the hate comes from with these. Perhaps it’s the closed variant but open are amazing.Sound: Like I said, not hd58x but so closeBuild: Better than my hd58x, they have a metal band and the plastic is a brushed finish instead of a cheap shiny finish like my 58xComfort: this is what ultimately made me stick with these over an audiophile headset. The comfort is amazing. Maybe it’s because of my size head but they are amazing and it’s the best selling point for me. Little clamping force out of the box. Sooooo comfortableAesthetics: this is obviously not as important for some but I want my headset to look good. The design is amazing and was the first thing to attract my attention.Mic quality is actually really good. I don’t need anything that is crazy as I majority play competitive games.Ultimately I chose these over my 58x. I got tired of not having a mic on my actual header. Modmic was not that great as it added even more wires. There is one wire with the H6pro. It literally offers the best balance as far as sound, aesthetics, build, comfort, convenience and all with a detachable mic that adds no clutter.WORTH. IT. All headsets and headphones are overpriced pieces of plastic so like cars you will always over pay. But these justStrike such a good balance vs the rest of the market

Sound is good, mic sounds good, I like the knob on the right ear that handles volume, I like the microphone removability and lifting up to mute. The issue is that they really squeeze my head and I need to take them off to feel relief every hour or so. Not ideal for a gaming or work headset.

So, I could ramble about headsets and headphones for a long time.I own, amongst others:Audeze LCD-3, LCD-GXBeyerdynamic 990 ProAudio-Technica ATH-G1WLSteelSeries Arctis ProSennheiser everything ever it feels likeIn practice, these are the ones I actually use. Why? They offer the best combination of comfort, audio quality, mic quality, and compatibility that I've been able to find.Please point me at a better-sounding headset that costs 5x+ as much as this that actually works and doesn't wear out after long-term use, and I'll buy it and buy you one too.For FPS gamers, these make footsteps incredibly easy to localize.. I'm talking to you, Counter-Strike players. The comparison in this regard to the Arctis Pro Wireless is incredibly stark; the SteelSeries will just get you killed, sorry.(The Audeze LCD-GX are nicer-sounding but much heavier, much more expensive, and the microphone cables cost $180 to replace when they inevitably wear out. Not to mention the mic bleed-through from FPS gunfire. They sit in their box at this point, regrettably.)

These work and fit just fine. I paired these with a Sound Blaster GC7 DAC, and they sound fine, but not any better than the cheap Audio Technicas I have. There's nothing wrong with them, build quality is good, but the sound is nothing special. Very little bass, very shallow sound stage.

I feel bad because I wrote a scathing review of the GSP 600 Closed back because they were so uncomfortable. In that review I was like, "Don't worry guys, Sennheiser isn't going anywhere and they'll fix the next headset!" Then I pretty much wrote them off and kept using my Game Ones. Well shortly afterward, Sennheiser sells their gaming headset division to EPOS. Then EPOS decides to stop making gaming products. So I never even got to give them a second chance until now when Amazon slashed the prices.This headset is awesome. The earcups fit around my ears, so there's no pressure.The cable is soft and easily straightens out.The mic is decent although I think the OG Game One still has a better mic.I'm using this with the EPOS GSX 1000 2nd Edition and the experience is phenomenal.This headset will pump the bass if you so desire while keeping the highs detailed. The sound sits a little farther from your ears than the Game One headset, but this is nice for handling explosions in FPS games.Godspeed Sennheiser and EPOS. Hopefully one day you will return to the gaming arena and we can all celebrate pro quality audio once again.
