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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I didnt see good quality, solid disadvantages.

I'm really furious that once again I get caught that I'm ready to pay money for a good thing, but I get a low-quality product for an overprice. I went through a lot of options and not one of them lived with me for more than 1.5 years, it’s clear that it’s not profitable for manufacturers to do quality work, I know this well because I work in a close field, but damn it, finally make an overprice but for a long time . In addition, I will say that I sincerely sympathize with those who once bought these headsets, I'm with you guys. Support SS fiery hello. Z. Y. I, like many, would not write a review, in fact more than a year has passed since the purchase, but maybe it will help someone not to make a mistake, think about whether it is worth it.

Pros
  • Good enough and loud sound, mids are not overpowered, positioning in games is not bad. Well, in the appendage, subjectively good design.
Cons
  • The disadvantages of a wagon and a small trolley, let's start with the fact that virtual 7.1 works just awful, if you turn it on, then often in games you will get something that, for example, there will simply be no sounds from behind or they will be very muffled, I tried to play with the settings, flash and in the end I just disabled this feature. Further, they fall short of audiophile ones, I would say very much, although the manufacturer positions them as universal, but in fact yes for games, but not for music, so this is just marketing. Further, the quality of the microphone is not even close to normal, I would not use it except for discord, those who write that streams are done in it Are you serious guys? I just don’t use this microphone and it’s a pity that it takes up space in the bowl and you can’t just remove it. Now let's come to the most important thing in my opinion, when you buy a headset for 300+$ you expect it to be for a long time, well, at least 3 years, but if you decide to choose SS, you should know that this headset will not last more than 1.5 years as If you don't try, why do you ask? Yes, everything is very simple, the engineers took care of it, the fact is that if you climb, for example, in ebay to look for such a headset BU, you will find that almost all sellers have cracks on the left bowl in the place where the headband is attached and this is not easy. When I came to the store to buy these headphones, he told me that they bring a lot under warranty with such a problem (he thought that they hit them on the floor) and since this was not a warranty case, they naturally denied the warranty, but then I did not attach any importance to this and bought. I remembered this a year later when I also had a crack and the headphones somehow began to sit wrong, I took it apart and saw that these guys from SS just stuck a metal headband pin into a plastic bowl and decided that it would do, but the plastic is thin, there is no amplification, when you put on the headphones, this pin is constantly in tension and at an angle, and over time it just breaks out the plastic and that's the end of the headset.

With its pros. Good sound, own external sound card Cons below: I changed three headphones in a year, all were handed over under warranty due to defects with speakers or volume control. VERY high marriage rate.
