I've had these for about 2 weeks now and have been very impressed. Sound quality is great for sub $300 (sub $200 if you find a sale!) My friends were happy with the increase in mic quality over my last set. The game-dac was easy to set up and is pretty easy to use. This is my first product from SteelSeries and if their other equipment is of similar quality, it will not be my last.

Product is excellent. I've tested many multi-function headsets and found this to have the best audio quality by far.

Dell service and delivery was terrific. The SteelSeries Arctis Pro Headset is really comfortable, and sound terrific. The only I thing I don't like is the proprietary plug design that SteelSeries incorporates. As someone who disconnects his headset after use, when shutting down my computer, I find it was difficult to connect the plugs to both the headset and the GameDAC. SteelSeries needs to seriously think about a redesign here.

Excellent product. The max volume output is not as loud as I had hoped. But the sound quality, the build quality, and every aspect of this product is just excellent.

It’s a lot of wires, but cable management is easy. The mic quality is wonderful, and the headset is crisp and loud. The RGB on this headset is nice, if you don’t like rgb, you can turn it off. And mic talkback is nice to hear.

Sounds amazing! The device came in quickly and was delivered safely. The gamedac is definitely worth the extra money!

I do not consider myself an audiophile by any means, but I've used several headsets for my PS4. I can say that this one is the best.

Great headset. Have and it for about a month and it is definitely the best headset I’ve ever owned. A bit pricey but I think the gamedac a great feature. When I play games while on a chatting service (discord, Xbox live) it’s easy to adjust the in game volume and/or the chat volume without clicking setting or tabbing out of the application. The sound on it is pretty amazing as well. Comfortably is great but sometimes when I am wearing them for 6+ hours my ears start feel some pressure but nothing I can’t handle. Overall I would recommend!

The Steelseries Arctis Pro with the Gamedac is worth its price. The audio is clean and wide. High quality headphones that don’t feel it will break when the earcups are stretched.

Hands-down, the best sounding gaming headset on the market, AND when factoring in the DAC with ESS it's probably the best overall headset value for other uses like listening to music. I've tried (and returned most of the so-called high-end gaming headsets. They all work fine with their noise cancelling and surround sound features, but where most fail is in overall sound quality. And that's where the SteelSeries Arctis Pro excels. Don't hesitate to pick these up for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
