GameDACĪt the heart of the SteelSeries Arctis Pro is the GameDAC, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that allows SteelSeries' headset to pump out 96-kHz/24-bit audio. I wore the Arctis Pro for hours on end both at work and while gaming at home and never got the urge to take it off. The headset once again features SteelSeries' signature ski-goggle headband design, which automatically conforms to your dome for a snug but cozy fit.Īnd if the headband doesn't feel right out of the box, you can easily make it looser or tighter via a Velcro strap at the top of the headset. Like previous Arctis iterations, the Arctis Pro is a delight to wear. The mute button is bigger and more textured this time around, making it easier to find in the middle of a heated play session. A volume knob, retractable microphone, mute button, and 3.5mm and proprietary audio jacks all rest on the left cup, and all are pretty painless to reach. Extra goodies aside, the Arctis Pro sports the same on-ear controls as other models.
