SteelSeries - Arctis Pro + GameDAC Wired DTS X v2.0 Gaming Headset for Playstation 5 and Playstation 4, PC - Black

Listen I had these for 6 months they sound good not bad at all but you have to setup the sound yourself to get the best to hear footsteps which sucked I think I had it the best tbh I didn't find myself having issues hearing after setup and had no problems with it at all just compared to the astro a50s these are 2nd best

Got this for my kid. Overall it’s good, but the ear cups keep breaking. For $250, you’d think that it would be more sturdy. It’s not even a year old and this one broke.

I've used countless headphones and headsets for gaming, Audio-Technica, BeyerDynamic, Sennheiser, Astros, HyperX, etc. Finding the right comfort AND stellar audio is really hard to find. I had been using the 2016 SteelSeries Arctis 5's and while they were super comfy, they lacked the punch and treble I was looking for, it sounded rather flat. Once I my new Arctis Pro w/GameDAQ arrived, I was able to set it up within minutes on my PC. The clamp force on the headset is a little more firm, allowing less of a sound leak in the ear cuffs. The super simplistic design of the ski goggle strap works wonders whether youre wearing a hat or not, alleviating the weight of the headset and reducing wear fatigue. The GameDAQ is simple to customize and navigate given the large knob and very legible LED display. The equalizer has presets but also allows you to set your own settings and it does not fail to deliver. Watching Netflix, listening to Tidal (for Hi-Res audio), and playing games like Siege and PUBG all welcomed the headset with open arms. There is literally nothing but love on this headset, you can tell SteelSeries wanted to offer something for those who really wanted a focus on audio in the days of graphics, graphics, graphics. The highs and lows are accurate and you feel it. The situational audio works flawlessly, you know whats approaching from all sides. (SteelSeries Software hasn't updated at the time of this review)

I’m not going to lie, I bought these fully intending to return them. I just wanted to see how they compared to my A40s so I could feel superior that I own the best out there. Now, four days later, I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to explain the $250 Best Buy charge to my SO. No way are these going back. I’ve been gaming since childhood and have gone thru countless headsets over the years. These, by far and away, blow everything else out of the water. There’s simply no comparison. Where to begin? Fit and finish are impeccable. These are super high quality and really good looking; I can actually see myself wearing these outside, which I would have never done with every other headset I’ve owned. Set up was painless and more intuitive than I expected. Audio is unlike anything I’ve ever heard before in a gaming headset. Who knew Rainbow Six had so much depth of sound? It’s changed my game play as I’m now hearing things in places I hadn’t prior and I’m really getting a sense of distance that I never had. It’s incredible. Bottom line, these are the game changer I didn’t know I was waiting for. Anyone in the market for some used Astros?

My experience is with PS4 Pro console. I have only gamed on console(all playstations). My experience with headsets are mostly with Turtle Beach products (wireless, COD edition ones), Sony Gold, and most recently, TB elite 800. I play, COD, Smite, Fortnite. I enjoy the sound aspect of games, how it develops what you see and how you play. I am not an expert audio head, just really enjoy "total emersion" into my gaming. My first experience with SteelSeries product. The headset feels so clean and worth the price. Simple button control on the headset makes for less fumbling around, or hitting something on accident. It is a very comfortable headset. I have a medium head size, (7 3/8 hat size), and never felt squeezed or uncomfortable. Setup was very simple. PS4 recognized it, and simple instructions off the DAC walked me right through the process. Take your time and play with the DAC. See what it does and doesn't do. Do the firmware update. You paid for the headset, get it right. Wires are a little wild out of the DAC, so make sure you clean it up. Cable length from headset to the DAC is shorter than I would have hoped for. If it is designed for PC AND console, it should accommodate for the length at which most gamers play from. The DAC itself, is simple and easy to navigate. The sound is tricky. You really have to take your time. The mix chat, the EQ, the new DTS upgrade, takes time to tweek. But the result is worth it. It is loud, it captures all the little details, (especially in Fortnite), and I was very happy with the result. I don't have stats or specific detailed spreadsheets to explain this headset. Just been playing games for twenty years, and this headset brings everything! Hi Res audio feature? Why not! Spares me having to get ANOTHER headset to do the same thing. Will you use it much, doubt it. But you have it!! Overall, the headset feel matches the price. The headset quality matches the price. The sound will match the price, once you tune it to what personally works for you. Only reason it is not a 5 star rating, the cord from headset to DAC needs to be longer. I got wired headset for a change of pace. Lights on headset, guess its cool, if i look in a mirror! Hope to really really enjoy this headset.

I have been using these headphones for about a month now. I really enjoy the quality of them and how they sound. My only issue is getting the settings to work all the time...user error though and I am learning how to fine tune the settings. Would highly recommend getting if you listen to a lot of audio via your computer or video game a lot.

Great headphones for gaming. Mic really does sound good my discord friends were impressed. Sound is top notch but i haven't tried really really expensive headphones with an amp to compare. I've had these for a while and they are still great

Great product the only problem that I had was there were too many cables connected to my PS4 and everything got tangled. After, a month I started hearing a static through the headset.
