I wish they isolated more outside sound I’d gladly trade in the sporty earcup fabric for material with a better seal. The elastic headband maintains a secure fit on my noggin, but is also adjustable for comfort. I’ve worn them for hours on end and found them to be comfortable. It’s still a gaming headset, so it practically has to right? It’s kept pretty tasteful though, with just a thin red oval surrounding the earcups.
Both feature an attractive minimalist design in a charcoal grey – you wouldn’t be able to tell they were gaming headphones if it weren’t for the microphone, which leaves a little nub on the left earcup even when fully retracted. There are two variants, one wired ($249) and one wireless ($329). Enter the Arctis Pro, SteelSeries’ attempt to build gaming headphones for people like me. The company is well aware of this though.
This wasn’t exclusive to SteelSeries like so many other gamers with an audiophiliac bent, I almost always found headphones made by established hi-fi brands outperformed headphones specifically marketed at gamers, even if that meant sacrificing some practicality in-game. SteelSeries has been making gaming headphones since before I landed my first headshot, but they’ve never been something that appealed to my hi-fi sensibilities.
