EPOS / Sennheiser - H6PRO Open

EPOS H6PRO Open Acoustic checks all the boxes for you. For wireless, Turtle Beach Atlas Air.

I use the open back version of the Epos H6pro, they make open and closed versions. Epos and Sennheiser have been a collaboration for a while. There is pretty good directional sound from them. Not sure if it is audiophile worthy.

Check out the Epos H6pro. Epos and Sennheiser collaborate on gaming headsets. It has a removable boom mic and comes in open or closed back options.

I'm probably not the best person to ask. My only other headset was the pcx550 which finally died on me after 8+ years of use. There are a couple of comparisons on youtube, here is one: https://youtu.be/k6extTalnX4?si=f4dmHy7ZS6ewmVdb I got the H6pro because I wanted wired, open back, and thought I would take advantage of the removable mic. Wired because I didn't want to deal with recharging, open back because I need to be able to hear my surroundings and I heard it helps with fatigue from long usage. In practice I never remove the mic so that has not been a beneficial feature. To me they are comfortable and offer a perceived surround sound feel. I can tell if there is something behind me, right, left, or on the floor above.

Senheiser H6Pro has been phenomenal for me. I’ve had Turtle Beach and Astro both fail on me in <6 months, can’t really attest for Steel Series or Razor but I can say Senheiser quality really stands out over anything I’ve looked at

The Drop EPOS PC38X is still arguably one of the best gaming headsets you can buy. I also like the EPOS H6Pro series.

I’ve been waiting for the PC38Xs to drop back down to ~$120 on Amazon, which according to the camel they do a lot. While waiting, I read a lot about the Epos H6Pros, which I picked up for ~$80. I like these a lot, but still want to try the 38Xs.
