SteelSeries - Pro Wireless

i just bought an arctis pro for the second time, my first one lasted 5 years of very heavy use. Its only downside IMO is that its a little heavy. Other than that its been a great headset and worth the $200 [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079YBKT3H](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079YBKT3H)

I use the Steel Series Arctic 7+ Pro I think it’s called? The wireless one with a non-swappable battery, you don’t need no swapping, the battery life is amazing, upwards of 30 hours on a single charge. I haven’t owned a lot of headset but this one is by far the best I’ve tried. I hear a lot good stuff about Astros as well.

Nice, I guess mine must but around 5 years old as well, fingers crossed it keeps on working for a while

That’s odd, I have a big head as well but with the adjustable velcro band, it’s fine, I can wear it all night without issue. I know they have a few model with a similar name though, maybe I got it wrong and we aren’t talking about the exact same model, I’m not sure.

No complaints from my friends, they say it sounds clear. Again, I haven’t tried a lot of headsets/mics, I know it sounds better than the PlayStation Gold I used to own on console. Some people find the Steel Series app awful, personally I like it, you can play around with sliders and stuff to adjust the sound of both your mic and different inputs through a feature they call Sonar (media, game, voice, etc). I also use the app as a recording device sometimes to review some recent gameplay, set the buffer and review how I die in Tarkov as an example.

I have gone through all the premium/best-reviewed ones and the Corsair Virtuoso is the best overall in my experience. I didn't like the weird headband on the Steel Series Arctic line. For me it was not comfortable at all. I had a previous version of the Arctis with the little dock and hot-swap batteries, and I LOVED that battery switch feature.

Good thing the batteries in the steel series are swappable so it takes only 20 secs to change the battery and the 2nd battery goes in the dock to charge. You can even buy a set of replacement batteries if needed

By that logic, the $379 Pro's which are inferior to these in both sound signature, microphone & build quality isn't worth the price. But they are rated as probably Top 3 in Gaming headphones. You have to look at it in the entire package. Software + build quality + feature set + sound performance + mic performance. The Pro's are already top 3 in this regard. There are other headphoens slightly cheaper that may deliver certain things better and vice versa. Many brands have better mics, worse sound signature. Some have better sound signature and worse mics. Some can't do crap for software and EQ control. Then you have Audiophile cans that you then need to buy seperate products to take advatange of and then overall can cost more than the gaming headset. Like it or not, sometimes spending a little bit of a premium for convenience and having a good experience in each category makes sense. I don't want 50 things on my desk just to hear 5% better. I don't want a microphone on my desk either, and want it attached to my mic. I also want a wireless headset. I also don't want to spend hours trying to EQ my games and want something that just sounds a bit more immersive out of the box by clicking a button. I also like to keep all of my software not so bloated with 50 different products. I also like higher build quality and decent mics. That's where the Nova Pro's came in, and they are easily top 3 in most categories outside of audiophile specific devices. Enters the Elites which is better than them by a good margin in each of those categories. With your logic, don't ever fly direct on an airplane... how dare you spend more money for convenience!

Idk about elites, but I bought Pros due to the fact of the interchangeable battery. I haven't found any other headphones with this feature.

I share your pain. I still feel like I got the wind knocked out of me. Why on earth do the midrange devices get companion app support but the Pro and Pro Wireless don't? All I want is Sonar on Xbox

I use SteelSeries Pro and love them. Little expensive though.

There are many options better than the Steel series pro. Those aren’t great, and the mic sounds awful

Steelseries 7P+ or Pro, don't touch the Sense 3D with a barge pole it'll eventually fail for build quality.

I have both the Pulse Elite and Steelseries Pro - prefer the Pro - as can use on my Xbox as well

Love SteelSeries but the fact that I own the pro and yet they still not update some huge firmwarestuff and implement them in the companion app is driving me nuts

Ive had both the new astro a50x and the steelseries pro. Astros sound quality is by far better, but i hated that I had to connect all my devices to an hdmi switch so I stayed with the steelseries. They aren't my favorites but after dropping 200 dollars each in headsets that retail over 350 that dont have a direct connection to my console it was starting to get frustrating. I also heard mixed reviews about the audeze so never got them.

Iv had so many headsets cheap 10$ ones to 350$+ ones and to be honest none compared in comfortability and sound quality to my 50$ Astro A10s. I have Stealth 700 gen 2 rn and before these I had steel series pros and I still think the A10s are better in every way besides the wire.

I use the Steelseries Arctic for 3 years. Still solid

What headset you recommend? Currently have a hypercloud 2 and it´s breaking down as I´ve got it for 8 years now lol, bought the hypercloud 3 and it´s whack, literally feeling pressure on my ears and the microphone is bad. Tried arctic steelseries and even that one felt like pressure on my ears.
