The Arctis Pro Wireless was once the pinnacle of SteelSeries' gaming headset lineup, before being succeeded by the Arctis Nova Pro. It offers unique features not commonly found in other headsets, including a 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: a hot-swappable battery system. This system ensures uninterrupted wireless use by allowing you to swap batteries without downtime, as SteelSeries provides two batteries—one for use and one for charging.
The build quality of the Arctis Pro is exceptional, featuring a lightweight steel and aluminum alloy headband and a comfortable suspension headstrap perfect for extended gaming sessions. The ear cushions are made from AirWeave performance fabric, similar to those on the Arctis Nova Pro. The retractable ClearCast boom microphone adds to the convenience. The audio quality is top-notch, thanks to premium 40mm speaker drivers with high-density neodymium magnets, capable of delivering hi-res 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 upgrades like active noise cancellation and USB Type-C charging, it's not worth nearly double the cost of the Arctis Pro.
