Been hoping you’d review these, thanks Techne! Really like them personally, and the giveaway being available to us Canadians is deadly, thanks! Still not sure for open or closed… want to make the switch to open but so hard to know til you try em.

Finally a review that really shows the differences between these two... Thanks Techne

Ive been fairly new to the whole pc gaming thing (got mine 6 months ago) so ive made a lot of decisions from your reviews so I very much appreciate the work you do, and the detachable mic is big

Wow, those definitely demolished my expectations! Those are some really nice headphones. I might just buy a pair for myself sometime...

Thank you for showing the differences (and similarities) in detail, much appreciated. I went with the open version as I use them in a quiet environment - wider soundstage, cooler ears, and at £70 they were a stinkin' steal.

Seems like we have some winners. I really like the volume knob position and mic sounds pretty darn good too

I’ve been watching your reviews. awesome detail video as usual! I’ve never had any Epos headset. Been searching for a headset for months! I love your vid about razer, hyper x, and steel series now I’m going to look into epos.

I ended up with the open back after watching your numerous reviews on it and a bunch of others. I love them, they are the best headset I’ve owned - which isn’t saying much since I used to have a ton of turtle beach in the 360 days, then a hyperx cloudx and then Astro a10.

Love your vids man, your a great reviewer and i look to you for info all the time brother. thanks and keep it up

I always watch your channel for headset reviews and i found it very helpful and informative. Whenever you say its stinking cozy that is the one to buy.

Pretty entertaining watching this, especially a year out, with so many new products out, and so many more reviews having come out since, including yours. I think what you were trying to say about open vs. closed back is the open back are considered to have a wider soundstage, and sometimes more pronounced mids (so you can hear footsteps easier), which appeals to many gamers, lol. I feel like you have really learned a lot in the last year, your reviews just get better and better (I have learned a bunch too, from you and other similar reviewers). I recently picked up the Audeze Maxwell, and your review was one of the ones that helped me with that decision. Even though I have that box checked, I am now sorta hooked on the gaming and audiophile headset hobby, probably will be for a little while. So, while I don't need any more headphones or headsets... I will surely end up with some. Btw, your biggest gripe with these, the price, well they are now down to $120, so if you don't need the latest and greatest, that issue is solved. I am seriously considering picking one up. The Game Zero closed back is now down to a ridiculously low $50 - makes you almost hard not to buy it. Part of the whole youtube-amazon-consumer phenomenon - it's sort of a weird consumer-entertainment dopamine loop that seems to be a thing that has developed and mushroomed. So many video reviews to watch about so many different products - it's better than Netflix. Anyway, I hope you can keep these videos coming, they are really entertaining and informative, you have a great, down-to-earth friendly no-bs style, very refreshing.

Nice video, you are officially now one of my favourite tech KZfaq channels because of how frequently you post, the quality of your reviews and all the giveaways you do. Keep it up! 👍

Thank you for the detailed review. I just ordered a pair of the closed one for myself and I will be taking them out for a spin on Friday :)

I didn’t get the chance to thank you for your stinkin awesome review for the Corsair Virtuoso , it’s exactly what you said , Thank you and keep up the good work 👍🏼

I was wondering when you were gonna get to these. Been hearing a lot about them, and I'm looking forward to your breakdown on closed back vs. open back headphones. The price doesn't bother me too much. Quality comes at a cost.

Thanks for the detailed review techne. I’ve been trying to find a good headset with the right features and these strike a good balance.

Appreciate your reviews. Always check your channel before I buy a new headset 👍

right when i was looking for a new headset, nice timing for this video

I've always loved how you mute the mic on Sennheiser/EPOS headsets... Upgraded to the H6Pro (open) from my 5-year-old Game one headset and I'm very happy indeed... top-quality headset!

Nice to see another give away for Canada lol great vid as always

Keep up the great work techne!! and btw gl to everyone who enters the giveaway ;)

Got the same feeling right there, I think EPOS makes high quality gaming headsets, but with a relatively high price range. Anyways GLHF on CoD Vanguard my man!

watching your reviews is sticking cozy to me

I personally have an open and closed back headphone / headset for gaming being the Corsair HS70SE and Drop x Senheisser Jubilee X58s which offers a variety gaming sounds depending on th3 games I play. Admittedly, I use my Jubilee x58 more often then the HS70SE.

Ooooh, I'm loving the outro nature sounds. I love the sound of frogs croaking in summer.

I love the way you do these giveaways I love your videos as well keep up the good work.

first time here, love your energy and openess

Thank you for a great rewiev, man! For someone who have been wanting a pair of good headphones for mostly music, but gaming and movies as well, is it worth getting epos? I don't understand a lot in how headphones set and work, but I want them to be as close to the original as possible(to be neutral? I guess). So is it hard, or even impossible, to balace them or it is just better to take something "not for gaming"?

I just watch you for your personality because you make me stinkin cozy.

just picked these up today to replace both wired MS stereo headset and steelseries nova 3 wired headset. I’m a console gamer, sitting at a desk with a monitor….hands down, this headset blows both out of the water in all aspects. I agree with the price concern. That said, picked them up from bestbuy on sale for $136. At this price, it’s a no brainer. Such an amazing headset. 👌

I just realised I won a giveaway back in october, but my gmail notifs were off. hopefully I'll keep track next time, the videos are what's most important anyways and I'm glad to be able to watch your videos for free! Edit: I think I know the real reason why, my samsung phone broke around the time I entered and I got a new phone after I had won, but I didn't get the notification as I had just switched devices. I guess that's some unlucky timing! Keep up the good work as always!👍

Techne I love that you don’t script your videos.

you care about the cost. This keeps me watching your videos. Thank you for your hard work. Please be careful on your dirt bike you are not 25 years old!

Sitting on the predecessor several generations back. Sennheiser PC360 G4ME and will probably upgrade to the H6Pro. I love open headsets but I've heard from several ppl that the closed H6P just sound a lot punchier. Probably will go with the closed ones. Thanks for the good review. I like your review style. (:

I alomost bought a pair of Epos thanks for the review your always honest about the products thank you

Your reviews is so informative and helpful , forrreal

Hey man, just dropped a sub because I enjoy your excessive use of stinkin' and the reviews I have had a look at are very informal. Have a question as I am torn between the H6 Pro and the H3 Pro Hybrid's. Which one would you pick? I am due an upgrade from my current Sennheiser Game Zero's which I've had for 3-4 years now and I am looking for something with great audio and mic since I mainly play FPS games like Valorant. The only thing pointing towards the H3 Pro Hybrids is that they are wireless. Other than that I would go with the H6 Pro's any day. Which pair would you pick if you would only use it for your PC?

nice review dude. what do you think about epos gsp 500 ((regarding games sound comparison)) compared to these two newer h6pro headsets?

i'm happy that you compared the sound to the 99 Neos, mainly because i have the meze's haha, they are by far my favorite headphones, so good

I hope the quiz is on open or closed back xD Great video Techne

Love the review man. I'm deffinetly a open back kind of guy.

Great review man !!!! Should you buy the EPOS H60 pro or the CORSAIR HS80 RGB ? Stuck on which one to get ?? Thanks yeah Michael Thompson no giveaways for us down in Australia

I am looking at gaming headset specifically for Sim racing (iRacing, ACC, R3E). I think EPOS H6 Pro Open-back will fit me pretty well because the audio is usually pretty loud so i think the open-back will give the sound that breathy airiness that is needed.

Thank you so much, it it wasnt for you I wouldn't have picked these amazing headphones up

Man gotta say, love your videos, so much energy! Ended up buying the h6 closed and just wooow, such sound its amazing, and i went from the M50x and i can really tell the diffrence! Just wanna say, keep it up // love from sweden!

Great review! In my opinion, the razer blackshark v2 x is a really good headset for its price

Thank you for review. When you compare H6pro with PC38x, which one is better??

These headphones are looking great. Great vid

Ive memorized most of your speeches during watching your well judged and honest videos.. ask me anything and I’ll shock you how much I’ve learned from your channel.. I’ll be so honored winning a headset but am not so lucky.. getting a pair from techno is just not believable its a pleasure and the main value of the headset..

The mic sounds really good with those. 180 is a bit but I dunno man. Some really cool features with that!

Nice review! These are good looking headsets!

have the open set coming. can't wait!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the review, I have a question between two choices. I game a lot but i also spend a lot of time on youtube and listening to music when im not gaming, even more so than gaming usually so would these be better than say a blackshark v2? If not would you recommend an alternative that leans more towards sound for everything else more so than just gaming? Thanks!

It would be awesome to have international giveaway. Btw really love your work man ! Coming from France. I'm playing with my sennheiser p350se and this one may be replaced it

I do have a quick question, and your opinion would you suggest the hs80 or the h6 pro closed back. The one thing that I have to take into account is that I do have a large head and I did see your review on the hs80 with potential fitting issues with larger heads which I have... I also do not have a dac, but may pick up one depending on which one I buy. @The techne

Great video. How does the closed back H6Pro compare to Audeze Penrose ? (audio quality) A versus match would be interesting :-)

Don't suppose you'll eventually do a equalizer guide on the Epos headsets eventually? Or if anyone out there has a good suggestion on settings.

How does the close back compare to the Corsair HS80?? I'm torn between the two!

Another great Techne collab giveaway I can’t get here in Australia 🤯😢😭

Hey, send open back to Brazil. Nice review as always man, thanks!

Great review! Thanks

Great videos man, Been going back and forward with getting a new headset for my PS5…got close with the HS80s but haven’t purchased just yet! Best wired/wireless for £100 - £150?

Nice! Whens the H3pro Hybrid coming?

I really wish you had swapped the pads and retest the open back to see if that improved the sound but still giving you the soundstage over the closed back

Bought me and my sister these and we love them ❤

Thanks for another great video.

Picked these up. They’re incredible. They’re on sale right now in Australia for $100 off at JB Hifi, the price is $159 AUD, $110 USD.

Techne! You've got me doing research on these now that I watched your video today detailing the VZR Model One. (My Question) *Can you get Wicked Cushions Freeze gel earpads for these?? And if so, do you think they'd affect the sound too much?* Love your videos man! -Thanks!!

My Cap is Sound quality and functionality, if they’re comfortable, not to heavy and not too light. Simple and has a good mic(if it comes with one) then I’m all for it. I don’t really care about looks when it comes to gaming headsets.

i bought the openbacks with the gsx 300 thingy. I plugged em in on my soundblaster x ae5 and then o my god! These things are amaaaaaazing! and they go REALLY loud! in the soundcard. With the gsx 300 its a little more tempered but either way, i love em!

Do the closed backs sound good plugged directly into PC? Without using any external DAC/AMPs?

Dumb question sorry but for the best sound stage for gaming these or the blackshark v2 pro

super happy with my EPOS H3s. Cant imagine how good these must be!

Hi Techne. I bought the open back version and very unhappy with the sound. Not sure if my pair are giving the right sound. It sounds very hollow. I don’t have any other open backs to compare but I know I enjoy my new HS 65 sound and Blacksharks. The Epps sound way off compared to those. Playing battlefield 2042 sounds horrible. Do you think mine may be defective.

The Master Chief Green ones are on sale at Best Buy for $99. After seeing this, Im def gonna go pick them up.

Hey Techne, how was the camping trip? I started playing Battlefield 2042 this past weekend, and I'm hooked

Is there a way to balance the sound coming from the game versus the voice chat of your playing partners (where you can make one louder/quieter than the other)?

it's a stinkin good review 👍

Which one should i buy, the open version or the close version?

Great review. I picked up the open and closed to compare. The open back was a clear winner for me while playing Starfield on Series X, so I returned the closed. The open is plenty loud enough for me on Xbox, and the lows, mids, and highs are all amazing…it feels like I’m in the environment. Even though I had a closed back before these, the H6 closed back sound felt too claustrophobic, like people yelling at me in a chamber, but I can understand why people would want them for a FPS.

Want to buy a new headset and still cannot decide which one. Have an Xbox and have no big problems with the budget. Almost decided to get the Astro A50. What you suggest ?

I stinkin love ya man, I really stinkin love my arctis pros too!!

are you doing a review on the ducky one 3 when it comes out?? and im also hooked on forza horizon 5, mexico is great to drive in with many diverse biomes.

So is the Epos H3 hybrids really that bad @The Techne?

heyyy... I just bought this H6pro closed.... really awesome..... only downside... its cable a little too short.. just ordered extension cable for it

Is the mic too sensitive? As I have seen this is a concern in other reviews

Should I go for it (I'll use it mainly for gaming) or just stick with a hyperx cloud or a steelseries arctis/ logitech g pro x / razer blackshark v2 ?

If we compare this Headset with the MM150? Which one could be the better?

This is my first time hearing this brand of headsets, but headset looks very nice thou!!!

If I have the ATH M50X and the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro for gaming, is it worth buying the Epos H6 Pro?

How long is the mic cable?

I really love EPOS especially the H3 Hybrid sadly I don't have enough funds yet to buy one. I hope I get lucky on the Giveaway!

These sound incredible.

I have the h6pro open and love it

Arctis pro wired without gamedac or this headset? Which is better?

These have a $199 bundle that comes with a sound card now and wondering if you think that would be worth it?

techne do u put on a cap bcoz you like it or any other reason? cz i loved to see u in that first few secs without the cap...u look better like that IMO no pressure just telling my opinion

Hey! I ordered the H6pro closed back yesterday. Is it necessary to buy an amp aswell if you want even better sound? I was thinking about getting the GSX 300 to go with them but I’m honestly not sure, what are your thoughts?

If the ear cups are removable, could you purchase the opposite ear cup. So if you have closed could you not just buy the open ear cup and change them out depending on the game you want to play?

Have u tried on ps5. Whats ya thought. So far. Out to date. Whats the best headphone below 300$ wired and wireless. And with mic. Hows h6 closed. Still worth till this day?
