Thanks for the comparison. Due to yours and some other reviews on TH-cam, I purchased a pair of (used, like new) PC38X's for 100.00. I was upgrading from an old (but still good) SHP9500's and wow, is there a huge improvement in detail and soundstage for music, gaming, or just surfing TH-cam. I am ecstatic with my purchase. My only gripe was the strong clamping force and I mitigated that just by stretching them across the box they came in overnight.
i love my 560s and told my friend he should try it because its that good! he used it for a day and was like meh i kinda like mine more, i can pin point better with it. so got curious, borrowed his h6pro(open) and he was right! the 560s sounds better but directional audio is better with the h6pro. the verticality is way better! we play csgo, valo and apex btw.
i have 560s to but wanted to try the h6pro closed for better isolation. with 560s to many sound in background is bad when playing csgo. what is your opinion with h6 open?
I really want a PC38X but I'm so worried about the plastic extensions. Dunno if I should get the H6pros, I had the closed ones but had to return after 3 days because it was just giving me a huge headache; I felt like there was a ton of pressure in my head and felt dizzy sometimes. They sounded pretty good though, I thought maybe the open ones could fix that.
@@louieduarte7436I ended up going for the PC38Xs because they were on sale. Never got to try the openback versions of the H6pros, sorry. On the bright side, I think the PC38Xs sound great and the clamp force is a bit tight at first but they break in.
It's funny the 38x has the most natural sound, because I had Sennheiser 360 GAME or something as my first PC headset way back (they look identical to 38x) and I have yet to experience as natural sound in ANY similarly proceed set since.
Hey I'm thinking about putting my Razer Kraken V3 to rest and am looking to upgrade. I mostly play Sim Racing and FPS games (Halo). Would you recommend the PC38x or the Audeze Maxwell? Looking for the best quality sound and mic.
@@ryanhostudio was thinking about getting cause they’re $50 off at bestbuy rn. GadgetryTech claims it’s the best headset for FPS. wanted your input because i feel like we have same “taste” desires in audio quality.
for wireless headphones i just use the audeze maxwell as it’s incredibly detailed sounding. I find it good for fps. However, I think epos h6 pro is the best FPS headphone for me as i can literally pin point people in smokes and through walls blind, but I know it’s not wireless
i bought the h6pro closed at $79 but i wonder if the open makes a lot of difference... the open go for $179.99.... i play apex legends and league mostly.
Thank you for this comparo! Which of these would you recommend picking up considering the drastically reduced price? H6 Pro open for $100, H6 Pro Closed for $80 or PC38X $116. I play Apex, Rocket League and Sim race at times and I watch a lot of movies.
@@yooanto9465 never heard the beyer t1 but looking at the measurements the mm-100 is like the opposite, much more midrange and lower treble focus, while rest of treble more subdued. The beyer t1 looks pretty dark until treble spike of 8k
technically anything you plug it into including your phone or pc uses the internal dac amp. I assume you mean buying a dedicated dac/amp that’s high quality will always sound better but it runs fine directly into a pc
Im sorry bro..I just realized, I don't intend to promote any online shop, I also don't have an online shop, what I want to ask beforehand is that there is an offer in an online shop for a bundle of H6pro and GSX 300 headsets and I'm considering buying it, is it a combination of the two? is that good? or I can just buy the H6pro... thank you and sorry maybe my English is not good 😓
Hey, friend, did you buy the H6PRO with the dac? If so, what do you think of it when it comes to gaming and listening to music? And is he very tall? I thank you and apologize for the English, because I'm from Brazil@@davids1568
Don't buy any of them, they're all junk compared to the older true Sennheiser models like the PC 350se or PC 360. The 360 being the best but you need a good sound card to pump out the juice to power them! All the later headsets are designed to work with consoles so have much smaller less power hungry drivers, which is great if that's what you want to use them with, but you will notice a huge difference if you step up to a PC with a pro sound card installed!
@@chumpydump Yes, but they weren't mine to keep or play around with for long. To be honest they didn't seem that bad from what I remember, I think possibly that they were close to the PC360's, but then they are proper sennheiser headphones and not a gaming headset. Sennheiser's headphone division is part of the original company and is separate to their gaming headset division, which they part sold off to other companies a little while ago. After this point the sennheiser gaming headsets became pretty poor. Epos and Drop pretty much ruined the quality of the gaming headsets in order to make them compatible with a wider range of devices. Even their more expensive models like the H6pro range just sound tinny and weak by comparison, and it doesn't matter how much you fiddle with the EQ, you'll never get the same range of sound as you did with the older ones. The GSP 500's etc are also no better, and the wireless versions are utter pants! The only other set that I've found that is comparable, is the PC373D. These are wired with a USB dolby dongle to give 7.1 surround sound, and to be fair it does a nice job of it, but perhaps not quite as strong as the old PC360's ultimately.

glad it helped! Yeah the PC38x is really good, the tuning is amazing too

that’s cool thanks for sharing! yeah i found h6pro amazingly good as well

i think the closed are actually more comfortable than the open. you could try pc38x if that fits better
Did u like the open or closed back h6pros sound better?

@@ikkeheltvanlig yeah they did a really good job with them
@ryanhostudio absolutely. My volume button misbehaved and has finally completely cut the sound, I'm looking into soldering and a possible fix ha ha
any chance you can do a mic comparison?
Hey I'm thinking about putting my Razer Kraken V3 to rest and am looking to upgrade. I mostly play Sim Racing and FPS games (Halo). Would you recommend the PC38x or the Audeze Maxwell? Looking for the best quality sound and mic.
audeze maxwell is definitely the best
@@ryanhostudio okay thanks a lot for that. I'm doing INTENSE research and your video helped a lot.
@@ryanhostudio are they worth backordering and waiting? These don't seem to be available anywhere on the face of the earth lol
they will definitely be high quality headphone if you wanted to wait. The PC38x is pretty readily available also a great headphone
Really sad about Epos. Rocking the H6pro open for a while now. They are just awesome
yeah it would of been cool to see the pc39x or epos h7 pro could of been
@@ryanhostudio ya man. They had a chance too with the 2nd edition gsx. That could have changed things had it been a bit for quality on the audio side
Nice review!
Glad you enjoyed it
what are your thoughts on the turtle beach stealth pro?
havent tried it
@@ryanhostudio was thinking about getting cause they’re $50 off at bestbuy rn. GadgetryTech claims it’s the best headset for FPS. wanted your input because i feel like we have same “taste” desires in audio quality.

@@ryanhostudiowhich h6 pro the open back or the closed back for fps ?
i bought the h6pro closed at $79 but i wonder if the open makes a lot of difference... the open go for $179.99.... i play apex legends and league mostly.
i’m sure direction accuracy pretty similar it’s just closed has a lot of bass
How do i decide between H6Pros and the Maxwells? D:
best sound quality maxwell, if you want best imaging h6 pros
Thank you for this comparo! Which of these would you recommend picking up considering the drastically reduced price? H6 Pro open for $100, H6 Pro Closed for $80 or PC38X $116. I play Apex, Rocket League and Sim race at times and I watch a lot of movies.
probably h6 pro open it’s good for competitive games and has good bass
where the hell did you get these for so cheap?
@@synetic it was during the black friday sale
I need to decide between H6 pro or HD560S...
Which is better for competitive FPS?
Where I live there is no PC38X for sale.
i’ve only tried h6 pro for competitive gaming and demo 560s for music so i can only vouch for h6 pro
Mm100 or those?
depends on what your looking for
@@yooanto9465 never heard the beyer t1 but looking at the measurements the mm-100 is like the opposite, much more midrange and lower treble focus, while rest of treble more subdued. The beyer t1 looks pretty dark until treble spike of 8k
Which would u recommend for a competitive player, the epos h6 pro or pc38x
h6 pro
Too bad Epos stops making these headphones
i think they stop developing new products but are still making them or selling last of stock in 2024
Nice review 👍 how about using epos h6pro without DAC?
technically anything you plug it into including your phone or pc uses the internal dac amp. I assume you mean buying a dedicated dac/amp that’s high quality will always sound better but it runs fine directly into a pc
@@ryanhostudio thx for respons 🙏🏻 on my olshop now have promote bundle with GSX300, is it good?? i play fps game like CS2 and valorant

HD58X is more music oriented
PC38X is all around
I don't have H6 so no comment
h6 better bass and sub bass than other 2, PC38x arguably better tuning for music than hd58x, but the hd58x definitely has better detail
Epos suck regret buying. I prefer my old a40 and pretty sure steel series nova pros are great too
