Lowering the mic back down would prompt a nice “click” letting me know I could be heard again. Unless of course, I wanted to mute myself by raising it up towards the headband. The headset’s mic always picked up my voice. I could easily communicate with other players in various games or through apps like Discord. No matter what platform I tested it on, it performed splendidly. The H6Pro is compatible with the Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC and mobile devices, all via 3.5mm connection. The biggest explosions, the faintest footsteps, team chatter – it was possible to hear it all with minimal effort in most cases. While I can’t speak on Epos’ claim of having the best transducers on the market, I can say that this headset produces high quality audio. Speaking of sound, the H6Pro has strong inner components. They also allow the transfer of exterior sound, making it easier to hear whatever’s going on in a player’s immediate surroundings.

Each earcup has a breathable top half that mitigates some of the heat that builds up during play. Unique to this build is the open acoustic design. The right cup sports the volume dial that, without its slightly raised notches, would otherwise go unnoticed. Below that is where the headset’s cables connect – either a PC cable (that splits into the green/pink headset/mic plugs) or a 3.5mm cable for console and mobile device use. For instance, the left cup features a magnetized surface that secures either the detachable mic or a metal plated cover. There are some bits that stand out though. This helps in providing seamless lines, where the aesthetics bleed into one another for an overall uniformed appearance.

The earcups are nearly bare besides the boom mic and a large circular volume dial, there aren’t any external buttons or switches. At a glance, the H6Pro looks rather sleek. The cups’ similar plastic and metal combo is offset by thick memory foam padding and the open acoustic design. Thick plastic surrounds the adjustable portions, which connect at the earcups via a 2-axis hinge. Both offer a sturdy, lightweight frame with a slim metal headband wrapped in soft padding. The Epos H6Pro comes in two variations: a closed and open acoustic model (the latter of which was used for this review). That’s certainly the case with the company’s solidly built H6Pro, a wired headset that’s only hindered by an uncomfortable fit. And while none of Epos’s headsets have landed on our Best Gaming Headset list, they’re known to excel in this regard. Being able to hear and be heard are the two of the most important features of any headset.
