Great review. So looking forward to test the open version. Getting them tomorrow. :)

Thank you very much for sharing your opinion. I really think you are trying to help us decide the best option for everybody. Thanks again!

Subscribed, you are def one of the honest reviewers who get straight to the point! Respect

Thank you for the review. I like your style. I'm getting the H6PRO open, so I'm really looking forward to trying it out.

Thank you bro, you are making exactly the type of comparison I was looking for ❤

Underrated. Honest. Precise. Informative. Subscribed.

Dude, you are an amazing reviewer! You compared these two types of headphones, closed and open, and told the most important things, especially about the echo from the voices of the interlocutors in open headphones. Now I know for sure that I need closed ones. Thank you very much! P.S. Sorry for my english if that))

great review, it helped a lot!

Good day.. New subscriber here from the Philippines.. Thanks for giving us a detailed comparison that answered our questions.. Looking forward to buy the H6pro (open) becuase of this.. Hope to see your channel grows and improved more and more.. You deserve thousands of subscribers.. And just wanna say suggestions that maybe could help to make your video more informative.. Maybe you could put some texts info like pros/cons and the final summary at the last part of the video... Its just a suggesstion as a viewer.. Looking forward to see more.. God bless Sir Troy..

Good thing I ordered the closed version today, I’m heavy on bf2042 right now and will be on mw2 heavy as well, should be coming in tomorrow, great video 👍🏾

are they worth for listeting to music? i fund the audiotechnica a50x very bad!

Great help in making my choice, thank you

Great review! A question first you said you hear footsteps better on the closed one and then you say the imaging on the open-back is "as excellent as it is on the closed-back"? Im a bit confused, which one is the best for hearing footsteps?

hey Troy really well done review! You definitely deserve more views and subs imo. I just got the HD560s but am missing the attached mic I've grown accustomed to over the years, so im considering buying a H6pro instead. I tend to play more single player games (cyberpunk, arkham games, rdr2 f.ex.) but I do still game with friends almost daily so Id love to know your input on which version of the H6pro I should get. I was leaning towards the open version at first because of the amazing sounds im getting from the HD560s but I wouldnt wanna get them if they do end up annoying my friends with the audio bleeding through and going into my mic.

I agree bruh best sounding headset I've ever owned. If you have the open back it's better if you have an amp to go with it, so you can crank up the volume and play with the EQ.

thanks for the great review

I'm looking to upgrade from my HyperX Revolver S, and H6pros seem like prefect ones that I'm willing to try. Tho I'm still little confused since today is first time I ever heard of open and closed back headsets, I never really payed attention to that. From video I get that these are both top notch, but since I'm going to pay quite alot for this headset I just don't want to miss out if open back is better for music since I love listening to music( and yes I do play fps games and little of open games but mostly online shooters such as rust) My question is if you could just help me out with my decision, should I try out open back or just stick with closed back since I've been using one for quite awhile and found sound to be superb( I am talking about Revolver S)

Does the open back version still have the detail of the closed one? I want a headphone to be less fatiguing than the hyper x cloud alpha but with more detail soundstage and still get some bass

Excellent comparison. Thanks! Subd.

nice detailed review .... thanks bro

Hello, i think this review was awesome. Also one of the best if not the best. Also the most detailed one. Anyways i was hoping you could help me decide between h6pro open/closed and the hd560s I live in a rather noisy environment (family) I mostly play valorant and i dont listen to music much. I would also like to know if it has good directional imaging. And thanks again for this detailed, great review. Edit: i currently own the hyperx cloud 2

Mister Great videos 👍🏼 I'm very interested on these but while I'm watching reviews about h6pro I can't stop thinking why they don't designed them with a cap to take out and then make it open back, put that cap on and magically is closed back again on the same headset. Designers need more street men

So I already have a Sennheiser 58X I use in every game. But I thinking of looking for a close back to use for Halo and competitive FPS shooters like war zone etc. If I got the closed version of the h6 pro, do you think I would notice a notable difference in imaging etc?

Hey, I was wondering which one was the best option for me, the h6 pro closed, pc38x or the gsp 600, I want a headset focused on music but also able to be used for gaming. I also want a clear sound, with good bass. Which one is the best for me? And do you have any other recommendations for those preferences?

I am considering buying the open Epos H6pros open for Valorant competitive gaming. But I am not sure if I should get the closed pairs instead. What are your recommendations?

straight forward and very informative video, you definitely come across as a person who knows what he's talking about. i found these (white h6pro closed) on sale on amazon for £68, with the RRP being £150 it seems like a really good deal. would you still recommend i get these in 2024, or are there better ones out there for the current sale price? my use case is mixed, movies/music/gaming, but more so gaming (fps titles like warzone, battlefield, counter strike). also im assuming i dont need a DAC for these? ill be plugging it straight into my motherboard so hopefully they are easy to drive. reason im asking is another reviewer i watched before watching your video commented on these headphones saying without the dac (gsx300) these headphones are not so special and that the hyperx cloud alpha are better. dont know how reliable his opinion is on this matter, and would like to hear your opinion on this too.

Would really like to here your thoughts and comparisons of the h6pro vs the audeze penrose. Hope you get a hold of one of those soon.

Wish I’d watched this last week before I purchased the closed backs :’) definitely would’ve swayed me to the opens. I’m one of those people who aren’t massively fond of the sound of the closed back because of how bright they sound. In your opinion, which do you think would be better for an immersive experience in an open world game: the h6pro opens, the pc38x, or even something else?

Hi troy was looking at both open and close and confused of which to get. Games i play R6, insurgency, squad, hell let loose csgo EFT and a bunch more squad like games coming. which would you recommend?

I'm seriously looking at the H6 Pros, but I don't know whether I should buy the open backs or closed backs. There are so many people on both sides of the fence, it's really hard to know what's right for me. My girlfriend works from home, and often watches Netflix beside me. I don't want to annoy her with my game sounds. My primary concern is how leaky the open backs are. She's also a very light sleeper, and sometimes sleeps on the couch beside me. How noticeable is the sound leak? I mostly play MMORPGs, but I play FPS games quite frequently as well. If I had to choose between which genre I'd prefer an advantage in, I'd choose FPS. MMOs get muted a good portion of the time to listen to music. I usually play at about 80% volume. My current headset (Plantronics Rig 500) has a weird effect where my game volume plays through the mic when it's in the muted position, but my voice doesn't get picked up. I hope I don't come across any issues like that with the H6 Pro.

Looking to buy a headset for my laptop. I generally use it for playing minecraft with my sister so would like the option to connect to and hear the game as well as connect to my phone and hear phone call. I also have young children and would love a headset that has an “ambient sound mode” so that I can hear if they get out of bed/call for me etc. Would like the option to be wireless too but not essential. Think I’d prefer the closed going by your description but does it have an “ambient mode”? Sony inzone H9 have this feature but can’t see a review from you yet? And prefer the look of these :/ (Sorry for the essay just wanting advice)

Hello my friend! Greetings from Mexico!! Your chanel and comparations are amazing I love it! I have the Hyper X Cloud Revolver S since 2018 I buy it cuz I think omg they are so good! But past 4 years I'm not very happy whit they, so I'm gonna upgrade (thx by you) to the H6Pro, just 1 question; What version should i go for? The close or open? I want the best sound the best quality, I play a lot of Open world games like Assassin's Creed and history games like Metro, Tomb rider, Dishonored etc. And also play with friends a lot of FPS like BF5, Fortnite, Apex, Call of duty, and fall guys xD. Thanks bro for being so helpful to the community! And sorry if my English is not too god, I'm trying to be better in the amazing language Saludos!

Hola! Cuál recomiendas para jugar Warzone y escuchar mejor los pasos? Abierto o cerrado?

hey great video, I think it would be great if you could add tags or shortcuts to get to different parts of the video

What do you think about the EPOS H6 PRO for music? Open or closed? I love playing competive shooters but find myself listening to music while studying more often because I don't have time to play games. For context, I mostly listen to rnb. Thanks!!

I have the open back in my opinion the ear pads aren't comfortable enough. So I order DekonI midnight series ear pads. I know it's not I ideal to put leather ear pads on an open back. But wow it's very comfortable to wear and I am enjoying the sound even more.

I'm considering buying the H6Pro but I play alot of Need For Speed and sports games in my situation what would be best for me open or closed? I listen to alot of music also and I'm on PS5. Thank you in advance

Just to reconfirm the confirmed from your side 😅, if I’m playing in a silent place would you prefer the open for the best Audio experience for gaming fps and movies on Xbox series X using Dolby atmos,, or closed is better both silent or mid noise environment.

Funny enough the reason I want open back is for multiplayer. I play games where Im doing character voices and it helps a lot if I have a better ability to hear how Im sounding. But I also use an external mic separate from my headset.

not for gaming, but for teaching students online using skype video calls, occationally music and movie watching, which one is a better choice. currently using a Jabra which is not coving the ears but on ears, not comfortable, feeling the presure force on head as well . thinking about gaming asset might be suitable for teaching as well. what do you think? any better choices? Many thanks

Hello! Is there a high pitched electrical sound in the headphones, when all other sounds are turned off? I now own razer kraken v3, and this sound drives me crazy. So now i’m afraid of buying a new pair of epos headphones and hearing this sound again

are the earcups material the same on both open and close back?

Hey bro, are you using the headset with the ps5 3d option?

Would I need to eq the open back version or are they good out of the box? Using on ps5 for call if duty

If you have to decide between EPOS H6 Closed or Astro A40, which one would you choose?

How is the difference in watching movies? I like my games emersive like an movie. I mostly play storyline games or gta roleplay. But I do love rich and warm sound while listening to music. The problem is I am scared with the open one, outside sounds will be to much and my sounds leak to much and in roleplay the feedback is shitty but on the other hand I really appeal to the open one for music. Now my choice being 50/50 I would love some help and also an depiction of what sounds best with movies where soundranges or the most realworld like. Making the overall difference an choice changer maybe. Thank you for the allready very detailed depiction of both

which one would you recommend for hearing foot steps, closed or open?

Does the GSX 300 work on ps5? and will the sound be better with the GSX 300 connected?

do the closed back get hot in humid weather?

Which do you prefer between the closed and open back? I don’t want too much bass

Yo don't know if you will answer. Between these two what do you think would be better? I play usually singleplayer games and listen to music sometimes. There isn't much noise going in my house aside my PS5 noise but doubt that is loud enough.

Beyerdynamic Dt 770 pro vs Epos H6 pro closed, which one is more suitable for gaming?

I own a closed back but just purchase a open back. Can't wait to try it out. You need a AMP to get the full quality out of these headsets.

Do I need an amp and dac for this heatsets?

Schiit amp/dac or sennheiser gsx for competitive gaming?

At hearing footsteps are better the open that’s the firstly reason of an open headphones, you can hear exactly where the footsteps are going...

hola troy, son en realidad mejores que los hd 560s ??? para fps. quiero ir por los abiertos.

How do the open version of these compare to the pc 38x?

Super review. From my experience with 990, hd560, g Pro X, black shark, 712 , best feeling in FPS game was on open , cos foot steep can adjust on eq but on open headsets almost give me some space how far is , anyway that epos will my next , I hope they make some WiFi version,.

should i get h6pro closed or hd560s which is better in your opinion?

What’s your headset holder/stand?

Thank you.

I want to venture to the open back headphone sound and I want to upgrade from my hyper x cloud alpha

FPS gaming For PS5 Astro a50 or H6pro ? Any info

How is the closed back connexted to ps5 remote. Is it good

Is this headset good for ps5 ? Mostly playing Warzone.

Hi can you hear your own voice during game chat?

Im late but great comparison

I love you, but I don't. haha (did subscribe!). I was looking at HD560S, H6Pro Open and H6Pro Closed. After looking at the video of the HD560S vs H6Pro closed, I was sold to the H6Pro (need a mic), but wanted open to have better imaging... so found this video and now I'm not sure what I want. I play on PC (Star Citizen, RDR2, Borderland, Tarkov, ...) but don't play competitive (I suck at FPS anyway), so I think the Open Back would be better at knowing where the sound come from (even if I don't ear the footstep as good)... but there's the mic probleme. I don't want people to loop their voice into the mic.

The hearing there own voice thing could be fixed with a noise gate but thats pc only

Wait, 751 from coolermaster?

Mate, on the pc you not using the mic attached to the headphones, you get a proper mic

h6pro open is the best gaming headset up into this point

Coming from a guy with a PC 38x if you have a loud ass gaming laptop get a closed back

I got the closed version and returned it the same day. I took it out of the box, put it on and instantly disliked it. I felt very isolated from the outside world it was pretty spooky to be honest. I cant stand not being aware of my surroundings
