SteelSeries - Arctis Pro Wireless

I personally just got the Audeze Maxwell, which are essentially a hybrid between gaming and audiophile. They’re closed backs, but they still sound great. I agree that it’s important to take a step away from these overpriced “gaming” headsets that are really just garbage. My previous headset was the Arctis Pro Wireless, which was inferior in every regard, and it was *still* more expensive than the Maxwell’s. Really goes to show how poisonous gaming branding is.

I’ve had the blackshark v2 pro for like 3 years now (it replaced my wireless arctic pro 7, which had a worse mic imo) and love it. Like a lot of ppl here I use a separate mic for my voice BUT the mic is surprisingly good for a wireless headset. I had no idea it was that good either until a friend asked me about the quality and it dawned on me I never used it. He said (let me preface this by saying most of our friends use high quality desktop arm mics) it sounds like a cheaper desktop mic (not a bad thing at all!), but better than what we would normally expect from a headset mic. Comfort wise it also has great breathable cushions, I hated the ski goggle strap that my arctis came with. I generally get fatigued wearing any headset, between it squeezing my fatass head and the weight, can get uncomfortable, so I’m in the process of getting gaming earbuds (arctic gamebuds)

I picked up a couple of arctis pro wireless (not the arctis *nova* pro wireless) headsets for my fiancée and I recently. They were on sale for $160 or so each at Best Buy. I did not want to buy them, I did not want to like them, and I went through each and every single headset from every other brand there before I even considered looking at them because I’ve heard so many bad things about steelseries customer service. But, we needed new headsets that day and they checked all the boxes at a good price so I bit the bullet anyway. Turns out they’re amazing and I love them. They sound fantastic, are surprisingly light, and the microphones are able to pick up only the wearer’s voice even when we’re playing & talking in the same room 6 feet apart. They’re also extremely comfortable for both of us which is rare - I have bigger ears that stick out and she has small sensitive ears, so most headsets only work for one of us. They don’t sound quite as refined as my old sennheiser studio headphones or even really the AirPods max, but you don’t need or expect them to for gaming. They’re also more comfortable during extended use than my senns/APMs. The product itself is great, just hoping I never need to contact customer service for anything.

Steel series arctic pro wireless has lasted me years, batteries can be finicky sometimes but that’s it

For me it'd be a toss up between the steel series Arctis Pro Wireless or the Razer Kraken V4 Pro Wireless.

I use the Arctis Pro Wireless from Steelseries for a few Years now. It’s probably not be the best in Sound Quality and definitely lacks in Microphone Quality. But the Sound Quality sounds good enough, atleast for me and I love that with the „Docking Station“ ( I don’t know how it’s really called ) I always have a fully Charged spare battery, so downtime is only like 5 Seconds to switch Battery’s.

No, except one thing I notice a wired version steelseries arctis pro have Hi Res certified meanwhile wireless version don't have that Hi Res certified but its speakers are on par with Certified Hi Res speakers, I've tried both version and found no different at all in (terms of audio quality), I ended up buying a wireless version

Also tryed them for gaming and music.. but the competetor was Steel series arctis wireless pro.. Oh boy behind them.are world.. so i gift the Headphone 1 a cousin he is happy.. its a win for all of us.

I know this is an older comment, but I stumbled here looking for good headphones and was curious if these are the ones you were talking about?

Awesome. I'm going to buy them. Thanks!

My experience is steelseries is the best of those. Comfy and good audio with a decent app to modify your equalizer and decent presets. Everyone saying get a nice pair of regular headphones and a stand alone mic aren't necessarily wrong but personally the main perk of gaming headsets is the wireless capability. Standard headphones that I would use for gaming are all wired. I've tried Bluetooth headsets and there always seems to be just that little bit of lag you don't get with the 2.4ghz gaming sets. Also unless you're an absolute audiophile, a decent quality gaming headset sounds good. Especially when you play with the equalizer to get what you want out of it. Edit: steelseries also has swappable battery packs which i personally love.

Yessir. I love mine and 140 is such a good deal
