EPOS H6Pro - Open Acoustic Gaming Headset with Mic, Lightweight & Comfortable Design, Xbox, PS4, PS5 & PC Headset - Black

So to preface this review, I've had a lot of headphones both for music and gaming. I'm not an audiophile, but I am quite particular when it comes to sound. I've had HyperX Cloud2, SteelSeries, V-Moda, Sony XM3. These headphones (open) are now my favourite for both music and gaming. Comfort: these do not clamp against your head like some have reviewed on the closed back. There's enough adjustability in the headband to get the sizing just right and stays in place nicely. I don't suffer from hot ears or sweaty head after hours of gaming, and I really don't feel like I've got anything on. You will not fatigue with these one bit. I found my HyperX to be very comfortable, but when trying these and going back to the HyperX, you can tell they're in different leagues (price wise you certainly are) Sound quality: this area is highly subjective like anything audio related it comes down to personal preference. I saw a lot of reviews saying the profile was relatively flat and lacked low end when compare to the closed. I can't comment on the closed, but I was pleasantly surprised how much low end it had when expecting such a flat profile. Both gaming and music, these things just sing. Playing FPS games I could hear footsteps and direction of enemy much clearer than HyperX. Explosions and bullets sounded amazing! Sound leakage: these are my first open back headphones. But the wife didn't complain hearing my gaming/music when played at same volume as HyperX. Not to say its not there, because it certainly is. But in a typical sized front living room, with my wife sat on the other sofa, she had to concentrate to hear anything. Happy wife, happy gamer! Music: I compared these to my Sony wh1000 XM3, which I love. I wasn't expecting much at first as the two couldn't be more different with Sony having ANC and closed back vs non-ANC and open back. But I was taken aback by how good music sounded on these. Obviously these are basically Sennheiser headphones, and so should sound very good! But it wasn't something I thought I'd appreciate quite as much as I did. The clarity, clear crisp highs and rumbling lows were welcomed, I cranked the volume up and no distortion. You could happily listen to Rap/R&B, hip hop, dance, pop, rock... they are truly versatile. Microphone: I like how you can magnetically remove the mic if you wanted. It rotates up to mute the mic automatically. From what others have fed back, my voice is clear and not too loud, with no background noise either. Though can't comment too much as not heard the results myself only feedback of others I've played with I highly recommend these headphones for either gaming or music.

Honestly, this is the best headset I've ever owned. Paired with the EPOS Sennheiser GSX 1000 audio amp, the sound quality even competes with the much heavier Audeze Maxwell. The drivers are tuned perfectly right out of the box, and the headset is incredibly lightweight and exceptionally comfortable. I even wear it in bed while using my Steam Deck, and even without the amp, the audio quality is phenomenal.

Don't be misled by the raving reviews. The biggest issue with this headset is its low volume. You'll need an amp to hear anything; 100% sounds like 40%, which doesn't help the open design make you feel like you're "in the room with the music", like some reviewers say (it does not feel like that at all). This headset also doesn't come with USB connection but 3.5mm jacks, which means I have to unplug my speakers to use them, or get a USB adapter. There's no software either, so for mic playback your only option is the default Windows playback which has a delay (unusable really). Inserting the jack into the headset takes a surprising amount of force, otherwise you'll only get audio from one side. Mic quality is OK, the standard level of nasally. I'm not an audiophile but the sound quality--when you can actually hear it--is nothing special and, while I lack the experienced ears to pinpoint why, I didn't really like how music (alt metal) sounded on these; muffled, not very bassy, and drowned out or cut off at parts. The volume wheel on the right earcup seems pointless as it can't even be turned all the way down (though the opposite is more of a concern for these whimpering headphones). Comfort wise, the angled cushions fit nicely around my ears, but the headband made the top of my head sore after an hour. The H6PRO made me realise I dislike 2 things: open back designs--they just sound quieter for you and louder for those around you, at which point you might as well use speakers, and don't feel any cooler on the ears; and non-flexible mics--they just feel restrictive and too in your face, and I'd rather push a button to mute than pull the whole mic up (I didn't appreciate the Kraken V2's mic enough). The only truly positive thing I have to say about this headset is the green and gold colour scheme looks nice, but a golden turd is still a turd. I refunded mine after less than 24hrs.

Really versatile headphones. I love the fact you can remove the mic attachment and put on a normal cover. The flip to mute mic is great and works really well the magnet adhesion and contact pins design is genius as should prevent any breakages of flipping the mic repeatedly. My only negative is the white colour pads can quickly become dirty over prolonged use and it's not advised to wash them so that's annoying as I would have to source replacements. As for the sound profile I think they are good I do prefer open design headphones to prevent any pressure and these meet that expectation.

TL:DR - It’s good - requires power to amp it, is comfortable, excellent imaging for games, is not ‘hifi’ but still fun with music. I convinced myself (and crucially my wife) that I needed this headset as I had problems with the onboard mic for conference calls on my work laptop. It so happens to be a very good gaming headset as well! Likes: -Comfortable, -Excellent noise suppression from the mic (colleagues never notice background noises.) -Automate when boom mic is tilted up. -Detachable boom mic -Two sets for cables - one with separate mic cable and the other all in one. -Open design means I can still here my wife or the Postie knocking at the door. -For gaming I was really happy with - the accuracy/special awareness and the lack of sibilance/hard or fatiguing treble. I could hear the gun fire and it made my heart pump but not my ears bleed. Dislikes: -The headphones need a bit of power to drive them. I used a Creative G6 headphone amplifier as it has an input for the mic. I also tested it with my Chord Hugo Dac/head amplifier and that was overkill. My advice the Creative is plenty good enough it’s enjoyable but don’t waste your money on exotic amplifiers unless you have them for hifi grade headphones. -Lastly the pads are very comfortable but they pick up crud and skin fairly easily so will require cleaning.

Accidentally ordered the closed back version during black friday rushing. They both sounded gd and the closed version creates a gd seal with minimal leak of sound, perfect for zoning in during competitive games with the added emphasis of bass and if you have people around you they'll not hear much of your game either. The open back version sounds a lot more fuller, wider, with the bass better managed, making it the choice for just everything from gaming to music. Be warned, the sound will leak much more with it being open back. The microphone and overall comfort is very good.

Gteay headset. Clear crisp audio. Bass is abit lacking when plugged directly into PC nut buying and Amp would resolve this no problem.

I wanted open back headphones, more comfy, and you can still hear doorbells, the phone ringing etc. These seemed overpriced but you can't go wrong with Sennheiser or so I thought. Basically for gaming these are adequate. But if you do anything else like listen to music, watch youtube or whatever, these are surprisingly poor. Play Michael Jackson's 'Man In The Mirror' through them and they just can't cope. The driver in these is located up and away from your ear and it makes everything sound distant. The higher the frequency, the more distant and tinny it sounds. The bass is pretty good, no complaints there but for this price you'd expect more. These don't even do 7.1 surround. (They will if you pay an extra £70 for a sound card). HyperX are offering wireless headphones with 7.1 for half this price, it's a bit bizarre. The microphone does the job but nothing amazing, and as with a lot of headphones these days they do put too much pressure on your head. I returned these and got Sennheiser's Gaming One headset instead, they're far superior.

Prima koptelefoon!

ich habe mir nach 10 Jahren ein neues Headset gegönnt von einem Sennheiser PC350 Se zu diesem Epos H6 Pro Open in weiss! Die Verpackung ist sehr schick und edel genau wie das Headset auch alles ist tip top und ich kann keine unpassenden oder schlecht sitzenden Bauteile erkennen. Es Trägt sich wirklich sehr bequem und ist auch für Brillenträger ohne einschränkungen zu empfehlen! Der Sound ist hervorragend (mir ist aber bewusst das es ein persönlicher eindruck ist jenach dem wer es wie gerne mag) Ich nutze das Headset für Gaming/Streaming/Discord/Musik Basse kommen sauber und mit gut Druck aber nicht übersteuert gleichzeitig bleiben höhen und mitten jederzeit hörbar und gehen weder unter noch übertönen sie tiefe Töne Ich kann das Headset auf jedenfall empfehlen PS: es gibt Beschreibungen wo es mit bluetooth beworben wird das hat es NICHT

En serio de los mejores auriculares que he tenido. Mejor que muchos más caros. Perfecto en comodidad, sonido y micrófono. Esta muy bien para pasar horas. Muchas horas en el trabajo con ellos y genial

Qualité sonore incroyable.micro très bon . produit de haute gamme

Ich bin von einem geschlossenen Overear-Kopfhörer umgestiegen, da ich meine Ohren bei längeren Spielesessions besser belüftet wissen wollte (gesundheitlich vorteilhafter). Dabei las ich immer wieder, dass die offenen Kopfhörer aufgrund der Bauweise leider nicht so voluminös bzw. bass-stark sind. Hier wurde ich vom Gegenteil überzeugt. Vorher hatte ich die Sennheiser GSP600, bei denen mir der brachiale Bass gefiel, man spürte quasi das Zittern einer Explosion. Kaum zu glauben, aber dieser Kopfhörer ist hier nochmals krasser, ohne jedoch dabei akustisch unangenehm zu werden. Perfekter Sound fürs Gaming! Fazit: Super Klang, super Verarbeitung, super Komfort, kann man sehr gut sehr lange tragen. Bin top zufrieden!
