Der Kopfhรถrer sitzt gut am Kopf; auch nach lรคngerem tragen keine Druckstellen
Sound ist super, Headset ohne Gerรคusche
Fernando Galindo Herrera –
Me ha costado mucho decidirme por unos auriculares gamer y realmente llevaba meses en mi lista.
1-. Sonido: Honestamente de muchos reviews donde atacan mucho este apartado, tenia mis dudas. Personalmente a mi me gusto, no me considero audio-filo ni entusiasta, por lo que no me irรญa a ese segmente del mercado, pero comparado con el sonido de unos Sony wh-1000xm4, la verdad es que me dejo sorprendido pues estos Arctis tienen un sonido muy claro y no se distorsiona a volumen alto. Obviamente no vas a encontrar las mismas caracterรญsticas por ser mas orientado a mejorar el apartado en videojuegos y no en mรบsica, pero dirรญa que no decepcionan. Con respecto a muchos comentarios de un pitido, en mi caso me paso al principio, con una actualizaciรณn con su software se soluciono, no se si sea algo especifico pero ya no tuve problemas.
Para videojuegos, te da oportunidad de configurar casi todo, obviamente otras marcas ofrecen eso, para los que preguntan si se escuchan los pasos de otros jugadores, si, tambiรฉn se puede XD. El ecualizador que se puede configurar desde el DAC o desde los botones del auricular, el sonido de voz se puede separar del audio de los videojuegos.
Tienes chance de conectar el audio de voz mediante otras aplicaciones e incluso utilizarlo en un smarthphone con el Bluetooth mientras que el audio principal desde la PC o PS4 (donde este el DAC conectado).
2-. Diseรฑo y material: Me gustan las cosas gamer, pero honestamente nunca me he decantado por las luces y cosas monstruosas, es lo que mas me gusto, tienen un diseรฑo algo sobrio y estรฉtico, bien podrรญas salir a la calle con ellos y nadie notaria que son unos audรญfonos gamer. En cuanto al acabado, honestamente son los primeros auriculares que me parecen de buena construcciรณn, quiero aventarlos al suelo pero se que no debo… La diadema me parece que es metal como anodizado, pero no podrรญa asegurarlo O_O, si es plรกstico, debo decir que uno muy duro… Todo el demรกs cuerpo es de plรกstico muy bien construido
3. Conexiรณn: Es curioso, pero al principio me causo conflicto que necesitaras el DAC para poder realizar una buena conexiรณn, estaba muy acostumbrado a bluetooth y ya… Sin embargo tienes diferentes formas de conectarlos. Puedes usar el DAC (Que obviamente de da todas las caracterรญsticas del sonido), conectarlos directamente con el cable que viene incluido a una entrada Jack o directamente a bluetooth, aunque este ultimo no lo detecto mi PC, pero en un Celular no tuve problemas. Con el DAC, ciertamente es una muy buena conexiรณn, puedes alejarte muchos metros a travรฉs de paredes y no perder la conexiรณn (Los Sony tienen bluetooth 5.0 y bueno, siempre tengo problemas de sonido).
4-. Comodidad: Dirรญa que se sienten algo pesados al principio y algo “justos”, principalmente porque no es como muchos audรญfonos que se desliza la diadema para acomodarlos, tienen una banda que te ayuda a ajustarlos sin tener que estar moviรฉndola. Despuรฉs de algunas horas de uso en varios dias no noto que me canse o moleste realmente. Las almohadillas tienen como un acabado de tela un poco rugosa, por lo que te ayuda a no almacenar mucho el calor
5-. Autonomรญa: Tiene dos baterรญas de Litio que duran una buena jornada de trabajo o videojuegos, creo que es uno de sus puntos fuertes, pues a la larga si te llegan a fallar seria simplemente reemplazarlas.
6-. Precio: Bueno, no todo puede ser miel sobre hojuelas, si son unos auriculares caros y, principalmente ahora que pareciera que el stock es algo escaso. Me han gustado y dirรญa que el precio lo vale, en mi caso vendido por amazon es donde he encontrado ofertas.
Y bueno, dependerรก de que busques, finalmente en este tipo de artรญculos es mas una inversiรณn personal que una necesidad, pero sin duda por algo es de los mejores del mercado en cuanto apartado gaming. No va a estar exentos de detalles que a muchos no les puede gustar, pero dirรญa que eso ya seria mas cuestiรณn personal
Andrea Rulle –
Bought as a gift for my better half to use for gaming, he pretty much has not taken them off his head so I assume it’s a thumbs up. I am now redundant
They look nice and he hasn’t had anything negative to say about them for the last 3 months he’s been using them.

Il mondo delle cuffie gaming รจ un oceano sconfinato, dove รจ facile perdersi ed annegare. Lโobiettivo di questa mia recensione รจ dapprima andare a fornire una serie di razionali per una scelta consapevole, (pensate a questa review come ad una sorta di faro) ed in un secondo momento spiegare in maniera accurata (per quanto mi sia possibile) le caratteristiche dellโoggetto di tale recensione e perchรฉ per me rappresenta il miglior prodotto della categoria, per quellโutenza che non accetta compromessi quando il โgioco si fa duroโ, e ovviamente non si lascia intimorire dal prezzo a cui viene venduto.
Su Amazon per le cuffie gaming, come dicevo, vi รจ un mondo cosรฌ sconfinato di scelte che quasi scoraggia lโacquirente. Prima di andare a parlare nello specifico del prodotto oggetto della review vorrei dare un focus su quali sono a mio modesto parere (visto che essendo gamer e divoratore di playlist musicali, di cuffie ne ho consumate un bel pรฒ) le qualitร principali che un buon headset dovrebbe avere.
1. Ergonomia, si esatto, la comoditร prima della qualitร audio. Questo parametro, espresso in maniera generica, si basa sulla mescolazione di diversi fattori quali: materiali utilizzati per padiglione, e capacitร traspirante, tecnologia di realizzazione dellโarchetto, e relativi materiali, mobilitร dei padiglioni nello spazio, ed infine il peso. Quando questi parametri sono propriamente calibrati, non andrete mai in sofferenza dovuta allโutilizzo prolungato.
2. Qualitร audio, ovviamente subito dopo la comoditร ma dello stesso livello di importanza ci sta tutto il discorso puramente tecnico, che non starรฒ qui a farvi, ma vi basta sapere che ogni cuffia รจ diversa dallโaltra e difficilmente ha senso paragonarle proprio perchรฉ il piรน delle volte si paragonano tecnologie completamente differenti. Quello che serve dire, รจ capire bene quale sia lโutilizzo principale per cui state cercando le cuffie. Ovviamente questo parametro, piรน del primo viaggia con lโaumento di prezzo.
3. Utilizzo misto. Io credo che quando parliamo (soprattutto) di articoli di un certo calibro, appartenenti anche ad una certa fascia di prezzo รจ cosa giusta e buona, essere esigenti per quanto riguarda lโutilizzo al di fuori di quello primario per cui sono state progettate. Parlando di cuffie gaming nello specifico, รจ ovvio che vorremmo godercele nellโutilizzo misto quale: riproduzione di musica (magari da CD), utilizzo per call conference, per vedere un film, o anche ascoltare la musica in viaggio o per strada.
IL PRODOTTO๐ฆ: SteelSeries azienda dalle amletiche origini presenta delle cuffie wireless gaming pensate per eccellere nel gaming e non solo. Le cuffie sono costituite da un archetto in lega di alluminio ed acciaio super leggero, i padiglioni invece in memory foam ricoperti da tessuto airweave per consentire unโelevata traspirabilitร . Il micorfono รจ con cancellazione del rumore ed ha la certificazione DISCORD. Il punto nevralgico ovviamente sono gli speaker, realizzati con dei magneti in neodimio che gli conferiscono un range ad alta risoluzione che va dai 10 Hz ai 40 kHz. Oltre alle cuffie nella confezione troviamo la basetta trasmittente per ricaricare le batterie e poter regolare la sorgente, il volume, o impostare lโequalizzatore a 5 bande secondo le nostre piรน disparate esigenze (sono presenti ovviamente anche dei preset); sempre nella confezione sono presenti: un cavo audio USB, un Toslink, ed un cavo audio per cellulare a dimostrazione di quanto queste cuffie siano multimediali, infine sono presenti anche le due batterie.
PARERI๐ค & CONCLUSIONI๐: facendo riferimento a quanto detto allโinizio di questa recensione queste cuffie hanno unโelevata comoditร , lโarchetto in lega di alluminio super leggera รจ fisso quello che invece si andrร adattare alla forma della nostra testa รจ la fascia di tessuto regolabile posta proprio nellโarchetto. Il peso delle cuffie รจ veramente basso (non arriva a 400 grammi) ed infine i padiglioni sono mobili in tutte e 3 le direzioni. Passando dal primo al secondo punto della mia premessa, ovvero la qualitร audio potremmo veramente stare qui a parlare per ore. Dotate di audio surround 7.1, tecnologia DTS:X v.2.0 (esattamente lโantagonista di Dolby Atmos) i due speaker che riescono a riprodurre in maniera cristallina tutti i suoni, veramente sono un piacere per le orecchie. Voglio perรฒ consigliare anche a chi ha trovato piatto e non sufficientemente profondo il suono di โsmanettareโ in maniera cosciente con lโequalizzatore a 5 bande, perchรฉ se settato come si deve, riesce veramente a tirare fuori tutto il potenziale di queste cuffie (nel caso vi dovesse risultare unโoperazione troppo complessa lโapplicazione disponibile per PC vi verrร molto in aiuto, ed anche la rete รจ piena di suggerimenti in merito). Le cuffie sono dotate di tecnologia bluetooth e grazie alla tecnologia Dual wireless System possono essere sintonizzate in contemporanea con il nostro smartphone e la nostra piattaforma di gioco preferita (PC o PlayStation che sia). Questa funzionalitร la trovo estremamente utile, perchรฉ cosรฌ anche quando sono immerso nellโhardcore gaming, se mi arriva una telefonata posso sentirla, oppure se arriva una notifica in quel preciso istante lโaudio del mio pc continua ad essere riprodotto e non va su muto (cosa che accade ad esempio con la tecnologia dual channel del bluetooth di quinta generazione) e quindi non cโรจ pericolo che possa perdermi qualche battuta durante i filmati ad esempio, o peggio essere costretto a staccare il cell quando le notifiche di messaggi o di app arrivano numerose. Altra funzione particolare e molto apprezzata รจ quella della doppia batteria che si ricarica proprio nel trasmettitore, quando utilizzo una lโaltra si ricarica, in pratica la durata delle cuffie รจ infinita. Per funzionare le cuffie non necessitano del trasmettitore, e quindi possono essere utilizzate anche fuori casa grazie alla connessione bluetooth, e i tasti di accensione e di abbinamento del bluetooth permettono di effettuare alcune operazioni senza utilizzare il cellulare come ad esempio skippare i brani o rispondere ad una telefonata.
Eโ difficile parlare di un prodotto cosรฌ complesso e cosรฌ completo senza dilungarsi, e per restare in un range apprezzabile ho dovuto accenare soltanto ad alcuni aspetti o non menzionarne altri di grande rilievo(come la riproduzione wired offerta da queste cuffie) ma nonostante ciรฒ spero di avervi in qualche modo fornito degli spunti validi per la vostra valutazione. Come si evince da quello che ho scritto, queste cuffie hanno tante funzioni innovative, una grande qualitร costruttiva, e pur essendo pensate per il gaming si fanno apprezzare in tutti gli utilizzi (personalmente le ho utilizzate anche per lavorare in smart working, perchรฉ il microfono con cancellazione di rumore ed il Sidestone regolabile sono ottimi per questo utilizzo). Sul sito ufficiale sono inoltre disponibili degli accessori di ricambio per tutte le parti soggette a usura.
SteelSeries con questo prodotto ha raggiunto dei livelli altissimi, che difficilmente negli anni a venire saranno raggiunti dalla concorrenza, quindi a tutti gli appassionati del settore che cercano il meglio del meglio dico semplicemente: non perdete altro tempo!

Rhynocerous –
This headset really is incredible. I was waffling between the Arctis 7 and Arctis Pro, but I finally decided to spend the extra moolah and get this headset. I haven’t tried the Arctis Pro and they supposedly are slightly higher quality when it comes to audio fidelity, but I wanted wireless so I could move around. The Arctis Pro also has a flimsy cable that is proprietary from what I understand as well.
I originally wanted them for gaming to replace my old Soundblaster Recon 360 headset which was only holding a charge for about 2 hours or so. Since I’ve been working from home during the Covid-19 pandemic, they’ve been invaluable for my videoconferencing as well. The mic is good quality and I love all the settings you can change on the headset without even having to touch the DAC/wireless transmitter. The noise cancelling could be better on the mic, but I don’t expect it to cancel out the sounds of my kids playing in the basement only six feet away from me.
One of the best features of this headset is that it has a battery that can be swapped. It charges inside the DAC and charges quickly. It only takes about 15 seconds to swap out the battery and then you can keep going while the other battery charges. No longer do I have to plug in my headset while it’s dying and this is invaluable.
Music doesn’t sound nearly as good on these as my old Soundblaster cans did, but gaming is definitely better. The 7.1 surround is decent, but if you watch any videos on how 7.1 simulated audio works, it is an extremely hard thing to reproduce. There is a decent amount of directional audio when you are moving around, but the 7.1 surround sound isn’t going to help much in terms of competitive gaming (which I don’t do). ‘
The DAC is compact and easy to use. The display is easy to see and all audio settings can be changed from the DAC. It’s about the size of two Amazon Fire TV units stacked on top of each other. I’m having a bit of an issue with bass and certain low-end sounds being too loud with the preset “Immersion” EQ setting. I’ve tried setting my own EQ but can’t get it to sound quite right. It depends on the game you’re playing (just finished Control, now playing Wolfenstein Youngblood) and the low-end explosions in both games are almost overpowering. You have to turn off the volume limiter to get these to be loud enough in my opinion, but they get plenty loud. Having the pass-through for my speakers was another huge sell for me. I have decent 2.1 speakers that sound great with music, so I wanted to continue being able to use them. Keep in mind that the DAC doesn’t change any sound settings on the pass-through as far as I can tell- they just take the audio and send it directly to the speakers.
I have a very sensitive head and these do eventually hurt my ears after long calls and gaming sessions. There isn’t pressure on my head with the ski-goggle headband, but I definitely feel the pressure around my ears after about 30 minutes. It’s not enough to stop playing, but it is noticeable. To be fair, most over-the-ear headphones/headsets have hurt my head.
I love the retractable mic which I don’t use for gaming but do use for video and audio calls. When it’s tucked away, the red LED isn’t really noticeable which is a nice feature. The control button on the bottom left of the earcup is a nice feature, but the push click doesn’t always work for me. I sometimes have to press twice to get the settings to change. Being able to change the volume is always nice and the mute button for the mic is key for me if I’m in a long call and don’t want everyone hearing me running to the restroom or breaking the kids away from a fight ๐
The price is extremely steep on these but they’ve been worth it. I purchased an extended warranty just in case since they’re so expensive. I purchased the white set because they were nearly $35 cheaper. SteelSeries has a members only sale that happens every so often where you can get these for less, but the convenience of buying them on Amazon and also getting 5% back with the credit card made it an easier decision.
Music sounds decent on these, but nothing like my Even H2 headphones. To be fair, I’ve never heard anything like the Even H2 headphones so it’s not really a fair comparison. I’ve used the SteelSeries to connect to my phone via Bluetooth for music as well and they work just fine. I haven’t made any calls with them, but I’m sure the quality would be great.
All in all, if you can dish out the cash for these cans, you won’t be disappointed. I wish they were a little more affordable but they really are the pinnacle of a full-featured headset. If you can find them on sale, they’re more than worth it. Great work SteelSeries!
Beesh –
I’ve had these now for about 6 months. So this isn’t an initial first impressions kind of review. I’ve read what a lot of people have said and it seems like a few people think they understand things that the clearly do not and blame the headphones for it. So let’s go.
Comfort: Honestly, this is going to come down to your ear shape and size probably more than anything. If you have little ears, or ears that sit tight to your head – then in terms of comfort I can sum it up best by saying you’ll probably forget you have them on at times. They’re comfy, lightweight, and they sit well with the ski band system. I’m a 6’6 adult male. I do not have a little head – yet these headphones stay on me all day whether im in a gaming marathon or working and listening to spotify. The only pain you’ll probably get is if you have ears that jut out from your head because the earcups are rather shallow – so your ears will be pressed against the unit and that can become painful over long periods of play; I had that for the first few days of wearing these but I haven’t felt it since.
Build Quality: I’m someone who will pay a lot of money for quality. Build Quality is a factor in me keeping or returning items. I haven’t in 6 months gotten bored of picking the headset up and putting it on. It feels great. It feels like it costs. Nothing has worn down, come loose, etc. They just keep looking and performing good.
Wireless and Battery: I’m comboing this section because they’re directly related. You get 2 batteries, so one is always charging while the other is in use. Swapping takes 5 seconds and I’ve got that down to a 1-handed science. It’s laughably easy to swap and charge the batteries, anyone who complains about this likely failed grade school recess. The battery life varies on usage scenario I have found – but I was say on average you’re looking at MINIMUM 6 hours with constant music at full volume with bass boosting (more on that next) and as much as a full day if you just leave them turned on and only use the actual speakers sparingly.
In terms of wireless range, I can broadcast from my upstairs computer (using the wireless dac) all the way into the basement (3 levels) and from the front of my property to the corners of my backyard (large lot). The only time I seem to have ANY issues with range is when I’m within 5 ft of the microwave and it’s running. Def interference there – do not recommend warming up pizza pops while wearing these headphones.
SOUND QUALITY: I left this for last, and my opening comments were mainly about this section. People complaining about the sound quality and putting that on the headphones do not know how audio works. These speakers are absolutely able to output incredible fidelity and the simulated surround sound is also top notch for headphones on the market. The issue isn’t the hardware here. It’s the limitations of the source and what the dac is able to do with that sound. Likely, you’re planning on using these headphones on PC. Windows default audio is dog ____ quality. To really get the most out of your hardware, you need a third party audio manager to unlock the capabilities of even the headset your using when reading this.
Don’t believe me, well let me show you. open up google and look for “boom 3d” (pro-tip, it’s also on steam). It will have a 100% complete free trial. Download it, and set it up. when it running, turn on it’s surround sound and pick an equalizer you like, I typically leave it on “windows”. I bet your cheap walmart headphones suddenly sound a lot better. If you want crazy good music in the arctis headset, turn surround off and instead put it to max fidelity (same row as surround button, to the right) and increase the slider controlling the equalizer. I will bet money you can’t handle the sound coming out at full volume without developing tinnitus.
See, it has nothing to do with the headset itself. The headset is money. People just don’t realize that their computers, phones, and consoles have all kinds of factory limits or settings that really gimp the audio. You can spend like crazy and never figure out why it still feels empty. There are other way to unlock that sound, but Boom 3D is the cheapest and easiest way to manage it all. Best of all, your $10 license can be used on 2 computers, so you can give one to a friend and look like a hero.
All told, this headset is amazing. I had HyperX Cloud II before this so I was coming from a very good headset with high expectations – and the Arctis has been everything I had hoped it would be.
Brad K. –
After my absolutely horrid experience with Razer during an RMA (Razer took SIX MONTHS to RMA the headset…), I was looking at contenders for my business, I ended up going for the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, after reviews for the Arctis 7’s reviews highly suggested the headsets. I was NOT disappointed!
The headset IMHO is probably THE BEST headset you could get with the feature-set it offers!
If you’re looking for a gaming-centric headset that checks the most boxes, this is it.
The unboxing experience is nothing but premium, and you can proudly, if you wish, display the box.
Everything is well-packed, and they use solid packing protection.
The headset itself needs very little setup, simply either pair it via Bluetooth, or get the base station wired up, and connect it to your device respectively. DO NOTE, that the Optical In jack is labeled as PS4, as I guess they intend the optical to only be used for the PS4. You CANNOT rename the label, but obviously you can plug in nearly any Opt Output into that input, just know it’s labeled PS4. I do wish SteelSeries would just label the inputs as the type of input it is rather than what they envision you using it for; however, this is just an insignificant gripe.
You will find the base station to be rather light, but honestly, it stays in place on the desk rather well, I’ve never had an issue with it sliding around.
Setting the base station up is as simple as plugging in your inputs, optionally plugging it into power (I believe it can pull power needed from USB, but I find the wall-based power to be the better solution), and then configuring preferences like EQ and things. I do suggest keeping Auto-Off on Off because it will shut off the headset after that time elapses, regardless of what is going on.
Lastly, the base station includes a slot to charge one of the two included batteries for the headset, which last a solid 6ish hours without needing to be charged. (Which charging one of these batteries I swear only takes like 30mins to an hour, and you can swap ’em when one gets low. There is a warning when it reaches like super-low power) You can also charge the headset via MicroUSB directly if you need it.
The headset itself matches the near-zero latency that they advertize with the 2.4g WiFi from the base station (which is probably the way you connect to your devices if you are using the base station anyways.)
The headset itself sounds VERY GOOD, not quite Audiophile, but VERY good all the same, and unless you need that audiophile level of sound, you can’t really do better IMHO. It handles everything rather well that I throw at it, even decently in the high-volume range where most headsets start to have some issues.
They are not as noise-canceling as something like the Bose Quietcomfort II’s, so if you absolutely need isolated sound, you might not find the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless to fit your needs; although it does block out most sub-ambient noise.
I do have ONE semi-major complaint, and that is the “Game/Chat Balance” feature on my headset seems to drop out the secondary channel. To clarify, when I assign an app/game to that channel, it works fine for a while, but eventually, it fades the channel and cuts the audio entirely, unless I go into that app, and fiddle with the volume to fix it, only for it to fade again. This is likely a driver problem on my end, but also I am running on Linux on my PC, and I haven’t yet found a driver that addresses that problem. If SteelSeries sees this, please reach out if you can!
On the other side though, these truly are multi-purpose! I can effortlessly go from gaming on my PC, to watching a movie in bed with these and achieve a pretty cinematic sound (The Game of Thrones intro is BREATHTAKING with this headset!). You can reliably watch at full-volume and no-one is none the wiser, which really transports you away from the rest of the environment and isolates you in whatever you are watching. It’s quite something!
In another note, you only get Bluetooth 4.1, instead of the (at the time) new Bluetooth 5, but I hardly notice a major downside without it, although I hope they update the headset soon with things like BT5 and maybe stronger WiFi. To be clear, I can get great range from the headset, and it only cuts out after I get to the other side of my house, which is all I really need.
The microphone stands pretty much toe-to-toe with my Blue Snowball, which is a relief, although for constant use I STRONGLY recommend using the popfilter attachment that they include with it, although you might run into issues when you go about retracting the mic boom into the headset when you are done using it. Also I believe it covers up the mute LED on the mic itself, but you can outright turn off the LED if you need.
They are pretty comfy, and I don’t really ever feel uncomfortable wearing them, or after taking them off, yet they are durable, and built to last. You get all the support of a metal skeleton, with none of the discomforts, and I find the “Airweave Fabric” band, which doubles as size adjust, to be suitable for even 10 to 12-hour gaming seshes
Overall, I’d take these everywhere if my job wasn’t so… Potentially abusive to the headset, with different oils and powders. I’d recommend them while traveling as well, although I am not particularly sure if the extra batteries are TSA-Compliant, but I think they are fine.
Overall, there is VERY LITTLE this headset does wrong. I am very satisfied I got this headset, and probably will buy again!
Edit:
Over the years, the headset still preforms well.
The issue I eluded to regarding the second chat channel fading, is NOT a driver problem but a hardware one. There is a capacitor on the internals that shuts off the channel if below the threshold, which is rather unfortunate. One other thing worth noting, where each side of the headset attaches to the frame, they are only secured via plastic, and are susceptible to fatigue if care isn’t taken, they are pretty durable, but they would’ve done better by securing the headset modules via metal that isn’t likely to break and effectively break the headset.
