The Arctis Pro was the pinnacle of SteelSeries' gaming headsets until the release of its successor, the Arctis Nova Pro. This model is packed with unique features such as a standalone base station with a volume knob and OLED display, the ability to connect simultaneously via Bluetooth and 2.4GHz WiFi, and the standout feature: the hot-swappable battery system. This system ensures you never have to pause your gaming to recharge, as SteelSeries provides two batteries—one for use in the headset and one charging in the base station.

The Arctis Pro boasts exceptional build quality, with a headband made of a lightweight steel and aluminum alloy, and a suspension headstrap that ensures comfort during extended gaming sessions. The ear cushions are crafted from AirWeave performance fabric, similar to that on the newer Arctis Nova Pro. The ClearCast boom microphone is retractable for convenience. The audio quality is top-notch, thanks to premium 40mm speaker drivers with high-density neodymium magnets, capable of reproducing high-resolution audio up to 40,000Hz.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro Review by Matt Elliot:

"The SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless offers premium build quality, a comfortable design, and exceptional sound. The ingenious battery-swapping feature ensures you're never out of power. While its sound is impressive, the Arctis Pro + GameDAC, which is wired but still comfortable and versatile, edges out in performance and is $70 cheaper. Alternatively, the wireless Arctis 7 is available for less than half the price, offering another budget-friendly option."

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. Despite its favorable reviews and significant upgrades like active noise cancellation and USB Type-C charging, the Nova Pro's price is nearly double that of the Arctis Pro, making the current deal on the Arctis Pro even more appealing.
