Steelseries Arctis Pro + GameDAC review
There's no question the Arctis Pro sounds great - and not just "sounds great for a gaming headset", either. The 'phones themselves produced a balanced sound with real clarity, instead of the bass-centric mush we've come to expect from most gamer-geared cans. The GameDAC is a handy way to get your music under control without having to dig into the software every time you want to make a tweak, and the built-in DAC is a genuine step up from integrated audio, too. Does it do enough to justify the cost, though? That depends if you have 24-bit tracks or a Tidal subscription to feed it with high quality audio. If you're truly serious about sound, you'd still want a pair of headphones for listening and a separate headset for games. For one pair that does both things very well, though, this certainly hits the spot.
Great sound quality for music and film, as well as games; External DAC a step up from integrated audio; Comfy fit;
LED lights are a bit lairy; Expensive;
