Review on SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC Black Wired Gaming Headset - Certified Hi-Res Audio - Dedicated DAC and Amp - for PS5, PS4, and PC by Nguyn Qu Ph (Nhn) ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

I looked closely at the surround sound, because. everything gets better with him. Without it, I no longer consider headsets. Of all the options available, reading reviews, I decided to take this one. Due to the high price in the 2022, I chose a well-known German site with more profitable computer equipment. There they cost about 14,000. Delivery is also not cheap, but in total it is still more profitable than in the 2022. First of all, I liked the DAC. Almost everything that is in the Steelseries software can be adjusted on it, including the equalizer. Connecting to a computer is simple - USB. Possibly 3.5 more. There are also cables for PS4 and mobile 3.5 in the kit. Then he assessed the fit on the head. They fit snugly, muffle the sounds of the environment well. The elastic on top does not press down as hard as the plantronics RIG 500 HD, which fit less well. According to him, they took the material from which ski masks are made. Adjustment was not needed, although my head is not very small. But it is possible to adjust. Sound. I will point out right away that these headphones are with an external sound and DAC ESS Saber 9018Q2C (USB). There is DTS X 2.0 virtual surround sound. It works quite well, although I did not notice much difference from the plantronics RIG 500 HD. Unless they sit more tightly and due to this, the immersion is stronger. But, for comparison, plantronics RIG 500 HD in the old stalker game can emulate surround sound, but this headset failed. But the rest is good. In music, I didn’t notice much difference with plantronics RIG 500 HD (also with external sound, but without a DAC). But the sound becomes better if you adjust the equalizer. Foreigners also faced the same problem - everyone adjusts for themselves, considering the basic sound not good enough for the money. I am of the same opinion. Also - on the left cup there is a 3.5 connector, you can connect other headphones and hear on both at the same time. Outcome: The headset is good. But not for this money. A quarter of the price I would boldly cut off. The equalizer needs to work. Handle the DAC with care. But in general they should cost no more than 10,000 in my opinion.

Pros
  • -External DAC with many advantages: Chatmix (adjusting the volume of the chat in discord and the game relative to each other) and setting the equalizer, volume, gain, mode, backlight on the fly - Appearance and solidity - Comfortable and quite good microphone — Backlight? It's not important to me, but it will be a plus for someone. - Landing on the head — The ability to connect other 3.5 headphones to them and listen to something together with someone at the same time. For loving couples-music lovers - a godsend.
Cons
  • — Price (high taxes, in Germany on many well-known sites they cost 14,000 in terms of) -DAC scratches very easily -Sound quality for this price (the equalizer saves a little) - Surround sound emulation does not work correctly everywhere (in particular, the stalker game) - If you need to buy a replacement DAC or accessories for headphones, you need to try, steelseries does not directly supply goods to the 2022, probably the government prohibits it. This is also important to consider. You can not go to the official website and order spare ear pads or an elastic band adjacent to the head.
