If you’re looking for some new headphones, then the new EPOS H6PRO Series headsets might be worth considering. And they should work well for gaming, as they’ll be the official kit for the various EPOS Esports teams, including Cloud9, MAD Lions, Toronto Ultra, Aston Martin Cognizant Esports, Toronto Defiant, Sprout and LDLC OL.

Available in your choice of Open or Closed designs, the wired acoustic headsets are available now for the PC, Mac, PS4 and PS5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, and come in Sebring Black, Racing Green or Ghost White.

Obviously the Closed version will block out distractions more, while the Open option means you can hear your own voice without the need for additional monitoring.

They’ve got a lightweight design, which comes in around 20% less than the previous GSP 500 and 600 headsets, and feature a slimmer headband with memory foam of different densities, a 2-axis hinge structure, and replaceable earpads.

One interesting aspect is that the H6PRO speaker system aims to offer likelike sound across the full audible frequency spectrum to minimise fatigure by avoiding tricks like boosting the bass, which then masks midrange sounds like footsteps and over environmental cues. Plus it means your brain should have an easier time coping with game and team chat for longer periods.

Another neat trick is that the new EPOS H6PRO Series headsets feature a detachable microphone, which also has ‘lift-to-mute’ built in, which makes it slightly less likely your team-mates or streaming audience will hear something they shouldn’t.

There’s also a volume wheel located on the right ear cup for quick and easy adjustment in the middle of a game. The headsets are supplied with cables for both 4-pole jacks (consoles and phones) or a pair of 3-pole jacks.

The new EPOS H6PRO Series headsets are available in Sebring Black, Racing Green and Ghost White, and both the Open and Closed versions have a suggested price of £149.
