TL;DR:
From the moment I open its box to plugging in and using it, I love the feel and overall utility of this headset.
It is as simple and plugging and playing with minimal adjustments needed. (experiences may vary per computer)
I can wear this comfortably, securely, and without any wiggle for extended hours(3~4hr and more) all the while the mic is amazing. (that Mic RGB... IS GREAT, and able to show even with the windscreen sponge on)
This is definitely my go-to for all my current FPS gaming audio input and output needs.
Disclaimer:
Everybody's ear and head shapes & capabilities are different, these facts presented are true for myself.
This headset was tested ONLY for 2 weeks since Early April, average 3~6hrs per daily use, at the time of this review.
History:
I own Razer's Nari Ultimate, VModa Crossfade, and Rummus K3-RGB. And during the 5 months of ownership I thought Nari Ult. was the best even though its design and other features aside the "Haptic Feedback" were mediocre. That is until I pulled the trigger for the bundle. I also dabble in audio production/engineering for about 5+ years total.
(Straight to)The Dark Meat of My Review:
-It is a lightweight headset that is snug and comfortable for long hours. (5hr+ without much sweating)
-The single adjustable strap/headband is nice, this accounts for the grip/snugness of your headset.
-Being wired, the 3 zone RGB effects can be left on and appreciated. Especially the (3rd Zone) mic RGB. haha
-The large physical crossfader knob is highly appreciated. (great for mixer or physical volume adjust purposes)
-The SteelEngine Software is praise-worthy for its centralization in customization, and very easy to use & adjust.
-The ear cups/fabric & cushion material is very soft, light, breathable, and able to provide good acoustic isolation.
-The headset cables is long enough and also very light (I don't feel the cable drag)
-You don't need it, but the windscreen that comes with is also appreciated.
-Compared to Nari Ult. the out-of-box experience is EZ and without much learning curve.
With Some CONsiderations:
-The left ear cup buttons/adjustments are a crime by design like any other headset. But it's better and well defined when compared to Nari. Ult. or VModa Crossfade. (ie. mute button is large and toggle-able)
-The retractable mic at first is curled up (when pulled out for the first time) due to its method of storage, but can be straightened out, over some time.
-The cables connections are proprietary (not your usual micro-USB or 3.5mm cable) and replacement accessories should be OEM, but I believe generic replacements can be used. (that said, it does have a 3.5mm conversion cable)
-Sound quality is 2nd compared to Razer Nari Ultimate, something is off about its surround sound. (again when compared the Nari Ult.) I cannot accurately pinpoint enemy footsteps especially when within approx. 5m proximity. (with all EQ settings on both headsets being default and flat)
-COD: MW/Warzone (2019) sounded better overall when I use the "Studio Reference" or the flattest EQ setting.
For some reason, any other EQ Boosts (in COD:MW audio setting) sounded lacking in its boosts in EQ. (I likely need further tinkering) When compared to Nari Ult. it sounded best w/Boost Low & w/haptic turned on.
Bottom Line:
I can say this is the BEST (not perfect) headset I owned, even with its flaws mentioned.
Nari Ultimate has its Haptic feedback, but Arctis Pro has its comfort, ease of use & adjustment.
Bonus Facts:
-I bought this because I was tired of getting sweaty and constant tinkering with the Nari Ult.
-My research suggested that I do not need the GAME DAC attachment. (save yourself $50+)
-I would recommend getting a "MoKo Headphone Stand" ($12) or a case to stash your investment.
First off, the frame is a dark aluminum, not plastic as the other Arctis series. The ski-goggle style headband is interesting, but if you want to get a custom band off their website, that'll be nearly another $30. For some color. On the other hand though, this style is very comfortable. It fits my head nicely, and has some room for adjustment but not much. I wear these without the band at all, and it's still quite comfortable.
The sound quality is great, it has lots of customization options such as EQ presets, and even sliders to customize to your own preferences. It is noise cancelling, which means you'll have a hard time hearing someone call your name if these are on even at 25% volume. But it adds a LOT to the immersion. Noise canceling also means you'll have that echo-ey sound kind of like you're hearing yourself talk.. You get used to it though.
The dark aluminum frame is nice to the touch, and feels very sturdy. The dark accent with the black band and the RGB ear cups are really nice. Like, nice to the point you could wear them out in public and not feel awkward.
The RGB is completely customizable with the color picker, but not many effects besides the typical breathing and wave. The magnetic ear caps are interesting and nice, but again if you want to buy some custom ones for another $30 or more, the choice is there.
The one thing that annoys me is the proprietary cable that SteelSeries has come up with for the headset. Basically, to use this headset with my phone, I need the special cable to plug into my headset, then take the dongle and attach that to the end to turn it into a 3.5mm jack. If you have an iPhone X or newer, plan on adding that 3.5mm to lightning dongle, and you got a really long, 3 piece headset cable. Nice.
Ah yes, I almost forgot. The Mic is great as well, but very sensitive. The pop filter that comes with the headset is nice, but doesn't help much. Plus, you'll have to take it off everytime you push the Mic into the headset. Eh. I don't use it. Everyone in my discord says I sound great, and I'm happy with my purchase of this headset for sub $200.
Top reviews from other countries
PROS:
+ Looks sleek and stylish; LED around the earset changes colour and is very visually appealing
+ Retractable microphone
+ Sounds is crisp and clear. My partner used a sound-testing website to see how well the headphones worked and was blown away by the sound quality. He offered me to try the headset and experience the test---safe to say, I completely agree with him; the sound was so "real," I had to double-check it wasn't coming from the room I was in.
+ Sound isolation
+ Snug and comfortable fit
CONS?
- I suppose the only con with this headset as opposed to his previous Diablo III headset is that my partner can't really keep one earpiece off as easily (which he would do while he was gaming so I could talk to him; he would have the headset a little bit skewwed with the earpiece resting on a different part of his head). This headset is less "flexible" in that regard. My partner can still keep one headphone off, but it is less easy to do than with his previous headset. Guess it's good for him, as he can't hear me complaining about his tardiness with cleaning the dishes...
When they arrived, I opened them and plugged them in. I was a little worried cause out of the box, the audio sounded a little hollow and raspy, but I made sure to install the software intended for the headset, tweaked a couple of settings, and it sounds great. It’s noticeably lighter than the Nari, and I love the degree of customization.
You can change the colours and patterns of the lights on the earmuffs, and I also found out you can change the colour of both of the toggles for the mute. So when my headset is muted, the light on the mic fades through some colours, and it turns off when I unmute. However, it’s hard to see this through the foam mic cover.
Overall I’m super happy with the headset and am super happy to have an upgrade over the Nari I bought a year ago
