The headband and the hangers that connect it to the earcups are not plastic but metal for added durability.
Along with the soft-touch coating on the earcups, the headband features a matte, gunmetal finish that lends the headset an air of quality and sophistication. The only spot of color on the all-black design are the customizable LEDs that form a ring around the outside of the earcups. The overall design is notably understated, particularly since some gaming headsets go for an aggressive, attention-seeking design.
In fact, they’re nearly identical to the previous Arctis models, from the large oval earcups, ski-goggle-strap headband, and soft-touch coating on the surfaces. It sells for $179.99.ĭesign and Features The Arctis line already boasted a professional-grade design, with premium materials and a comfortable fit, so it’s not surprising that the Arctis Pro headsets don’t feature a radical redesign. Finally there's also a vanilla "Pro" model that's wired and without the gamedac, or wireless connectivity. Both headsets are physically the same, and differ only how they connect to their external boxes (among other small differences). Above it is the also-new $329.99 Arctis Pro Wireless, which lacks the GameDAC but provides lossless, lag-free 2.4GHz wireless audio along with Bluetooth. The Pro Wireless (opens in new tab) and the Pro + DAC (opens in new tab) retail at $329.99 and $249.99, respectively.It offers an external GameDAC module that delivers high-fidelity sound along with easy access to settings and controls. The only setback for both models may be the price, but you get what you pay for when it comes to great audio. It may not be Hi-Res certified like the Pro + DAC, but the audio quality is right up there, and it has Bluetooth support and a great battery swap system. If you wish to go all out and cut cables in the process, the Pro Wireless is as good as you can get from SteelSeries. RGB lighting is a nice touch, and the DAC amp unit makes the headset a breeze to configure and use. The experience will be wired and tied to a PC to get the most out of available sound, but that's a price many see worth the cost of being able to wander around freely. The Pro + DAC by SteelSeries is a fantastic upgrade for any gamer looking to enjoy truly high-quality audio.
