When I was on the helpdesk at the start of my IT career, the level of dumb that I learned existed in the world shocked me, so I'm not surprised.
I know only too well what you mean, but in those support scenarios even very smart people appear pretty dumb sometimes. There is a difference, however, between simple unfamiliarity with a field and outright stupidity. People, who purchase a gaming headset and should therefore use their PC rather regularly for playing games, should know better than the popular average, though ;D
Very interesting to hear you compare the H6 with the HD560S since I'm currently choosing between the two! I intend to use the headphones/headset almost excluseviley for gaming and the price difference is close to negligable here in Sweden. What would you prefer? The 560 or the H6?
First time watching your vids. Excellent video, really enjoyed it! Currently looking for a new set of headphones after my steelseries arctis pro's cracked where the ear piece and head strap connect due to a terrible design. They were fabulous headphones so trying to find a replacement has been tiresome. This review has helped me out quite a lot. Definitely considering the h6pro. Cheers
With a Series X on the way in November (provided the limited edition doesn't get another delay in Aus), I've been researching headphones for weeks on end and going round in circles. After watching your excellent review I bit the bullet and ordered the H6PRO open back in the green. Thanks heaps
I got the Sebring open backs yesterday for my series X, love them
I just took the h 6 pro in green and gold. The closed version. I'm really happy, I have my astro at 50 which is right next to it and honestly, the sound quality between the 2 has nothing to do with it. I much prefer the h 6 pro. I use it suddenly on my Xbox series x and for the PC, I will add a little creative soundBlaster X 3 for pc. I'm on a laptop and it doesn't have much power.
Doing the review with the mic was a great idea and sets this review apart from the rest. Earned a new sub, keep it up man
at least the camera decided to wait till the end of the video before it started freaking out, it make me giggle though XD Thank you for another helpful review, these look like some snazzy headsets. I really like their design for the detachable mic and the volume knob.
is it better than the gsp 600? can you hear steps better with it? I have a logitech g pro x yet and would try a epos/sennheiser headset
For someone streaming, is open back version going to be heard? I on the verge of getting this headset, just not sure whether people will hear my game 😅
Loved your review, how do they perform on ps5? In concerned about getting too low volune if I use this headset on my ps5
Hey, can you answer a question I was wondering about? What is the difference in Ear pad material (both inner and outer) between the open and closed versions? They seem to be slightly different and I'm trying to decide which one I want to pick up based on that. Comfort is a huge deal to me - I wasn't a real big fan of the interior of the ear cups on the GSP 600 line but the GSP 500 as well as 370 were far softer. Thanks!
iv got closed and iv used my friends which are open i personally like the closed version i suffer from hyper sensitivity only issue iv had is they were abit tight when i got them
Open back is definitely the way to go for home/quiet environments
Looks like I'll be spending another 180 on a headset, I have a game one, and a gsp 500 the detachable mic is a selling point for me.
Would you like to ask whether the stretched length of H6 PRO has 10 segments like H3? Or is it only up to 8?
Hybrid version of these would be perfect. Do we think they will be a thing? Want to retire my 7 year old (still going strong) Game Ones with something wireless but mostly everything on the market seems rubbish. Almost pulled the trigger on the H3Pro Hybrid but think I will be disappointed with quality as from what I can tell H6Pro are the true Game One/Zero successor.
Is there a big difference in the highs between closed and open back ? ,Or is it only slight ?
I've never heard anyone ever say "apocalyptically thick" before. I'm going to start using that.
Yooo blunty.... I was recommended the gsp600, I saw your video on them this morning then ordered the gsp600... Then saw the release of this so cancelled... Waiting on reviews before purchasing, I've only seen 1 that wasnt English so no idea what they said... Yours is the 1st English one I'm watching...keep up the good work
How is the sound compared to the gsp600
@@StickyGeko go for open or semi open backs bro. testing alot of headsets and headphones right now and dt 990 edition and even gaming headsets like pc37x or gsp 500 sound way better than any closed back. i didnt find the perfect one yet but im interesting in testing the h6 pro open back or the hd 598 next. on paper the hd 598 still looks like the perfect headphone for gaming and music but the h6 green/gold looks too good and it seems like that they improved the comfort alot over the old gsp line
@@uwetriceps3036 my issue is that my gaming setup is in the dinning room, open plan to the kitchen so if I get open back I'll hear everything that's going on in the kitchen etc
@@StickyGeko ok then the epos h6pro closed back is prob a really good choice if not the best. the gsp 600 sound is really good but they r insanely uncomfy cause of the high weight and clamping force. the chances r high that the sound is really close if not the same (looks like the same driver and pad design) on the epos h6 with improved comfort and weight
@@uwetriceps3036 h6pro has a different driver size and frequency
Question, I currently have the open back Game Ones, and since you have personally used them yourself how does the H6 Pros compare to the Game Ones, would you say the upgrade is worth it? I plan on adding a Schiit Hel 2 for my DAC. Thanks
There's a noticeable difference side by side if you like, IMMEDIATELY swap between them on the same listening source, nothing dramatic, just subtle differences. A but crisper on bass, a bit bitier in the high mids, but unless your Game one's are starting to wear and tear, Or you want the lighter fit, the difference is unlikely to be "worth it".
@@BluntyTV thanks for that info. Would you say a good solid DAC/AMP would give me a better upgrade over the headphones themselves? I currently have an Astro Mixamp Tr (old version) that is starting to randomly disconnect on me sometimes during gaming, so I'm thinking of getting the Schiit Hel 2 to replace it. What AMP / DAC do you use?
Good design panders to the lowest common denominator without doing so at the expense of the people who can use their brains. Headset volume controls are usually a set-and-forget type of deal for me, so I don't think I'll be too inconvenienced by the 5 % lowest volume.
this was fast man. Disappointing microphone frequency response rate, compared to the gps. its actual thing i was interested in.
I have a pair of jerry rigged Turtle Beach 360 headphones. Added a second audio jack because my pc wouldn't do both mic and speakers with just one plug.
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?
No. Although I often use the Apple USB-C Dongle regardless. One of Apple's best products honestly.
Subscribed as soon as he said he was doing thr entite video using the mic. Genius
Can you compare these to game one?
That mic is super clean compared to other gaming headsets I hear people use
People not thinking to check the volume level is depressing indeed. ...Yeah not a lot to say today, but gotta try to help with the almighty algorithm.
would it be worth it to get these as a replacement for the Sennheiser G4ME ONE? The features seem very comparable.
G4ME ONE or GAME ONE??
Would you recommended these for PC and Xbox? I'm stuck between Astro A50 or a wired headset with a DAC. Still not sure 😅
Definitely this over a Astro dude. It’s a Sennheiser.
@@veryinterestingpersonaliti8321 Yeah I was going to go wireless as per a friend's suggestion. But all I want is a headset for gaming with good sound. When I saw this, thought why not get it and the GSX 1000 DAC.
@@GamesWizard not sure that DAC will work on Xbox series X,
Might have to cop these for my Series X. That green and gold looks great
Mine arrive today ...but green were out of stock :(
Them halo colours
So I have the GSP 500/550/600/670s how can I justify buying a pair of these to my wife ?
A few of my relatives work In customer support and they say the most common issues are answered by "Is It plugged In"
Sebring is a race track in the US :)
i like blunts. i like tech. i like funny. all of theses things u are. subscribed :)
Hi Blunty, Great video, so thank you. I'm a bit sour with EPOS at the moment. When the H3'S were announce I was super excited, and purchased the white H3's as soon as I could get my hands on them, and love them. Then now recently out of nowhere they just announced the H6's, which look like they trump the H3 in every way possible. I feel they should have waited to announce the whole new "H" series at once, I mean I just spent $120.00 on the H3's, and had I known these were in development I would have waited to spend a little more for the H6's. I'm kind of mad that they didn't give consumers adequate notice to make a decision on these. They could have at the very least mentioned these were coming when they released the H3's. Not a good move IMO.
This happens all the time dude, as annoying as it is... I got the black shark V2, not long after they announced the wireless version.. which fixed the main issues with the wired one.
That's just the nature of buying tech. At least your headphones don't get worse just because someone released a newer version. It's not like buying a computer only to find that it can't keep up with software demands a few years later.
@@SleepyFen It's so true. Especially in technologies. I remember when nvidia announced their GTX 1080 ti, when I had just bought my 1080 for same price like 1 month ago 😂 I was really disgusted that day. But that's how it is, you have to deal with it. And as you said very well, that does not prevent that the material that you currently have is still as good. 😊
I ordered the racer green version (open back).
Thanks for this review, Blunty. I've had a GSP500 just bite the dust, one too many encounters with the floor from my cat. Nice T-shirt Agent.
I just ordered both the closed back and the drop+ version in the open back in black to compare the sound profiles since I've never tried an open back design. But now that I've seen your video I'm kind of wishing I had gone for the green. The green in the product pictures looks brighter, more "gamery" so to speak. So I wasn't sure about them. But they look really classy in this lighting.
I have a really bad habit of wearing headphones with one cup behind my ear so I can still hear the world around me. Probably the reason I have gone through 3 headsets in under 2 years. Corsair HS50 - Cups literally cracked their way off of the band, GSP 300 - Sound stopped working in 1 ear, Logitech G Pro (current set) - Sound in one ear goes a bit funny depending on the volume wheels position. It really bugs me that I just can't make a pair last, when my first pair of headphones lasted me 5 years.
Use a faking openback headset then
I do the same thing with one cup behind my right ear. I use arctis 3 2019 edition and its's still working even after 2 yrs. Maybe you can try that one.
Wow ! depressing is the word here for sure & how some people don't read instructions on how to use the volume control is just Mind Blowing.
Thanks for being to the point and calling out the stupidity in our species. Hate the youtubers that resort to gimmicky bs during their videos.
"Which is incredibly depressing to me" Subscribed.
If someone makes something idiot proof, someone will make a better idiot.
Lol. I had a good laugh. These headphones seem great for gaming.
I think I’m gonna stock up on one or two of these since the company went bust.
The company did not "go bust", they're 100% operational still and will continue to be... They have, however, stated their intent to leave the "gaming" accessory market. that is NOT the same as "going bust".
Excellent review
i couldnt handle the 560s for more than 20 mins for gaming cause of their really harsh upper mids and highs and people call beyerpeaks bad, the 560s literally rip your ear drums apart. right now im testing gsp 500s which r way more bearable for gaming than the 560s and im also testing the dt 990 edition which have a little bit too much bass imo but r def better than both sennheisers in overall sound quality. would be interesting to know if the new epos h6 pros open back sound like the gsp 500 or even better. im torn between these and the hd 598 for the next testing phase :)
HD598s are excellent, I used a pair for a good few years before swapping out of the HD6XXs from massdrop (rebranded HD 650s I believe)
@@nekogod yeah im most likely going for the hd 598, they look too good on paper and only have really good reviews. i also think they decreased the frequency on the epos h6 to get more volume out of them which is a bummer. so they most likely sound even worse than the gsp 500s
How do you charge them
What?
You dont cuz it’s not wireless
Im such an idiot, i got these today.... thought they were broken, filed for a replacement and realized i didnt plug in the cable all the way into the headset.... They are a lot bassier than i thought on the open back
Thank you, actually required a bit of force to plug in
These vs the Sennheiser/DROP PC38x 🤔
Pc38x all day. I've had the gsp 500 and 600 and the pc38x for a month now and they are far better tuned altho I am just talking for FPS. For watching a movie the 600 were the best I've heard.
I was one of these dumb people. I thought my sound card on my phone had died. Also running on no sleep so...
These sound much better than any "gaming" headset has a right to.
Nice!
The green look good. but do i really want to buy a headset designed for stupid people?
I always wanted to try out open back, will do it with th H6Pro now!
Commenting for KZhead Algorithm
These headphones seem great, best mic quality I've heard on a gaming headset yet too! But I'll be sticking with my turtle beach z11 headset, breathable, super light weight, clean sound quality, great sound stage for binaural audio encoding and comfortable for long gaming sessions. I've been using them for years although I am on my second headset now.
Thumbs up👌🏽
XD
hahaha wassup silent bob
