CONCLUSION

   Since i received both acoustic versions of the H6PRO line i ended up spending almost a full month testing them with surprisingly good results. Now even though we’re still basically talking about an Sennheiser product this is actually something i didn’t expect since EPOS this time over used smaller 42mm drivers as opposed to the 50mm ones they used with previous models like for example the GSP602. Of course, this means that you’re not getting the same bass levels (or even volume) as the GSP602 but in terms of audio clarity the H6PRO delivers very crisp and accurate mids and highs. That’s not to say that bass is bad, it just may not be enough for some people who may also use this headset for music. The boom microphone also does a great job in delivering clear audio to the other end (perhaps one of the best microphones I’ve used with a gaming headset and that says a lot about both the H6PRO and EPOS). Comfort levels are also very good, especially with the open acoustic version which is not only lighter but also has softer earpads. In terms of audio isolation, the open version may not the best choice if you have someone next to you who you don’t want to disturb but it does give you a higher degree of awareness in regards to your surroundings. Yes, audio is not quite on par with the closed version (especially in terms of volume) but at least for me the open acoustic version ticks the most boxes.

   At the time of my review the H6PRO Closed acoustic gaming headset by EPOS retails for USD179.85 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 168.39Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) while the H6PRO Open acoustic version retails for USD179 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 177.25Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). This is a very balanced price tag for what you’re getting in return, both in terms of build quality and audio performance. On top of that add the available colors and also that EPOS is probably the only company in the PC gaming market to launch an headset model with both closed and open acoustic versions and it’s no wonder that the H6PRO gets the Golden Award.
