SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless Gaming Headset - High Fidelity 2.4 GHz Wireless - Mixable Bluetooth - Non-Stop Dual Battery - OLED Base Station - AI Noise Canceling Mic - PC, PS5, PS4, Mobile - Black

I've had this for a couple months now on my PS4 and am quite satisfied. I'm coming from a Gen 1 A50 that I've used for a very long time. The main reason I purchased is for the battery life and swapping feature. I typically go days without swapping, but if for some reason I forgot to swap, I can do so quickly and continue gaming. With A50's you need to plug in to charge. My old A50's battery life was a couple hours at most even after a new battery replacement. Granted, I know the new A50's get much better battery life, on par with the Arctis, but it's a plus nevertheless. I really appreciate never having to be tethered. BTW, swapping batteries on Astros are not easy, so that's another benefit of swappable batteries - you can just buy new ones if they eventually run out of charges. The sound quality is different than the Astros. Astros were definitely more bass heavy, but I quickly got used to the tighter sound on the Arctis. They definitely sound more crisp. Another difference is that the earcups on the Arctis are much more isolating. Again, it's different, not better or worse. However, while talking, you can still hear your own voice with the Sidetone feature that let's you set how much of your own voice you want to hear through your headset. I set mine very low, but you can turn off altogether if you want. Supposedly the mic quality on the Arctis is better than the Astros from what I read, but I don't really care since I don't listen to myself. Everyone heard me fine with both. One feature I really do miss is the flip up mic on the A50's. This is a tactile, binary mute indicator. I always knew I was muted with it flipped up. On the Arctis, there is a red light on the mic that indicates mute, but I have to actually look at a reflection to visually confirm its muted. On the plus side, it's nice to completely retract the mic so it's not even there on the Arctis. Not as crisp a design as the flip up/mute mic though. As far as comfort, they both felt good, neither stood out more than the other. For build quality, I prefer the Arctis surprisingly. The buttons and wheels just feel crisper. It seems like a more durable design at the key weak points as well. The two headsets are pretty close in all ways, just different. Aside from the battery swap which I think is the best, most practical feature for a wireless headset, there are a couple other things that made me choose this one over the A50 gen 3. The customizability of sound in the easy to reach mixer is nice but I don't change settings much myself. I heard the charging stand for the A50 is inconsistent and fussy, which makes total sense if you are trying to line up charging points. Also, it's a 3 year old headset at this point. Maybe gen 4 will blow us all away, but I needed a new one now. Another thing that's a plus on the Arctis is the bluetooth capability. I thought I would use it more, but haven't had the need yet in my setup. I have a dedicated BT headset and I just swap when I need to make a call. It could be useful if you don't have multiple headsets though. Overall, I am very satisfied with the headset. Sounds great, comfortable, and battery for days (recreational gamer), and quick swapping if you run out. But I would probably also be almost as satisfied with an updated A50.

Downsizing from a pretty large set up, needed something low drag and picked up these, the new Audio technica mx50 gaming headset, and the cheaper wireless logitech cans. Pros: FUNCTIONALITY - i cannot iterate on this enough, these are the most functional and well thought out pair of cans you can buy, my favorite functionality is the 2 battery and charging doc in the wireless receiver, having no charging down time or having to plug in a wire while playing is something that really makes this headset standout. Comfort - full disclosure I got the wicked ear pads for MX50 and it certainly widened the sound stage and helped with bass, as well as helping with comfort (4 hour gaming session my ears got sweaty with stock pads, not with the wickeds). These headphones are heavier than the ATG1WL but you dont feel it on your head, i First hated the ski goggle head band but i love it now. Sound pass through - turning these off and having it go straight to your speakers without having to change audio source is FANTASTIC. MIC quality - coming form an at 2030 XLR, i was expecting to get some comments from my friends, no bother, they all said i sounded really great, just more condensed; i am not using the pop filter. I also love the pull out function of the mic and this made it stand out over the AT G1WL. EQ Options - I love having options to change the EQ and all that, having software to do so as well as an OLED transmitter is very nice and easy to use. You can play with it and find great sound options for everything, makes up for the okay sound. CONS: Sound - could be better especially with the stock ear cups, however, after playing with the EQ im very content with the sound, mind you im coming from a professional set up, AKG 702s with phantom power DAC. These are gaming headphones, not monitor headphones, Very happy with what they do. That said out of the box the G1WLs are noticeably better but i wasnt a fan of the V-shaped bass on those, really enjoy the balanced sound on these Arctis Pros and i can change the EQ for different types of musics and per game (fps vs. singleplayer (borderlands/destiny) vs. Co op game where i need more chat balance. Battery life is kind of meh but you get two batteries so idk if its really a con, just something to be aware of if you think you're too lazy to put the extra battery in the dock. Will update this if i suffer any QC issues but so far im very happy with my purchase and highly reccomend these headphones for a wireless gaming set up. The sound isnt insane but for wireless gaming headphones its very good with a ton of functionality and adjust ability.

Nothing to dislike. The sound quality is brilliant, very comfortable on the ears, the 2nd battery is a very nice addition. One thing that could be improved is the time before you get a low battery warning - would be nice if you could set that to a different number of minutes.

Awesome headset, love it.

I moved to this after some weird issues with some Audeze Mobius headphones. These things are incredible! So fully featured. I love using Dolby Atmos for Headphones with them, as it is incredibly immersive. Being able to hear sound from your phone as well as your PC is great, as you can pause a game, answer your phone and just talk. Amazing!

I first bought a SteelSeries arctis 5 about 5 years ago. I used it for a year and loved it a lot, but I had a cat that kept chewing up my wires. So after buying two replacement wires, I decided it was better for me to get a headset with a braided wire (because I didn’t trust wireless headphones for quality and I didn’t want to run out of battery half way through use and have to stop gaming or working with music). I decide to use a pretty cheap Razer Kraken v2 which I found at a really good price for a few years. I liked it, it was quite comfortable due to having larger ear cups than the steelseries, and leather ear pads were better for sound isolation. Flash forward 5 years later, I come across this new pro model which solves all my gripes about wireless headphones by having good quality Drivers and basically unlimited use time with it’s swappable batteries system. I thought I would hate the cloth ear pads / ear cushions so I ordered some leather ones as well - more on that later. I’ve been using them for about 2 weeks now and I have to say, I have no complaints about the product. I do find that I have to swap out the batteries mid session every 2-3 days and that breaks my workflow a bit, but the alternative of having to charge it mid-session is worse, and I also gain so much freedom from not being tethered. I move between my desk, to the bathroom, to the door to receive food/deliveries, so not needing to fumble around to make sure I don’t tangle anything as I put the headset back on it’s stand is a big convenience - well worth the occasional need to swap batteries out. 2 weeks in, the leather ear pads came, and I tried them out. About an hour into the session, I missed the cloth ones so much because leather was heating up. I had grown so used to the cloth ones and I remembered why I longed to use my Arctis 5 so much all these years, I always had a fondness for them, but I could never pinpoint it. The sound quality on this is also well above what the Razer Kraken v2 was providing, but that should be a given, seeing at this cost 4 times as much. My recommendation for this product is only for people who spend as much time at their desktop as me. I spend 10-15 hours a day working and gaming, so it’s a really important piece of hardware to me. If you spend less time than that, having an Astros or something that charges for one long(er) session would probably do. I don’t like needing to remember to charge my devices. At this price point, it’s a premium product, for professionals, but it lives up to it’s name.

O fone é incrivel, mas requer um pouco de dedicação para entender todas as configurações dele. O Software para PC que acompanha ele (Tem que baixar) é bastante intuitivo, tem tutorial de com fazer. O suporte responde vc em portugues. Ele é extremamente refinado, vc consegue ajustar cada detalhe, equelização impecavel, qualidade de som perfeita. O microfone tambem é bom, uma caracteristica muito legal, é o SIDETONE... Vc consegue escutar sem delay a propria voz, ideal para não atrapalhar outras pessoas na casa, vc se escuta e não fica berrando na madrugada. tem perfil pronto bem otimizado para os principais jogos. COD, BF, FORZA etc... Ele é multiplataforma, mas é so ligar usando o cabo que acompanha a dock, que inclusive é muito boa. tem duas baterias, varios cabos de conexão. As almofadas são boas, e o ajuste de cabeça com velcro, não perde a pegada uma vez ajustado. Da para carregar as baterias jogando, o arco é muito resistente feito de aluminio. um ponto negativo é do PC para a dock não vir USB-C, vem usb mini, (a outra versão vem, mas vc perde funções legais desta) em fim é só ligar uma vez pq não preciso mudar de fonte de audio o tempo todo. Ter o LED na ponta do microfone tb é util, vc sabe quando esta "mutado". Outra coisa legal é poder durante a jogatina vc conectar o bluetooth e atender uma chamada, ele muta o Jogo, vc fala com quem precisa e depois volta para o jogo sem precionar uma unica tecla. Resumindo pareço um fan-boy... mas o headset é isso ai... recomendo.
