Hey everybody, this is a tough topic. Both the open back Epos H6Pro and PC38x from Drop are phenomenal headsets that I can easily recommend. Long story short, if you want the classic, crisp open-back experience with a wide open soundstage, then the PC38x is still going to be the headset to buy. However, if you want a more traditional, immersive "gaming" audio then the new H6Pro is definitely worth taking a look at.
The H6Pro definitely has the edge in terms of build quality, but I do not believe that should be the deciding factor in your purchase. In my opinion, it 100% comes down to which sound you prefer. If you've only used closed-back headsets in the past, then the H6Pro is a great stepping stone down to that true open-back experience. I truly believe you cannot go wrong with either of these. They are both comfortable, highly adjustable, and feature phenomenal microphones. I am personally going to continue to use the H6Pro because I just enjoy the sound. I mainly play games with "BOOMS" - World of Warships, Destiny, Overwatch, Rocket League - and all of them sound amazing with the open-back H6Pro.
So, to sum it all up:
H6Pro - better quality materials, equal comfort, more "gamey" audio
PC38x - equal comfort, amazing, truly open-back audio. Cannot go wrong.
