Yes, this works, but its kind of odd and difficult to explain without people having never tried them. I use these on PC and when I switch to my phone, it brings the game audio WAY down while my phone is putting out audio, then it shoots the game audio way back up when it ends. I'm not sure if it's different on console or if there's a setting I'm missing, but its a little goofy when I've tried it

@@Hoserzzz if you press down on the volume wheel on the headset it toggles between menus. There's a mixer bar that you can adjust thats one volume click over from the master volume adjuster. It should show a line with a controller on one side and another icon on the other. I totally forget what the other icon is but it adjusts the volume mixer between game volume and phone volume. The game volume being on the right and phone on the left.

I got mine a year ago and it is easily THE best headset I have ever used I highly recommend it to anyone! FYI the other headsets iv used in the past were -turtle beach px24 (didn’t even last a week the build quality was terrible) -PlayStation gold (very good headset for the casual PS4 player, you can also go a bit further and get the platinum if you feel like it. There’s not significant difference between the two) -Razer Kraken Pro V1 ( decent sound and mic but very uncomfortable) -Razer Kraken Pro V2 ( I would recommend these if you prefer using wired headsets as they were very good in sound and mic and also quite comfy, only problem was the thing that goes around the top of your head would get uncomfortable sometimes)

I’ve had my Astro A40 TR’S for close to 4 years and they’ve been great. However that doesn’t mean they don’t have their problems. Not even 2 days into me having them the mechanism that locks the mic into place broke on both sides meaning my mic would never stay in place. My solution was to tape the mic into place as I was 14 when I got them and didn’t exactly have the money to get a new one. I’m 18 now and I’ve since gotten the X Edition headset and replaced the old one but I’m still using the same Mixamp Pro from 4 years ago. As far as the mixamp goes, it still works like new but that doesn’t mean there aren’t things that annoy me about the headset. Possibly the biggest problem I have with the headset is that even when my mic is muted, some sound still gets through and I can still be heard when muted although it’s very muffled compared to unmuted. This is a problem that I’ve had since I got them 4 years ago. The other thing I notice too is that if I have music or a video playing my friends can hear it almost as if I’m streaming it to them. Finally my last problem is the quality of the microphone, you’d think paying the premium price of $250 for both mixamp and headset would give you a decent sounding mic but it doesn’t. My friends with either Razer Krakens or any headset around that price range have better sounding mics and it’s quite embarking considering the Astro’s are 3-4 times the price. As far as the muffled sound quality that you spoke of in the video, I personally don’t notice it but that is most likely due to the fact that this is the only headset I’ve used for 4 years. This video has definitely made me consider switching to the Arctis Pros just the only bad part is that $300+ price tag.

Hello! I'm actually planning on buying this for work, if you don't mind me asking, how was its performance in the long run?

Bought mine before seeing this video. Had the Wired pros for a while, but they broke. Went back to my tried and true A40s. Would have stayed with those until they broke, but wired just became unbearable. Loved the Pros, wanted wireless, and extra battery looked enticing. The price seemed steep, and completely agree with your assessment. If you can scrape up the funds for these you won't regret it. Sound is great, batteries (even though swappable) last long, and current battery/ charging battery level is nice to know.

Thought the Steelseries mic picked up too much background or ambient. Is there any ability to gate the mic in order to minimise the ambient background? Interesting review and thanks from Australia

It actually works on the Xbox One (quite well too I might add). The Xbox also allows you to download the Dolby or DTS apps to increase the sound quality further. So this, in my opinion, is why the Steelseries arctis pro wireless is the best headset: it's literally compatible with everything (consoles, pc and Bluetooth devices). That's why I think the price is justified. You'd just need the one headset and it will work with all of your devices. Most other gaming headsets (especially wireless ones) won't do that.

I got my pro wireless about 2 months ago after I had bought the turtle beach 600 gen 2s and thought they were great. My buddy said they were trash. So I bought the steel series arctis 7s which were a great improvement but wasn't satisfied so I sold those and bought a pair of Astro A50s and I had some trouble with the connection so those are sitting ins drawer. Then I bought corsair HS80s and they were by far the best headset so far. But then I had the opportunity to buy the pro wireless for 60 bucks brand new and couldn't pass up the deal. From a place that buys Amazon returns on pallets that's why they were cheap but they were brand new. Since then I don't think I can ever go back to anything else they sound amazing there comfortable and the extra batteries.... But they are the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. I'm lucky I guess but now I have 5 headsets floating around my house that are never going to be used 😐

With the Pro Wireless connected to the DAC, can you still use the control volume on the headset or you have to go to the control volume on the DAC?

Can you review your SG guitar or talk about some of the musically instruments? Many of us guitar blues/rock players would like it, I think.

I think you're confusing frequency response and sampling rate. In digital audio the 24 bit 96kHz means you have 24 bit depth samples 96,000 times a second. The frequency response 10-40kHz means at the end, after going through the whole system, it can recreate sounds in those frequencies. In fact, in order to create a sound at a given frequency you need 2 samples. This is the Shannon sampling theorem. So 24 bit audio samples 48kHz can recreate up to 24kHz signals.

Had these for a while they broke stopes connecting to my ps4 wouldn't show up as a device and I claimed under warranty and the send my a new pair withing a week. Which was good had to snap my ones that wher not working properly though and the sent a brand new fully sealed one out. In terms of sound they are really good and you never run out of battery. Like 10 seconds to change it over. Also the volume rocker is a button you can cycle through the menus on the base station by pressing in! No one really mentions this in any review!

U got 4 batteries now tho lol

Will they work with the PS5? I also heard that the 7.1 surround sound doesn't work on PS4. Is that true? I want to invest into a long term headset. Update: I ended up ordering them and surround sound works with the optical Cable. I don't have any real complaints. They hiss but during gameplay you can't hear it. After making some adjustments you can barely hear the hiss at all. The bass isn't the best in my opinion but that's just me.

Same, I’ve been choosing and reading for a week now. There always seems to be some kind of a trade-off. I don’t personally understand why there’d be the hiss everyone mentions when the price tag is $300 but what do I know. That being said, I love them but am very hesitant about getting em. Did you find out whether they’ll work on PS5?

You think the SteelSeries Arctis Wireless Pro better than HyperX Cloud Orbit S?

@NyteStalker89

4 жыл бұрын

Considering the Orbit S isn't wireless at around the same cost, I'd take AWP. Pretty decent sound and lovely dual wireless ability with the bluetooth built in. The biggest advantage the Orbit S has is that its a rebranded Audeze headset which sounds superior with its Planar Magnetic drivers. Build quality is kinda the same. Orbit feels more solid. Honestly, if you'd opt for a wired headset, save a ton of money and get something like a first gen Vmoda Crossfade wireless with their Boom pro mic making it wired and a DAC/AMP like the shiit Hel. Headset + Mic + dac = roughly the same cost and sounds ten times better in everything. Stereo is better than surround sound for gaming. hands down. Don't waste money on 5.1 or 7.1 headsets. Its software gimmicks that actually destroy audio quality.

Okay so I’ve been sitting on this for a while but I think you just made my decision easy! Thank bud awesome video! I mean you’ve had them for over a year now so I definitely trust your judgement!

I just bought one and looking forward to its arrival so I can test it out. Thanks for the video!

I have P800, basically the older version of this, with rounded earcups and no bluetooth. Has been serving me basically flawlessly since I got it. They cost me 300 euros back in the day and it was worth every cent! If I ever need new ones, the Pro Wireless is my choice.

Hi buddies, I'm having a lot of troubles choosing between hyperx cloudx and cloud revolver s, I heard about the awesome sound of revolver s but I don't know if it has better or equal performance in stereo mode on xbox than the cloudx, 70% of the time I play on xbox so that's why I can't decide because I also play on PC and I would love to play with those revolver s but without having less performance on xbox than the cloudx. Pleaseee heeeelp!!!

I was hesitent to order the arctis pro wireless for $200 because of how its not high res (16 bit, 48 khz). But now that you siad I wwould hardly notice the difference - I just ordered the headset. I have the nova 7s and they heurt my ears because the cups are too small. I 'm hoping these headphones will be be more comfortable for me. Thanks!

I truly "enjoyed" the SS Arctis Pro Wireless for a 4 months period. I would highly recommend anyone considering buying the headset, do a Reddit search on the faulty transmitter and start reading horror stories :-) The customer service is very poor at SS and I wish I had done the Reddit research prior to spending 350 EUR bucks on a "premium" headset. False hopes of a 1-year warranty - can't stop making a comparison to Xbox famous "Red Ring of Death" - if you were one of the "lucky" ones you were literally screwed.

I changed just yeaterday from Siberia 800 to Arctis Pro wireless, and you are right. This is the best sounding headset i have tried. And the sound quality can be even better with optik conection and Creative sound blaster card. I have tried EQ from steel series alone, but together with Sound blaster app and its EQ ist the sound amazing.

Been using it for a year. The mic is not bad at all and after some tweaking with the PEACE software I got it to be even better. Other than that, I'm really really in love with them. The -only- thing I would change is to have the mic either fully removable or completely tucked in when I don't use it. I'm not a fan of the little tip of the mic sticking out when it's not in use.

Yes, they are the best headphones for gaming. Full stop.

No noise cancelling though. That's essential for me. Was about to get these until I found that out. :(

Sorry I'm late to the party! I have switched from shooting guns to gaming and I want what I want in a headset. I'm sitting here with a Tuttlebeach (TB) Gen 1 600, a TBG1 700, 2x TBG2700s, and astro A50 and an SS wireless pro... im thinkning of doing a review on the pros and cons and connections of them all...

I have had mine for around 1.5 years and I must say also because I can see I am not the only one with this problem. be very carefull with the left cup, it tends to break around where it is connected to the headband bar something. I have in no way shape or form been rough with my headset and it just broke after some time, never even dropped it.

No human can hear sound at 40kHz let alone 96kHz, are you mixing up the bit rate and the sound frequencies?

Feature set is excellent. The headphones are great until they break. A speaker driver died just out of warranty. I ordered a replacement on AliExpress and had to dremel out the old driver and hotglue in the new one. Another issue is the quality of the ear cups. There are mutliple reports online of the speaker cup cracking where the headband joins. A mate had this happen after a year (he got refunded). The headphone features are are excellent, build quality is only just ok and repairability is awful.

I have a sennheiser 6XX would you say the sound quality is better with these?

I feel this is one of those pieces of tech that will be talked for years of how good it is. I have had mine for a year now and I wouldn't change anything about it

I'm running my ps4, xbox 1, and switch to the tv. Then I use optical to my 5.1. My question is can I use the base station as an optical pass through, effectively making it wireless for all 3 systems? For wireless so far I use bluetooth on the tv to connect to sennheiser hd450s. It works but I'm looking for the best setup for all 3, an all in one solution. If not, any recommendations for an all-rounder?

Artics Pro - The headset is designed to have the headphone cups twist to face upward when resting on the user’s neck. The hinge is not designed to sustain the forces subjected to the headset with the act of removal i.e. the cups have not been designed to flex or extend past the diameter of the users neck when facing up, only when adjacent to the band. Despite this being an advertised feature of the headset, this is not functional and caused a physical fault due to lack of support in the structural design of the cup. The fault caused the hinge to assert a force against the shell of the cup causing the plastic to shatter and crack causing jagged edge to the cup with an exposed circlip presenting a risk. Steel series Is yet to fix this problem 05/2021

Buying these. I have the arctis 7 wired. Problem is the wire itself wrapping around my (extremely long metal head) hair and pulling it out in strands. Just can't do it anymore. I just hope I feel a difference in upgrading from 7 to pro. The sound quality is not the best but not the worst on the 7. It does games and work very well. But when you listen to music on the phone with it then you can see its flaws. It's so far been the most comfortable, best, "gaming" headset I've owned besides the sound quality for the phone. Espically after the (worst I've owned) headset I got from a friend for my PC right after I built it. It felt like I was wearing a "saw" torture device on my ears and the mic would stop working. I Hope that by laying an extra 120 bucks on the pro wireless model instead of the 9 wireless I'll see a world of difference between 7 wired and pro wireless.
