Reviewer score 83%Arctis Pro's frequency response range is massive, ranging from 10Hz to 40KHz. DTS Headphones:X technology makes an appearance here as in other Arctis headsets. The Pro Wireless can't magic away the limitations of digital surround, but it implements it as well as we've heard on the market while delivering truly rich and hi-res stereo sound.
