Right ! That’s why I got them 😭

Color scheme made me think of Aston Martin but yeah I can see the MC take as well

This is a darker green.

Well it reminds me of ducks

I was thinking about doing this exact thing. Do the closed ear pads change the sound on the open back headset at all? Can you still hear yourself and your surroundings well?

@@Juice_VI I only used the old ear pads for a few weeks so I didn't experience much of a change when I changed to the closed back pads. And yes, can still hear my surroundings as well as before.

Where'd you buy the replacement ear pads?

@@timnguyen4211 from the EPOS website directly. Took maybe 1-2 weeks to arrive once ordered

@@thecageybee Ah thanks.

how well does it compare the the arctis pro?

​@@yarmgl1613 Well I gotta say the sound quality on the Artcis was slightly better, and the wireless feature of the Arctis were awesome, great connectivity, even over longer distances, never had any issues. Arctis also had more of a "premium" feel to them. And the feature of being recognized as two separate outputs where you could have discord/music playing through one and a game through the other was interesting but I never really used it. I have only used my Arctis with my PC but it could be a big deal being able to connect it to two different devices (for example a phone for communication and the game on your console at the same time) That being said, I love the H6Pro's simplicity, they just get the job done, they are lighter and have a bigger ear cup which I appreciate, no discomfort while wearing glasses whatsoever even over long periods. So I prefer them in terms of comfort. If I had to choose between the two I would personally go for H6Pros. Trying out the Arctis was great, but the docking station (which was fun at first) just kind of takes up space on the desk. and I find out that I really don't need all those extra features of the Arctis which were a bit of an overkill for me, and I can live without the wireless connection. And in terms of the sound quality, the Arctis may be slightly better, but I have never felt like I'm missing out, the H6pros still provide a great sound in movies, music and gaming and for a lower price. I enjoy their easy plug-in and play character which is all I really look for in a headset these days.

@@aleksei8884 thanks for the mini review :p

Isn't the SXFI output USB? Or do you mean you plugged it in via aux on the front and turned on SXFI. Would love to know as I own a Katama V2 and am looking forward to buying an H6 pro

And headphone can be usbed lol 😂😂😂​@@ErmirsArt

mine isnt working so well no matter where or how i plug it in the right ear only works and is very quiet and i downloaded the software and it says i have no devices

Your device might be faulty. If you bought it recently you should return or replace it@@danielsarchive0

Might be that because you have a weak output, you should give it a try with a DAC.

@@danielsarchive0im having this exact same problem

@@d1dici i got bad news for u i never found out how to fix it and had to buy a new headset, i now have the steel series arctis 7 plus pro or smt i forgot the name

Why ? Whats the explanation ? I see most comments say that but most reviews say buy the cloae for ummersion

Same

damn are they this good? I play CS:GO and need a good headset for footsteps

​@@santeenlgreat headset, not the greatest for footsteps. Sennheiser game zero and cooler master mh751/2 are better if all you want is footstep audio

@@Assaultpr0 Already bought it, it's decent :) Game Zero is downgrades all over.

@@santeenl how are those H6Pro's for you? At the moment, I am looking for a headphones/headset for my music and, sometimes, gaming needs. Can you please share your experience with music and gaming? Thanks in advance:)

@@santeenlI just got them. I feel they are that good. I’ll tell you this, they blow the steelseries nova 3, 7, and 9s out of the water in every single way, at least in terms of audio, mic, and mic monitoring.

Open back do spill sound out so if you're in a quiet office the closed back would be preferable.

I don't think the arm will break. If anything, I'd be more concerned about the joints that the arm slots into. In my experience, joints are usually the thing to break in headsets.

Which one do you recommend between the pc38x and the h6pro? Looking to get either one these for black Friday.

@@boogie4195 PC38X no question. I'll copy paste a longer comment I posted elsewhere: I had a set of Astros that broke and was in the market for another set of gaming headphones. I picked up the Drop+EPOS PC38X and then got a pair of these to compare to them. the H6Pro doesn't hold a candle to the PC38X in terms of detail and accuracy. Seems like the soundstage is much less wide, while it has more bass it is often muddier depending on what you're listening to. If you listen to music at all it's a complete no brainer toward the PC38X. I will say though that the H6Pro really has a quite premium feel to it from a build standpoint vs the more studio/professional grade feel of the Drop set. So credit where it's due. The H6Pro also might be the most comfortable headset I've ever tried on. Those huge, deep, ear shaped cups are just so great. But it seems I'm a velour or nothing guy because even the cloth on the H6Pro heated up for me too much after a while. The clamping force is much less than the PC38X as well. I feel like my ears just barely fit within the cups on the PC38X (and I don't even have large ears). I honestly wish I could just have H6Pro headphones (but with velour cups) that sound like the PC38X do because it might be the best of both worlds. If you are buying headphones that will be for gaming, watching movies, listening to music, etc. as an all-in-one for your device, I'd say it's not even close and the PC38X blows the H6Pro away. But audio is also a very subjective thing which is why people audition loudspeakers. All of our ears and brains are different. Bottom line is that save for very specific audio that you want to be very bass focused, there are better options out there for your money. To me it seems like the money went into design here with the sound lacking whereas that PC38X the money went into the sound and the design is very utilitarian as a result. So pick your priority.

@@TheBucketOfTruth Thank you for your input, my main concern about the PC38X is one, the availability (Can't get it in stores in my country) and the comfortability. But I heard nothing but good from the H6PRO open-back.

@@boogie4195 Can you get it from Amazon? The black one is $139 right now from them or Drop. The Yellow one is $119 on Drop's site, though it's a bit uglier. I will say the H6Pro is gorgeous but like I said, the sound is much more important for me than the look. The PC38X may be less comfortable depending on your needs. I like the velour as mesh and fake leather get way too hot on my ears. The cups on the H6 are nicer though like I mentioned. The PC38X has a bit more clamping force I think, but I've been told that you can get that to mellow out by putting it on a headphone stand or yoga block or something for a while. It isn't enough to bother me over multiple hour gaming sessions.

@@TheBucketOfTruth I don't know. Is drop based in US, with US pricing? Cause my budget is 200 AUD, there's not much of a discount for the PC38X cause I have to pay tax. I can get the EPOS H6PRO for 179 AUD or 120 US.

I too would love to know this!

LoadedPanic782 Have you made an decision yet?

@@nicok. Sorry for the late reply but I went with the HS80 to experience the wireless headset world since my past headsets had been wired.

@@Velocity3 Good point. However, I'm still getting the Corsair HS80 is because it is my first WIRELESS headset that I'm trying. If it doesn't work out for me then I'll go for the H6Pro. Thanks for the response.

@@Gr4v3Kn1ght I bought the HS80 3 days ago and returning it. It’s a great wireless headphone but it just doesn’t give me the feeling that a wired headset would give. Idk if it’s because I was so used to how good the Astro 40s with the amps were but too much back ground noises come for the Corsair. Great microphone though. I’ll be buying the closed H6 pro and trying them out

thanks, Josh!

Hi, I can't really say for certain but if you have a really good motherboard that has a good audio chip you shouldn't need to worry. I have a Asus B550 motherboard and have no issues with needing a Amp or Dac. Maybe if you're not happy with the sound or want a little bit more then maybe try one. Don't get one for the sake of it.

@@sullenova Thanks a lot for the reply, and the solid advice, it’s arriving tomorrow so I’ll see what I think of it. I’m pretty sure that a amp shouldn’t be needed since my motherboard is only 2 years old. But I’ll try it out tomorrow! Do you have this headset yourself? If yes, do you have the open or closed version? And what do you think of it? :)

I don’t have one but I’ve got a HyperX cloud 2 headset and wondered the same thing a while back.

@@sullenova I see I see, I have a cloud 2 right now, but after 5 years it’s time for a replacement ;P I’m not still sure if I want to go for the hyperx cloud alpha S or this headset, the H6

@@linusdanielsson5448 Hi what did you get? I had the cloud 2 and the cloud alpha (the one before the S version launch) while cloud 2 is comfortable and durable I can not say the same about the same about the alphas. I would not recommend to go with the alphas at all. I had also a PC37x which is good but I would liko to try the H6pro open.

I am still thinking about which one to get for my Xbox Series X. I am still between the open or closed version. How is the sound volume for you on the open back? Is it loud enough? Which games did you play with it and how was your impression?

@@ThaMobstarr sound is good, I play warzone a lot, I've got Dolby Atmos turned on, with the performance setting and I can easily hear where people are. The volume is fine, I cant play at full volume as it's too loud for me. I'd say I'm at full volume on the console, and the headset I'm at about 3/4.

@stickygecko does the mic pick up breathing or background noise very easily? I have this problem with the px38x

@@jfigs2859 I don't think so, there's a review on KZfaq where a guy does mic checks with things on in the background. My old mic/ headset picked everything up, but no one complained about back ground noise with this. I'll find the video

@@ThaMobstarr im debating the same thing! I don't know which version to get. I play on pc

I got the open backs and they’re amazing no regrets

@@techp0p in games, the sound has changed a lot compared to closed or not. I’m thinking about buying such headphones, but I’m playing again in fps games like valorant, pubg and at first I thought about buying a closure, but they write that in closed ones the sound is worse compared to open ones and now I don’t know what to take when I play only fps games and sometimes I listen to music

@@bonater8815 Do you have a way to try both? If yes, I would advise doing that - I personally found the open backs better though

@@bonater8815 look into Arctis, if they are not to your taste.

That's one thing I'm considering, love the sound detail of my gsp500's but after a few hours use the headband does get uncomfortable. If the h6 are the same drivers I will definitely consider the change purely for the comfort factor. BUT, I have noted the sound range for the h6's is less than gsp's. I don't know how this would affect audio quality. It could be a downgrade, I just don't know. If anyone else has any experience with both headsets then please do share.

Get the PC38X. Same drivers as the GSP500 but far more comfortable

I had the GSP670 and they were terrible. Too bulky, too top heavy and super uncomfortable for me. They actually broke less than a year of ownership and I returned them for something else (two year warranty). They sounded fine and mic was good but heaps of interference and cut outs. Haven’t tried these h6 pro’s but I reckon they’d be good

I went a very different route, bit the bullet and bought a pair of Beyerdynamic tygr's and fitted a modmic. Best headset I've ever owned or heard hands down.

its the power output thats the problem, plug into a desktop or a headphone amp

Theyre almost identical in audio characteristics, to the point one over the other is going to make zero difference in any game. Just pick the one most comfortabe / looks nicest if thats your two options youre choosing between

​@@PantsaBear Not at all what all the reviews say about the two that's out now. Hd6pro better for footsteps and fps games. Pc38x better for open world games or a more naturally tuned experience.

The Game One is an open back headset and this is a closed back headset. A better comparison would be the Game Zero, which is the same as Game One, but closed back.

Great point. The cable is shorter than most. Not a problem for my current setup but when I upgrade my home office,I'll have to get an extension as well

I'm on the razor Blackhawk v2 pros just want to pair with mix amp but can't with the wireless version

They’re going to be at my desk for the foreseeable future!

@@9to5toys Can you do you top three headset under 200$ or something similar. You review alot of amazing headsets I would love your personal take on how you would rank them

Do you use a mix amp with these ?

Which ones did you get? Open or closed?

I am 2 years late.. but open is more comfortable

A lot of manufacturers are moving away from the super wide frequency resonse measurement as it doesn't really shows anything about sound quality as long as the frequency is a better range than human hearing. Human hearing is typically 20 - 20.000 Hz. (Most adults cant hear higher than 17kHz), so the question is.. Sound quality should instead be measured in how well it plays in the frequency range. Its "great" to see a lot of manufacturers making headsets that go up to 40.000 Hz... I am sure bats and dolphins will be super happy about their hearing being supported. :D

Driver size is 42mm

how did you configure it cause in the epos app it doesnt show up

@@vicentelopes4674 What is not showing up?

The headset is using your pc audio in addition? How is that possible tho? Look into your sound configuration and discord configuration

Your mic sensitivity is too high, not using using laptop audio and the headset at the same time.

@@NyteStalker89 it was a very strange issue, even when I flipped up the mic to mute those who I am talking to could still hear my computer audio as if I was sharing it. I verified trying to talk while it was supposedly muted but they could not hear me... The problem spontaneously fixed though, so that was nice.

Oh man... this issue is so widespread still? I remember once getting a Sennheiser gaming headset back in the day and it bled through as well. Now I also have experience with the HyperX Cloud Alpha, ALSO having this bleed through issue... It's definitely faulty and needs replacement. Something's wrong with the wire/connector that causes this issue.

man...i rly hate mic leak

No. The HD6 Pros are not voiced for monitoring, mixing, or music. They barely cut it for gaming due to the cartoonish bass handling and lack of upper mid and high frequency detail. Dt990Pro's are good but they are overkill and require a very expensive amp to do their best work.

Did you buy the open or closed back because I'm thinking of getting the same setup.

@@slimbo689 open back.

jusr tapes the holes on your open back problem solves

Did you ever figure that out?

Ive used the gsp600 for a Few years pretty happy but now im getting the h6pro (its newer a'd better i think) i have the headphones in 3 days

Same queastion. I have my G4ME ONE boulght in 2014 and they are still doing well, just want something new )))

@@lserezhkin Daamn and they are still holding up from 2014?? I think I had like 5 headsets in that timeframe because they all broke.

@@ThaMobstarr hmm.. I had to fix the volume knob on the right ear cup once, and replaced the cable 4-5 times. That's basically it, nothing happened to the sound and mic quality.

I have the same question. I love my game ones, but the mic on mine finally kicked the bucket and my volume knob broke so its starting to look a bit rough lol

just get out of the water

Idk much ab any of this, but I've seen a lot of people say the epos and the pc38x are about the same headset, something about they use the same driver or something.

So Arctis is not good at competitive FPS?

most people say they’re one of the best if not the best for PlayStation and I just did not find that to be the case. I had the Arctis Nova 7P, and I struggled terribly in Warzone, but when I plugged in my old ass wired HyperX clouds I instantly had better awareness, and I played better. I found myself using this cheap wired headset over the $180 wireless Nova’s. That’s my experience, yours might be different, I wanted to like them they just didn’t perform for me. They look cool, they’re comfortable, the wireless works great, they probably have better media performance like with music and movies, but in game they were not good to me, my old PS4 cheap headset was better, I consistently played better with them.

@@ChrisDavis333 Thx

Hope you returned. Best buys return policy is pretty easy going

@@AntonioMartinez-ic5xj I agree which is why I try to buy all my gear from them, to support them. I ended up getting a Logitech G Pro X Superlight mouse instead lol.....I'm now a wireless mouse convert.

The H6pro has very poor quality sound - especially if you have experienced products like the DT1770 Pro. Listening to music on the H6pro is not good as the cartoonish bass bleeds through the entire mix - sounding like a speaker with a blanket or rug thrown over it. if you like lots of compression and slow flabby bass though you might like them - but I can't imagine anyone who owns DT1770 Pro's being in that camp.

@@tdunster2011Recently put a nice stereo in my car that puts this headset to shame, oh wait what? That isn't relevant? I thought we were just saying irrelevant BS nobody asked about. It's almost like it's a gaming headset which the one you mention is not, hence having more bass. Also, almost like the one you mentioned is nearly 3x the price of these. I hate people that gatekeep products of all things, let alone ones from an entirely different market. What a clown.

When considering a headset in this price range, it's typically based on the sound and build quality rather than connectivity. These most likely have a better microphone and driver quality than wireless headset in the same price range.

@@phlask1 yes, but when comparing to other wired headsets I’m not sure if the $180 price tag is justified. Maybe $130 instead

It's a bit much, wired or not. Let's hope for a black Friday discount :)

Gsx is known for no volume get a g6 like a real man

Have you found a workaround? I've heard others say there are 3rd party cable replacements available but I haven't found any

try rolled the cable in your D

Open will have a wider soundstage, and produces a more natural sound. However the closed is more precise and more in your face.
