The Arctis Pro was the pinnacle of SteelSeries' gaming headset lineup until the release of the Arctis Nova Pro. It offers exceptional features that set it apart from other gaming headsets, such as a dedicated standalone base station with a volume knob and OLED display, the ability to connect via both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz WiFi simultaneously, and the standout feature: the **hot-swappable battery system**. This innovative system allows for uninterrupted wireless use, with one battery in use and another charging in the base station.
The build quality of the Arctis Pro is top-notch, featuring a lightweight steel and aluminum alloy headband and a comfortable suspension headstrap perfect for long gaming sessions. The ear cushions are made of AirWeave performance fabric, similar to those on the newer Arctis Nova Pro. The ClearCast boom microphone can be retracted when not in use. The audio quality is superb, thanks to premium 40mm speaker drivers with high-density neodymium magnets that deliver high-resolution audio up to 40,000Hz.
SteelSeries Arctis Pro Review by Matt Elliot
"The SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless boasts premium build quality, a comfortable design, and outstanding sound. Plus, the clever battery-swapping design means you’ll never be without power. As good as its sound is, however, I give the performance edge to the Arctis Pro + GameDAC. Sure, it’s wired, but it’s still very comfortable and versatile and $70 cheaper. Or you can save a bundle and opt for the wireless Arctis 7 for less than half the price."
The Arctis Pro was succeeded by the Arctis Nova Pro in 2022. The best current price for a new pair of Nova Pros is $270 on Amazon. While the Nova Pro is an excellent headset with significant upgrades like active noise cancellation and USB Type-C charging, it's not worth nearly double the cost of the Arctis Pro.
