Moving to the left earcup, you'll find a retractable mic on the front of each set, as well as inputs and controls on the back. Sporting a gunmetal gray finish, the headset itself has a more elegant appearance than those headsets in the original line.īoth sets of cans feature the same comfortable ski-goggle headband found in other Arctis models, while the earcups seem bigger and more agreeable than those on the Arctis 5 and Arctis 7. Made with premium materials, the Arctis Pro+ and the Arctis Pro Wireless are made of sturdy aluminum alloy and steel across the headband and hangers, with bits of resilient plastic gracing the outside of each removable, customizable earcup. Whereas other headsets in the Arctis line have felt a bit flimsy in the past, the Arctis Pro tier feels anything but. If you've got the budget for these bad boys, you won't be disappointed.

They're high-end for sure - and going toe to toe with the likes of Sennheiser, ASUS, and Astro, they ought to be. The only 'big' downsides are that they're fairly expensive when compared to many gaming headsets on the market, and they're both a bit cumbersome to set up out of the box. Combining some of the technology found in the Siberia line of headsets, these new cans allow for nuanced customization for almost any setup. There's a lot to love here, and I'd wager these are the best headsets SteelSeries has ever released.

The line sports an improved design, sturdy construction, and a few bells and whistles you don't typically find on most gaming headsets these days. Coming in two variants - a wired Pro+ GameDAC version and a Wireless Pro Bluetooth version - this new Arctis echelon focuses on high-quality, high-fidelity sounds for the PS4 and PC.
