H6PRO

EPOS £149

Premium all-ways

The H6PRO poses a

question to PC gamers:

should I buy open-back

orclosed-back headphones?

Usually we don’t get the choice,

as most gaming headset

manufacturers cheer for the

closed-back team. If you’re

anything like me, though, you’re

willing to fight in the open-back

corner. The H6PRO is a great test

bed to compare between the two

because both models are the

same bar a few key acoustic

features. That means either way

you’re getting a comfortable

headset with a removable,

flip-to-mute high-quality

microphoneandtopbuildquality.

They’re also super

comfortable too, and, call me a

luddite, but having a physical

volume dial is far more pleasing

than fumbling around trying to

find little buttons. My only real

issue is that I’m not a fan of its

little boom mic, but given the fact

there are some fantastic budget

gaming mics out there right now,

that’s not a biggy.
