"Easily, it's one of my favorite things about the headset. ... It comes with two rechargable batteries, the idea is that one is in the headset and while that one is in use, the other one is in the Amp recharging. ... So in practice, it means even after a few years when battery life is degraded you can just swap them out in the middle of a game, only takes about 10 seconds or so. ... It's one of the primary reasons I picked these over the astro a50s having owned both."
"Agreed, these should be the most recommended simply for swappable battery."
"They have swappable batteries which is an incredible feature. ... Never have to plug in to recharge."

"So much more convenient without a cable dangling around and constantly having to readjust it or take off your headset to do something. ... But I can walk to the kitchen, grab a glass of water, and not have to pause my meeting or interrupt someone to "hold on for 3 min""
"being able to simultaneously use bluetooth and the receiver at the same time"
"how far they can transmit"

"The headphones themselves cracked after like 5 months and were no longer usable. ... then after like 6 months they cracked after I dropped them and I could no longer use em."

"In addition, when i press the front button to access the menu it resets and cannot get into the menus on the base station. ... Upgrading the firmware caused this and I dont think they've released any more since."
"The headset would randomly restart, disconnect from the base and cause a loud distrotion sound to come across until I BOTH powered down the headset AND disconnected the USB cable from the back of the hub. Pair that with the headset just randomly disconnecting at times (typically when critical to HAVE it) and you have a recipe for disaster."
"Wireless pro were completely bricked within a year"

"It often gets into a state where it won't connect ... NOWHERE does Steelseries tell you how to hard reset the headset (the trick is to hold the power and bluetooth buttons down for like 10 seconds) ... I've had to factory reset them three times (holding down power and bluetooth) because they just get locked up and don't respond."

"IMO the arctis pros sound like ass without a proper EQ curve. ... Without it they sound hollow and tinny and overly bassy for how bad the rest of the audio is balanced."
"to tweak the EQ you need to install their overbearing garbage software. ... The software for the EQ (which is required because the flat sound on these is fucking awful) is overbearing and stupid."
"constant white noise ... for the Arctis Pro I was part of the minority who heard the white noise and it drove me crazy"
