I originally had a pair of HD599's and needed a headset for when I got my Series X, so I picked up the H6 Pro open back because it was stupidly expensive to import the PC38x to the UK. They are really nice, even as a glasses wearer after a couple of days of wearing them they were fine.
Recently subscribed and picked up the H6 Pro based on your recommendation. Can't wait to get them in on Friday. Very entertaining videos by the way. I've gone through a couple so far while working and it helps the work day go by fast.
H6Pro open sound real nice, but then many headphones sound great... maybe more important: they are super comfortable, previously I couldn't ever wear headphones for more than 40 minutes, my ears got irritated and i'd often get swollen both on the outer ears but also inside the ear canal, H6Pro is the first headphones that I have ever tried that i can wear for a 6 hour gaming binge without problems... also I wear glasses and they don't push on the glasses or the ears, which many headphones do... so happy i found these and i even got them cheap on sale on a swedish online computer store (inet), and on top of that because it was an "opened package", they took off 25% of the price on top of the already reduced price for it having been returned, but everything looked pristine i would never have been able to tell if they'd sold me the same one as new... Also the green-gold-black ones actually look tasteful and not like some trashy "gamer" product, I take them on when i ride the tram to work... most headsets sold as "gaming headsets" aren't something I would want to wear in public...
@@District.24 got them on sale, so they were cheap$ (😂), so far, they are really nice, nice build quality and they sound great. Only issue, now I have to go thru all my headphones and get rid of the ones that don’t measure up. 😂
I am having a hard time believing the H6 pro has better imaging then the hd599. I own the H6 pro and HD560s. Try to put any eq on the H6 pro and I lose most of the imaging and H6 pro has no bass. The HD 560s blows away the H6 pro from the water and I am a COD/warzone player
hd599 is really dark which makes imaging in games not that easy even though the pure stats in the lab r prob pretty good. game ones/pc37x r def tuned way better for gaming, little bit more highs and not that dark overall. i hope you dont talk about the closed back h6 pros cause these fkcers have almost too much bass. they really remind me of beyer tuning just in a closed back format. the overall package of the h6 pro closed back is prob one of the best when it comes to closed back gaming headsets only beaten by game ones/pc37x which r open back. and the hd560s though... yeah they have amazing imaging and they r clear af but if these things dont fkcn destroy your ears in the long run your blessed with ears of iron. maybe its just me but they have a really gnarly peak in the highs which make them unbearable
@@MrUwinho the H6 pro don’t have much bass. The hd 560s has way more bass. The H6 pro are sweet when you use them through a dac amp. I just bought the beyer dt 900 pro x and I love them
No need. I can tell you right now that the H6Pro smokes the HD 58X Jubilee. The former is a headset and the latter is a headphones - so no mic. I own and use both of them, and I have always struggled to get the HD 58X to sound good even with amps and modifications, although it sounds a lot better with the mod I did. I did a video on it, so look for that. The one thing I do like about the HD 58X over the H6Pro is that the former has a really nice cable with dual connections.
I love the EPOS H6PRO!! Question though..have you ever tried any Nubwo headsets? My brother wants to buy a cheap but good headset and he got recommended the Nubwo U3, N7, N12 & N20.
I own both and prefer the epos h6 pro but unfortunately I wear glasses and the h6pro are really uncomfortable. For this I will return the epos and continue to use the hd 599. Do you happen to know some comfortable open headphones like the hd 599 but with more bass?
Unfortunately, I can’t think of a headphone that meets all your criteria. Furthermore, I use my H6Pro with glasses, and I have no pain or uncomfortableness at all.
i have the open version of the h6 pro and my friends also noticed excessive pressure on the ears after an hour of use. Even looking in amazon reviews many users have had the same problem. I do not question the honesty of your reviews (in fact I am your subscriber) but this makes me think that the American version is different from the European one. Thanks for the reply
Yeah, it's all very subject. Another subscribe told me that the H6PRO is tight for him over the PC38X. Where as for me, it's the opposite. All any of us can do is try out the headset which we are interested in. If we're not happy send it back before the return policy expires. Amazon has an excellent return policy.
Buying Dolby Atmos is really a decision that only you should make. The H6Pro doesn't require an AMP as it is only 28 ohms and 117 dB SPL. I use the Hel 2, because I want to use headphones with impedance greater than 150 ohms on a PS5, and the Hel 2 uses UAC v1, which is what the PS5 uses. I don't use it on my PC, but if I wanted to or needed to I have that option.
It depends on the type of games you like to play, but more importantly, it depends on your environment. If you are in a noisy environment you would most likely benefit from a closed-back headset, but if you're not, then you could enjoy the benefits of an open-back.
@@District.24 mostly playing WoW or Diablo III in my office, pretty quiet. But, have an Xbox that I wouldn’t mind using them so, I guess that decides it eh. 😂
Nice ))) I have both pairs. The headphones are completly different. H6Pro (open) - a lot of bass and subbass. HD599 more correct in terms of frequency response. I like them both, when I want a good bass in the music I take H6Pro (open). Compared to G4ME ONE, H6Pro (open) has more bass and the mic quality.

@@District.24 one of my friends that have h6pro recently buy the mmx150 he says the the body material of h6pro is better but the sound and the mic is very better is he saying right?
Sound is subjective. In my opinion, the sound of the H6Pro is superior to the MMX 150. Others may feel differently, because they hear something different.
In my opinion, the H6Pro is better. I have used the Astro A40 (4th generation and version 2 sound), although the sound signature on the version 2 is better than the version 1, it is note enough to beat the H6Pro. The A40 is heavier, lacks proper detents, has no flip-to-mute mike, has less comfortable pads, and still requires the MixAmp Pro to really shine. A closed-back headset or headphones leaks little to no noise from the speakers, which allows you to play in a quiet environment or an environment with noisy people that you want to drown out - because it doesn't let much sound in. A open-back headset or headphones allows some leaking of sound, which makes you feel like you are playing on a broader sound stage, and allows sound in so you can play to your hearts content, and still monitor your sleeping baby in the room next to yours. :)

Sure. Give me a few days. I use the Schiit Hel 2, as it works with the PS5 and PC, so I recommend that one.

Okay I bought a HEL 2e and a h6pro open, could you do a video on computer setup? Like should I buy Dolby Atmos?

@@District.24 I def need the amp, im using an old motherboard with ALC892 Motherboard and have to crank volume to 100%
Good luck with it. Enjoy. Sorry, but I don't have plans to do a Hel 2 setup video at this time.
Hmm, ePOS has them in open and closed back? What would you recommend for gaming?

@@District.24 mostly playing WoW or Diablo III in my office, pretty quiet. But, have an Xbox that I wouldn’t mind using them so, I guess that decides it eh. 😂
Go with open-back, but you may need an amp for the Xbox as many report the sound is low on Xbox.
