Verdictĭespite being a wired analog headset, the H6Pro Open surprised me with its clean, natural sound. This can be partially resolved by loosening the headband, but by doing so, it falls off easily when moving your head around too much. After several hours of use, I could feel a clear strain on the top of my head, partly due to the headset’s weight and clamping. So all thumbs up for EPOS’ latest offering, then? Unfortunately, no.Īs with many headsets I’ve tested over the past years, comfort leaves to desire during longer sessions. The detachable lift-to-mute microphone is pretty good, one of the better ones I tested in this price range, and background noises are filtered out well.

I would advise only using headsets like the H6Pro Open in quiet at-home settings. Due to the nature of open-back headsets, sound isolation, however, is worse compared to regular closed-back headsets, and everyone around you will hear what you’re listening to and vice versa. The soundscape is rich with plenty of separation. The “open” back earcups of the H6 Pro OpenĪs for the audio quality that it offers, being an open-back headset, it provides a more natural, warm sound than closed-back headsets in this segment. Also, not having to wait for the wireless transmitter to connect to the headset or having to worry about battery life at all eases the mind. Granted, there are wireless USB-C headsets available that are compatible with multiple platforms, but in general, these don’t work on both PlayStation and Xbox consoles (except for the SteelSeries Arctis 7X). Being a multi-platform gamer who also uses headsets for work, I truly embraced this headset’s versatility. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that EPOS outing has become my favorite headpiece, but the versatility across multiple platforms and audio quality that it offers is outstanding.Īs said, the H6Pro works with anything that sports a 3.5mm audio jack, including smartphones, PC/Mac, Nintendo Switch, PS5/PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Yet, I have to confess that the H6Pro has grown on me. Over the years, the audio quality and range of wireless headsets have vastly improved, and this also applies to the batteries inside them with some offering more than 30 hours of playtime on a single charge. In all honesty, I’m not too fond of wired headsets due to the lack of freedom while wearing them. Recon 500 Headset Review – Reconnecting You With Your Audio Performance & comfort Overall, EPOS’ offering feels solidly built with a premium look and works on basically anything with a 3.5mm audio jack, adding to the versatility of this headset. Aside from the detachable, lift-to-mute, magnetic microphone, and innovative volume weel, the H6Pro doesn’t come with any bells and whistles – EPOS’ outing only sports a 3.5mm audio jack, and there’s no wired USB option.
