just a tip for you, if you are gonna do a good headset / headphone review, covering the sound signature is worth mentioning as prefered signature is very subjective.
You're getting a little confused with the marketing speak there. The high res audio refers to the quality of the audio, and not necessarily to the range at which the audio can be reproduced and heard. For example, audio played at studio quality at 24 bits and 96khz as opposed to cd quality at 16 bits and 48khz. It's important to know the difference and the significance of that difference.
Upgraded from Siberia 840 . The pro wireless on PS4 is amazing logged on did update on Series 3 engine. Very comfortable headset to wear. Online friends say the voice is very clear and sounds like I was in the room with them.
I'm considering these as I need a new pair of headsets, can you elaborate on updating the series 3 engine please? Is that something that is done via the PS4 or would I need to hook these up to a computer/ laptop to do that? TIA.
Spot on , great review covered everything. If i had to point out something maybe he could of done a mic test but either way great review! Keep it up!!!
Is it possible to connect the GameDAC with the Arctis Wireless Headset? So that you can get more quality out of it, lose a little bit of mobility because of the cable, but that you can use it wireless if you want, but also use it like the GaneDAC version?
the wireless is too expensive. It makes me want to buy the wired headphones. And when I think about buying the wireless headphones . . . I just want to buy a non-gaming set and just get a really good audiophile set. It's the price that's ruins it for me. After thinking about it, I could maybe justify getting the wireless option if it was the cost of the wired one.
@TechteamGB is there a better, newer version of the Arctis Pro + GameDac headset now? I'm a bit baffled with their lineup at the moment with all the different recommendations going on. Especially with you comparing these with the Arctis 5 and 7.
I'm thinking about getting the wired +GameDAC set as I need hi-fi sound for the bluray disc concert songs I listen to plus it has a little bit of effect to the highs and lows - not a lot though, for gaming. So that's what I may be buying. Thinking about it...
When I buy tech, I always go for the best if and whenever I can. I've bought highend premium priced stuff in the past because when it comes to tech, if you want the best. . . well. . . be prepared to pay the best for it. If I didn't already have my eyes already on a separate amp n dac, I might have given these cans a hard look. But my beef with these cans is you're locked into the steel series eco system once you buy these. I would much rather buy a set of cans that I personally prefer [which I did "mass senns HD6xx], and get the amp/dac that I want [which I will "mayflower arc and senns gsx1000"]. Good review though, and thanks for the info man.
That is just a given amongst all headsets. It would have to go through at least 2 more generations of wireless tech to actually be able to keep up with wired.
Great review. I just bought the wired set. Sound quality is great and they are very comfortable. Debating on getting the wireless simply for convenience. Wish they included a longer wire. I'll compare the 2 and likey you know what I think. Liked and subbed you just now but the way.
envied enemy Wait you serious? Produce music with them? Anyone producing music hopefully has something called braincells and therefor wont be using gaming headsets. For producing music a very warm recommendation would be the DT 770. Affordable and very good. Many known producers using them aswell. Sorry for the harsh message, i got triggered by your comment.
I'll share my thoughts. I currently own the Siberia 800 (formerly the Wireless H) and I currently have my TV/PS4 Pro/Xbox One X hooked up to the them via an optical out switcher and it works perfectly. One headset for all of my needs in my entertainment center. Would love to upgrade to the Arctis Pro Wireless but would like to know if Xbox support is included since the packaging only mentions PS4/PC.
I scrolled to all these comments but yet nobody complained about the ear-cup on the hinge that breaks after a while (google Steelseries Arctis break) please tell me is it still good?
Clear concise review well presented as expected but for some one with big ears how do they compare in size to the voids ? Internal ear cup no one ever has a big ear review lol good job keep it up
I like the headset I'm 14 I'm going to buy them but I don't know about the EQ or how to use it but do you think I might get the hang of it??? And what site can I buy the wired from
Thanks for the video but most of this data is just regurgitated from the Steelseries website.. I ask why are you reviewing high end headsets when you can't tell the difference between high end audio quality vs average audio quality. I have these on order and will provide an update Monday when mine turn up. Cheers
I bought the wireless today arrives Thursday I’m hoping the wireless range allows me to go to the kitchen and let the dog out the back door without cutting out like my Bluetooth ones did. For 250 it felt acceptable for the quality based on reviews 330 would have been a tough sell.
Harrison Klapos pretty much the same, if you just want to wear them when you go to grab a drink or something and want to change the battery go wireless if not then go with the wired one
Thanks for the information in this headset. I’m browsing TH-cam to look for a good console gaming headset. As a hobby I’ve recently started streaming so this may be a good consideration. Do you happen to know if the Arctis Pro+GameDAC and Arctis pro wireless have the same features as far as being able to stream the three connectivity options simultaneously?
The title is misleading, it suggest you reviewed a Steelseries Arctis 7 Pro Wireless +GAMEDAC, but that Modell does not exist. Those are two separate Versions.
negative. Just the wired PRO version. There is 3 versions. I have the cheapest of the 3. Looked it up, it's the same exact one as the GameDAC version. I can buy the gamedac separately down the road, and it'll be the same as the 250.00 version.
Hey Andrew. From what you just said, the wired headset has a special port to connect to dac while the wirless only has a micro USB. So the wireless won't work on the dac and the wired won't work on the wirless transmitter?
The Wireless also has the 9 pin port so it would work on the GAMEDAC. The wired could work on the Wireless received but only by using the 3.5mm headphone jack adapter.
TechteamGB that's nice! When I watched your video I didn't see the pin port in the wireless. It's so expensive I hope it would work with both. I don't wanna.spend another 250 to 350 bucks. I just want to buy the receiver or dac. Do you know if the wireless provide the same audio quality as the wired when connected to the dac?
Tyler Serafin dude... thank you so much.. that comment was 100000 times better than any review I’ve heard on TH-cam. I never knew the difference between open and closed back! Thank you man I’m def going to check those out! I know you said your particular to AT but what do you think of sennhesier? I would imagine they have competing headsets? My current headset and really only one I’ve had for pc is the g933 so I like your comparison as Well!
+msp Yes I can return it, and I will. Closed back is not "more suitable" for gaming. Again, it's a matter of preference. The difference is that it blocks out, outside noise, so some say that is "better for gaming" I personally do not live in a noisy house, and while I think music and TV Shows sound great on the Steelseries headphones, when I play games, the audio just isn't up to par. Neither Stereo or Surround Sound produced the same quality of my Open Back Audio-Technicas. They didn't get nearly as loud, they lock your windows sounds at 100% so you have to use the DAC Dial, which is marked from -55 to 0. Yes, negative 55. As well as like I said, the sound wasn't as precise, I couldn't make out where people are, and that tends to be important as I play Counter-Strike on a high level, and competitively. If you're used to the noise canceling I suppose it would be fine, otherwise, for someone like myself, it just wasn't able to highlight the important details nor did it sound nearly as good. That whole "Closed back is better for gaming" is a myth. It's all about preference, Open back has a larger soundstage, and definately sounds better, not that, that neccessilary matters for gaming, because it doesn't. For "Gaming" it's all about if you care about noise canceling, which I don't.
I am a PS4 player I am currently looking for a good gaming headset my thoughts on these headphones is that the artist pro plus game DAC seem pretty good for its price but The only thing that kills me is the wire I can understand the price and the model of the headset but I am more of a wireless guy and for $50 or $60 dollars more I would rather go for the wireless version It seems more professional the price obviously says it I do like the fact that they added two battery packs I know I hate charging my Mic every time it dies Or swapping out head sets My main priority is good sound quality it does really give you the top edge on the gaming specially when it comes to competitive Thanks to your video I’ve made my mind up I will purchase the arctis pro wireless I am expecting a lot from these headsets due to the price.
Literally every other review on these two cans say the audio quality are more or less identical. Why do you feel they each relate to different predecessor cans?
my siberia 840 ear piece is bit broken. fixed with tape atm so its a hotfix but im looking for a replacer now. just ordered a keyboard might have to cancel that one and get a headset, and this artic pro wireless is exactly what im looking for . do you suppose the batteries works for the artic? those from the siberia 840 ?
Is it good for FPS Games like COD and for “Footsteps” ? And is it better than Astro A50 compared to Arctis pro wireless ? Does is have 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound ? Plz Help
Hello ,i have in a past astro a50 and i have since one year arctis pro wireless ..iam on ps4 ..and arctis pro wireless is so far better than a50 :sound ,surround ,easy To use ,equalizer ,louder ...arctis is best ..my only complain is a tchat (voice of my friend ) ,is sound low vs game (you can adjust tchat vs game ), but its not a real problem ..if steelseries boost tchat ×2 ,we are more control for game vs tchat..but sound is really better vs astro (arctis is a close back headset,astro open back so surround is more large scène audio vs arctis, but arctis have a best sound ! But astro have a mettalic sound ,arctis more natural sound ...its just my opinion (sorry for my english its not first language )
Arctis have more impact sound vs astro ,better hear footstep with arctis pro wireless, and for fps, movies, musique is really really good ! And wireless is really good vs astro a50
I am a PS4 and PC guy. I purchased the wireless version yesterday from Best Buy. I'm still waiting to receive them in the mail but I am very excited about these. I've gone through countless headsets and I am still trying to find the perfect pair for me. I'm hoping these are comfortable. I had the Arctis 7 a while ago and my left ear was irritated from rubbing against the inside left cup. These look great though.
Capcom have decided (at long last) to release the remake of Resident Evil 2 (25/01/19) so I've pre-ordered it! Need some decent cans then? Bought the wireless ones, even though I can't really afford it but life is short!
One thing I was wondering, probably a stupid question but I hope someone will still answer. Does the base station of the wireless version support/include the same features/settings as the game dac(except the high res thingy)?
no, there cloth and though a closed back design they breath really well. Im one of those OCD dudes that always has hot red ears and when i use the wrong headset my ears get very uncomfortable and hot to the point i need to remove normal ones after about an hour and with these i can go about 3.5-4 hours before i feel the need to adjust at all and never do my ears sweat in these like they have even in the sennheiser game one which typically has no heat issues for people like me.
I wanted to ask a question that I haven't seen an explicit answer for yet. I'll be using this for both PS4 and PC, and I will be using these for both comms and sound. My question is, is this possible to do with this headset and be able to switch between the two seamlessly, or will I need to be unplugging the USB cord whenever I want to use the other system, because I think I read the PS4 requires a USB connection for game-chat, or something like that, I could be wrong. Any help is appreciated.
TechteamGB Thank you for the quick reply. So I don't think the wireless version comes with the DAC, rather the main hub thing. And just to be clear, I want to be able to use comms on my PC and PS4.
is that little box that comes withe wireless basically like a game dac for it everyone says that sound is better on a wire is this true what would you actually reccomend?
Yes they do but you can get rid of it by turning on the volume limiter in the steelseries program. It does make them less loud but you can toggle it off if you want loudness over clarity whenever you want.
@@alienufoweird I knew about the volume limiter thing, but i still hear it clearly. i have very sensitive hearing thats why. I just swapped it for the wired one
I'm a little confuse, so is the the wireless pro already Analog sound? Can you buy the Game DAC with the Artis Pro Wireless? Or does the game DAC only comes with the wired one? Someone explain please
The Official Website says it actually doesn’t have the high res audio, only the wired ones, I’ve been so confused since I’ve had these but yes very nice headset
Yea I had the a 20 and my friend had an a 50 which is the same as he said... in terms of sound quality and now I have the wireless pro and they are much better specially if you tweak the eq to whatever you intrested in
I now got the Steelseries Arctis Pro ,+ Game DaC I had TURTLE BEACH all my love many headphones. I changed because FaZe Clan isn't using Turtle Beach anymore just Optic Gaming. I had to charge my recon 200 AND IT WASN'T EVEN WIRELESS.
I can confirm that the wireless version does not punch hard enough. You can disable the volume limiter but then the audio gets distorted. Such a sad outcome for a 300$ + headset. You may have better luck with the wired cert version
You could possibly use the Optical in the PS4 and the USB in the PC, however that would require the PC to be on and you wouldn't be able to talk on PS.
Well.. There are some ways that may work or may not.. Like getting a special usb cable where the mini-USB is divided into two USB.. The best way to do it (Which do work!) Is to use the 2.4Mhz channel in to the PC and the Bluetooth channel in to the PS4..(Or the other way around!) But since you get the best sound and options/settings on PC (Like DTS 7.1 and REAL High-res 40K plus and the software Arctis Engine 3 with the wirless pro only if it's connected to PC via the 2.4Mhz channel). (Got mine at a sale a couple of month ago.. Ran into the black edition which I got for 150$..Which was strange because the white edition were like 350$..!?! So I grabbed the black ones, hooked them up. After about 30 seconds I started cursing myself for not paying more attention to audio before.. 😔 But since then my life is alot better! 😊 (Sorry for the offtopic!)
I love them. They highlight the right types of sounds, easy setup, fair battery. As far as I've seen, the pro wireless fixes all the negatives and improves the good parts of the 7. Now adjustable fit and deeper earcups are the big reason i want the pro. The arctis 7's earcups and shallow and my ear rubs the driver.
So did you notice any difference of sound between the wired with DAC and wireless without DAC coz my setup doesn't allow me to have a wired headset so I am just wondering if a wired is better than a wireless then I won't go for this headset at all
Does the optical in port function while the wireless hub is set to PC? I currently use Astro A40 tr + mixamp, and with them I am able to connect my PC through USB, and then connect my Xbox through the optical connection. This doesn't allow chatting on the Xbox, and limits the PC output to stereo (As the optical connection being plugged in takes over the Astro Game channel on the PC, limiting both default and communication device to the Astro Voice channel.) but I want to hear high quality audio from my Xbox One while being able to hear some audio and communicate via the PC, ideally without using Bluetooth. I'd love to find a wireless solution that works for this without having to go the A50 route.
It allows up to 2 and wired source used at same time + Bluetooth. You can listen + talk to PC via USB or Analog + Listen to music via Optical in or Any other cable + answer calls on your phone while in game - All at same time! How many times you hear "I'm back, sorry was on phone". With this headset you can talk ingame and on phone at same time! (muting mic on pc or phone or talking to both)
Sorry im WRONG. Just got my wireless pro in mailbox, All who said that its worth upgrade is wrong! I've got both Siberia 840 and wireless pro. Siberia 840 has Live Mix with multiple input sources (like i described above) wireless pro DOESNT!
I ended up getting this and it does handle things as I would like it to. If set to the PS4 mode with the optical to the console and the USB to the PC you can listen to the console and listen/chat on the PC. You don't get chat mix, as the mix is between the PC and console, but this is exactly what I wanted, being able to hear both and chat on the PC.
Adam Smith Is the wired better than astro a40tr? Back in ps3 days i used astro a40 mayby gen1? And loved surround sound on them it was so good but headset broke 2 years ago and now been using just basic logitech headphones but want to go back on better headphones but i dont know is a40tr outdated these days? Both cost same ammount money. Hope you can help
I play on ps4 pro. Which ones should i get. Arctic pro wireless or the. Artic pro. Wired whats the best and do they get lound enough please let me know thankyou
Both versions have full PS4 support, so it really comes down to which setup works best for you. The GameDAC provides the best possible audio quality, but the wireless is still very high fidelity.
Whoever said that obviously doesn't know what the word means. Nonetheless it takes 5 seconds to change the battery thnx to the magnetic covers so no biggie.
keggerous, maybe if you’re torn about the price you should also consider something like beyerdynamic dt990 and a modmic. Safe bet for better sound quality, mic quality and positional audio. And you would have money left over i guess. Just something to consider. i’m personally a sennheiser kind of guy. You can use equalizer apo to setup eq but yeah, that phone integration sure could be appealing.
Hello thanks for your vidéo,do you known if this arctis pro wireless is a good more value that m'y siberia 840 (i love it ) in therm of sound and DTS headphones is better that dolby digital of m'y siberia 840 ? Thanks

My thoughts EXACTLY. I just keep going back and forth in this endless circle...
i dunno man,the wireless is 90 $ more than wired and with that you get 2 batteries + charger +bluetooth+ the best gaming wireless reciever on them ^^
If you're too worried about the price than you'll never be happy with what you get. Sometimes you have to pay to play.

what do you mean "steelseries eco system". it's not like buying their keyboards together with the headset would give you any advantage.
that DAC allows you to plug in other headsets via a 3.5mm jack. So no ecosystem exists.
Will these work with PS5 if so will buy some when I get my PS5
Yeah they do but the audio is kind of dimmed a little, but they should update it soon so it fixes that.

As well as like I said, the sound wasn't as precise, I couldn't make out where people are, and that tends to be important as I play Counter-Strike on a high level, and competitively. If you're used to the noise canceling I suppose it would be fine, otherwise, for someone like myself, it just wasn't able to highlight the important details nor did it sound nearly as good. That whole "Closed back is better for gaming" is a myth. It's all about preference, Open back has a larger soundstage, and definately sounds better, not that, that neccessilary matters for gaming, because it doesn't. For "Gaming" it's all about if you care about noise canceling, which I don't.
Tyler Serafin would the sennheiser HD600 and mod mic 5 be a good option?
Wired or Wireless. Which is better?
good video. i now see my next headset
Did you get the wired or wireless?
Whats the best of them?
I have the Arctis Pro + Game DAC, Rival 600 and Apex Pro in a few day
I am a PS4 player I am currently looking for a good gaming headset my thoughts on these headphones is that the artist pro plus game DAC seem pretty good for its price but The only thing that kills me is the wire I can understand the price and the model of the headset but I am more of a wireless guy and for $50 or $60 dollars more I would rather go for the wireless version It seems more professional the price obviously says it I do like the fact that they added two battery packs I know I hate charging my Mic every time it dies Or swapping out head sets My main priority is good sound quality it does really give you the top edge on the gaming specially when it comes to competitive Thanks to your video I’ve made my mind up I will purchase the arctis pro wireless I am expecting a lot from these headsets due to the price.
Anything wireless is not Pro.

Literally every other review on these two cans say the audio quality are more or less identical. Why do you feel they each relate to different predecessor cans?
my siberia 840 ear piece is bit broken. fixed with tape atm so its a hotfix but im looking for a replacer now. just ordered a keyboard might have to cancel that one and get a headset, and this artic pro wireless is exactly what im looking for . do you suppose the batteries works for the artic? those from the siberia 840 ?
Is it good for FPS Games like COD and for “Footsteps” ?
And is it better than Astro A50 compared to Arctis pro wireless ?
Does is have 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound ? Plz Help
Hello ,i have in a past astro a50 and i have since one year arctis pro wireless ..iam on ps4 ..and arctis pro wireless is so far better than a50 :sound ,surround ,easy To use ,equalizer ,louder ...arctis is best ..my only complain is a tchat (voice of my friend ) ,is sound low vs game (you can adjust tchat vs game ), but its not a real problem ..if steelseries boost tchat ×2 ,we are more control for game vs tchat..but sound is really better vs astro (arctis is a close back headset,astro open back so surround is more large scène audio vs arctis, but arctis have a best sound ! But astro have a mettalic sound ,arctis more natural sound ...its just my opinion (sorry for my english its not first language )
Arctis have more impact sound vs astro ,better hear footstep with arctis pro wireless, and for fps, movies, musique is really really good ! And wireless is really good vs astro a50
Is it worth in 2021?
Now on my 2nd pair of pro wireless. still the same white/static noise. Did you experience white/static noise or did I just get 2 faulty ones?
All the Pro Wireless do that.
I am a PS4 and PC guy. I purchased the wireless version yesterday from Best Buy. I'm still waiting to receive them in the mail but I am very excited about these. I've gone through countless headsets and I am still trying to find the perfect pair for me. I'm hoping these are comfortable. I had the Arctis 7 a while ago and my left ear was irritated from rubbing against the inside left cup. These look great though.
Do you still have the ear problem with these?
Have you tried them with USB 3.0? Do they have a fix for that yet?
The audio quality where best on steelseries arctis pro or arctis pro wireless?
Would you rather better microphone sound quality?
Would you rather have wireless with interchangable batteries?
That's the only difference for me.
Would the wireless version work with the gamedac? would that improve its quality if it was wired to it?
It would work - although no real quality difference I noticed.
Capcom have decided (at long last) to release the remake of Resident Evil 2 (25/01/19) so I've pre-ordered it! Need some decent cans then? Bought the wireless ones, even though I can't really afford it but life is short!
One thing I was wondering, probably a stupid question but I hope someone will still answer. Does the base station of the wireless version support/include the same features/settings as the game dac(except the high res thingy)?
Is these headset will get hot after long sessions of gaming?
no, there cloth and though a closed back design they breath really well. Im one of those OCD dudes that always has hot red ears and when i use the wrong headset my ears get very uncomfortable and hot to the point i need to remove normal ones after about an hour and with these i can go about 3.5-4 hours before i feel the need to adjust at all and never do my ears sweat in these like they have even in the sennheiser game one which typically has no heat issues for people like me.
I wanted to ask a question that I haven't seen an explicit answer for yet. I'll be using this for both PS4 and PC, and I will be using these for both comms and sound. My question is, is this possible to do with this headset and be able to switch between the two seamlessly, or will I need to be unplugging the USB cord whenever I want to use the other system, because I think I read the PS4 requires a USB connection for game-chat, or something like that, I could be wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
If you have the USB connected to the pc, and optical out from PS4 connected to the dac, it should be a seamless switch.
TechteamGB Thank you for the quick reply. So I don't think the wireless version comes with the DAC, rather the main hub thing. And just to be clear, I want to be able to use comms on my PC and PS4.
is that little box that comes withe wireless basically like a game dac for it everyone says that sound is better on a wire is this true what would you actually reccomend?
Is it just me or do my wireless pair have a white noise?
Yes they do but you can get rid of it by turning on the volume limiter in the steelseries program. It does make them less loud but you can toggle it off if you want loudness over clarity whenever you want.
@@alienufoweird I knew about the volume limiter thing, but i still hear it clearly. i have very sensitive hearing thats why. I just swapped it for the wired one
I'm a little confuse, so is the the wireless pro already Analog sound? Can you buy the Game DAC with the Artis Pro Wireless? Or does the game DAC only comes with the wired one? Someone explain please
at the audio level in fps (steps, noises) better wireless or wired?
Can i connect arctis pro game DAC with my iphone? If yes how? Thanks
The Official Website says it actually doesn’t have the high res audio, only the wired ones, I’ve been so confused since I’ve had these but yes very nice headset
What’s better these or Astro a40
since you play rainbow six siege, i would like to ask you which one sounds better in that game?
I really didn't notice a difference between the two. Much more on the feature set side.
Better than the astro a50???
Yea I had the a 20 and my friend had an a 50 which is the same as he said... in terms of sound quality and now I have the wireless pro and they are much better specially if you tweak the eq to whatever you intrested in
The artics pro wireless are 7.1 and if they are How you set it up?
Are the pro wireless worth it for xbox one x?
Amanda Ward wondering if it’s even compatible with Xbox
I have an Xbox one and it works for it as well. Just look it up on TH-cam and there's a guy that explains how to do it.
@@hisdesciples does it involve going through a pc to do it or connecting to the controller with a cable?

I now got the Steelseries Arctis Pro ,+ Game DaC I had TURTLE BEACH all my love many headphones. I changed because FaZe Clan isn't using Turtle Beach anymore just Optic Gaming. I had to charge my recon 200 AND IT WASN'T EVEN WIRELESS.
I can confirm that the wireless version does not punch hard enough. You can disable the volume limiter but then the audio gets distorted. Such a sad outcome for a 300$ + headset. You may have better luck with the wired cert version
Another reviewer said disable the limiter and tweak a custom EQ. Basically, the stock EQ setting don't work well that way.
They are great i have them ane tweaked the eq all good now with volume limiter off
I have the astro A50, I want another pair, would you prefer the wireless or wired..
The wired one
Hi Guys I have a Asus Z590 gaming Rog Strix MB I was going for the Pro set without DAC's is that the correct decision? help
So can i buy the wireless version and have the option to keep it wired instead of wireless ? anybody know ?
Can you connect the PS4 and PC at the same time. so that i can switch between both and not have to be moving the cable each time?
You could possibly use the Optical in the PS4 and the USB in the PC, however that would require the PC to be on and you wouldn't be able to talk on PS.
Well.. There are some ways that may work or may not.. Like getting a special usb cable where the mini-USB is divided into two USB..
The best way to do it (Which do work!) Is to use the 2.4Mhz channel in to the PC and the Bluetooth channel in to the PS4..(Or the other way around!)
But since you get the best sound and options/settings on PC (Like DTS 7.1 and REAL High-res 40K plus and the software Arctis Engine 3 with the wirless pro only if it's connected to PC via the 2.4Mhz channel).
(Got mine at a sale a couple of month ago.. Ran into the black edition which I got for 150$..Which was strange because the white edition were like 350$..!?!
So I grabbed the black ones, hooked them up. After about 30 seconds I started cursing myself for not paying more attention to audio before.. 😔 But since then my life is alot better! 😊
(Sorry for the offtopic!)
Just bought the arctis 7 a few weeks ago. Would've totally bought the pro wireless if they were out at the time.
Ah fair enough, how are you enjoying the 7's?
I love them. They highlight the right types of sounds, easy setup, fair battery. As far as I've seen, the pro wireless fixes all the negatives and improves the good parts of the 7. Now adjustable fit and deeper earcups are the big reason i want the pro. The arctis 7's earcups and shallow and my ear rubs the driver.
oh man! I know the feeling . . . I wish companies did a better job of letting customers know about this kind of thing.
same, but I was still in time to return mine with Amazon...so they are going back tomorrow and the pro wireless are on their way to me now :P
Tyler Serafin they should be with me Tuesday :) and no problem.
So did you notice any difference of sound between the wired with DAC and wireless without DAC coz my setup doesn't allow me to have a wired headset so I am just wondering if a wired is better than a wireless then I won't go for this headset at all
I see that the receiver has the ability to change the source from PS4/PC. Does it have options for TV and Xbox?
It has pc, PS4 and aux. No specific mention of xbox or TV.
So game dac have the 96khz option only. does all games support this? I play long session game like 12 hours think i skip the wireless
I bought the pros without the amp. I wanted to ask do all the headsets use the same drivers
These headsets good for siege ?
Can you please help me out I just bought the same ones for PS4 what’s the best EQ settings to make to hear footsteps
depends on the game try tweaking it yourself and find the perfect settings for the game you are playing
Im curious for this aswell
@@sauusa6294 I think the DAC has a preset called "performance" which enhances the high tones.
Same question here...I cant find a good EQ for COD..
Galacticos SV me either the game volume is higher than my friends voice in party chat and I tried everything
Does the optical in port function while the wireless hub is set to PC? I currently use Astro A40 tr + mixamp, and with them I am able to connect my PC through USB, and then connect my Xbox through the optical connection. This doesn't allow chatting on the Xbox, and limits the PC output to stereo (As the optical connection being plugged in takes over the Astro Game channel on the PC, limiting both default and communication device to the Astro Voice channel.) but I want to hear high quality audio from my Xbox One while being able to hear some audio and communicate via the PC, ideally without using Bluetooth. I'd love to find a wireless solution that works for this without having to go the A50 route.
It allows up to 2 and wired source used at same time + Bluetooth. You can listen + talk to PC via USB or Analog + Listen to music via Optical in or Any other cable + answer calls on your phone while in game - All at same time! How many times you hear "I'm back, sorry was on phone". With this headset you can talk ingame and on phone at same time! (muting mic on pc or phone or talking to both)
Thanks for this info!
Sorry im WRONG. Just got my wireless pro in mailbox, All who said that its worth upgrade is wrong!
I've got both Siberia 840 and wireless pro.
Siberia 840 has Live Mix with multiple input sources (like i described above) wireless pro DOESNT!
I ended up getting this and it does handle things as I would like it to. If set to the PS4 mode with the optical to the console and the USB to the PC you can listen to the console and listen/chat on the PC. You don't get chat mix, as the mix is between the PC and console, but this is exactly what I wanted, being able to hear both and chat on the PC.
Adam Smith Is the wired better than astro a40tr? Back in ps3 days i used astro a40 mayby gen1? And loved surround sound on them it was so good but headset broke 2 years ago and now been using just basic logitech headphones but want to go back on better headphones but i dont know is a40tr outdated these days? Both cost same ammount money. Hope you can help
Can the wireless work with gamedac
I play on ps4 pro. Which ones should i get. Arctic pro wireless or the. Artic pro. Wired whats the best and do they get lound enough please let me know thankyou
Both versions have full PS4 support, so it really comes down to which setup works best for you. The GameDAC provides the best possible audio quality, but the wireless is still very high fidelity.
What is the difference between the two besides the obvious that one is wireless
So is the Dac version better?. Little unsure now :)
I dont understand how they're hot swappable if you have to turn the headset back on after changing the battery.
Whoever said that obviously doesn't know what the word means. Nonetheless it takes 5 seconds to change the battery thnx to the magnetic covers so no biggie.
You minde sharing your EQ settings?
I'm so torn . . . it's expensive and so many people seem jaded by steelseries. Not sure what to do!
keggerous, maybe if you’re torn about the price you should also consider something like beyerdynamic dt990 and a modmic. Safe bet for better sound quality, mic quality and positional audio. And you would have money left over i guess. Just something to consider. i’m personally a sennheiser kind of guy. You can use equalizer apo to setup eq but yeah, that phone integration sure could be appealing.
Can I use the Steelseries Arctis 7 pro wired on my Xbox one ?
The audio is fantastic and is better then most sony or bose or beats.. they are super expensive but if you have the cash they are the best
Better than Astros too?
@@MrSr3nity_97 really better than astro :))
@@Fabb1 a50?
Guys if you plug it in the charge cable while using it, while it charge faster than it drains?
Should i get the wireless or wired for this?
Please before your talking bs.. both of the headset have hi res audio ! u can read it on steelseries website
Are these better than A40’s and are these good for call of duty
I can tell you I had my buddy right next to me using Astro a50s and he couldn't hear an enemy in the bushes stalking us and I did with my pro wireless
I would of expected hi res audio for both models especially for the additional price for the wireless!! Bit of a strange marketing decision imo!!
Both do, but you need the Dac to utilize it. The wireless ones need a special Dac to function so it automatically comes with it.
Liking the wireless battery swap
Any info on the software though? Im replacing void wireless as i hate the buggy software....
the software is optional, everything needed is already in the DAC.
Hello thanks for your vidéo,do you known if this arctis pro wireless is a good more value that m'y siberia 840 (i love it ) in therm of sound and DTS headphones is better that dolby digital of m'y siberia 840 ? Thanks
hey! do you need a good audio card to have those bad boys working on the full power?
No, since they connect via USB and have their own amp/dac built in!
