From there, utter simplicity takes hold. There are exactly zero buttons on the H6PRO and instead any connection with the online world is delivered from an elongated boom mic that swings up and down whenever it is required, muting and placed neatly out of the way over the left cup. There’s only a teeny bit of flex in this mic too, but the length that EPOS have put in ensures that it’s pretty much always in a prime position for party and game chat. Plus, this doesn’t scream ‘gamer headset’ – unlike the Logitech G733. The design is mature and the metal material gives this headset a bit of weight; I wouldn’t expect this headset to break for a long time.

Maybe I received a bad copy, but, I did have to return these for this reason - 1 star removal for this. It just got very uncomfortable when trying to compensate for the volume and made the audio experience seem cheaper than the asking price of this item.The entire H6PRO is very neat and tidy, in fact. It feels extremely well-made in hand, and while primarily plastic, there's a metal headband running through the top of the leatherette-clad band that offers plenty of flex should you be a bit rough with it. To really up the audio game, you can pair the headset with an EPOS Audio headphone amp ( GSX300 , GSX1000 , or GSX1200Pro ) for improved audio quality, additional controls, and connecting to one of these items will make your PC recognize the headset as its own device. The Audio While it's not massively dissimilar to the GSP 300 headset above, the GSP 500 does manage to distinguish itself in some key areas. First, the microphone is excellent. Really excellent. As soon as I started using it, my teammates commented on the quality and clarity of it. Huge thanks go out to EPOS for sending us the H6PRO headset for unboxing and review. If you wish to grab the headset for yourself, get over to EPOS direct. La spatialisation est très bonne, on distingue très bien le positionnement et l'espace ressenti est très large, on ne se sent pas dans une bulle.

Once upon a time, Sennheiser made excellent headsets for gaming that looked more sophisticated than their RGB-daubed cousins and sounded like they’d been made by a long-established pro audio company - funny, that. Then EPOS took over those lines and refreshed them with an eye on repositioning them juuust slightly more towards the lifestyle market. Build: Better than my hd58x, they have a metal band and the plastic is a brushed finish instead of a cheap shiny finish like my 58x Our in-house gamers put the H6PRO to the test and came out with a few helpful notes and tips that will ensure your set up is a breeze and you're getting the best experience possible out of your new H6PRO. For testing purposes, we used a PC. Setup: One thing about this magnetically-attached mic design though: If you aren't careful while lifting the mic up to mute, you can pretty easily pull it off, which could be bad news in a heated battle with friends. It took me a few days of regular use to get used to this, but eventually it wasn't a major issue. Audio Performance of the Epos H6ProOverall, besides the differences with each variant that’ll come down to personal preference, there’s very little to complain about when it comes to the H6Pro’s sound design. It’s simply one of the best in this department at its mid-range price point. The design is similar to the 300s, sure, but the build quality is also great and worthy of the price tag; it's excellently solid, robust, and clamps to your head and ears incredibly comfortably. Even the suede-y ear cups are lovely. And on top of that, you of course get premium Sennheiser audio quality to go with it.

Mon usage : consoles et PC pour les jeux et films/séries. Le micro est d'une qualité exemplaire, comme toujours avec Epos/Sennheiser. La possibilité de l'enlever complètement (c'est magnétique) apporte un petit confort supplémentaire quand on n'en a pas besoin et la fixation est fiable. Meanwhile, the open headset allows noise to enter the headset while you’re gaming, so you can still hear what’s happening around you, with EPOS saying it’s better for cinematic gaming. Sound quality and microphone Thus, if you're really keen to get some Sennheiser audio quality into your setup but can't stretch to the larger price tags of the more premium headsets, then the GSP 300 is the right choice. Its compatibility with every device is a major plus, while it retains the Sennheiser excellence in audio (detailed sound, excellent surround/directional accuracy, and great overall richness). Its microphone is good too, though this won't be great for mobile players or for the commute as the mic is non-detachable and a little wobbly on the design front. The latter being a little weak point on the headset overall, actually, as it feels a bit wobbly in the hands.Long, drawn-out gaming sessions aren’t a hassle at all with these thanks to their generously padded, well-spaced ear cups and they present an overall build that’s solid and definitely built to last. First off there is a key bit of housekeeping to make you aware of: Sennheiser headsets will now be sold under the EPOS brand name. After a de-merger in 2020, the products were sold under the 'EPOS | Sennheiser' mantle, but now, if you're looking for a Sennheiser gaming headset, you'll actually be purchasing an EPOS gaming headset in the end. Do not let this put you off in any way, however: the Sennheiser quality and reputation remain, and is enhanced through EPOS's input. As a result, some of these models are still - and will become - some of the best gaming headsets. Having an audio profile of such clarity means the H6Pro is a fantastic headset for gaming, too. Wearing a top-notch headset is a great way to improve your online multiplayer experience, as they can help you become more aware of your surroundings by highlighting distant footsteps, vehicles and gunshots. I found this to be the case in PUBG: Battlegrounds. Over in Gran Turismo 7 , the H6Pro helped me listen out for rival motorists trying to cut me off at the apex, and I was able to defend my position much more effectively as a result. It's worth noting that while they do come with an in-built microphone, this only works when you’re connected through Bluetooth - not the USB-C dongle. That’s because the dongle is focused on providing low-latency audio, so there is minimal disruption between what’s happening in your game and what you’re hearing. However, it does mean that you won’t be able to communicate with team-mates online. The H6PRO is a brand new (as of October 7th, 2021) premium gaming headset for the discerning gamer that appreciates precise, high performance audio matched with lightweight comfort for long gaming sessions. It delivers exceptional audio clarity and immersion through passive isolation, a crisp detachable mic, and a lightweight feel. When developing this new model, EPOS took great care to ensure the H6PRO had all of the refinements appreciated by a serious gamer.
