Epos H6Pro Review: The Best Gaming Headset Mic?
I think EPOS is a terrible name for a gaming peripheral company. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that the team formerly known as Sennheiser’s gaming headset division is still making products. They have a long history of pairing excellent design with enjoyable acoustics. I just don’t think that “POS” belongs anywhere near a gaming brand name, or anywhere near the impressive H6Pro gaming headset.

I don’t receive a kick back if you buy one and I don’t use affiliate links in any of my stories. My full reviews policy is here.
The H6Pro comes in a few different colors and sells for $179 (official site here). As far as I’m concerned, the eye-catching “racing green” colorway is the best one. It’s a rare color in the tech space, and it would be perfectly at home in Loki’s collection if he fell out of the MCU and into the audiophile world. In the box, you get the headset itself, the microphone, two different detachable…
