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.

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.

I am actually astounded at how many people sing the praises of this headset when it is quite easily the worst headset I've ever used in my life, let alone for the ridiculous price range these apparently belong in. - The sound quality was awful, the overall volume had to be so low in order to preserve any kind of clarity which you could barely hear because it had to be so low. When raising the volume, the bass would distort so loudly the mids and trebles would get drowned out. - The build quality felt good in the hands and to look at, but immediately felt uncomfortable when wearing them. The earpads were a good shape for the ears but the material was like having 4 bricks cemented around the driver. - Despite what many sources have said, this DOES NOT work with Epos software and DOES NOT HAVE SIDETONE. Also the microphone which I had, did not sound anything like some of the microphones on reviews of this product, which did vary quite drastically video to video. (Post editing most likely) - The connections on this headset are AWFUL quality, I had to unplug and replug the wire upwards of 5 times and spin it in the fixture until finally both earcups engaged and was not missing any frequency. I honestly expected so much better for a headset in this price range from, supposedly, the gaming division of Sennheiser. I have never refunded anything in my life so fast and I really tried to like it to save the hassle of a return, but I simply feel like I have been SCAMMED.

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.

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.

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!

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

For the $80 I paid, I'm blown away. For a while, I've been using the Corsair HS80 to play games with on PC. Those headphones are good, but because I have arthritis in my jaw, if I wear the HS80 for too long, the pressure placed on the jaw joint eventually causes me pain, and it's even worse when I wear glasses. I put up with it for the audio quality and the wireless feature. When I first unpacked the H6Pro, they felt light. Not in a cheap way, I could tell these were built sturdy and well. When I put them on, the comfort was next level from previous experiences. I didn't clamp on my head very tightly, which gave me high hopes for longer gaming sessions. My concern was that I'd be audio quality for comfort, and I'm happy to say my concerns were unwarranted. I'm not an audiophile, but this being my first open back headset I could immediately tell the difference from my closed back HS80. While the sound itself was identical to the HS80, the depth was completely different. In games, I could more easily locate different sounds as it seemed to emulate better, whereas with closed back it sounded like a general direction. It's hard to describe, and something I feel is better experienced. Something to keep in mind, open back headphones means the sound is not isolated, so what you hear is leaking out into your surroundings, and your ears are not isolated from the outside world. This isn't an issue for my living area, but this is something to keep in mind. I also notice that because of this, I don't feel like I am having to raise my voice when talking in game chat or Discord because I can still hear myself well enough. The microphone, from what I've been told, is good but not great. My friends who I usually play with immediately noted that to me that the HS80 had a better microphone, but it isn't too big a deal. Overall, I'm very happy with this headset, and it is easily the best I've ever owned. It has brought my gaming experience to a new level, and I would recommend it to anyone. Especially at its current price of $80.

Salve a tutti, oggi andro' a recensire queste fantastiche cuffie di Epos by Sennheiser. Premetto che io con le orecchie ci lavoro da anni, faccio mastering audio e produzioni, ma non mi reputo un tecnico del suono ma solo un grandissimo appassionato di audio. Nella mia collezione possiedo dei veri e propri mostri sacri, come le AKG702 e molte altre cuffie dal prezzo ben piu' alto di queste Epos H6 Pro. Partiamo dal Packaging: bello da vedere e curato nei minimi dettagli a partire dalla spugna aassorbente che protegge la cuffia. In dotazione troviamo due bei cavi telati, con attacco proprietario da collegare alla cuffia e un classico jack da 3,5 da collegare a qualsiasi dispositivo. Il secondo cavo ha due attacchi singoli da 3,5 mm che divide microfono e audio. Dimenticavo di dirvi che il primo cavo possiede un jack da 3 poli. Entrambi sono placcati oro. Infine troviamo due placchette che permettono di coprire l'attacco magnetico del microfono, perche' si, e' possibile trasformare la cuffia in una classica cosi' da portarla a giro senza il microfono. Direi scelta azzeccatissima. La comodita' e' soggettiva, nel senso che uno come me che ha gli occhiali non avra' di certo la comodita' di uno che non li indossa. Forse l'unica nota negativa e' proprio questa. La cuffia e' costruita in modo da adattarsi a molte teste e orecchie, ma personalmente reputo che stringa veramente troppo, infatti dopo poco piu' di un'ora avverto un fastidio verso l'estremita degli archetti posteriori. Prima di queste Epos H6 Pro avevo acquistato il modello precedente, cioe' le Epos GSP 670 modello CHIUSO. Per chi indossa gli occhiali sa bene che una cuffia a modello chiuso e' un bel grattacapo perche' a causa degli archetti delle lenti il suono tende a uscire e ne inficia tutta la gamma bassa, facendo suonare la cuffia in modo non corretto. Per questo ho scelto le EPOS H6 Pro aperte, e vi assicuro che tutta la gamma bassa suona DIVINAMENTE anche indossando gli occhiali. Ora passiamo alla parte succulenta: la qualita' audio. Faro' uno schema ben diviso dove spieghero' la gamma di frequenze in modo dettagliato. Ho collegato la cuffia a varie schede audio sia da studio che da ascolto da centinaia di euro, ma nfine ho deciso di pilotarla con una bella SoundBlaster GX6 che possiede un doppio dac per canale. Chi gira per i forum sa quanto suona dannatamente bene questo DAC. Per la parte musicale ho deciso di ascoltare alcuni brani tramite Amazon Music HD con la massima qualita' audio possibile cioe' la Ultra HD ma non solo, ho deciso di provarla sul campo della produzione muusicale tramite file WAV. ALTI: La gamma alta suona in modo molto controllato, quasi arretrato. La cuffia ricorda vagamente una Sennheiser serie 500, per l'esattezza una 560S. Gamma alta e' equilibrata quasi scura su tutto lo spettro sonoro. Il dettaglio c'e' ma non e' una cuffia analitica ma MOLTO rilassante. La sento ben suonante con tutti i generi musicali, con un occhio di riguardo al rock/pop. Per me si becca un bel 8.5. MEDI: Non mi permetto di dire che suona male, ma ho notato un arretramento su tutto lo spettro medio. Sia chiaro, sono abiutato a cuffie monitor da studio dove senti ogni difetto possibile, quindi MOLTO probabilmente devo abituarmi a queste EPOS H6 PRO. Gli strumenti nonostante questo arretramento suonano bene, molto ben distanziati tra loro grazie anche al tipo di cuffia cioe' aperta. La gamma media e' molto delicata, raffinata e leggera. Voto 8. BASSI: Adesso veniamo al punto forte. La gamma bassa suona in modo divino, erano anni che non sentivo una cuffia con dei bassi del genere. Non sono bassi tunz tunz che ti sfondano le orechie anzi, sono morbidi e secchi quando vogliono loro. Il suono e' caldo e pieno su tutto lo spettro sonoro. La cuffia vi abbraccia e vi trasporta in un'altra dimensione facendovi rilassare in una maniera incredibile. La timbrica e' quella di Sennheiser e ripeto ancora una volta che suona come una serie 500 a mani basse. Voto 9. PALCOSCENICO: E cosa ve lo dico a fare, lo spettro sonoro e' ENORME. I suoni sembrano provenire dall'esterno e sono tutti e dico TUTTI ben posizionati. Per il gaming sono una manna dal cielo. Per l'ascolto musicale sono spettacolari e le reputo ben adatte all'ascolto di film. Voto 9. MICROFONO: La qualita' del microfono e' discreta, ma niente di eccezionale. La timbrica e' corretta, ma ho notato troppa soppressione. Voto 6.5 CONCLUSIONI FINALI: Sono innamorato di queste EPOS. Sono da sempre un grandissimo amante della serie 500 di Sennheiser, e queste cuffie ne riprendono l'anima sonora. Suono caldo e dalla timbrica rilassante. Per il gaming sono sprecate. Voto 9
