The cable that comes with it is tough, durable, and not too loud, but it is a little stiff. Ideally, the cable will soften with use. Still, there’s the seriously useful new removable microphone to compensate for that minor inconvenience. The mic itself is of high quality, has a pleasant sound, and is not only flip-to-mute but also completely removable due to its magnetic construction. In theory, this turns this gaming headset into one you could wear around without feeling silly. There’s even a magnetic cover in the box that fits over the side of the ear cup to hide the microphone. In fact, the entire H6PRO is very neat and tidy. It feels extremely well-made in the hand, and while it’s mostly made of plastic, there’s a metal headband running through the top of the leatherette-clad band that provides plenty of flex if you’re rough on it. Let’s move on to the important audio aspect, and both models of the H6PRO include brand new 42mm drivers. The use of breathable mesh ear pads contributes to the open-back design’s light and airy soundscape. This model is softer, more expansive, and tonally quite relaxed. The closed-back model with leatherette ear pads is a little harsher, but you do get more low-end with this pair. If you want more bass, volume, and resonance, a closed-back speaker is the way to go. However, neither headset is particularly overwhelming, and the tuning for these specific drivers is excellent. As a result, if you want the bass to shake your eardrums, you should look elsewhere. However, I am a fan of the Sennheiser HD 650. Just a little more open-back. However, the open-back is audibly see-through. That means you’ll hear everything around you as if you weren’t wearing headphones, and to a lesser extent, those around you will be able to hear your music selection. The closed-back cups, on the other hand, block out much of the background noise.
