The Arctis Pro is sturdy and robust largely thanks to its steel headband. In terms of construction, the quality is there in spades. Now, that’s certainly a high price, but it’s not outrageous if the quality is there a good set of cans can be a worthwhile investment. The Arctis Pro is offered in three varieties: a standard wired one for £180, a wireless one that costs £300, and this £250 wired unit that comes with a dedicated external DAC designed to maximise audio fidelity. (Or just stick to single-player games and never worry about interacting with other humans.) For gamers who are discerning when it comes to audio, the lack of real quality on the market might be disheartening, but it’s this customer base SteelSeries is looking to target with its Arctis Pro headsets. However, time and time again they are bettered in audio quality by dedicated headphones, which you can easily pair with a desk microphone or a ModMic. Gaming headsets offer a convenient combination of speakers and a microphone, often in a rather inexpensive package.
