Product Overview

SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC is a flagship model of SteelSeries' lineup. It adds a hi-res audio-enabled GameDAC to the standard Arctis Pro headset, offering higher grade sound quality potential to the already premium unit.
The headset unit is identical to the base model, with 40mm drivers powered by high-density neodymium magnets at its heart. These drivers deliver a broad frequency response from 10Hz up to 40kHz. There is also a retractable boom microphone that offers background noise cancellation and can be hidden away while not needed.
Unlike the base model, the the GameDac replaces the base ChatMix unit. It adds more connectivity options and comes with an OLED display, much like the transmitter base station of the wireless version of the Arctis Pro.

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro is undeniably a gaming headset in its aesthetic. The left ear cup houses the retractable mic, which extends about four inches on a flexible wire. LED lights ring both headphones, and a bright light shines from the mic when it's muted. You can change their color using the included GameDAC unit.
Pros
  • Great sound quality
  • Comfortable fit
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Mediocre battery life

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro GameDAC are alright for neutral sound. While their bass and treble delivery depend on their fit, seal, and positioning, the DAC makes it easy to tweak the way they sound on-the-fly thanks to their built-in EQ. The companion software also has a graphic EQ available and you can save your configurations for later use.
Pros
  • Bass and treble delivery depend on fit, seal, and positioning
  • Built-in EQ allows you to tweak the sound to your liking on-the-fly
Cons
  • Bulky design

The Airweave fabric ear cushions are extremely comfortable for extended periods of play and help to keep your ears cool while still providing great noise cancelling.
Pros
  • Excellent build quality
  • Excellent audio quality
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not ideal for larger heads
