Review on SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC Black Wired Gaming Headset - Certified Hi-Res Audio - Dedicated DAC and Amp - for PS5, PS4, and PC by Seo-jun Jun

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

Because everything is enhanced by having him around, I paid close attention to the surround sound. Without it, I do not even consider using a headset. After considering all of the options and reading the reviews, I chose to go with this one. I decided to go with a well-known German website because the computer equipment they offered was more cost effective in the year 2022. Approximately 14,000 can be spent on one of these. Even though delivery is not inexpensive, the overall process is still more profitable than it was in the year 2022. To begin, the digital audio controller (DAC) was very appealing to me. It is possible to make adjustments to almost everything that is included in the Steelseries software, including the equalizer, on this device. Using a USB cable is the easiest way to connect to a computer. Possibly 3.5 more after that. In addition, cables for mobile 3.5 and PS4 are included in the package. Then he examined how well it would sit on his head. They are comfortable to wear and do an effective job of masking outside noises due to their snug fit. The elastic at the top does not press down as firmly as the plantronics RIG 500 HD does, which results in a less comfortable fit. He claims that they made off with the material that is used to make ski masks. Although my head is not particularly large, the adjustment was not required. However, there is room for adjustment. Sound. I want to bring to your immediate attention the fact that these headphones come equipped with an external sound and DAC ESS Saber 9018Q2C. (USB). There is an implementation of DTS X 2.0 virtual surround sound. It functions very well, but in comparison to the plantronics RIG 500 HD, I did not notice a significant improvement. Unless they squeeze in closer, and because of this, the immersion is made more intense. But just as a point of reference, the plantronics RIG 500 HD in the old stalker game is able to emulate surround sound, while this headset was unable to do so. However, the rest of it is good. When it came to music, I did not notice a significant difference when using the plantronics RIG 500 HD (also with external sound, but without a DAC). However, if you adjust the equalizer, the sound will become more pleasing. Everyone adjusts for themselves because they believe that the basic sound is not good enough for the price. This was also a problem for international travelers. I share the same point of view. In addition, there is a 3.5 connector located on the left cup, which allows you to connect additional headphones so that you can listen to audio from both sets of cans simultaneously. The result is that the headset is of high quality. However, not for this price. I daresay that I could knock off a quarter of the price. It is essential that the equalizer be operational. Take caution when working with the DAC. However, in general, I believe that the price shouldn't be any higher than 10,000.

Pros
  • -External DAC with many benefits, including Chatmix (the ability to adjust the volume of the chat in Discord and the game relative to each other) and on-the-fly adjustment of the equalizer, volume, gain, mode, and backlight settings. - Its good looks and sturdiness - The fact that it is both comfortable to use and of high quality. — Front light? It is not important to me, but I can see how it could be beneficial to others. The ability to connect additional 3.5 mm headphones to them so that two people can listen to the same thing at the same time is a feature that really hits the nail on the head. A blessing for committed romantic relationships and music enthusiasts.
Cons
  • — Price (high taxes, in Germany on many well-known sites they cost 14,000 in terms of) - The DAC is very susceptible to scratches - The sound quality for the price (the equalizer saves a little) Emulation of surround sound does not always work properly in all environments (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. Taking this into consideration is also very important. You will not be able to place an order for replacement ear pads or an elastic band that sits next to the head on the official website.
