this guy is verified and replys to almost everyone. what a legend.
you all are the legends!!
@@TheTechne should I uprage from artics 5 to these?
@@vorcegoku3255 if you can afford it do it cause you get prolly the best sound u can get from any headset and they are so comfortable and they are pretty well built so yes probably the best wired headset
means your actually paying attention to your followers hehe
Do you all want a review of the Arctis 7's? Did the 3's, 5's & Pros already, links above.
Did you pretype and copy your first comment for any of your videos before? That way you could be the first commenter. 😉
@@Matty0311MMS no I did after I posted. I thought I did have it up 1st. did you beat me? lol
Can you do a comparison on this one and the Arctis 9x
@@corrygriffin7100 sheewwww the 9x are still a bit pricey.
Yes, Please! :)
why does he always look like he just got done telling a dad joke😂
are you saying my jokes are bad? :(
The Techne no no no your jokes are the best. Just like your videos :)
TheSunnyGamer his jokes are the best just like his videos mean his videos are good?
@@TheTechne pls can u help me to check my sound thing to see if its 40,000
It’s the hat
You've mastered this. One of the best at reviewing headsets by a mile. I might buy these
thank you so so much for the kind words!! you will love this headset! PS: hit that bell, i will have more info about the arctis pro's coming soon ;)
I was definitely wondering these or the 5s and there no other review really breaking it down. Thank you!
SO glad I was able to help out! Also check this one out. th-cam.com/video/C2_kraGEmA0/w-d-xo.html
I ended up ordering these, I had to look through several different videos to find a good review until I found this one.This gave me everything I needed, Thanks man!
so glad to hear I was able to help out.
How are they holding up. I’m asking for the plastic pieces.
I just found your channel and I really like your content your awesome
thank you so very much for the kind words! and no, you are the awesome one here! thanks again!
Ya same
@@TheTechne Does it work on PS5 ? Can you plug them on the PS5 controller ? On phone too?
After making my purchase based on this man's faulty intel, Great Spaghetti Monster 👹 has seen fit to grant me powerful abilities of sight. With that newfound vision, I can now clearly see all the lickspittle dribbling off this man's chin. Disgusting.
@@TheTechne I think you can buy the dark separately on the steel series up so whenever you want that thing you can buy it on there
Thanks for doing a review of this without the DAC. For those with high end sound cards or motherboards it's important to know how well this setup will work.
Man, your videos are awesome! Love the excitement and the very detailed reviews! Thank you so much! Hands down the best reviews!
thank you so much!
I bought these from your review alone. I'm a sucker for wireless headphones but these are worth having the wire around. A little cable management has me almost as comfortable as a wireless pair. You've earned my sub!
And you don’t have to charge them
damn, just bought this headset and i gotta say... This is some good detailed review you got. Thanks for your hard work!
Great review as always I’ve had mine for over two years now and I love them best headset I’ve ever had

thanks bro
Thanks a lot
Amazing review my friend ! Thank you so much
Thank you for watching!!
Informative and straight to the point.. great job!
just bought this today cuz of ur review. been watching this over and over again haha
Thank you very much, you are really help me, we are waiting for your next video, keep healthy and keep uploading
just uploaded ;) lol
Found this video while I was doing some research on what headphones to buy. I'm pretty set on Arctis but am going back and forth between the Pro and the 7. This video was very helpful! I'll be watching your 7 review next. You've earned this sub :)
The same man. I cant choose between them :x
Which ones did you end up buying ? I'm still on the fence between the 2.
@@peptoman2222 got the 7, I love them
Thanks man you basically set my arctis pro up for me with this video
I just bought myself a pair because of this video and I’m happy thank you for making videos like this 😌😌😁
This is quality content. May your subscribers steadily increasing.
thank you so much!
Thanks for your video.
TH-cam search "20hz to 20khz" nearly all humans can't hear below or above that frequency range.
Worth testing!
Hey I just wanted to thank you for the awesome review it really helped me out today I appreciate you 👍🏻
thansk you so much for your honest opinion about this headset. i was torn between getting the DAC version and this one, but what you said makes so much sense and i just ordered a pair! Now i just need some EQ settings for FPS games
Hey man just came here today to thank you. i bought myself this headset based on your review and it's truly amazing as everything you said is very accurate !
awesome! so glad I was able to help out! such a great headset!
this dude is hands down the best tech reviewer. i ordered these lol
I have a some questions
does it have the headphones jack or is it usb? (the port that connects to the pc/smartphone)
does it connect to the smartphone with headphones jack?
can you disable the built in microphone and use an external one?
can you rotate the headphones pavilions?
These are 100 dollars on Amazon refurbished. Should I get this or the arctis 7 wireless?
@@zRedPlays it has both usb and a headphone jack and it works with pretty much anything and you can use an external one i think and yes you can rotate them
@@ameer.maqbool these blow the arctic 7 wireless out of the roof when talking about pure sound quality
Wow, this channel is awesome you put out alot of great information. I'm picking these up now thankyou for the great content and you 100 perfect earned my subscription 👍👍👍
This must be the best review i saw n/a!
N/A?
"Not Available" "Not Applicable" "Not Announced"
It also comes with a quarter inch adapter and you unscrew the quarter inch adapter then after that you'll have a 2.5mm jack it also has an option for the ohm settings the options are the 250 ohms or the 80 ohm I would go for the 250 ohm version and basically what that means is that it powers the most drive in the headset sound
You make AMAZING reviews, one tip with headsets though is show and tell us the length of the wires coming out of the headset, because some of us(like myself) run our wires under the bottom of our desks to my pc or across the room to the console and we need extra room to stretch our wires
thank you so much! and thank you so much for the tip/.idea, I will keep that in mind for future vids
Just got my pair off eBay for $90 bucks 👌🏻 can’t wait to get them tomorrow!
I know this videos old but just got these thanks to you. good lookin out cant wait to get em !
AMAZING REVIEW..... thanks for making my mind up.. was trying to mkae up my mind about getting this or the Cloud Mix by HyperX
lol I bought HyperX alpha yesterday and now im going to swap :D
AMAZING Review! Lets get to 2k
Have a question for you.. I bought a pair of these SteelSeries Arctis Pro headset yesterday. How do I charge these these? I know I can plug the USb into my computer but how do you know if its charging and when they are fully charged? Absolutely nothing in the manual...
appreciate the review without the 80£ addon finally a gaming headset with actual good sound
So pleasant to watch your content man. Good luck! ❤️
thank you
Bought these at Best Buy. They are very nice. Sound awesome in games. 7 channels work pretty well in gaming too. Can hear footsteps as if they were coming from the right direction. Well worth my money.
Do you play on ps4? And did you get it with or without the dac?
@@ozzierobles2417 Play on PC only without the dac.
Love your content
Wish I could have this. Great video!
thank you! very nice headset, you gotta get one!
Great energy with the content! Love it! Gonna have the get the pros today. So first I configure it through my PC then simply connect it to my ps4 and it's all good?
thank you! and yeah that's it!
Awesome review! This review actually made me buy Arctis Pro version without Dac. Here's what was going on for me, i bought originally arctis 5 for pc. Just like u said, they sounds awesome on pc and feel good when wearing them etc etc but then i switched to PS4 for gaming purposes, sound was mixed bag even with usb connection on PS4 console. Footsteps where missing most of the time and sometimes i didnt even get my pinpoint at all which direction my danger was coming from. Then decided to try Arctis Pro and DAMN! even in game menu musics and actual gameplay highs are so clean and crisp and bass was way better comparing to arctis 5 on console. Generally my sound experience was boosted 30% and its was all worth it. I recommend this headset for PS4 gamers for sure, u wont regret it :)
right!! it's so hard to even explain, but it is a noticeable diff. I love them! and still use them!
@@TheTechne me too. Was money well spent 😁
@@markku8367 I will have some more vids about arctic pro's coming soon ;)
@@TheTechne looking forward to it 👍
how about music? Honest opinion.
You are lowkey my fav tech youtuber
thank you so much!
thank you my head is pretty small so most hats and headsets dont fit me ive tried it out and im amazed that it fits so well
I just found your channel. This must be one of the best reviews I’ve seen. Sub from me😀
thank you so much!!
Damn, out of my budget range
But good video as always
ahhh, what $ range are you trying to stay in? around under 100$? I think you will be very happy with the 5's then.
CLosing up on that 2,000 sub count , proud of you pops 😁
pops? lol
I just got the pros with the gamedac. I search for months for a good headset and then I give them a try and I was really happy with these. It is not a bass heavy headset BUT can be help a lot by the gamedac on that matter AND the notes are so clear that the bass is not that important anymore because you ears hear sounds that was not that clear before.
I actually purchased these yesterday at Best Buy but found "your" review today, and of course I purchased the Best Buy Coverage (roughly $170 total). The only bad thing about SteelSeries is their customer service is rather shoddy. Very good review. You even cover the SS Engine 3, which needs to be downloaded, which is essential to getting these to sound their best. I had some trouble actually accessing the menu you referenced, but once I figured it out I could have slapped myself. Basically, these have nearly the exact same features as the DAC, except with these you need the Engine to make adjustments and the DAC is self contained in a convenient box, and the DAC is "high res certified". All I know is they sound great, and you are 100% correct about the clarity and range of these. I think they are definitely worth $140, even though that is pushing it.
I have never had to contact SS CS, never had any issues. are you talking about the SS software? I show/talk about it in all my steelseries reviews. glad to hear you like the headset, currently my daily headset as well, I just love them!
Looking at getting these myself to replace my otherwise excellent hyper x cloud 1's, which i bought at my local bestbuy after trying on a display model (they are super duper comfy). An acquaintance of mine was telling me about them and the full suite of adjustment setting as well as sidetone, a much missed feature absent on all hyperx headsets along with seemingly the vast majority of $100+ gaming head sets and boggles me as to why, as my original $40 turtle beach x-12's had it (hyperx's official solution is to set my mic to "listen" which result in my voice playing through the headset on a delay and interrupting myself in the process),and while ive gotten somewhat used to either talking like im deaf or leaving an ear uncovered, along with muting game volume while chatting with friends lest they be rendered unintelligible over gunfire and game music, since they also do not mute game volume when someone speaks on chat like my x-12's, it just aint the same. Is a gamedac like an amp? As i am not a fan of them due to causing interference (buzzing perceptable at high volume and sometimes my mic as well so other players can hear it, which only gets worse over time), along with added complexity when it comes to switching between the headset and desktop speakers (aka having to unplug everything from my tower instead of just the headphone jack).
They are around 240 in Canada
RGB used in steel series headsets lloooookkk sooooooooo goooooodddd omggg
SteelSeries really does a great job with rgb across all their products.
I agree, they should have used full metal but honestly looking at how thin the head band is I'm willing to guess that will absorb most of the pressure and not the plastics link. I could be wrong but the gauge is so thin that any reasonable amount of force should cause the headband to stretch vs putting force on the link. On normal headsets the head band is very stiff and has little give which ultimately puts a log of pressure on it, that certainly is a load point and matters but with these I think the headband would most likely stretch before any significant load is placed on the link.
I love this guy
Hey, great video! do you think you could recommend some EQ settings for first person shooter games with this headset? I just got it and am playing Modern Warfare, but finding it really difficult to get the right settings! thanks!
Did you ever find good settings? I just got these today and the audio for cod is wack
You need Dolby atmos
Thanks for that - by the way if you use the USB connector then you get up to 40khz (hi res) too, as the USB sound driver is independent of your sound card - no need for that DAC at all.
duuuuude you just saved me like $130 thaaaaanks
@@mudslidesailor so true question can u use a usb extended cable i sit a fair distance away7 feet or so
Awesome video. Waiting for these in the mail right now thanks to your review. I really appreciate you reviewed the headset with out the DAC. Keep it up!
thank you! glad I was able to help out!!
How do you like them?
@@nickgarcia1292 one of the best gaming headsets I've used. I use them daily on both PC and PS4. Amazing sound, good mic. Headset was initially snug but after a few days it loosened up. Highly recommend. I bought used from Amazon warehouse.
@@purechileno I have the arctis 5's and really enjoy the crisp sound and nice features but wouldn't mind more bass.. idk probably not worth it if I already have the 5's?
@@nickgarcia1292 I actually had the 5s as well. While they are a good upgrade, it's not a huge difference. I find they can get louder than the 5s, and are built better. If you have the extra cash and find a deal do it. But, it wouldn't hurt to wait for a price decrease either
I bought this headset because of your super helpful video and it is absolutely insane. I fucking love it, Call of Duty sounds amazing, people are commenting how clearly they hear me, and heavy metal sounds incredible! Couldn't be happier. Thanks buddy.
so glad to hear I was able to help out!!
Jon B with or without the dac?
@@almutairi201without
Are those the eq settings you recommend for this headset?
Days earlier you had me convinced on buying the Arctis 5, and then you just had to upload this video.
lol, right! I said the same thing!
You are so helpful u don’t put the much hate on the things you reviewed as far as I seen
I have a few out there. But only if it's a truly bad product. th-cam.com/video/hkXT9SkQles/w-d-xo.html
Agreed
Good review...hope you get more subs :D
thank you so much!
I’m watching this with the arctis 3 Bluetooth on🙌🙌
Do I have to connect them directly to my ps4 or can I connect it to my controller
Got these today for $119 on Amazon! Thanks for the vid it helped me pull the trigger cause my mind was blown with the amount of headsets out there 🙌🏾
Are they wireless??
I bought the wired version. Also get the one with the DAC.
Stackio WRLD whats does DAC even mean or do
Your so amazing I’m getting this for x max thx thx so much 😁
How is the directional audio? Its very important to me, also footsteps.
He literally mentioned footsteps. He can hear someone walking behind him.
@@commenter7893 yeah I was having issues with footsteps though on pc and it turns out I had mono audio enabled for some reason.
would you still recommend these to this day? or are there better options? awesome videos by the way! (footsteps are important for me)
Did you notice a difference at all in the sound quality without the gamedec in your pc ? I can get a pair a lot cheaper without the dec so will get them if it's not needed . Great videos man . Keep it up
I'm definitely going to order these, and I WILL use the affiliate link!
Will this sound good for ps5 without the game dac?
hello I'm stuck between the two theses arctis 7 "2019 editon" or this wired arctis pro hi-res im using just PC
Haha me too! If you figure it out let me know. There is a 10 dollar difference between the 2
Anıl YILDIRIM same
To arctis 7 are sold out so just bought the wired pros
I've purchased and used both. The pro is a lot better. Audio is insane. Id take the wire any day.
@@todddominoes9862 so Steelseries arctics Pro Wired (150 bucks for me) are worth it? (I come from a cloud 2)
I'm reviewing my SteelSeries Artis Pro wireless while watching a review on Steelseries Artis Pro wired amazing. Mr. fluffers cannot be stoped.
I was in such a dilemma in wether buying this one or not. This review just convinced me. I just ordered one. Can't wait to try him out. :D
your going to love them
What’s ur opinion on them now
@@dragoon9382 They are really really great. I just wished the bass had a bit more “boom” to it if you get what I mean. But all in all the sound quality is amazing. To me personally Im looking around to get a more boom bass headset. Because its just my preference. But if that isnt really an issue for you, I’d definitely recommend them.
@@Axurias And what about the batter life and what not? Is it still holding up?
@@keiztratHey man. To be honest with you, I didn't go with the wireless one. I know I said this in my comment but at the very end I changed my decision. I ended up with the Arctis pro with the Game DAC. I wont buy from Steelseries again. I bought a mouse pad and it turned out to be really bad quality such as the headphones itself. They broke very fast. And I am someone who is very careful with gaming gear as I know it's all expensive. At one point I wanted to play a video game, tried to put the headphones on my head and it broke. Like the left cup broke and only a little cable was still attached. Now I have an EPOS H6PRO (closed back) and I must say this is one of the best headphones I ever had. It's not wireless but the quality of the sound, comfort and build quality is top notch. It's great for listening to music, watching movies and playing games all together. It might not be the best headphones for extreme competitive gaming but oh well. It does all other things just right.
how do you check what frequency my motherboard supports on windows 10?
Fist you go to windows settings, next you select the far right button, then quit amd shoot ur computer
hey man, first off, great video. Secondly, I got my pair of Arctis Pro today. Unfortunately mine is having issues. For starters, the volume in the right earcup is much louder than in the left earcup. I managed to take care of this through the balance settings that Windows offers. However, this decreases the overall volume by quite a lot. Secondly, whenever I'm using live mic preview in the SteelSeries Engine, the microphone produces a whole lot of feedback and echoes like crazy. So basically, the headset is not functioning properly. I was wondering if you've come across issues like these or heard of them and whether you know of any solutions etc. So far SteelSeries customer support doesn't seem very receptive to my support ticket. Any help is appreciated!
BorisTheBlade did you buy it with the DAC? Cause you don’t need it but controls your volume n everything
Tbh it’s better to buy them with the Game DAC
@@Abner-em6ov i got it without the dac. Steelseries replied with a supposed solution. Going to try it tomorrow. If it doesn't work i'll be sending them.back
I never had that issue. I would simply try deleting the headset from the steelseries engine, unplug headset, restart PC and reload it all. I also use mine without DAC, and never had this problem, and wow are they hands down amazing!! make sure your windows sound is also set at the high rez hz range
The Techne my friend has a pair of them and he let me try them and they were AMAZING should i buy one pair for myself? I mean do you think it’s worth it for 140$?
Thanku So Much You R the Best Humanbeing Ever
thank you for watching!!
I just bought these this year, thanks to your review. They are awesome. I use them on xbox and ps5. The only thing that sucks is the lights only work if they are plugged in on PC😢. I was very sad to discover that.
looks like i’m getting the pro’s 😂
your gonna love them!
If u did end up gettin them, I have a question. If I have the arctis the pro without dac, and u HAVE the DAC. Can I use yours? Or would I have to get my own?
Like can I connect it change the settings then disconnect and play with those settings
I can get these or the Arctis 7 for the same price, the choice is killing me!
SMKshaun get the 7 better, I got them and the pressure is splitting my head into half :)
@@idabeverymorningwheniwakeu8462 thanks dude! I actually did get the 7s and I really like them. The ski band is unlike anything I've had before with headphones, really comfy and even when I have glasses on it feels great
SMKshaun that’s really great to hear !! I hope you enjoy them, I’m glad that you listened to me ^^
ordered these after this vid
Trying to pick out a good headset is hard. I'd like a pair with great surround quality for single player gaming but also good for everyday use watching videos, listening to music, and doing phone meetings. Having both Bluetooth and 3.5 mm wired would be good too. I was looking at some Bose ones I liked, but they don't have surround and apparently also not very good bass from what I've been reading.
Mine are arriving today! 😁
How much did you get it for
Im excited for you!!! your going to love them!!
awesome videos man! You deserved my subscription and notifications!
thank you so much!!!
I just received my Arctis Pro headset and I have to admit I didn't really do my homework. I saw all the glowing reviews about the Arctis Pro's sound quality and they're not wrong!
Unfortunately I have a large head and after not researching more and purchasing these I'm not sure they're for me. I just can't seem to get them to sit comfortably on my big head. Besides loosening the headband I've read that I could "bend" the arch somewhat to help eleviate the pressure.
I'm going to continue playing while using them and see how it goes! Hopefully I can make it work because they really do have phenomenal audio.
Also thank you for such a detailed review.
ahhh man that stinks. they are a dream on my head. any luck when you stretched out the metal band/ I had to do that with a few of my other headsets as well (like hyperx)
@@TheTechne I've been working on them lol they just sound way too great to not commit to using them.
@@brentloy131 yeah my current daily headset was like that as well, and now they are hands down a dream!
now iam 99% getting one also how you make reviews so entertaining?
Hi man! Great review! It's been a year but I have a question about this Artcis Pro: it is possible to use them with an external audio card (ex. mine is a usb Asus Xonar U7)? I know they have a proprietary audio cable and another 3,5 jack cable for mobile devices with headphone/microphone splitter. My Xonar got both mic and headphone 3,5 jack inputs, can i use this headset in this way without having issues?
Thanks
I'm sold lol, copping these
how are they
I like the comfort of these though. I have not adjusted them once yet. I like the way they stay fit on my head. Some headsets are just horrible.
I subscribed on a year old video because you seem so nice
I have the Arctis Pro dac and I love it
BluMac. Would you recommend these over the Arctis 5 2019 edition?
I am looking for a PS4 headset which has dual volume control for voice and game, id like to be able to easily adjust both volumes. Do you have any suggestions on a headset? I know you say in this video you can adjust the game chat volume with that little knob thing but does that work on PS4, alot of headsets have that function like turtle beach stealth 600 but it doesn't work on PS4 apparently.
These or the turtle beach elite atlas aero? Thank you so much for the input, you earned my sub today sir
thank you for the support! I would go with these
Great review man...i have a question...i use a soundcard creative that goes to 32bit 192000 Hz,if buy this,will this work fine with the soundcard for the 40000 Hz?or will i have some sord of conflict here?will i have to turn off my sound card?Or should i buy the "dac" version???PLEASE HELP.
Late comment, but just ordered a pair and starting to freak out. I use the GoXLR for many reasons, and I currently use a the blackshark V2 Pros through the 3.5mm port. With the Arctis Pros, it comes with the 3.5mm adapter, so technically I should be fine with using this headset with the GoXLR, but am I going to lose audio quality when using the 3.5mm jack? I hope the audio drivers in the GoXLR allows me to still get the most out of it. Thank you!
Love your videos! Can’t decide whether to go for these Arctis pro or Arctis 7 (for the PS4). I like that the 7s are wireless but these seem to be better overall
you honestly can't go wrong with either.
I'm in the same boat, what did you end up going with
JACK CITY I went for the 7s mostly because of the price difference. Really impressed with them though, most comfortable headset I’ve ever owned
Amazingly detailed review! I currently own a HyperX Cloud Revolver S(loving them) and I'm looking for headphones that have better sound quality(hi-fi or hi-res audio) than what I currently own. I'd want to be able to use the headphone for both pc gaming and casual music listening on my phone. Should I consider the Steelseries Arctis Pro or do you have other headsets in mind that I should consider? Or is my HyperX perfect already? Thanks!
If you really want the best. Buy actual headsets, and connect a modmic to them.
I just bought this today at best buy. I had the corsair rgb wireless and they were horrible. They would always shut off on me. I do have a warranty for them so I will be taking those back to get another headset. I will use those as back up when these fail.
Great Review. Would you suggest the arctis 7(wireless) or this one?
Hey Techne, I ordered this headset and I realized so I need a actually microphone for it or do I only be able to hear out of it. Because I only use wireless and I finally switch to wired
Just bought this went from the Arctis 9x and the SteelSeries clouds
I got the Arctis 7+ wireless and I am not a fan of the crackling despite my PC being a foot away from me. I'm returning them and getting this because I prefer wired connection.
