    this is my first pair of open back headphones after only ever using closed back. Really like the non-compressed feeling during conference calls. the only downside to the Open back version is the ear pads they use. I much prefer the ear pads from the closed back, so I ordered a replacement pair of the closed back to use on my open back. And they fit no problem. the feel is now perfect and also it stays clearer. the felt ones get dirty fast. However they can be cleared easily.

    • @aleksei8884
      @aleksei8884 2 роки тому +9

      ​@@yarmgl1613 Well I gotta say the sound quality on the Artcis was slightly better, and the wireless feature of the Arctis were awesome, great connectivity, even over longer distances, never had any issues. Arctis also had more of a "premium" feel to them. And the feature of being recognized as two separate outputs where you could have discord/music playing through one and a game through the other was interesting but I never really used it. I have only used my Arctis with my PC but it could be a big deal being able to connect it to two different devices (for example a phone for communication and the game on your console at the same time)
      That being said, I love the H6Pro's simplicity, they just get the job done, they are lighter and have a bigger ear cup which I appreciate, no discomfort while wearing glasses whatsoever even over long periods. So I prefer them in terms of comfort. If I had to choose between the two I would personally go for H6Pros. Trying out the Arctis was great, but the docking station (which was fun at first) just kind of takes up space on the desk. and I find out that I really don't need all those extra features of the Arctis which were a bit of an overkill for me, and I can live without the wireless connection. And in terms of the sound quality, the Arctis may be slightly better, but I have never felt like I'm missing out, the H6pros still provide a great sound in movies, music and gaming and for a lower price.
      I enjoy their easy plug-in and play character which is all I really look for in a headset these days.

    I have the pc38x, and one thing i would LOVE that they would fix. Is the 90 degree 3.5mm needs to be straight. I constantly have to shift that stupid thing around in my controllers. Because it gets in the way. Needs to be a straight connection 100%.
    A side note. I bought a pop filter for my pc38x. To slip over it. And the mic performs much better with one. This Epos sounds similar, and would benefit from a slip on pop filter of some kind.

    My guess is EPOS made these because they got tired of the average consumer buying badly tuned gaming headset from other brands so they decided to make their own and while better than the X3 for competitive gaming, they're still bad for that, the pc38x is better in almost every way as they are actually sort of tuned similarly to the hd560s while these aren't.

      @@boogie4195 PC38X no question. I'll copy paste a longer comment I posted elsewhere: I had a set of Astros that broke and was in the market for another set of gaming headphones. I picked up the Drop+EPOS PC38X and then got a pair of these to compare to them. the H6Pro doesn't hold a candle to the PC38X in terms of detail and accuracy. Seems like the soundstage is much less wide, while it has more bass it is often muddier depending on what you're listening to. If you listen to music at all it's a complete no brainer toward the PC38X. I will say though that the H6Pro really has a quite premium feel to it from a build standpoint vs the more studio/professional grade feel of the Drop set. So credit where it's due. The H6Pro also might be the most comfortable headset I've ever tried on. Those huge, deep, ear shaped cups are just so great. But it seems I'm a velour or nothing guy because even the cloth on the H6Pro heated up for me too much after a while. The clamping force is much less than the PC38X as well. I feel like my ears just barely fit within the cups on the PC38X (and I don't even have large ears). I honestly wish I could just have H6Pro headphones (but with velour cups) that sound like the PC38X do because it might be the best of both worlds.
      If you are buying headphones that will be for gaming, watching movies, listening to music, etc. as an all-in-one for your device, I'd say it's not even close and the PC38X blows the H6Pro away. But audio is also a very subjective thing which is why people audition loudspeakers. All of our ears and brains are different. Bottom line is that save for very specific audio that you want to be very bass focused, there are better options out there for your money. To me it seems like the money went into design here with the sound lacking whereas that PC38X the money went into the sound and the design is very utilitarian as a result. So pick your priority.

I will say the H6Pro is gorgeous but like I said, the sound is much more important for me than the look. The PC38X may be less comfortable depending on your needs. I like the velour as mesh and fake leather get way too hot on my ears. The cups on the H6 are nicer though like I mentioned. The PC38X has a bit more clamping force I think, but I've been told that you can get that to mellow out by putting it on a headphone stand or yoga block or something for a while.

      @Troels-Rasmussen 2 роки тому +10

      A lot of manufacturers are moving away from the super wide frequency resonse measurement as it doesn't really shows anything about sound quality as long as the frequency is a better range than human hearing. Human hearing is typically 20 - 20.000 Hz. (Most adults cant hear higher than 17kHz), so the question is.. Sound quality should instead be measured in how well it plays in the frequency range.
      Its "great" to see a lot of manufacturers making headsets that go up to 40.000 Hz... I am sure bats and dolphins will be super happy about their hearing being supported. :D

    I'm looking for a comfy headset+mic for long conference calls on Zoom and Teams. Not gaming. Your typical conference headsets are terrible on comfort so I started checking out gaming products instead. Seems logic. By looking at the review the closed version of the H6 Pro 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. But when I started to discover the downsides with the lesser audio quality on the closed version I fell back into frustration cause the open version doesn't come with the same comfy ear pads as the closed one does. Should I be looking at other products all together for my purpose? Can't stand bad ear pads. EPOS don't ship separate pads to my country either so feels like a dead end.
