Was looking at these last night and now there is a review! Great timing!
Im surprised no one commented on how the green version essentially uses the same colour scheme as master chief. Just in time for halo infinite
Right ! That’s why I got them 😭
Color scheme made me think of Aston Martin but yeah I can see the MC take as well
This is a darker green.
Well it reminds me of ducks
I just got mines today and love it! The design and color is something different which I like
Open back, the Sennheiser drop PC38X is my go to. Open back is my preferred choice.
If close back is needed to not disturb anyone around me or to block out outside noise, the Sennheiser epos H6 Pro what I reach for.
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.
I was thinking about doing this exact thing. Do the closed ear pads change the sound on the open back headset at all? Can you still hear yourself and your surroundings well?
@@Juice_VI I only used the old ear pads for a few weeks so I didn't experience much of a change when I changed to the closed back pads. And yes, can still hear my surroundings as well as before.
Where'd you buy the replacement ear pads?
@@timnguyen4211 from the EPOS website directly. Took maybe 1-2 weeks to arrive once ordered
@@thecageybee Ah thanks.
As far as sound quality goes would you say these are better than the GSP 670's or do the 670's hold up well compared to these?
You gained a Sub, love the content man, keep it up!! Made my decision thanks to you!
switched to these after using the arctis pro wireless for about 2 years. still getting used to the open version of the headset but I like to hear whats happening around me while maintaining great sound quality. Yet to try gaming with these but loving them so far
how well does it compare the the arctis pro?
@@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.
@@aleksei8884 thanks for the mini review :p
how about the Hybrid H3s? any chance of a comparison?
How is the construction? Is there more metal on the bits connecting the band to the cup? My GSP 600s cracked at the side (the clips) that hold the headphones to the band. Plastic in a spot where flexing is going to occur is a terrible design decision.
How do these compare to the Beyerdynamic MX300? I am considering replacing my Corsair Virtuoso with one of these two. Thanks!
Do you have to get the external sound card or will it work well just plugging it straight into the PC?
Plugged the H6Pro open back to the SXFI output on my Katana V2 and OH MY... this thing is immersive AF! It gets even crazier if you turn on scout mode.
Isn't the SXFI output USB? Or do you mean you plugged it in via aux on the front and turned on SXFI. Would love to know as I own a Katama V2 and am looking forward to buying an H6 pro
And headphone can be usbed lol 😂😂😂@@ErmirsArt
How do you set to hear clearly for footstep with the sound card on warzone? I can’t hear well for close range but good on long range
Hi, is there any way to tell them to make a version of this in PURE BLACK like in their GSP 302 or Sennheiser PC37x?
Would you say its better than the razer blackshark v2?
u should do a review video on the recon 200 gen 2
My Cherry Red Corsair VOID ELITE just bit the dust.. well just the mic and I am looking to replace with a mic that can work on both PC and console and I think this is it. Thanks!
Are these the upgrade of the Sennheiser gsp 550? If so, the cable of the H6pro does works with the gsp550?
I need a new cable asap because mine just stopped working...
How do these compare to the PC38X's?? Trying to decide between these and those.
How is the mic noise cancelling ? Like when I’m typing on a keyboard for example
How big are the ears compared to the pc37x (if you’ve seen / had them before)
i was searching for a new headset how would you compare it to the Logitech g 433
How does this compare to the Sennheiser PC38x wired headset? It's really popular.
How does this compare to the MMX 300?
Wait so which one is good mic quality wise? (Cuz I have a fan in the background) the open or closed version?
just got my hands on epos h6 pro open version.. The best headset i've used so far, soundwise and comfortwise. But if you guys dont like hearing your sorroundings and want to be more imersive i would go with the closed version for sure. Big thumbs up
mine isnt working so well no matter where or how i plug it in the right ear only works and is very quiet and i downloaded the software and it says i have no devices
Your device might be faulty. If you bought it recently you should return or replace it@@danielsarchive0
Might be that because you have a weak output, you should give it a try with a DAC.
@@danielsarchive0im having this exact same problem
@@d1dici i got bad news for u i never found out how to fix it and had to buy a new headset, i now have the steel series arctis 7 plus pro or smt i forgot the name
love the olive/gold color 😍
Great sound. Couple of issues for me tho. I have the H6pro. Plug them in and PC didn’t recognize them. I downloaded gaming suite and EPOS connect and nothing. Meanwhile, the headphones work and sound great. Just not easy plug and play. Also, the mic drops down and you hear the click that it’s on but can’t hear your voice in the earphones. Weird
Anyone know if GSX300 soundcard elevates this headphone to the next level or it's not worth the cost? thanks!
My main concern is how durable is the one arm connecting the headband and the ear part.
I don't think the arm will break. If anything, I'd be more concerned about the joints that the arm slots into.
In my experience, joints are usually the thing to break in headsets.
If I get a hyperx quadcast s along with speakers, will it catch the speakers audio? I'm seeing some people with speakers not catching the speaker audio
What would you say to these vs beyerdynamics 300mmx? Anyone comment.
How can i save my Eq setting for Ps5? for some reason it doenst change on console when in changing the Eq in Epos gaming suite.
Great review bud
still on a quest for a wireless headset with studio mic .. at least as good as the index.
Just got my hand on the closed back ones. Love them! Playing warzone and rainbow, sounds great can really hear the footsteps. Coming from the PC38x, I prefer my H6. I just can’t go open back, I have a noisy environment and hate the sound leak. I use them on my PS5 controller and laptop. Music sounds great, too!
damn are they this good? I play CS:GO and need a good headset for footsteps
@@santeenlgreat headset, not the greatest for footsteps. Sennheiser game zero and cooler master mh751/2 are better if all you want is footstep audio
@@Assaultpr0 Already bought it, it's decent :) Game Zero is downgrades all over.
@@santeenl how are those H6Pro's for you? At the moment, I am looking for a headphones/headset for my music and, sometimes, gaming needs. Can you please share your experience with music and gaming? Thanks in advance:)
@@santeenlI just got them. I feel they are that good. I’ll tell you this, they blow the steelseries nova 3, 7, and 9s out of the water in every single way, at least in terms of audio, mic, and mic monitoring.
Do these high-end wireless headsets have batteries that needs to reload?
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.
is the audio from opened version headphones noticeable when you listening music or playing games? Open back vs closed back? I should use it in office.
Open back do spill sound out so if you're in a quiet office the closed back would be preferable.
For some reason when I got mine I plugged them in and the mic sounded terrible and wouldn’t pick up my voice any tips?
Please help me out here, I'm trying to find out if I need to buy their DAC or if I can purchase the one I really want. I understand for a fact, I need- theirs so I can use their software suite, though is that really necessary? I will want to upgrade to a greater quality headset eventually, but my friend gave me these and I simply spotted him for shipping. Will any good DAC give me the quality, or do I need theirs?
how long are the 3.1 jacks?
Even though this channel doesn't get much likes, it is amazing!
thanks, Josh!
No noise reduction test with the mic?
Very well shot. My Astros broke so I bought a pair of PC38X last week and am eager to see how these compare to them when they arrive this week.
Which one do you recommend between the pc38x and the h6pro? Looking to get either one these for black Friday.
@@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.
@@TheBucketOfTruth Thank you for your input, my main concern about the PC38X is one, the availability (Can't get it in stores in my country) and the comfortability. But I heard nothing but good from the H6PRO open-back.
@@boogie4195 Can you get it from Amazon? The black one is $139 right now from them or Drop. The Yellow one is $119 on Drop's site, though it's a bit uglier. 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. It isn't enough to bother me over multiple hour gaming sessions.
@@TheBucketOfTruth I don't know. Is drop based in US, with US pricing? Cause my budget is 200 AUD, there's not much of a discount for the PC38X cause I have to pay tax. I can get the EPOS H6PRO for 179 AUD or 120 US.
HELP, This or mmx150 Beyerdynamic? Cant decide 😕
How do I set up these headphones on an Xbox Series X?
Does it feel like it needs the gsx300 to work?
i love mine i just wish they were louder i noticed them being on the quiet side but overall great headset
its the power output thats the problem, plug into a desktop or a headphone amp
Is this using the sound card from Epos?
So can you connect to xbox and PC?
does it support dolby atmos?????
how long is the cable?
How do I maximize my eq settings using with Xbox x ?
what mic stand is that?
anybody notice the mic ipnut is low? people allways tell me i need to turn my mic up and i have everthing maxed out.
This headset works for warzone can you hear footsteps?
Great video! I bought both the open and close back versions of the H6 pro and I absolutely prefer the open back for gaming.
Why ? Whats the explanation ? I see most comments say that but most reviews say buy the cloae for ummersion
Same
anyone know if it's compatible with glasses
How does the closed back version compare to the game one? I'm trying to decide which one to get
The Game One is an open back headset and this is a closed back headset. A better comparison would be the Game Zero, which is the same as Game One, but closed back.
Super review.
Would it pay to upgrade to theese over the GSP 500/600's?
That's one thing I'm considering, love the sound detail of my gsp500's but after a few hours use the headband does get uncomfortable.
If the h6 are the same drivers I will definitely consider the change purely for the comfort factor.
BUT, I have noted the sound range for the h6's is less than gsp's. I don't know how this would affect audio quality.
It could be a downgrade, I just don't know. If anyone else has any experience with both headsets then please do share.
Get the PC38X. Same drivers as the GSP500 but far more comfortable
I had the GSP670 and they were terrible. Too bulky, too top heavy and super uncomfortable for me. They actually broke less than a year of ownership and I returned them for something else (two year warranty). They sounded fine and mic was good but heaps of interference and cut outs. Haven’t tried these h6 pro’s but I reckon they’d be good
I went a very different route, bit the bullet and bought a pair of Beyerdynamic tygr's and fitted a modmic.
Best headset I've ever owned or heard hands down.
no wireless version?
This one or Astro A40?
How do you plug into Xbox x series
I bought the open back Sebring h6pro yesterday. Love the fit, very comfortable and light. Mic is great and sounds really good on Xbox series X
I am still thinking about which one to get for my Xbox Series X. I am still between the open or closed version. How is the sound volume for you on the open back? Is it loud enough? Which games did you play with it and how was your impression?
@@ThaMobstarr sound is good, I play warzone a lot, I've got Dolby Atmos turned on, with the performance setting and I can easily hear where people are. The volume is fine, I cant play at full volume as it's too loud for me. I'd say I'm at full volume on the console, and the headset I'm at about 3/4.
@stickygecko does the mic pick up breathing or background noise very easily? I have this problem with the px38x
@@jfigs2859 I don't think so, there's a review on CZcams where a guy does mic checks with things on in the background. My old mic/ headset picked everything up, but no one complained about back ground noise with this. I'll find the video
@@ThaMobstarr im debating the same thing! I don't know which version to get. I play on pc
These or the H3s ? And what mix amp you pairing with it
I'm on the razor Blackhawk v2 pros just want to pair with mix amp but can't with the wireless version
heyyy... I just bought this H6pro closed.... really awesome..... only downside... its cable a little too short.. just ordered extension cable for it
Great point. The cable is shorter than most. Not a problem for my current setup but when I upgrade my home office,I'll have to get an extension as well
I find that the cables don't last long. Maybe a couple months then the crackling starts. The rubberized ones are better than the braided.
Love the review. My question is, budget aside do you prefer this or the corsair HS80 in terms of everything you know and have covered on your reviews?
I too would love to know this!
LoadedPanic782 Have you made an decision yet?
@@nicok. Sorry for the late reply but I went with the HS80 to experience the wireless headset world since my past headsets had been wired.
@@Velocity3 Good point. However, I'm still getting the Corsair HS80 is because it is my first WIRELESS headset that I'm trying. If it doesn't work out for me then I'll go for the H6Pro. Thanks for the response.
@@Gr4v3Kn1ght I bought the HS80 3 days ago and returning it. It’s a great wireless headphone but it just doesn’t give me the feeling that a wired headset would give. Idk if it’s because I was so used to how good the Astro 40s with the amps were but too much back ground noises come for the Corsair. Great microphone though. I’ll be buying the closed H6 pro and trying them out
I notice my mic picks up sound from the open backed version... How do I fix that?
jusr tapes the holes on your open back problem solves
Bought mine from amazon, is there an app I need to install? It doesn’t really sound good.
Did you ever figure that out?
I bought the closed back version of these and it feels like my ears are in a vaccuum, which I'm not accustomed to and makes me feel sweaty! These are also very clampy headphones, with this slightly painful pressure on the top of the head that I'm super aware of throughout the day. I might exchange these for the open back version, or go with something that looks more comfortable like the SHP9500.
I got the open backs and they’re amazing no regrets
@@techp0p in games, the sound has changed a lot compared to closed or not. I’m thinking about buying such headphones, but I’m playing again in fps games like valorant, pubg and at first I thought about buying a closure, but they write that in closed ones the sound is worse compared to open ones and now I don’t know what to take when I play only fps games and sometimes I listen to music
@@bonater8815 Do you have a way to try both? If yes, I would advise doing that - I personally found the open backs better though
@@bonater8815 look into Arctis, if they are not to your taste.
Which has better imaging for footsteps, this or the pc38x?
Theyre almost identical in audio characteristics, to the point one over the other is going to make zero difference in any game. Just pick the one most comfortabe / looks nicest if thats your two options youre choosing between
@@PantsaBear Not at all what all the reviews say about the two that's out now.
Hd6pro better for footsteps and fps games. Pc38x better for open world games or a more naturally tuned experience.
In confort, what is the most confortable?
Close or Open? Thank You
I am 2 years late.. but open is more comfortable
Just got these for Series X. I used them with a Steel Series dac. Returned them. Made my outer ears sore and didn’t sound as good as a pair of Logitech headphones I use. I really wanted to like them but just didn’t work for me.
Hey! I ordered the H6pro closed back yesterday. Is it necessary to buy an amp aswell if you want even better sound? I was thinking about getting the GSX 300 to go with them but I’m honestly not sure, what are your thoughts?
Hi, I can't really say for certain but if you have a really good motherboard that has a good audio chip you shouldn't need to worry. I have a Asus B550 motherboard and have no issues with needing a Amp or Dac. Maybe if you're not happy with the sound or want a little bit more then maybe try one. Don't get one for the sake of it.
@@sullenova Thanks a lot for the reply, and the solid advice, it’s arriving tomorrow so I’ll see what I think of it. I’m pretty sure that a amp shouldn’t be needed since my motherboard is only 2 years old. But I’ll try it out tomorrow! Do you have this headset yourself? If yes, do you have the open or closed version? And what do you think of it? :)
I don’t have one but I’ve got a HyperX cloud 2 headset and wondered the same thing a while back.
@@sullenova I see I see, I have a cloud 2 right now, but after 5 years it’s time for a replacement ;P I’m not still sure if I want to go for the hyperx cloud alpha S or this headset, the H6
@@linusdanielsson5448 Hi what did you get? I had the cloud 2 and the cloud alpha (the one before the S version launch) while cloud 2 is comfortable and durable I can not say the same about the same about the alphas. I would not recommend to go with the alphas at all. I had also a PC37x which is good but I would liko to try the H6pro open.
7:27 for the mic test
No info on the driver size on the tech sheet, and also looks like it has a narrower frequency response compared to the GSP600.
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
Driver size is 42mm
Best looking hwadphones in my book
should i buy the h6pro or the gsp600 if they cost the same
Ive used the gsp600 for a Few years pretty happy but now im getting the h6pro (its newer a'd better i think) i have the headphones in 3 days
just got some and it sounds like im underwater. Is there a way to fix it?
just get out of the water
I have them with the GSX300 soundcard. I boosted the Bass and the volume and now they are sooo great. Without, i wouldnt recommend it.
how did you configure it cause in the epos app it doesnt show up
@@vicentelopes4674 What is not showing up?
I bought the open back and paired with my Sennheiser GSX1000 . Best combo headset I've ever own.
Did you buy the open or closed back because I'm thinking of getting the same setup.
@@slimbo689 open back.
I plan to buy an audio interface to make a streaming setup and I also want to buy a new pair of headphones. My question is do you think those will do better than a pair of studio headphones like DT990 Pro or HD560S considering that in all case the headphone will be plugged in into the audio interface? My goal is to hear footsteps better on a game like Warzone. Thank you very much!
No. The HD6 Pros are not voiced for monitoring, mixing, or music. They barely cut it for gaming due to the cartoonish bass handling and lack of upper mid and high frequency detail.
Dt990Pro's are good but they are overkill and require a very expensive amp to do their best work.
Can anyone comment on how bad the sound leakage is, there doesn't seem to be any examples. Id be looking to use them in the office environment for calls and music. I could get the closed but already own Beyerdynamic DT1770 Pro and not convinced I need a second closed pair
The H6pro has very poor quality sound - especially if you have experienced products like the DT1770 Pro. Listening to music on the H6pro is not good as the cartoonish bass bleeds through the entire mix - sounding like a speaker with a blanket or rug thrown over it. if you like lots of compression and slow flabby bass though you might like them - but I can't imagine anyone who owns DT1770 Pro's being in that camp.
@@tdunster2011Recently put a nice stereo in my car that puts this headset to shame, oh wait what? That isn't relevant? I thought we were just saying irrelevant BS nobody asked about. It's almost like it's a gaming headset which the one you mention is not, hence having more bass. Also, almost like the one you mentioned is nearly 3x the price of these.
I hate people that gatekeep products of all things, let alone ones from an entirely different market. What a clown.
Can someone tell me how they perform compared to the Sennheiser Game One?
Same queastion. I have my G4ME ONE boulght in 2014 and they are still doing well, just want something new )))
@@lserezhkin Daamn and they are still holding up from 2014?? I think I had like 5 headsets in that timeframe because they all broke.
@@ThaMobstarr hmm.. I had to fix the volume knob on the right ear cup once, and replaced the cable 4-5 times. That's basically it, nothing happened to the sound and mic quality.
I have the same question. I love my game ones, but the mic on mine finally kicked the bucket and my volume knob broke so its starting to look a bit rough lol
No USB / digital connection? This are more expensive then my Steelseries but remaining with a 3.5mm audio jack is a turn off for me. But damn they look great.

someone help!!😂 i’m desperate!
so i don’t know much about any of this stuff but i’m searching for a christmas gift for my boyfriend and i’m stuck. he has a turtle beach headset right now that’s over 4 years old but i’m not sure what type or anything. he plays fortnite every day, and i’m trying to find a headset. does anyone know if all of these would be better than what he has?? i’m looking at the Beyerdynamic MMX 150 or EPOS H6Pro but i don’t want to get something that’s downgrading or the same if that makes sense 😭 please anyone help!!
I picked up a set of these at Best Buy for $100 cause they were on sale. They lasted a day before the left speaker started crapping out. Sounded good while they worked. I'm just gonna stick with my Arctis Nova Pros
Hope you returned. Best buys return policy is pretty easy going

Could this be used for VR
Every headphone can be used for VR
I have these. Worth every penny
They’re going to be at my desk for the foreseeable future!
@@9to5toys Can you do you top three headset under 200$ or something similar. You review alot of amazing headsets I would love your personal take on how you would rank them
Do you use a mix amp with these ?
Which ones did you get? Open or closed?
once these become wireless im in
I got these to use with my laptop, really happy with the sound quality! Only issue I'm having is that the headset is somehow using my laptops audio in addition to the mic as an input, so when I'm in discord calls people can hear my pc sounds. Anyone else have that?
The headset is using your pc audio in addition? How is that possible tho? Look into your sound configuration and discord configuration
Your mic sensitivity is too high, not using using laptop audio and the headset at the same time.
@@NyteStalker89 it was a very strange issue, even when I flipped up the mic to mute those who I am talking to could still hear my computer audio as if I was sharing it. I verified trying to talk while it was supposedly muted but they could not hear me... The problem spontaneously fixed though, so that was nice.
Oh man... this issue is so widespread still? I remember once getting a Sennheiser gaming headset back in the day and it bled through as well. Now I also have experience with the HyperX Cloud Alpha, ALSO having this bleed through issue...
It's definitely faulty and needs replacement. Something's wrong with the wire/connector that causes this issue.
man...i rly hate mic leak
I’m looking for a new wired headset and I’m leaning towards these, but $180 is a bit much for wired
When considering a headset in this price range, it's typically based on the sound and build quality rather than connectivity. These most likely have a better microphone and driver quality than wireless headset in the same price range.
@@phlask1 yes, but when comparing to other wired headsets I’m not sure if the $180 price tag is justified. Maybe $130 instead
It's a bit much, wired or not. Let's hope for a black Friday discount :)
Are these better than anything from Steel Series, Logitech and HyperX? Like the Arctis Nova Pro/Arctis Nova 7P, the Logitech G Pro X wireless, the HyperX Cloud 2 wireles. Any non biased people in the comments that can give me a straight answer I’d really appreciate it. I’ve tried the arctis nova’s and the hyper x(wired) I’m playing on PS5 and this 200+ dollar headset from steel series is letting me down in competitive games. Granted it could be the game but I’m not so sure.
So Arctis is not good at competitive FPS?
most people say they’re one of the best if not the best for PlayStation and I just did not find that to be the case. I had the Arctis Nova 7P, and I struggled terribly in Warzone, but when I plugged in my old ass wired HyperX clouds I instantly had better awareness, and I played better. I found myself using this cheap wired headset over the $180 wireless Nova’s. That’s my experience, yours might be different, I wanted to like them they just didn’t perform for me. They look cool, they’re comfortable, the wireless works great, they probably have better media performance like with music and movies, but in game they were not good to me, my old PS4 cheap headset was better, I consistently played better with them.

Trying these now but my only complaint is that braided cable rubs on my shirt and it's drives me crazy
Have you found a workaround? I've heard others say there are 3rd party cable replacements available but I haven't found any
try rolled the cable in your D
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.
Idk much ab any of this, but I've seen a lot of people say the epos and the pc38x are about the same headset, something about they use the same driver or something.
Now that's a review
