awesome! So glad I was able to help

Any issues arise when using the mic to chat in discord etc while gaming with there being no mic monitoring? Just curious, thanks!

This is so true. A new headsets easily been the hardest thing for me to find because the comments are just so mixed

Dude the headset was released in October of 2020 we are ten months away for them to be 2 years old

Yeah typo i mean one year.

I was deciding between the too, ended up with the h6pro open back too and absolutely love it, great sound, light, comfortable, awesome mic

Nice!

Those are exactly what I have. What are you using to EQ the bass on the HD599s? I've been using the Soundblaster G6 which works on my PC and will save my EQ so I can use it on my PS5

@@chrisvillan88 I have the Dolby atmos app on Series X. :)

@@memorycard1000 is there any difference between cloud core vs cloud 2 vs cloud alpha ?

cover that in the video

Agreed. I wish he had compared open back to open back. I would love to subscribe to his channel, however; his blatant inconsistencies agitate me more than anything. What should have been done is a comparison of the 38x to the open back h6pros (which he has - he already reviewed those) and then added upon comments with the closed backs. Instead we got the opposite. It's just a little annoying with this reviewer at times. Too many oversights video to video.

H6pro open back is completely different foam than the closed back. The open back is VERY hard compared to the closed back H6Pro.

@@lostpacket no it isn't...I've had many headsets, I have the open back h6pro and it is so light and comfortable that even my friends bought one

@@TheTechne The sound of two openbacks would have a more apple's to apples comparison

Same boat. i want to get rid of my Clourd Orbit S as it has software issues, it is a shame because it would be a great piece otherwise. Also looking at artics pro wifi and these sennheisers plus gsp600/670.i kind of wanna stick with a (truly working) 7.1 set. i only do Simracing and music really.

.Virtuso and mmx 150 both have earpas comfort issues .artics pro needs a refresh with a better mic

What if you didn’t have a amp? I don’t wanna get into it that much

MMX 300 Gen 2. One of the best closed back headsets.

The virtuoso is very nice, but over time, little bugs start happening like audio fading in and out. mine are at a point where once the bass gets any louder than footsteps, it fully distorts. But mine have been mildly abused over the year 1/2 to 2 years. Could just be a small group that has these issues because I've never heard of these issues, but just to keep an eye out

Are you still enjoying this headset? I have a pair of shp9500s that I have enjoyed, but I feel like I am missing out on some audio cues and am looking for a potential other set

I ordered the Drop Epos PC38X to replace my amazingly comfortable HyperX Cloud II (mic does suck), so hopefully the PC38X will be half as comfortable as my HyperX. I am so worried about the clamping pressure since Epos Sennheiser like their headphones to clamp aggressively (my Drop HD6XX are almost too tight).

do u use a dac for them ??

@@fayezelomari I’m on console, so no. When I get a pc I will for sure use a dac

@@cac2244 are they comfy?

Using the PC38X for a game with s*** audio should be a crime

@@travisr1324 You're not wrong

Did you ever get the H6pro? if so, how did the comparison go?

@@chris_007 I actually did end up picking up the H6pro during Prime Days and have been using it for a bit. It's very comfortable, has a nice build quality and the sound is good, but the lack of sidetone I haven't adjusted to yet. I have it plugged into a GSX 1000 which does have a setting for sidetone but it hasn't helped. Overall though, I recommend it.

@@rorytaylor626 is the sound quality a lot better than pc38x or around the same?

How would you compare the pc38x with the Astro A50 Wireless?

@@FahimAhmed-xj9lq I’ve never used the A50’s but wireless would be nice. The a40s are definitely more comfortable then the pc38x, they squeeze my head pretty hard

Does the pc38x have a 4 pole trrs connect on the PC side of the cable?

@@phatcockbrand6160 the end that plugs into the mix amp also plugs into a ps5 controller like a typical auxiliary cable so I think so.

@@FahimAhmed-xj9lq Astro just doesnt sound natural compared to the Drops

thank you so much

@@TheTechne 💀

Exactly what I do with my sennheiser 599 for singleplayer games. 👍

true, but that wouldn't be a fair comparison for comparison for a product

@@TheTechne Yes agree out of the box yours as a very fair comparison

For single campaign games, I switch out the mesh pads for the valor pads for low end bass, and apply neutral sound settings providing a more emersive gameplay. For FPS, I switch to the mesh with boosted high settings for competitive gameplay

Do you use the Realtek audio manager to do this ?

Right, EPOS closing shop. Get 'em while they're hot! LOL

agreed. i have the pc38x and love them.

agree, but it can be better plastics, kinda like what logitech did

@@TheTechne agreed. The lightness is great but they feel so cheap. I don’t feel like it’s a premium product.

Did you give them a try? what do you think?

@@foxrootking5077 I did and sent them back. I found the headband to be quite uncomfortable for me. I might be more sensitive to clamp, but right now I use the HD58x Jubilee.

I have gone for DT 900 Pro X. You need to buy a mic separately tho but a cheap mod mic may do the job (if you play on PC). Look at, I believe, fresh reviews review on them. He seems like a straight forward guy and goes on to say really good things about the imaging of them. He also reviews the pc38x, which I was thinking about picking up, but after seeing both those reviews, I could tell which was better. Your choice at the end of the day, don't know anything about the Penrose so can't help there.

H6Pro👍

a great headphones there, a bit high in the highs for me, you gotta try the 700/900 pro x

@SerFezz I was trying to choose between the 560s and the 900 pro x. Went with pro x because don’t need and dac and ended buying a dac anyways lol

@@TheTechne after having he 900 pro x I feel that I don’t hear much outside noise at all like most open backs they seem to be like half way closed back to me. But nothing has gave me the gaming experience like these.

How'd you like the EPOS H6 PRO?

@@jimkillerx I bought the Open Back version of the EPOS H6 Pro. While it's a Good headset, I need something with a Higher impedence since my AMP/DAC combo is too powerful for this unit, but set aside power, these sound great. Accurate bass and have a Natural Sidetone (Micmonitoring) due to being open back. I would definitely recommend them for anyone trying to enjoy Competitive shooters of any sorts, since they're precise. They're just not for me, I need to upgrade to a bulkier setup with XLR mics and such sooooo God Bless my wallet

@@admirkaralic7209 Jebiga. I just got the closed version of the EPOS H6 Pro. The closed-back ear cups is suffocating my ears to the point where it’s rather uncomfortable every time I put them on, at least for the first 15 minutes. And it feels extremely weird talking while having the headset on too - it’s not something I’m used to as I’ve always previously used ’open’ version headset as opposed to closed off ones. Other than that, the sound quality is pretty neat when it comes to video games and watching videos.. but for music, not so much.

@@admirkaralic7209 I got a Shure SM7B and it’s a great quality microphone. It is quite costly as you’d have to buy something like focusrite scarlett 2i2 and a cloudlifter, and of course the mic itself - probably runs you up to $800. You can go for the MV7 too as it is USB and XLR compatible and use can be very practical.

@davide pannone I also have big ears but my right ear can never sit comfy, any tips for me?

as an sennheiser owner, I'm sure the plastic will be good quality. I've the pc363d myself for 9 years now and it's still the same as when i bought it, even with only plastic.

@@olafduynstee7947 Same here. Mine has 8 years.

Have you tried PC38X with PS5 controller?

Have you had the chance to try PC38X with PS5 controller?

How you liking the h6pro headset??? Mine will be here tomorrow

@@eddie9163 so how you like them so far? :)

@@duylegend1245 I actually do like them!! Not complaining at all, I use them w my ps5

@@eddie9163 wonderful news thank you, bought them too

I own the pc38x, HD58x, and hd560s. My experience, the pc38x is slightly more accurate in sound direction compared to the HD58x. In addition, you still need to purchase a separate mod mic for the HD58x. Further more, the pc38x goes on sell for $129 every so often. Now, with the hd560s, this spanks the hell out of both of these in accurate imaging sound detection, especially with stacking, hearing the accurate details in sound coming from above or below you.

@@808jspekeg6 Thanks for the information, it is very helpful. My friend is actually looking to get the HD560s I will tell him it is a good choice. The biggest reason I like the HD58x over the PC38x is comfort. You are also right about the mic but since I rarely use one it was not really a consideration when buying a headset. Also, and this is just personal taste, but I hate how an attached mic looks on a headset. Thanks again for the comment it is very helpful for someone so new to audio.

Should have waited for a sale, i got mine $125 new on ebay.

check out the audeze maxwell kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbGEp6iaqJO-cXk.html

Viktor, I have the Drop HD6XX and the clamping force of those is pretty aggressive (i have a medium to small head) and for music, i find that my HD6XX are fairly dull, not bright and punchy as i would prefer...I get much better results with much cheaper AKG K240 and even with my HyperX Cloud II believe it or not. Timing is good to read your comment as I precisely tested them and also my wired Sennheiser Momentum (that I love) today by listening to Reggaeton (Bad Bunny baby), classical (Vivaldi 4 seasons L"Estate Summer III Presto (oouuuff max volume)), EDM (Darude Sandstorm), classic rock, etc... either on SMSL DAC or my standard Onkyo amp (via Digital output) and the Sennheiser H6XX did not come up as winner... Sound, like beauty is mainly a question of personal preference. Hope this helps.

Don't they have a two year warranty?

Are ssying the technicas are the best or the epos? Im confused.

@@theloudmime6992 technicas for sure

@@theloudmime6992 also after owning these for 3 months now, they are completely broke in. The sound is even more amazing

The cloud II is a budget entry headset. I've had them and they sound awful compared to any headset over 120D

H6 Pro...is a good buy. To me, even though it's pricey, under 200usd but the headphone is worthy to have that kind of price tag.

It’s trash

I was thinking on this today.

thank you

Brah, you must be late to the party. The audeze Penrose is an open back planar headset. My opinion, these are thee best sounding "gaming headset" that exist.

Am I crazy or are the Penrose actually closed back

@@MaxwellDog1 it’s closed.. I have them. You can not hear anyone or anything with them on even if someone is right next to you

Good question ! Did you happen to get amp?

@@Edwardx703 Not yet but I plan to.

@@YoungWise2011 keep me updated bro

gsx1200

UPDATE: I returned the open back H6PRO and bought Closed back. I can confirm that it is cool for games only if 1/ change the stock pads with the dekoni leather one and 2/ activate spatial audio Doulby Atmos for headphones Dont buy X2 ... I have it and I will sell it now after I have TYGR 300R it is much better. I bought h6pro open but return it for the same reason as you. In CSGO with H6Pro Open I need to turn volume up to hear the foot steps but If I do it and then shoot with AWP or deagle near some windows ... my ears hurt .. next day my ears was bad. I also have HD598 and again this not even close... For FPS however it has the best imaging and I am thinking of buying PC38X or H6Pro closed in hope that mine was some kind of deffective and it will sound better...

@@andreydoichinov1683 you should try getting an external dac your motherboard or laptop probably doesnt supply enough power

@@hudzaifi Thanks but I have DACs. It is just a poor headphones... Beyer TYGR is much better. and also denon ah d7200 ... I am waiting to receive HarmonicDyne Zeus and I think this will be my main :)

@@andreydoichinov1683I just purchased h6pro open and I’m disappointed with the way they sound. I own sennheiser game one and blackshark v2. Both of them are better sounding headphones then EPOS h6pro. Open version just sounds very muddy and bloated. Is it worth trying closed back? Are they any better? Thanks

@@Max44611 My main headphones are turtle beach Stealth 700 gen 2 max. If you try them you will no longer search for headphones. :) ( and I have 12+ now and tried many expensive )
