  • 10mos, then 2yr review/update - A Fantastic Value to Performance Ratio!
Color: Black Style: Arctis Pro + GameDAC
2 YEAR UPDATE! I just want to add something, as there are a lot of people complaining that the hinges are weak and that they break easily. There is a simple fix for that - don't pull on the earcups when you put em on. Grab the metal band above the earcups, stretch it and put it on that way. I've had my Arctis Pro for 2yrs now and they are in excellent condition and the hinges are perfectly fine even tho I only started opening em this way recently. I bought the Arctis Pro + GameDAC around Black Friday 2018 for $200. I decided to give myself at least 6 months with them before writing a review. I mean you really can't write a fair review of a headset on the day or 1st week you get them. I can now say that this is the best gaming headset I've ever had the pleasure of owning. I also currently have the Sony Platinum headset and previously the Astro A40, TB Stealth 700, HyperX Cloud Revolver, Sennheiser Game One, and a few others. The Arctis Pro is leagues ahead of all of them imo. The sound signature is not like most gaming headsets and is tuned a bit more neutral and not heavy on the bass as many gaming headsets are. That doesn't mean there isn't any bass, it's very crisp and punchy but doesn't distort or get muddy at higher volumes like lesser headsets would. It's a much more natural sounding bass, not exaggerated the way a lot of headsets are these days. If you're on PC though, you can realllly crank the bass up with their software if you want. It's probably the easiest peripheral software I've used tbh. The sound is excellent and very clear/crisp sounding with zero distortion at high volumes. The volume is also more than adequate; I've never felt that I needed them to go louder than they are capable. I suggest going into the GameDAC audio settings or SS Engine 3 and turning the gain to "high" if you find the volume lacking and make sure the dial on the headset itself is turned up, as well as on the DAC. I find the sound on these to be pitch perfect for positional audio, I can really pinpoint where the little animals are that I'm hunting in Red Dead 2 or exactly which direction an enemy is coming from in Warzone. I almost feel like I'm cheating sometimes because I'll be able to aim at where a person will be right before they get there...but I still get killed cuz my reactions are getting too slow to keep up with these kids 😂 The soundstage and imaging are the best I've heard in a closed back headset. Overall, when it comes to gaming headsets, I think these are one of the best out there. The sound is just so clear, full, and natural. They're extremely comfortable and don't give me a headache after wearing them for hours. You can easily find replacement ear cushions for them. They feel very sturdy, like they're made with quality materials (update: they've held up great for 2yrs now) and there don't appear to be any particularly weak points to worry about aside from the joint where they swivel but mine feel just as solid 10 months later as they did on day 1. The RGB lighting is really subtle and well done as well. I'm not usually a fan of RGB lighting on a headset cuz it's often gaudy but that's not the case with these. There's even a customizable RGB light on the microphone which tells you when it's active or muted. The GameDAC is awesome and gives you plenty of options to customize the audio to your liking, incl an EQ with 10 separate sliders so you can really dial it in to the smallest degree. It's worth noting that the wireless version only has 5 sliders for the EQ (on the transmitter base), but you have all the same features for both in their software. I'd also like to mention that the virtual surround sound, DTSx 2.0, is by far the best VSS I've heard on a headset. It widens the soundstage, provides excellent positional audio and it doesn't sound tinny or hollow the way many others do. It doesn't overemphasize the bass or the treble, it just makes everything sound more full. The SS Engine 3 software is very user-friendly, far more than programs like Icue. Setting up multiple profiles or "configs" took me just a few minutes, and each one genuinely sounded very different. It's a great piece of software imo. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Hi-Res audio that these are capable of, especially now that I've finally experienced it 2 years later. In 3 words...IT'S A REVELATION. Seriously, it's absolutely incredible, like hearing songs for the first time. I recently built a PC and signed up for Amazon music so I listened to some of their "Ultra HD" tracks. I kid you not, I sat there listening to music for literally 5 hours. And I am not the kinda person who listens to music when I'm in my house, I'm usually watching, playing or reading something. Everyone should experience hi-res music at some point. I would also recommend getting an extended warranty on these since SS warranty is only 1 year. The extended warranty is only around $18 and it covers pretty much everything incl normal wear & tear. It's worth paying the extra $20 to safeguard something of this quality. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this headset and I think it's well worth the $220 I spent. Great sound, solid punchy bass, really good sub-bass and crisp, clear highs and mids. The GameDAC is an excellent piece of hardware that really helps these headphones shine, the comfort is great and the surround sound is the best implementaion I've heard in a headset. ... show more

  • Amazing headset
Color: Black Style: Arctis Pro + GameDAC
Before I start I'd like to point out that I've always had a bias for USB headsets and good value ones, and I did own an Arctis 5 so I am fairly biased. I love the Pro over the 5 because of its higher quality build and feel, I believe it's made with aluminium instead of plastic, the Gamedac that came included with my variation is also a welcome feature, there is no need to install drivers to unlock the full capability of the headset (although from my past experience, the software is amazing compared to ones coming from Logitech/Razer which tend to be more clunky and 'overdesigned' imo), except for maybe integrations into some games, which is not anything you'd care about as all it does really is change the lighting of the headset according to maybe your healthbar or something which you can't even see, with the headset atleast. The audio quality is great, I don't know whether the 96khz 'Hi-Res' mode does make any difference, I can't tell if there's placebo at play or not but I still tend to use the mode when I am listening to music / watching content just so I can be sure. Hi-Res mode also disables the Chatmix feature though, watch out for that if you like the feature. The surround sound although not the best is pretty good, I'm faceit level 7 in CS and Plat in Valorant and with map knowledge its surround sound doesn't help too much since I already have a developed gamesense, perfect surround would only help n00bs imo as it would give them a headstart and get the ball rolling quicker but I don't think it has the best spatial audio. Love the improved earcups over the Arctis 5, those were soft and always heated up over a 2 hour session and got uncomfortable and I haven't felt the same with these, but their stiffness does make it a bit uncomfortable too, but I'd prefer this anyday. Also included with the headset this time around is a microphone pop filter, loved the addition, didn't need to buy one separately this time around and fits well. It comes with the option to use 3.5mm for your phone / console as well as with an optical cable. The cables being in a modular style makes it easier for you to get replacement ones from SteelSeries although I don't like that they use the almost proprietary cables for their products, but it is much better than having to send the whole headset away when you have a damaged USB cable or something. Great product, haven't had a SteelSeries product fail on me, I give it a 10/10. I don't know why people are complaining about customer support in an area which is about product review, that should be going on somewhere on the internet like trustpilot/reddit rather than here, I haven't had to deal with any of those issues and I hope I won't have to. ... show more
