I really appreciate your thoughts on this, thanks. How is that possible that I like Arctis Pro better than H6Pro? Everyone says that Steelseries is crap😄

People just have very different opinions, I don't know. All "audiophiles" say that using surround sound is shit, however, there are reviews like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/v9rvx2/sennheiser_hd560s_for_gaming_music/
Pretty much saying, directional pin-point is not great. I have no idea, what to trust... And buying/returning the item takes a lot of time, since I'm buying from amazon.de.

Is the difference between H6Pro and 560S big? I see a lot of people recommending 560s. And what about watching movies? How is it?

But surround software helps with games. Any headphones that I head, surround off - means harder to pin-point the direction of the sound.
Do you suggest playing without software at all?

Previously, I had Arctis Pro + GameDAC (it started to break, so I had to move to another headset). I bought H6Pro Open back + GSX 300 bundle a week ago. I'm not sure how I feel about them, but somehow it seems like a downgrade from the Arctis Pro, I don't know how. But the surround sound, using EPOS software sounds quite muffled/muddy/many sounds stuffed in one place?? I'm not sure how to describe it. And yeah, EPOS software is pretty much garbage. I really don't want to waste my time returning this product back but I want a good quality audio for gaming, music, movies.
What's your experience with it? Would you say that the 560s is superior to this one?

I had Arctis Pro + GameDAC for two years. Now, I have H6Pro openback + GSX 300 DAC, which I bought a week ago. I'm really not sure how I feel about them, but going from Arctis Pro to this headset even sound like a downgrade? Do you think is that possible? I find the surround sound a bit muddy or muffled (I don't know these terms). The EPOS software is pretty much garbage, to be honest...
What was your experience with this headset?

So probably 560s is the best for it's price range, right? But the driver size is only 38mm, does that mean anything? Also, is it important to get everything as much in place in the box, as it was when arrived, when you return a headset?
