Worth Every Cent - Great for APEX LEGENDS!
I am not an audiophile, but I sure can put in hours and hours of gaming in a month. An I have had these Headphones for a good while now and can say I have no issues with them. I even recommended them to a buddy who had some turtle beach ones, and he said he's never been happier with this purchase either. So first and foremost I want to note HOW VALUABLE the double battery is! I literally have put in 12 hours or more gaming in a day and certainly within a weekend and just being able to pop the battery out and put in a new one is a god damn godsend. Not to mention the range of the headset is damn good as I can leave my bedroom in between matches and go check my laundry, dishwasher or whatever and still be able to speak to my squad and or just mute things and listen to key points of when a match is starting, etc.. An then you get into the sound quality for me, I have listened to Rezz, Kai Wachi, Subtronics, Dirt Monkey and so many other EDM artists and the sound and quality of music is fantastic, especially if you change the settings to music instead of performance. Again though I am not an audiophile and if you are buying these strictly for music I would maybe cross reference some reddit threads to see what other people think. However, for me, they work great, even used them for a run using the blue tooth and my phone before. On sound thought I can't stress enough how amazing these headphones are when playing competitive FPS games. Since I bought these headphones I was playing a lot of SMITE, MHW and Resident Evil etc.. (They are damn good for scary games too...) to where the true value besides just overall sound quality/immersion doesn't show. But I have been playing A LOT of Apex Legends ( around 200 games and only been playing for a week so far) and these have saved my ass countless times hearing footsteps, abilities, gunshots, supply drops, WHAT ever but ALSO being able to pinpoint the direction they are coming from and then relaying that information to my team so we can be prepared for an attack or surprise them with one. also to note these are almost entirely sound canceling while wearing. At least for me, they are and not even turned up all the way my roommate still has to shout at me to get my attention, so when I would play SMITE or other games I would typically run with one ear on and one-off, not so for Apex Legends. A for me THEY ARE entirely comfortable to wear for 8+ hours of gaming and now I am not a streamer just an average gamer advocate and lover. But yes, they are an investment, but I feel it has been entirely worth it as I have been able to use them for working out, watching movies/shows while my girlfriend is sleeping, music while I study for classes and then just to chat with friends in game and trust your mic will be of quality.

The best 7.1 on ps4 after quick earpad swap
I got these to upgrade from my A50’s for ps4 as the battery life had gotten terrible and they had started cutting out intermittently for no reason. When I first got the steelseries and hooked them up I was not impressed with the sound at all. I compared them a ton to the a50 and they fell short every time. The sound lacked soundstage and also substance. I was constantly trying to find a decent eq. Increasing the bass just made it sound boomy and without it all the preset eq’s sounded like turtle beach’s lame superhuman hearing mode lol. The only thing going for them soundwise was that they are tuned really good to pick out footsteps and directional audio. Enter wicked cushions(m50 size fits perfectly). Low end is enhanced. Isolation is enhanced. Soundstage is enhanced. And comfort is soooo enhanced!!!! They make the headphones go a little lower which def helps peeps with big heads like myself! These pads transform these headphones into the high end masterpieces they are meant to be!! All the preset eq’s are now spot on and these are the best gaming heaphones ive ever used and also sound amazing for music over bluetooth as well. Combine this upgrade with the dual battery and the precision surround sound of the dts v2 and youve got the best wireless gaming headset available today!! I cannot recommend them enough(after the mod) Anyone want to buy some Astros? lol.

Incredible and Versatile
I am extremely pleased with this headset so far. Sound quality is superb. Surround mode works excellent and almost imitates a home theater system. Clarity is great and bass response is outstanding. It's very comfortable; I can wear it for several hours without it bothering me. Build quality is excellent; the headset uses several soft-touch materials and metals. They work with all the devices and consoles I have, but still perform best with PS4 and PC. Xbox One supports the headset via the 3.5mm "mobile cable" plugged in to a controller, but surround and chat mix are not provided via the headset. The 3.5mm cable also works with Nintendo Switch for new games like Fortnite. It seems that most things that support 3.5mm headsets will work. Alternatively, Bluetooth can be connected to the Xbox or Nintendo apps on mobile, but it's a bit more of a hassle.

Arctis Pro + GameDAC is fantastic.
After a ton of research, I chose the Pro + GameDAC for my (primarily PS4) gaming needs. I was not disappointed. Pros: -Great sound (I would recommend formulating your own EQ setting as the ones provided were underwhelming) -DTS v2 works very well; especially when you adjust the game's specific audio to match. -Great build quality. Nothing feels cheap or skimped on. -Very comfortable. -Great noise-cancelling ability. -Simple yet concise packing Cons: -The cords provided can be much too short if you are planning on playing in a bigger room. Wasn't an issue for me personally but I can see where it would be. -Somewhat lacking in the information provided in the manual. It clearly explains all the button functions and correct ways to set up to different game systems. But there is no description about the GameDAC options really. So if you aren't familiar with audio, you may be googling things like "GAIN" and "Sidetone" and frequencies for your EQ. -Expensive. However, I considered this as an investment and do not feel my money wasn't well-spent. ****Although I personally wouldn't say these were "too quiet" out of the box, I have seen reviews state otherwise. To that, I DO think it is imperative to change the GAIN setting from "Low" to "High" in the GameDAC. It really unlocks their full potential with volume and EQ. Overall, although expensive, I do not regret this product purchase. I would put these up against any other headset in it's price range and it would wipe the floor with the competition.

Very good gaming headset on par, probably better than Astro A50
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.

Perfect For me living in a dorm, not much upgrade from the Arctis 7 Wireless!!!
5 Stars for me and my situation, most likely not for you though. Pros: -Amazing voice feedback -Removable rechargeable batteries - High-quality OLED DAQ - Multiple different audio source inputs. -Good build quality -Better color schemes Cons: -Not much improvement on sound or bass from the steel series arctic 7 wireless -Mic is good but hasn't improved from the 7's -Buggy software and setup As you can tell from my pros and cons I came from the steel series Artis 7 wireless although they have made some improvements and added a DAQ the sound quality is abysmal for the price, with little to no bass. The major perk of this headset for me was the voice feedback. Windows and other software can do this with your microphone connected to the PC but there is a major delay and acts as a speech jammer in a way. This headset has NO DELAY in the voice feedback! It's amazing! I live in college housing with very thin walls between our rooms and this keeps the noise complaints down because I do not have very good hearing and like playing games very loud and then can't hear my own voice when talking in-game which leads to me screaming. My major take away is yes they have added some incredible features from the 7's, but for someone who doesn't need to constantly be quite, I pearsonally dont belive its worth more than double the price of the arctis 7's

Amazing sound! PC gaming at its best
Don't pay much attn. to these negative reviews I read most and they are 90% personal issues / user set up issues not so much the product. My head is too big or small, ears to small for the ear pads, firmware issues, head band to small (if they read the manual they could have corrected that) RMA issues, and believe it or not some don't read the instructions LOL a simple setting switch and they would have known its not a defective headset wow. (This was for a review about the volume) Ya might think its your device or console with the issues? Some say top notch quality but rate it low because of these other things its get a bad review. Check them out for yourself. Want a great sounding surround sound immersive set of gaming headphones that are wireless grab these. I love mine just got them 2 days ago. My .02

SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless Is Amazing
The SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless headset takes the best parts of the SteelSeries Siberia 800 (dedicated wireless transmitter and two external rechargeable batteries) and SteelSeries Arctis 7 (comfort and quality) and combines them into one wonderful package. I have used the SteelSeries Siberia 800 for the last three years and have been a big fan of the headset. Recently, I upgraded to the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless headset. I use the headset primarily on my PC (though is compatible with PS4, Mobile phones and *possibly* with XB1 using a chat cable) and though its been a few days I have been really impressed with its sound, build quality, and ease of use out of the box. The sound quality can easily be ranked among the big boys such as Astro, HyperX, and LucidSound. The mic quality is top notch and can be adjusted in length to suit your mouth breathing needs. I was a little concerned based on user reviews about sound levels not being "loud" enough, but I can say that was easily put to rest after the first 5 minutes of use. This headset comes at you LOUD and clear. The headset is made of lightweight aluminum alloy and steel which means the headset has a consistent feel and fit that hopefully won't stretch over tons of use. It also features a "ski goggle headband" that can be adjusted for a tight or looser fit. Battery life wise, though each battery only lasts about 10 hours, I feel is easily compensated for by including 2 rechargeable batteries. The wireless transmitter acts as a charge station for the second battery and when it's needed to replace it takes just a quick pause to remove the speaker plate (which clamps shut using magnets) and switch batteries. The wireless transmitter will show both rechargeable battery levels, one detailing the battery life currently in use with the headset and the other while it is charging inside the wireless transmitter. Compared to the SteelSeries Siberia 800, they improved the overall ease of swapping batteries. I cannot stress how easy it is to do. Inside the box includes; 1 mobile charging cable, 1 USB audio cable, 1 power cable, 1 mobile audio cable, 1 optical audio cable, 1 soft mic mesh cover, 1 wireless transmitter and 2 rechargeable batteries. Instruction manual is simple and to the point, and took me about 5 minutes to set up and use. It is recommended to download SteelSeries Engine software to help manage and customize your headset, but can be used without the SteelSeries Engine software download. Personally, the software installed super quick, detected my headset with ease, and even updated the firmware all one swoop. Though the price can be steep compared to other similar headsets, the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless headset is a damn fine headset. Yes, it could have included RGB lighting like the wired Arctis Pro. Yes, they could have shaved $30 off and made it a $299 price point. Yes, switching batteries once every 10 hours might seem burdening, but I believe once you give it a try you will easily see, hear, and feel why the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless headset stands proudly with most top-end gaming headsets on the market! I definitely recommend!

Best Headset I have Ever Used
After using the Arctis Pro Wireless for about a week, I can say that this is the best headset that I’ve ever used. I’ve been using my headset for music on my commute and at my desk, and for FPS games at home. The design is sleek, and strays away from the “gamer” style headsets that you could never wear out in public with confidence. They are also designed with comfort in mind. The feel of the ski band is much, MUCH more comfortable than having the metal sit directly on the top of my head, and it’s easily adjustable. The earcups are a bit large and provide ample room to fit over the top of my ears without pressing them into my head. On the technical side, the sound quality is unbelievable. I play a lot of PUBG and I’ve heard footsteps and shots clearer and from farther than with my A50’s. Being able to stay connected to my PC while simultaneously taking a phone call or playing music from my phone over Bluetooth is a gamechanger. The SteelSeries engine is a bit complex at first but allows you to remove the volume limit and download updates if you have problems. Overall, I don’t think you could find a better headset.

These > Astro A50 (for ps4)
I had the astro a50s before this. I used both for ps4 and this is by far the best headset (wireless) i had for my ps4. I also had the razer thresher 7.1. Both with the thresher and a50 I would get feedback which was apparently caused by sidetones, which neither headsets allow to be adjusted. The arctis pro wireless does allow to adjust for sidetones so if youre constantly getting feedback cause of sidetones, that shouldnt be an issue with these. The sound is superb although I heard the sound on the wired and gamedac version is better but wireless is important for me as I have a toddler running around. The battery swap function is also a plus as you never have to worry if you forgot to charge as long as you keep one in the transmitter. They are also really comfortable. For the price range, it really comes down to these or the astros and speaking as someone who has both, go with these. The astros are trash, the headsets never lasted me more than two or three months before i had to send back for repairs and it was also a headache dealing with their customer service. Update: I have had these almost a yr now and have yet to have any issue with them. On rare occassions I may turn the headset on and get feedback but I just turn them off and back on again and problem solved. If you are thinking of these or the astro a50's, I would go with these. The astro a50 will work for about a month before you have to send them in for repairs and you better get the extended warranty.
