Buying the Open Back today. Thank you for the review!
no problem bageutte!
Thank you this helped pick which one to go with!
Super helpful! I just got the closed backs and noticed the bass was SO boomy - ordering the Open Backs now :)
glad it helped
i know i’m late but which version did you prefer? closed or open
He prefer the open one
Just bought mine. Closed back. Cant wait to try it out =)
What ended up being your impression/thoughts? I just got the closed back version…seems to be working well.
The pads are interchangeable. That was a very popular "mod" for the GSP500's, was to get the GSP600's pads and use them on the 500's. It also amps the lower frequencies up a bit (which you can tune out in EQ if you don't like that).
And yes, replacement pads are sold separately. So you can get the open backs, and just buy the closed back style pads separately and change them out.
Great review dude. I own the closed model and to my ears they sound great. I haven't used the open model so I can't compare them, though I do own open back sennheisers. I find the bass to be tight and thumpy and hear enough clarity in the high end and don't find it harsh. Different ears and different folks I guess.
Great video though 👌
thank you!
@@ryanhostudio i dont like this headphone just not for me
does cable rubbing sound transfer to earcup with the closed one? i hate RODE headphone's cable noise. im not sure if i should try closed one anymore. my old Sennheiser game one openback broke, i want a newone with detachable mic.
Amazing. Just what I needed. Thank you
glad it helped!
This helped me out a lot thanks man 💪🏼
you welcome!
Great comparison, good job.
Hi Ryan how are you?
First of all, thank you very much. You helped me to decide to get the open back ones but I have a question: I plan to use these on my pc and its back is really far.
Which extension cable is good for this headset as its cable is split into 2 (Mic & Sound) Also, do you recommend buying an amp or an external sound card with these? I do not quite understand the subject...
thanks in advance :)
You might not need an extension cable, it comes with two cables. The short cable is the mic and headphone output combined. The longer cable is split into the 2 mic and headphone and its pretty long cable.
It doesn't require an amp or external soundcard, you can just plug it into your pc
The closed ones are brilliant for FPS games, just got mine and I can clearly hear steps better in Counter-Strike than before with my previous 10 year old headset
yeah the imaging is pretty incredible on the headphone
Hey there! Thanks for making this comparison!
By the way, I have a question: does the open-back version of the headset "spit out" a lot of noise? I'm asking this since I usually play at night and I don't really want to wake up my family. Thanks in advance!
depends on how loud you listen to it but i would say closed back is safer option. but the leak is definitely not that bad, my hifiman leaks way more. it’s not as open as other headphones
I have the open back and i use it everyday for both my ps5 and Xbox series S. It’s even great for listening to music. Great microphone too
yeah its my daily driver too!
is it better than the hyper x cloud alpha? and does it have good sub bass even though it is open?
Is open back better then closed?
Great review thanks. I am going to order the open back as I live in a "quiet" area and the sound won't disturb my girlfriend as my setup is not in the bedroom.
Without your review I was going for the closed back. It helped me a lot. Thank you again.
you welcome!
I'm looking at getting either the GSP 600 or the H6pro and wanted to know if the drivers are exactly the same in every way . What I mean is also how they were tuned. The reason I ask Is I was reading the audio graphs for the GSP 600 and I really like it however the H6pro seems way more comfortable. I use my headsets for the competitive CSGO scene as I play in leagues and my entire play style is based off of tons of micro information and so I really need that pinpoint accuracy all the time. And so I ask if ALL the audio graphs from the GSP 600 apply to the H6pro because I can't find any audio graph readings anywhere for the H6pro. Your help would be much appreciated.
i mean the h6 pro is basically a refined version of the gsp 600 id probably just go with the h6pro since its newer. I demo'd a gsp600 recently didnt like the way it sounded
You are the first/only person to recommend the open over closed. That’s the one I ordered so I’m happy. I’m 50/50 gaming/music so I think the open back is perfect.
i honestly dont know how someone can recommend the closed when they clearly sound worst than the open
@@ryanhostudio some well respected reviewers have said that the closed back is better for FPS gaming as the soundstage accuracy is better. I don’t really see how that can be true, and your review said the emphasized mid-bass muddies the highs together, so the complete opposite of what others said! I actually just ordered both to compare them myself. I guess that’s the only way!
@@olivercox2565 I play games most of the time and before I started watching this video, I thought that closed-back headphones would be more suitable for me. and when I watched the video I can’t understand what is now the best closed type or open. I usually play games and listen to music. Tell me what would be better for me if I usually play fps games and listen to music during breaks. And now I’m at a loss as to whether it’s better to take a closed or open type. Thanks in advance for your reply
@@olivercox2565 I don’t want to take closed-type headphones and be disappointed, although fps games such as pubg, valorant require maximum concentration and hear all sounds clearly. Sorry if I’m confused
@@olivercox2565 if you've got both of them and are testing them out. Let me know how it goes in game with FPS and TPS. It'd be nice to the difference in both for me to decide.
Its the best gaming headset available imo. Great sound and beyond comfortable. It beats steel series and of course astro. But thats not difficult as astro cant find a way to keep there paint from flaking off
haha i think most astros just look ugly with those steel rods sticking out from top of head
@@ryanhostudio that and there quality is really bad. The mixamp is the only thing worth anything
Naah sorry Beyerdynamic MMX 300 are better
Hs65 has near identical directinery and imaging and a semi openback sound stage also much lighter and has a equal mic hs55 hs65 epos h6pro are all very very very good. For gaming not so good for music movies I'd say get the hs65 there cheaper but bjot a ymore as epos headphones are out of bussiness now so these can be bought for 60 dollars USA 70 pounds uk
Hey, thanks for the review - What about the heat generation on the ears, can you say something about that, because I've just bought the closed back ones (on sale for 70usd which was insanely cheap I thought) and I got to say, they are way too warm for my liking, after like 2 hours it almost gets unbearable. I am used to my old Sennheiser PC363D that are open back, and they are so much more comfortable compared to these. So how those the open back ones of the H6 Pro do in that regard?
the open and velours and open back so less hot
For you to hear the footsteps and guns reloading in battle you have to have to a headset that is closed back. You can Eq them to make some sounds pop out more than others, but I feel as if I picked up the open back that I would hear to much background noise, so for the closed back keeping all the sound in makes you hear more sound in a way, louder sound, this isn’t a bad thing when you need to hear everything
i guess it depends on your ambient noise and environment. You can always just turn it up louder to hear sounds.
@@ryanhostudio you should check out the Alienware 720h headphones, the drivers look like they are 20mm, I bought the H6Pros to see if they can outperform them but was I surprised. The AW720h can pick up things these can’t and I don’t know how lol.
Hey Broo first thank you for the great Review awesome job so i have one question ive ordered the open one for 90€ new and im searching for the best headset for steps in counterstrike first where and how far or near is the enemy to me would you say the openone for 90€ is the best Option? Or you know a better headset for example the hyperx alpha? I only play counterstrike
I made a summary of all headphones here. ua-cam.com/video/o0tU3rQ-MUQ/v-deo.html
But long story short epos h6 pro open still best for footsteps. The hyperx cloud alpha S, not the original alpha, has angled drivers and is good too if you want a closed back headphone
@@ryanhostudio ive ordered the epos h6pro in closed and open the try them twice maybe i try the alpha s to compare them together thank you a lot 💪
I have a 58x and a PC38X. I’m not happy with either. I’m thinking of picking these up but I can’t decide between open and closed. I hate not hearing my own voice and surroundings but those pads look so comfy on the closed.
question is what do you not like about the PC38x? Epos H6 pro uses the same driver so you might not get much different performance
@@ryanhostudio I don’t like the build. It feels so cheap and plasticky. So much so that it creaks and cracks while I’m wearing it. Even the padding on the headband is peeling off. I am super careful with my stuff too. It’s not a huge deal but I’d like to feel like I have a premium product when I paid a premium price. Thanks for the response and all of the detailed headphone reviews by the way.
Edit: You can buy the pads separately. I wonder what putting the closed pads on to the open headset would sound like. Hmm.
Just get the open back, and buy the closed back style pads separately and put them on the open backs.
Hey Ryan what are your thoughts regarding the h6pro open vs the hd660s? I mostly game with some music occasionally
i have the hd58x which sounds close to 660s but 58x is bassier. I would say the treble performance of 660s will sound more extended and clearer for sure. The bass performance of 660s will be much lighter compared to h6pro, in some ways i think if you enjoy a nice bass presentation the h6pro would be more fun to listen to compared to 660s
@@ryanhostudio awesome. Appreciate the feedback!
I'm looking for a headset+mic for long video meetings on Zoom and Teams. Not gaming. By looking at the review the closed version seems like the better pick due to the comfort advantage over the open version. I need to be able to have them on for multiple 2-hour sessions during a work day. Probably around 6 hours a day. This product also caught my attention due to the good mic review, seems to be scoring higher than most competitors in that department too. But when you started to rip apart the audio quality on the comfy closed version I fell back into frustration. Why is it so difficult to get good audio AND good mic?! Should I be looking at other products all together for my purpose?
So I use the epos h6 pro open and I swapped the earpads with dekoni jerzees that are more comfortable. I posted a video about it.
Out of the box, I thought the hyperx cloud alpha worked pretty well for mic, sound and comfort. The hyperx cloud orbit s definitely has better sound but I think mic is so so. I believe i did mic tests in both of those reviews you can check out.
take a look at the sennheiser impacts or the adapt models
@@tonyd112 Thanks, I did some research on that and even got to listen to some of the model mics in reviews. I wasn't impressed, for that prize you should expect them to sound better than lower prized mics like for instance the ModMic. ua-cam.com/video/Tut1KDa_S3M/v-deo.html&ab_channel=HeadsetAdvisor Seems like the ModMic is the best option, I already have a comfy DT770 Pro headset so I can use it with that. Seems like the best of both worlds. A decent mic on comfortable hi-fi cans. Perhaps I can even use that mic without a headset, I'm looking to ditch the cans all together, get's a bit tiring after wearing them for hours in meetings every single day. Perhaps I can find some way to attach the ModMic under my shirt or something? What do you think? Go over to the link I shared and have a listen if you like.
@@Underhills ahh that’s disappointing to hear
Can you make the closed to open, maybe changing that part alone?
Hello, I have the GSP600 and am considering buying this headset. just don't know openly or to. I play Battlefield, Apex Legends,
stream Sim ACC, Dirt Rally 2.0. Which choice would be better open or close
Greetings from Stuttgart DE ;)
open is better
@@ryanhostudio Thank you, already ordered, comes tomorrow and the GSP600 I sell then in ebay classifieds 🤓like New 7/22 😄
nice!
Does the h6pro have noise suppression?
I run my EPOS PRO H6 and i'm using the GSX 1200 to amp up the audio and it doesn't push these headphones much louder than no amp. weird, i would have thought the lower impedence would have allowed the amp to really crank this thing louder than whats comfortable.
check your headset volume dial is set to max on the right side of your earcup, you might have that set down to low limiting your volume. I plug it into my PC motherboard and i easily have enough volume
@@ryanhostudio yeah it’s up all the way. Can you have yours set to 99 without being way too loud? It’s only loud enough but not blasting for me
@@isaacespapa1 ua-cam.com/video/JkxOWKCoCkc/v-deo.html
Make sure you follow this settings.Otherwise the amp is not working as intended
Does the mic pickup the game audio if your volume is a bit too high? I am worried about getting the open backs because of it
not from my experience, but i also don’t listen to mine extremely loud either
So if you take the earpads from the closed headset and put them on the open headset, does that change the way it sounds or do you get best of both worlds.
does change the way they sound but way more comfortable
Can you try the open backs with the other pads? They are interchangeable and they sell them on the site
i did try them, i think the closed back pads on open back pads makes the sound bassier and less treble emphasized
With the closed back version of this (i won) At full volume i can hear myself and everything else, why is this please? Listen to this device is not ticked, i have no issue with my openback headset
so the open backs have better sub bass? looking to replace my blackshark v2 x that ive tuned the shit out of with my soundblaster card and fxsound to bring the bass out
you can hear subbass more because the mid bass isn’t overly enhanced like on closed back
How to set in fps game like apex with gsx300?
Hi, I've been using game one's with sound blaster z, thinking of getting these (open back) or the HD 560's. Out of these two which one would be a better upgrade? I mainly play fps games
i’ve only demo 560s for music before, but the epos h6 pro is definitely one of best fps headsets i have tried. Dropping a video today comparing it to sennheiser hd58x and drop epos pc38x
EPOS headphones are dead there closing down.
Always go with opened back!!!
agreed
I would love to know the difference between these open and pc38x soundwise
The soundstage is wider on the pc38x, but everything else is superior on the H6 Pro
@@olivercox2565 Good to know, I currently have the H6Pro they sound very good, I find the soundstage a bit smaller than my PC37x. But soundwise is superior. I was curious about the PC38x, but not so much anymore as this sound very good and look better
I have PC38X and H6Pro Open version. PC38X wins in sound quality and tuning. The audio is very natural, sound stage is OK, positioning is great for gaming. Meanwhile the H6Pro wins in build quality and comfort department. Audio-wise it's a bit more bassy compared to PC38X, and sound stage isn't as large.
I'd prefer PC38X more gaming and music, and H6Pro if I need to make calls all day since it feels more comfortable to me, and mic doesn't pick up plosives as much as PC38X mic.
hey i saw that this headset does not support surround sound? i need a extra dac to buy for surround to work? how am i supposed to hear where people are im valorant without surround? or does this headset have 3d audio
you do not need surround sound to play valorant, i think it makes it harder to hear things.
But if you want surround sound you can just turn on the settings option in windows for free, it’s called windows sonic
I genuinely have no idea what to get now, one half of people are saying that the Pc38x is better and the other half is saying that the H6 is, I even heard one review (on the h6) that as soon as they heard the music play on them it was an immediate return and that’d he’d stick to the Pc38x. But then you say it sounds like studio headphones. So I’m just stuck in this constant dilemma on what to get.
epos made pc38x and than made the epos h6 pro. It has the same drivers but newer design like detachable mic. The epos h6 pro has more bass from what i have seen on graphs
There not identical because the PC38X is tweeked slightly different, i cant comment on the openback version of the H6 but i have the closed back H6 and the PC38X, The H6 has a different design and removeable mic, the PC38X comes with 2 different earpads, i would buy them both if you can and test them, the PC38X is an epic mic, the best ive used for gaming period
More bass on the H6
Yeah i got the open ones for Christmas and the audio on it was garage compared to my 50$ headphones i was using im going to try the closed and see how it is. (H6)
So in a relatively quiet enviroment for playing CSGO or Valorant you would definately choose the openback?
definitely choose the openback its much better in my opinion
@@ryanhostudio Have you tested the H3 Hybrid Pro? kinda stuck between that and the openback h6pro
Hi, got these but my pc integrated audio is not cutting, wanted to pair them with a Fulla 4 but they are not available in Europe, any suggestion on budget dac amp combo ?
ifi zen dac is a good option. only thing is it doesn’t have a mic input like the fulla 4 does
@@ryanhostudio ty for the quick response, but could i just use an extension and connect the microphone directly to my pc ? if it just a headache i'll just get the Sound Blaster X4
Have you tried to changes closed pads to open headset i was thinking to order those nice leather pads to my open headset
yeah its worth doing for the comfort if you want that but does change the sound slightly warmer
@@ryanhostudio im using gsx 1000 with h6 so it might be worth trying 🤔
Planning to get the h6pro closed back with the GSX 1000. But having a hard time choosing between the open or closed pairs. What are your Recommendations?
i would get open
@@ryanhostudio Thanks for reply it means a lot! Have a great day
Im Dumb on this topic, please be nice.
I like this model, but im affraid to buy it because i cant realase what model is more confortable?
Open pads or Close pads?
the closed pads (leather ones) are more comfortable
I''ve been interested in the H6 pros for a good while now, and I can get the open back pair with the GSX 300 sound card free of charge. My only concern is sound bleed. I've never used open back headphones before, so I don't know how bad it is. I have my PC setup right next to my fiancée. Is it something that could be distracting in any way?
yeah it probably be distracting i would go with a closed back headphone in that scenario
Whats your opinion about the headphone cable? I recently bough the clowed back version and the cable makes a sound when it rubbs against my clothes. Its been driving me crazy
hmm i think most cables make sound when that happens but never really notice it in practical use personally
@@ryanhostudio there must be something wrong with my cable then, cause I had the hyperx cloud 2 before this and it was a non-issue. I'll see if I can replace the cable...
Is it better then the hyperx cloud 2? If it is, in which way? And does it have noice suppression?
i find hyperx cloud 2 to be way to sharp sounding. I think the epos has better positional accuracy and better sounding for competitive games/music in my opinion.
the H6 PRO Openback, once you get the memory foam or memory foam cooling pads make the headset way better! still don't understand why they still use those mediocre pads that they still used with the OG GSP500.
i assume it had to be because of tuning sound but the closed back had much softer pads
My H6 OPEN earmuffs have been moldy for less than 2 weeks~ Do you have any better solutions for moldy earmuffs?
i dont have the problem but maybe because i dont live in a humid environment?
what are you using to make this headset wireless i would love to know and how bad is the latency with the Bluetooth?
i’m using it only wired
@@ryanhostudio ohh I thought you had it wireless near the end of your video. 😁 Would you have any videos talking about a good bluetooth adapter for epos/sennheiser headphones with little to no latency?
Just ordered the open back by mistake. Oh well. Feel better hearing you say you prefer them to the closed.
its alot better so good thing you got open back instead haha
you mentioned comfort for closed are the open ones uncomfortable?
yeah they have softer leather pads for closed but stiffer ones for open
which is an good upgrade for the hyper x cloud alpha? do the open back have good bass compared to the alpha?
the epos h6 pro has good bass and is comparable to hyperx cloud alpha, i think the epos h6 pro might have slightly more bass actually
@@ryanhostudio ohh wow well thank you for your opinion Im gonna se if I buy them because I have an amazon coupon that makes them like 130 bucks. I heard these are like semi open backs instead of open backs like the p38x which I guess makes them have a good sub bass that most open backs don't have
What about thetye pc38x?
@@ryanhostudio does it have sub bass rumble though? Even though they are open?
Are the open backs pads swappable to the close back pads
yes they are
I wanna get the open backs but I'm worried a lot about audio leaking into the microphone causing an echo, does it happen ?
hasn’t happened for me i think it depends on how loud you are listening to music
I have the h6 pro open but the ear cups give me a little discomfort in the lower part of the ear. It's a real shame as the headphones sound very good. Do you think closed h6 pros have bigger or worse ear cups? Thanks in advance
earcups same size but pads are more comfortable on the closed
Thanks, then I'll try them
If you have the volume loud does it echo in the mic. Have you had any mic echo problems
i haven’t had that issue but i don’t listen to mine that loud maybe
Hi, would you recommend using this on the ps5? Does the quality still hold up on a ps5? Thanks!
it should work fine but I dont have a PS5 to try (im a PC Gamer)
I can confirm both close and open back version of the H6 pro works on the PS5 via the controller plug in or an amp using USB. The 3D audio also works. The sound quality is slightly better on the PC but for my personal use, I think it’s great. I am currently playing Elden Ring on the PS5 using the open back version and I find it to be very immersive for that game.
What can you say: what much better between razer blackshark v2 pro or epos h6 pro? Thank you
razer black shark has more treble but a little too much in my opinion makes things sound overly sharp like gunshots while epos h6 pro open has a little less treble making gunshots sound little less exaggerated. overall the directional accuracy and sense of distance of epos h6 pro is bigger and has a better tuning too in my opinion.
@@ryanhostudio TY, very much
can you change the earpads between the zwo versions?
yep
I would spend litle extra for Beyerdynamic MMX 300
So, Open Back Headset + Closed Back Earpads is the way?
probably for most comfort
i’ve been using the stock pads again and they still hard but maybe i loosen them up but i can tolerate it a little longer
How's the open back sound quality compared to gsp 500/550?
i tried gsp 600 and didn’t like them as much as epos h6 pro
how do they sound when listening to music?
the open back sounds great! could use a little bit more treble but overall fun
hey i just got these and im really dissapointed. The sound quality sounds so cheap. I just plugged them in my pc and thats it is there anything I can do to make them sound better?
plug them into your phone to see if they sound better, if they don’t maybe you just don’t like the way it sounds
Hi, I just picked up this headset today, but my mates say that they can hear my gameplay, youtube video etc, is there a fix?
i am very late.. but it was the open version right?
@@thermalXTX Nah closed
which one is best for music, open or closed?
open
Are the closed back ones good for music too?
they are okay very very bassy
I bought them for Christmas & I don't regret buying them, I was able to get them for 60$ cad open box too.
How do you re attach the h6pro earpads
just push them down, attach by clips on side
@@ryanhostudio ok thank man I thought I broke it
Is this worth it over the gsp 500?
if your going to buy one, than Epos H6 Pro is obvious choice because its basically the new and improved version of the GSP 500
It's all based on the pc38x so yes it was designed as a openback
technically it was based on the gsp 500 hence the cup shape
Whitch were also based on sinnhieser and the pc38x the styling is but the inners drivers tuing etc are all sinnhieser pc38x but thats irelivent as epos is now out of bussines as a gaming headphone maker they have given up amazon has the closed and openbacks on sale now uk usa 70£$ OR LESS due to them now being out of bussiness i recomend everyone grabs a set as there soon unavable if tou want identical performance ro the closed back the hs65 corsair sound and imaging is litterally identical but there so much lighter 280 g vs over 300.. Look hs65 has a bigger soundstage due to hollow cups almost openback level @@ryanhostudio
See your removing posts lol @@ryanhostudio epos h6pro is 28ohm s 42 mm drivers AS found in the pc38x They put that in a epos styled outer shell and angered the drivers and bass boosted the signature of the pc38x same drivers same ohms same openback semi on the epos not full... so semi vs full,open and bass boosted and angered hence the more fun more punchier but very simular sound to the pc38x 😊
How do you find the noise isolation of the H6 Pro, compared to most other gaming headphones?
are you talking about open or closed, because open isolates only slightly better than other opens but most closed backs will obviously isolate more
Is the noice cancelling good ?
you can listen to my mic test i think mic sounds clean
How can they be the same drivers as the GSP 500 & 600 when the frequency response for the GSP’s is 10hz to 30,000hz. H6’s are 20hz to 20,000hz. PC38X uses same drivers as GSP 500/600
because they state it on there website lol
It has to do with how they tune their headset. It is the same driver
does anyone know why the Closed Back version is like 8 to 10 bucks more on amazon? my best guess is either material usage or the earcups
i dont but appreciate your name tag
I prefer open because it makes you feel like you have no Headphones on.
yeah its nice!
I cannot beleive the hype around the H6 Pro's - they are not a good quality headphone by a long shot. I bought a pair and would rate them as one of the worst sounding headphones I have ever owned. Good headphones have a flat response across audible range. The H6pro have a massive bump of several dB in the upper base register which makes them sound forced and un-natural. The reason it's a problem is that if you turn them down to stop the bass overwhelming you can't hear the upper-mids and highs. A good quality headphone with a flat response would allow people to listen at much lower volume levels and actually hear more detail / information. The positional imaging from the H6 Pro while not great is acceptable and they are comfortable to wear, but that's just not enough to justify the cartoonish bass response and lack of detail. My old AKG K7's blow the H6Pro's away - and they were half the price.
Lol I’ll think I’ll listen to the dude who actually test them 😂😂
Swap the ear pads, they are removable............
i did try it but unfortunately it changes the sound
@@ryanhostudio what's sound did you get when you put the ear pads of the close back into open back?
Bassy and muddy instead of neutral and airy, I'd say about 15%-20%.
Also these headsets can use GSP earpads, because I tried the 601C pads on the H6Pro Open version and they clip in perfectly. I measured the cups against GSP 600 and surprisingly they match. I guess Epos keep the tooling the same and just slightly redesigned the headset body to be less bulky
I bought the open backs and I am so let down I can not believe it they sound very tinny with not much base at all very underpowered again so let down I also have a epos GPS 300 headset which is awesome its so much better than the h6 pro open backs and half the price I got my h6 pro open backs for £95 Which is an absolute bargain if they were any good but there not I'd be happy paying £50 no more but the GPS 300 is worth every penny and a brilliant headset puts the h6 open backs to shame me and two sons had the same opinion so these are going back I might give the h6 closed backs a chance
Did you ever try out the closed back's? How did you find the sound compared to the open backs?
Yes the closed backs are brilliant
Also I got a sound blaster x G6 dac that which was awesome improves the sound on both headsets making them both brilliant but still prefer closed it's got a better thump of base good luck
@@andys8702 awesome. cheers!
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 Dolby Atmos for headphones
I listen to your advise (and 100+ more reviewers too) and bought the Open back H6PRO.
For a reference I already own HD598, X2HR, MMX300, TYGR 300R, Cloud Alpha, Monoprice Retro, V-moda M100.
I find H6PRO Open to be one of the worst headphones that I have.
I am just a regular gamer not an audiophile guy.
I've tested the headphone on SoundBlaster G6, GSX 300, Fiio E10K.
Highs are too hight - for example in CSGO on cs_office - when I go shoot some windows or shoot some teammate bot in the head - the sound is so harsh that it hurts. Strange that only for specific sounds it is harsh but overall the sound quality is very bad.
If I lower the volume - it changes the sound dramatically and also with a lower volume I cannot hear the footsteps.
In the Battlefield games again sound is so bad that it lose the magic of the beautiful music/audio in the game.
I've tried different cables and different computers.
Maybe the closed back may be different but I don't think so.
From all of my headphones I like HD598 for music, TYGR for casual games and Monoprice Retro for the epic bass when I want fun.
I wanted a headset for footsteps but this is so bad that I think to return it.
Idk how everyone say it is good .. maybe mine is deffective.
It is so strange, cause if I listen to music it sounds not so bad as in games.
thanks for sharing!
Can I ask your opinion between h6 pro (closed) and mmx300?
I am coming from sennheiser hd599s, but I have to switch to a closed headset because of noise problems :(. Having to use them purely for listening to music and gaming, from your experience which one is better (I would also be interested in comfort and noise isolation)?
@@sngcelebi7040 So.. h6pro closed I use only for footsteps in csgo/R6. When you come from the sound HD598/599 to the H6PRO it will feel like you are scammed. But for footsteps and positioning is the best ... like wall hack (but only the closed one). I have Monoprice Retro which are closed and are fun for game in battlefield for the huge .. epic amount of bass but the HD598 have better sound but still Retros are not bad at all and are like 29$ :). I also have Denon 7200 second hand (about 325 euro) which sounds perfect with deep bass and it is closed back but have some comfort issues. I bought also Harmonic Zeus (open back) it has simillar sound like HD598 but I dont like it so much. I am thinking to buy Audizie Penrose or HyperX Cloud Orbit S which are closed. Also fI think to buy HD660s for an upgrade of my HD598 cause I love them. After I am having like 10 headphones I appriciate how good the HD598 actualy are.
@@sngcelebi7040 About the difference between H6pro closed and mmx300 - the sound of MMX300 is superb - the h6pro closed feels like trash. BUT I think you need to EQ some of the treble of the MMX300 cause it is too much. This was the reason I bought Beyer TYGR 300 R (open) which is crystal clear like MMX300 but with less treble harsh.
@@andreydoichinov1683 Thank you so much for your analysis!
I think I have a clearer idea now, just one last question. How do the mmx300s perform for fotsteps and positioning?
If they perform well, I think I will go for these.
"This headphone" The correct grammar would be "These Headphones"
These are stiff as fuck i have the open back version, i dont get it all these youtubers praising these. They just seem overpriced to me, i came from hyperx cloud which had much better sound and comfort.
i have the same problem, with the glasses they are unusable. Perhaps the closed version is more comfortable to wear
that scares me, I tried the hyperx cloud and I could not believe how terrible sound it produced. it is impossible that a sennheiser product would be worse than that...I hope you are wrong or mistaken something
