However, unlike on the GameDAC model, you will need to download and open SteelSeries Engine to activate DTS Headphone: X 2.0 and adjust its options, so make sure to do that if you want to use the virtual surround. The receiver has a monochrome OLED screen and a dial and button you can use to set up most of the headset’s functions without opening the software.

It also has optical out and an analog line out…though I’ll get to one of my complaints about that feature in a moment. And it sounds great, with no noticeable latency.

It’s small and packed with connection options, featuring USB, optical, and analog inputs. That’s not an insult to the included 2.4ghz wireless base station. Tuned in part by Indy Acoustic Research, they offer exceptional performance either wired or wirelessly, but you’ll have to wire them up to your own DAC/amp to get a full hi-res audio chain, unlike on the GameDAC model. But it also delivers a gargantuan features package.Īvailable in black or white, the Arctis Pro Wireless contains the same high- quality speaker drivers as the rest of the Arctis Pro lineup. Retailing for $330 normally, and often on sale, the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless is one of the most expensive gaming headsets ever sold.
