SteelSeries Arctis Pro gaming headset review

Multiple versions, each with a wide range of supported platforms ; Doesn’t require extra software or drivers ; Hi-res audio performance ; Very comfortable ; Sleek, minimalist design

Setup is a bit of hassle

The Arctis Pro solves the few compatibility shortcomings the previous Arctis headsets faced and boosts the quality up across the board. It’s become our new top pick for gaming headsets, regardless of system.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless review: A high-end gaming headset with years of experience

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless gaming headset is easier to recommend in 2018 than its aging Siberia 800 predecessor, but there are still caveats

Industry-leading microphone ; Arctis design is still exceedingly comfortable ; Better sound than its Siberia 800 predecessor

Lacks bass, and EQing more in just leads to a muddy sound ; Expensive, by 2018 standards ; Dual-battery system is neat, but not as useful when most headsets last up to 24 hours per charge

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless is in a weird place, as is the nowadays.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC

SteelSeries' high-end wired Arctis Pro + GameDAC headset offers excellent performance and plenty of connection and audio processing options in an understated, comfortable package.

Excellent audio quality. Comfortable. GameDAC offers handy controls.

Expensive for a wired headset. Not quite as premium-feeling as similarly priced headsets.

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC is a great-sounding, comfortable gaming headset with its own DAC/mixer/controller. Its $250 price tag still feels a bit steep when compared with similarly priced, wireless headsets, but for serious competitive...

Impressive battery system. Great audio and microphone reproduction. Comfortable and durable design. Wireless via USB transmitter and Bluetooth.

Great overall microphone performance. Versatile and durable design. DAC offers sound customization features and connectivity options. Wired design eliminates lag.

Bass and treble delivery varies significantly across users. Bulky design. Can fit a bit tight for some listeners.

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro GameDAC are alright for neutral sound. While their bass and treble delivery depend on their fit, seal, and positioning, the DAC makes it easy to tweak the way they sound on-the-fly thanks to their built-in EQ. The companion...

Review: Steelseries Arctis PRO | High-end Headset Hits The Target Steelseries Arctis PRO

SteelSeries flirts with HiFi for the adult gaming audience! Test: Steelseries Arctis PRO

The sound is true HiFi. Excellent portability. USB, optical and analog inputs.

They cost a lot of money. The separate DAC isn’t easy to carry.

The SteelSeries Arctic Pro + GameDAC costs three times as much as the cheapest participants in the test. The headset won’t guarantee you a higher score but in the same way better screen resolution enhances realism, the higher audio resolution also...

I'm all for a company making its products better, but I'm ultimately a little confused about the Arctis refresh. The changes to the headsets are so subtle that you might never notice them unless you had both models side by side. And even then, there's...
