If you're a gamer or just genuinely care about the quality of your sound, this should be your top pick. When I first tried this headset, I honestly was disappointed because it was the first time I didn't immediately love a product for my setup. I thought it sounded so different and I couldn't tell if that was a good thing or not. I thought I was going to return it, but I decided to try it for a bit longer. Not long after that, I realized, I hear more details with this headset than anything else I've ever tried. In games, music, and tv/movies I could hear each layer of sound flawlessly.I had a hard time trying to understand how it would sound based on how other people described it so I want to try my best here... I bought both the Closed back and the Open back options so I will compare them both here.Closed: The bass is very punchy but not muddy at all. The bass is strong and manages to deliver a powerful sound that truly immerses you in intense moments. The mids are slightly emphasized and make for vocals to be very clear and beautifully brought to life. The highs are noticeably bumped up(because these are closed back and made with a bias towards gaming, which benefits from boosted highs). However, I really appreciated the emphasized highs. It felt as if it was the perfect amount needed to complete the sound signature of this headset. Without the highs as they are, the headset might've been too bass-heavy and sounded as if it was lacking in some situations. Overall, an extremely pleasant and full sound that is enjoyable for all types of uses.Open: To my surprise, the bass was extremely similar, if not identical to the closed-back pair. The mids are noticeably flatter, in order to preserve the original sound signature of whatever content is being consumed. This doesn't make it sound bad or worse by any means but it's an example of the differences in what type of sound these will provide compared to the closed-back. The highs are also noticeably flatter, even more than the mids, but again this is not a bad thing. It makes for the sound signature of the headset to be what everyone says is "natural", meaning it doesn't do much extra apart from how the sound was intended to be heard when it was made. Whether it be gaming, music, or movies/tv, this sound signature fully captures the intended sound for each and everything you listen to, meaning very little is added to boost or emphasize whatever vision the sound designers/engineers had for their creations. I said in for the closed back that the highs felt appropriate and that it would have felt lacking without them, but I believe these don't sound lacking despite having similar bass because the mids are also toned down. Finally the open-back design. They feel extremely lightweight, almost like you're not even wearing a headset, and allow for a good amount of sound to be heard from your environment. I found that in competitive games, listening in for quiet footsteps was more challenging because it wasn't as closed off as the closed-back. However, with music and tv/movies this wasn't an issue.IMPORTANT: When I was using both of these, I felt as if the volume on both of them was very low. I was really confused as to why and was even jokingly saying to my friends, "I refuse to believe this is the epitome of EPOS audio". It seemed unbelievable to me that something that had such good sound would top out at such a low volume which was about only 75% of my previous headset, the Logitech G PRO X Wireless. I spent weeks trying to figure it out and eventually I stumbled upon a Reddit thread that fixed everything. To EVERYONE who uses Onboard sound straight from your motherboard, if you have Realtek audio drivers, go to your Windows Search bar and type in "Realtek Audio Console". Open it and in the audio tab, you should see an option called "Amplify Level". This option is a limiter for your audio and is what was causing BOTH of my headsets to sound quiet. I highly recommend setting it to at least the "Powerful" setting as this is a very decent upgrade in volume over "Performance". However, if you want the absolute maximum volume output available, go with "Extreme" but PLEASE be careful with your volume settings in any app or game you use, as this setting does really get EXTREMELY loud.Conclusion: To be completely honest, if I had only ever gotten one of these without ever trying the other, I would be completely satisfied with either one in terms of sound. Both the Closed-Back AND Open-Back pair OBLITERATE my G PRO X Wireless in terms of sound quality and comfort. For a purely gaming experience, I do believe the closed-back is the better choice, because of how powerful and rich the audio experience is. Because it's closed-back, very little sound from your environment will interrupt your listening experiences, which for gaming, especially competitive games is extremely beneficial. The open-back provides a very satisfyingly "natural" sound to everything you will listen to. However, the open-back nature of the headset does mean that some external sounds might overwhelm very quiet sounds like footsteps. If you have enough money to buy both of them, try directly comparing them to each other as I did. I would recommend doing so in order for you to see for yourself which you like and prefer more. But for those of you who can only choose one, I would definitely recommend the closed-back.UPDATE 2-3 WEEKS LATERThese headphones are amazing, probably even better than I originally thought. The no distortion at max volume thing is putting these actually ahead of the *ahem* other headphones I mention below. Comfort level is INSANE. I wear these all night and forget I'm not listening to my home theater. And I've got Emotiva T1+'s driving my front soundstage, so that's saying something.I did order the GSX 1200 (I got the 1200 opposed to the 1000 because it was the same price renewed), so I will try to update more when that arrives.Bass response is wicked. Wicked. Punchy clear piano notes, heavy guitar riffs, clear solos and thumping melodies for a motherboard amp. Gaming is fun and exciting.ORIGINAL REVIEW:i enabled music equalizer in Dolby Access app along with Dolby Atmos spacial audio, and am currently testing music.these are NOT primarily for music, but it’s nice to know they are very clear, dynamic, and responsive.they PROBABLY require an external sound card. BUT , they are leagues above what i had before for gaming headset, the “cheap” $60 Corsair HS60comfort level? off the chartsbass response is not in your face. its more warm and laid backmy Sony h.ear on 2 WH-H900N will be my main music listeners..they arent as comfy as this headset, the EPOS are WAY more comfortable,and in terms of sound quality, the SONYs are superior, especially in the low end realm, but this is fair since --they are also in the $300 price bracket ?? where the EPOS H6PRO are $180so far the EPOS with Dolby Access set to MUSIC: WARM EQ PRESET, they’ve handled Sia, Alice in Chains, and some Eminem, and everything has been fairly enjoyableTaylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” is wonderous and dreamy.. rhythmic and emphatichighs are bright, expansive, roll off nicely, warm, and wonderymids are just there. you don't want them not there, and you don't want too much. lots of punchy and grindy effects play fantastically.low end: needs EQ, but, with the EQ they really do sound pretty good.. there's no distortion that's for sure. not muddy. pretty clear. i don't know what to say. it's not in your face, but it's there.all in all, they PASS the music test. they're about 90-95% of my Sony's in total sound quality, for a good 65% of the price.i am too tired to try gaming right now, or the headset, but i know it works.COMFORT: 10/10EASE OF USE: 10/10FEATURES: 8/10 (could use actual mute button, and USB-C connection)SOUND QUALITY: 9/10MIC QUALITY: untestedVALUE: 10/10I’m no audiophile nor have an abundance of experience with different headphones. But I will say that these have one of the best sound profile I’ve heard as a gaming headset. There is bass but it doesn’t make the details sound muddy. I also tried this with the EPOS GSX 300. The sound and the software you need to adjust it didn’t feel worth it. Plugging these to the back of my motherboard produced a louder and cleaner sound on both input and output.The microphone on these sound very good. I often get compliments on the quality of my voice sounds on discord.The build quality feels a bit on the cheaper side. You can also hear a lot of sound coming from the wires if you move a lot or brush it around. Adjusting the headphones band size is a bit tough. From my headphones before, it can be adjusted while wearing. I can’t seem to do it with these.Overall pretty happy with this purchase. Wish it came with a solid black color, but the blue isn’t that bad.I find the head band a little too tight, when clamped down, but that's probably my head size & shape. I bought a third party zip-able sleeve for the band and inserted a small piece of sponge (now much better).Anyway, sound quality, top notch - similar to my Sennheiser HD598s, not quite, but close enough. I bought the closed back version and the presented soundscape is "locked in" and "tight". If that makes sense. The bass response is punchy enough, without being overwhelming and I haven't noticed distortion. Mid to high range has enough detail and presence. Overall, I doubt you'll be disappointed upon first impressions.The microphone quality is reasonable imo - nowhere near as good as my desktop USB microphone, but these I use on console, and for that purpose, they are more than adequate. I haven't had any major issues in chat, but need to toggle off mic monitoring on Xbox (this causes distortion for your pals).These "look" incredible and if you want a headset that appears stylish, yet subtle, with a professional finish to the casing and band - look no further. They feel durable and well built. I also like the style of cable, which has a soft material finish and should be tangle free.If you have and enjoy the GSP 600/601/602 and are looking at the H6 Pro then I think it's a worthwhile upgrade.Takes all things good from the 600 series and improves on them in my opinion. Ear cups are more comfortable and soft. Audio is similar but more clear/balanced. Mic design is much better and being able to remove it is a nice touch.GSPシリーズの愛好家です。GSP600を主として3年ほど使用。使用の際はミックスアンプ接続。また、そのほかにGSP301.370.500も保有。某デバイス系YouTuberが紹介してたので、いかがなものかと思い購入しました。以下率直な感想です。正直音の感じはGSP301=370<500<<<
