The Arctis Pro was the pinnacle of SteelSeries' gaming headsets until the arrival of the Arctis Nova Pro. It offers exceptional features such as a standalone base station equipped with a volume knob and OLED display, the ability to connect via both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz WiFi simultaneously, and the standout **hot-swappable battery system**. This innovative system ensures you're never tethered by a charging cable, as SteelSeries includes two batteries—one for use and one for charging in the base station.
The build quality of the Arctis Pro is top-notch, 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 newer Arctis Nova Pro. The retractable ClearCast boom microphone is a nice touch, and the audio quality is exceptional, thanks to premium 40mm speaker drivers with high-density neodymium magnets that support 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.
