I really hope it works out for you. I’ve fallen in love with the H6PRO, I hope it has the same effect on you.
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'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.

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.
@verrat321913 сағат бұрын
Whoever said that doesn’t know what the hell they’re talking about. The H6PRO is the best all-round gaming headset I’ve seen, and is the perfect choice for you. You don’t need an amp for it l, because it has low impedance and high sensitivity. On my PS5, I plug it straight into my controller. On PC, if you’re using your motherboard’s built in amp then you should have no problems, unless you have a shitty motherboard amp. The GSX1000 and 1200 are low powered and out of date - don’t use them. If you feel you need to buy an amp then go with the Fiio K11. It has 1400mW of goodness. :). Go with the H6PRO (closed) and don’t look back.

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)
@keepsakes-by-kim7897 Жыл бұрын
If your laptop is a Mac then I highly recommend the Apple AirPods Max. It has everything you need. If you’re on PC then you’ll have to do some research, because I don’t know of a headset that matches all your criteria. The H9 Inzone has a crappy mic, so if you don’t mind that then I guess you could go with that. I don’t think the EPOS H3PRO Hybrid has an ambient mode, but you could look into that. I don’t think the Corsair HS80 does either, but double check. Lastly, I don’t think the Astro A50 has ambient mode either, but you should double check.

@@District.24 thankyou for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it :) Unfortunately I don’t have a Mac -I have the airpod pros and absolutely love them so the airpod max would probably go down a treat. I love the appearance of the h3pro hybrid and honestly everything about them looks ideal for what I’m after, it’s just the lack of ambient noise which is putting me off. I watched your review-Having used them yourself is the wired mode as good as the h6pro? And do they completely cut out background noise? I don’t usually have my games too loud but usually have to take a headphone off one ear to hear thinks like door knocking or kids calling me. Would these be the same in your opinion?
@keepsakes-by-kim7897 Жыл бұрын
The H3PRO Hybrid comes with passive noise cancelling. It won’t drown out big noises. It’s wired connection is pretty much the same as the H6PRO, but if I was you, I wouldn’t settle. You want a headset with an ambient mode, hold out for one. To be honest, that’s usually a feature you find on headphones not gaming headsets.

@Panchel10HD4 ай бұрын
The purpose of open-back headphones is to create a more natural sound. They invite a larger sound stage, and add much clarity. Footstep direction is dependent on imaging, and footstep clarity depends on prominent mids and volume. Sounds can sound clearer when they are louder. The H6PRO from EPOS has excellent footstep clarity, because the mids are so prominent on that headset - and it’s a closed-back. At the end of the day, which style (open/closed) that gets you the sound signature you desire is the one you’ll stick with.

Mic sensitivity can also be adjusted in-game, and by your team mates. Once you set it to where you want it on your end, then it’s up to your teammates to set theirs (what they’re hearing) if they find yours to loud.

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 suggest the closed. You’ll have all your bases covered if you go with the closed version. Good luck to you.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I forgot to mention amps. I play on the PS5, and I don't use an amp, but on PC a feature rich amp and/or software can help you boost areas of sound that are lacking.
Excellent comparison. Thanks! Subd.

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?
Imaging is direction of the sound. The loudness of the sound comes from the elevated mids/highs. The open and closed versions have the same imaging, but the closed has a brighter sound signature making it easier to hear those footsteps coming.
@@District.24 Ohhh thank you for explaining so good! Keep up the reviews all of them are GREAT!
nice detailed review .... thanks bro

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?
Sound is subjective, so I don’t really know what you’ll hear, but I can tell you what I and many others hear with the H6PRO: amazing sound signature with incredible imaging. The best imaging in a gaming headset in the market today.
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?

@@District.24 if you compare with the latest G pro x v2 and the cloud 3? would you still pick h6?
Yes.
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
You’ll get more detail from the “closed” version of the H6PRO.
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.
@@District.24 Also, why would I pay an extra 170$ for the H6 Pro instead of buying the H3? H3 = 90$CAD H6 Pro = 260$CAD.
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.
Whoever said that doesn’t know what the hell they’re talking about. The H6PRO is the best all-round gaming headset I’ve seen, and is the perfect choice for you. You don’t need an amp for it l, because it has low impedance and high sensitivity. On my PS5, I plug it straight into my controller. On PC, if you’re using your motherboard’s built in amp then you should have no problems, unless you have a shitty motherboard amp. The GSX1000 and 1200 are low powered and out of date - don’t use them. If you feel you need to buy an amp then go with the Fiio K11. It has 1400mW of goodness. :). Go with the H6PRO (closed) and don’t look back.
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
You should email EPOS regarding your idea.
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)
If your laptop is a Mac then I highly recommend the Apple AirPods Max. It has everything you need. If you’re on PC then you’ll have to do some research, because I don’t know of a headset that matches all your criteria. The H9 Inzone has a crappy mic, so if you don’t mind that then I guess you could go with that. I don’t think the EPOS H3PRO Hybrid has an ambient mode, but you could look into that. I don’t think the Corsair HS80 does either, but double check. Lastly, I don’t think the Astro A50 has ambient mode either, but you should double check.
@@District.24 thankyou for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it :) Unfortunately I don’t have a Mac -I have the airpod pros and absolutely love them so the airpod max would probably go down a treat. I love the appearance of the h3pro hybrid and honestly everything about them looks ideal for what I’m after, it’s just the lack of ambient noise which is putting me off. I watched your review-Having used them yourself is the wired mode as good as the h6pro? And do they completely cut out background noise? I don’t usually have my games too loud but usually have to take a headphone off one ear to hear thinks like door knocking or kids calling me. Would these be the same in your opinion?
The H3PRO Hybrid comes with passive noise cancelling. It won’t drown out big noises. It’s wired connection is pretty much the same as the H6PRO, but if I was you, I wouldn’t settle. You want a headset with an ambient mode, hold out for one. To be honest, that’s usually a feature you find on headphones not gaming headsets.
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'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)
In the case of the H6PRO, I would recommend the closed-back version. I enjoy listening to music with them as much as I enjoy playing FPS games. Use Amazon, they have an excellent return policy if you're not happy.

It’s wonderful for music. This is one of the reasons I hold this headset in such high regard. It’s the most well rounded gaming headset I’ve found to date. It’s not feature rich like others, but those others don’t perform (sound and mic) like the H6PRO.

Not much, but enough to notice. It’s personal preference as to which headset you prefer the sound signature of.

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?
If you don’t need a mic, your choices are TYGR 300 R and HD 560S. If you do need a mic, the H6PRO open-back is your choice.
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.
Normally I would say open for that scenario, but the H6PRO open isn’t very good. So closed, or TYGR 300.

Yes. That’s what makes them an excellent all around great gaming headset.
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.
No you don’t. Its impedance is very low. Works great without any amp.
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.
Sound is subjective. It’s whichever sounds better to you. I prefer open when it’s a quiet environment, but I prefer closed when playing FPS games regardless of the environment.
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

Does the GSX 300 work on ps5? and will the sound be better with the GSX 300 connected?
No. Works on PC only. Amps generally improve sound of headphones, but the PS5 is so good you won’t need any amp unless your headphones is 100+ ohms.

Yes, I forgot to mention amps. A good amp and/or software can really help a headset that's lacking. Although, the H6PRO "open-back" is not lacking at all. It's a fantastic headset.

The HD 560S has superior imaging to the H6PRO, so I would have to say the 560S is the better audio device for FPS gaming.
If you have to decide between EPOS H6 Closed or Astro A40, which one would you choose?
As a gamer who has owned two Astro A40's, an A50 and an A20, I can honestly tell you that the H6PRO is the best wired gaming headset I have ever used.
which one would you recommend for hearing foot steps, closed or open?
Closed
do the closed back get hot in humid weather?
I don’t know. I have air conditioning. Mine are cool to the touch. I found the Berdynamics hot. I found Astro’s hot, but never the EPOS H6PRO.
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...
The purpose of open-back headphones is to create a more natural sound. They invite a larger sound stage, and add much clarity. Footstep direction is dependent on imaging, and footstep clarity depends on prominent mids and volume. Sounds can sound clearer when they are louder. The H6PRO from EPOS has excellent footstep clarity, because the mids are so prominent on that headset - and it’s a closed-back. At the end of the day, which style (open/closed) that gets you the sound signature you desire is the one you’ll stick with.
Beyerdynamic Dt 770 pro vs Epos H6 pro closed, which one is more suitable for gaming?
EPOS H6PRO for the win!
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.
H6PRO closed. It’s better than the open.

How is the closed back connexted to ps5 remote. Is it good
It’s connected via a cable from the headset to the controller. The connection is solid.
@@District.24 ok ty. Hows the volume ?
I want to venture to the open back headphone sound and I want to upgrade from my hyper x cloud alpha
Then try the EPOS H6PRO “open”.
Is this headset good for ps5 ? Mostly playing Warzone.
Yes. I use mine on my PS5 to play BFV.
@@District.24 Hey bro, thanks for the recommendation. I've had the headset for 2 days now and I'm really satisfied. The only thing that bothers me is that the microphone is too sensitive. Although I set the mic level to 0 on my ps5 on the far left. It would be nice if you could turn it down a bit more..
Mic sensitivity can also be adjusted in-game, and by your team mates. Once you set it to where you want it on your end, then it’s up to your teammates to set theirs (what they’re hearing) if they find yours to loud.
What’s your headset holder/stand?
Just something I found on Amazon. Don’t remember the name.
@@District.24 oh okay thanks for replying anyways
should i get h6pro closed or hd560s which is better in your opinion?
It depends on what you’re using it for primarily and secondarily.
@@District.24 gaming , watching movies is there is a huge diffrence between the two ?
Get the H6PRO.
FPS gaming For PS5 Astro a50 or H6pro ? Any info
H6PRO. Better sound signature. Better mic. More durability.
Hi can you hear your own voice during game chat?
No. Side tone is not a feature of the H6PRO.
The hearing there own voice thing could be fixed with a noise gate but thats pc only
Yeah. On the PS5 you have to turn down the mic sensitivity, which works on some headsets, but not all. For example, I can't solve this problem on the Coolermaster MH630. I wish I never bought that headset, because there are so many people online complaining of the exact same problem.
Wait, 751 from coolermaster?
MH-751 from Cooler Master.
@@District.24 Ive been looking at those recently as well as a pair of cheap closed backs to have around. I currently play with my 58x. worth saving more for the h60pro?
H6PRO is my first choice. There are cheaper alternatives in Corsair and Steelseries.
Mate, on the pc you not using the mic attached to the headphones, you get a proper mic
Not everyone can afford or even wants an external mic.
@@District.24 you’re right, I just said it anyway it’s good you made a review like how it comes out of the box fair enough
h6pro open is the best gaming headset up into this point
For me, it’s the closed version, because I play primarily FPS games. Thanks for sharing.
@@District.24 I play primarily fps as well. For me its just easier to hear where people are coming from when you have both imaging and soundstage.
And that’s the way to do it. You always have to pick what works best for you.
Coming from a guy with a PC 38x if you have a loud ass gaming laptop get a closed back
Agreed.
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
Well, now you know, and knowing is half the battle. G.I. Joe.
