[@awesomethecool]

This is the video that convinced me to buy a few months ago. I really love it overall so far, and it's the best headset I've ever owned. However, I want to bring up some criticisms to help other people decide if they want it or not. I don't like how long it takes to turn on the headset, you need to hold the power button for what feels like a solid 5 seconds, which is way too long, especially when you consider the fact that you need to do it every time you switch batteries, so it probably gives you a total 15-20 second downtime and 5 of them is from just holding the power button, which feels like forever when you want to go back to whatever you were watching/playing. It makes a very loud squeaking sound when you press the headset against your ears, so you can't really enjoy netflix in bed while laying on your side with the headphones, or if you lean against a window/wall while in public like on a bus or something. (These are very usable in public btw, if you like wearing heavy headphones outside, that is.) If you use it on your phone via Bluetooth, it will turn the volume all the way down for a moment, then turn it up to whatever your volume is set on your headphones EVERY TIME you play any media, or make any sound on your phone. So when you're going through menus on your phone with the headset on, the volume slider will pop up constantly, showing it going to 0, then back to regular volume, sometimes blocking the screen so I can't select something until it's gone. It's great for continously playing content like Netflix or KZbin though, but not for browsing Reddit or going through menus. Might not happen to every phone, (I hope) but it happens to mine, which is a Samsung S9+ These are my biggest torments from owning this headset, however I VERY MUCH recommend these, as other headsets have many more faults in my experience.

[@DavidLeiser88]

The time it takes to turn on the headset is by far the most annoying thing. I think this could be easy fixed with a software update..

[@face76]

Pere ZoZo not really. It’s hardware not software. It would be different if you hit the power button and it too 5 seconds but you have to hold the button in. So it’s hardware. It’s like holding the power button on a PS4 to go into safe mode. It’s a hardware setup. The button is made to be held in to power on. To change that you’ll have to change how the button works and that would be hardware again.

[@face76]

Stian V I use my all the time watching Netflix, KZbin, or tv in bed. Laying on my side doesn’t cause any sound. The Bluetooth volume thing isn’t an issue. When I turn mine on it does the same thing. It’s more of a safety feature to me as so your ears are not blasted in the sound is turned all the way up. It’s not like you have to turn the volume back up to where it was. As for the volume slider popping up, never has happened to me. I use the s10 note and iPad Pro 12.9 3rd gen. Neither have had the volume bar pop at all while going thru menus or browsing the internet. The power is isn’t a problem. If you are watching something it pauses automatically when the if the battery dies. If you plan on using the headset longer then a few hours maybe put the fresh battery in before you start. Then you will have at least 10 hours without having to replace the battery or power off or on. I mean 5 seconds though isn’t that big of a deal when powering on. If it is use the audio cable. Don’t need to be charged or anything. I mean it takes less than a minute to change a battery and power back off from a dead battery. Lol

a static or hissing sound is usually caused by sidetone coming from the microphone, essentially its just background noise that your mic is picking up and the speakers are then playing it to you. If you mute you mic this should no longer happen, but if it does then i think there might be something wrong!

Please note that there is a blackout when you swap batteries. A brilliant idea would have been to include a small built-in battery in the headset for the moment you're swapping batteries to avoid sound interruption. Sound will be cut when you swap batteries.

When you stretched it out at 6:00 you gave me the heebie-jeebies. My set of wired Arctis Pro's broke thismorning where the silver part goes into the earcup as I was putting them on my head. It's thin plastic (the casing of the earcup), not sure if its different on the wireless version or not. My set was about 3 months old. Taking it back tomorrow along with my old set of G936's which I found are under extended warranty and going to hopefully upgrade to the wireless version if they'll let me Soundstage is probably different as the speaker chamber is smaller due to the battery and other extra electronics

Hey, first of all i want to thank you for all the energy and time you spend to make these reviews. You definitely deserve more visibility, the reviews are always entertaining and you're always in a positive mood. I have some questions about this headset. -Is the 7.1 avaible on ps4 or only on pc ? -Can we use this headset on any device such as a phone, laptop,... That has bluetooth ? -Is there a 3.5mm jack on the headset to watch a movie with someone else for exemple ? -Is it possible to use the wired version without going through the game dac right into your controller/phone Thanks by advance ! Keep up with the good work !

[@TheTechne]

thank you very much for the kind words! as for your questions, the 7.1 I do not remember that. I believe it was, because it's all controlled by the dac, and as for the other questions, yes.

[@steveybiggunzgaming8118]

U need to update it out the box using it on pc and surround sound is a pc feature. I’m using the wireless one on my phone right now, the wired one will provide a few issues to work around but technically possible. Wired or wireless both can be 3.5mm to anything with the jack and works very good.

26:00 i have the pro wireless and love them but struggled with well competition and wanting better wired capabilities if i wired the wireless and i could not figure out if it wold work like wired ones.( thought it might because of the same drivers in it as wired version) gotta say thanks for finally addressing this and answering it because im sure there are many like me that would love the option of great wired and wireless audio, i would love it if you contacted them to see why they dont have the same capable sound stage with the exact same drivers they claim to have in both versions.

[@ambiven10]

I have the same question, why both versions sound different when using with wire if they have same drivers.

[@KylePandapatan]

- SOUND. I’m with Techne on turning OFF the Volume Limiter. Trying it out, the sound was horrible at first (the highs and lows felt short/capped), then with the volume limiter off, the drivers could finally sing. I tried this for Zoom meetings/Discord calls, RPGs, music, and the sound’s good. Note: not an audiophile. - EARPADS. I’m not sure if it’s just a me thing. SteelSeries Arctis Airweave Earpads always feel hot/uncomfortable to me. But leather earpads aren’t. For most leather is hotter. Weird, right? (I’m not sure if its their good seal making my ears pop with pressure or my skin preferring a different texture.) Might try this with leather earpads or a hybrid velour. - GLASSES. Glasses wearer here. Even with flat frame sides, it’s not the most comfortable. But if you get a good fit between the headband, the earpads, your ears, and the frame’s temples, it gets less noticeable (comfortable even). IMO, better with glasses off to prevent headaches. A good compromise is wearing the headset first to get a good fit, then slipping in glasses with flatter temples. This helps prevent the thick earpad behind your ears from squeezing on the tip of your glasses’ temple tips and giving headaches. (Note that depending on the fit, the headset may have some clamping force that will bend your glasses’ temples.) For very long sessions with glasses, my much cheaper Razer Kraken X (with their eyewear channels) are more comfortable. But that one’s wired and without the useful features on the higher end Arctis models (ex. Mic mute LED, clear difference between mute and volume knocker, dual source chatmix, etc.)

[@leandrogomes7738]

Amazing review, and no, I'm not talking about the product, but the quality of your video. Congratulations! Question: did you test this product together with the Dolby Atmos for Headphones that is built-in in Windows 10?

[@TheTechne]

I have atoms, but no I didn't use it with these. The option was grayed out for me when connected through the dac. BTW thank you so much for the kind words!!

[@aalever]

I believe the frequency response of the wireless is up to 40KHz, whereas it's up to 96KHz on the wired, which is what's required to meet the Hi-Res sound standard. That might be why that sound stage doesn't work on the wireless. Not that most people would tell the difference unless they're doing a side-by-side comparison though.

Great review man! Love your reviews, I just subscribed. I went with the Arctis 9 over this one, I just don’t think it’s worth the price, when you can take all the largely unneeded stuff off and spend $150 less. If these were maybe $250 USD, I think that might be worth it. It just seems like a lot of stuff I don’t need for way too much money. Plus I like having the ability to be mobile since I use a laptop, and the A9 is easier to move with just the dongle. Personally, I’d recommend the Arctis 9 for anyone reading the comments, over the Arctis Pro Wireless. Since you don’t even get that much of a better sound stage anyway. The Arctis Pro Wireless just seems way over priced and useless. Cause if you’re looking for top notch sound, you’d go with the Arctis Pro Wired for a lot less money. But I was able to figure all that out for myself by watching this review, and your A9 review.

[@lingonberryjam320]

Well, how is it?

[@LadySamurai88]

@@lingonberryjam320 It’s AMAZING!!! Worth the money if you ask me! Lol

[@lingonberryjam320]

@@LadySamurai88 You had luck my ma'am! I have had bad luck in the past got a lot of faulty ones(white noise bt problems bad build out of box) so I changed to the astro a50 gen 4 and im enjoying it. Im happy you're enjoying them at least.

[@LadySamurai88]

@@lingonberryjam320 Oh that sucks! There is always a possibility to get a faulty one but if you keep getting faulty ones i can understand that you don’t trust the brand anymore. Glad that the headset you get instead is good!

[@lingonberryjam320]

@@LadySamurai88 Well, I hope I could get one without faults because sometimes the astro a50 cuts sound for like a second and it's kinda annoying sometimes. Only negative tho. But the arctis had better connection imo.

Great review, thanks for showing us all those options and features. Keep up the great work brother

[@TheTechne]

thank you!

Finally! A good headset for my hardcore Minecraft gaming.

One of my quarantine pastimes has become buying expensive PC upgrades and then watching as many reviews as possible on those upgrades while I wait for them to be delivered

[@RealNickBurton]

This offends me. How do you know me?!

[@Carlos-ux1dh]

I think I will be buying these eventually, pretty excited

[@TheTechne]

such an awesome headset!

[@themankam3]

Thank you for a detailed review of the DAC, not found this elsewhere

[@aze254]

Hey, after watching loads of reviews I just got the pro wireless today and i wasnt expecting a constant hiss sound, when theres sound playing its kinda fine? When music gets quiet or theres no sound for a second you can hear it, theres just a constant hiss,. my mic is turned off so i dont think its feedback. Is there anything im missing? is this normal? Also, if i turn the volume all the way down its still there and when i turn it all the way up its even louder :/

[@SugaFree2387]

Great review, but its weird because i found the soundstage to be slightly more vast on the wireless and the sound out of the box was more balanced on wireless. I guess everyone's ears are different.

[@Juice_VI]

That intro beat! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 you do great reviews!

[@scottrocco8412]

Nice review buddy. I just ordered these from their website today.

[@TheTechne]

thank you! you're going to love the headset!

[@JVF7]

Cheaper on Amazon

[@mdnborg]

Shoulda waited for that %20 off Black Friday sale

[@glimmerman4hm]

Thank you sir you have answered all my questions!

[@kelvinvanmaas4661]

How is no one talking about the crazy white/static noise on these... i bought them today returned them right away. The white/static noise is so loud and distracting on this headset. Even when i am in game or listening to music i can still hear the white noise. Only that makes it not worth 300 euro/dollar

[@louisswart]

Hi, amazing review THANKS!! Did you get a solution for the wired audio quality?

[@woopdedo7939]

I love your attitude. Just got this headset off of the official website and I got $110 off for making a Steelseries email! What a deal! Really enjoyed this video and thanks for the information!

[@TheTechne]

thank you! yeah that SS sale is awesome, I picked up another pair of the 7's (I just wanted them in white, lol)

[@woopdedo7939]

The Techne white does look pretty sweet!

[@charliebeee08]

Excellent and honest review, thanks

[@andysledge]

Why are you not mentioning the static white noise? And it gets much worse when you turning off volume limiter. Almost no reviewer mentions the white noise wtf

[@phil_matic]

I have had this headset since 2019. I thought it was time to upgrade, so I tried the Audeze Maxwell Wireless. That headset is $300+ now, and after using it for a few days, I'm returning it and going right back to the Arctis Pro Wireless.

[@JPacaldo]

Steel Series is having a big sale right now for all their headsets. I've bought all the headsets I've owned from them on sale. Coming from the 3 to the 7 to now these. Really excited. I love wireless peripherals and it's fine to me sacrificing some audio quality for it. I've always loved the minimal look of the Steel Series headsets, not gamer look but totally gamer quality in everything else which is what I love. I really can't wait.

[@TargetSniper365]

Just purchased because of your review even though the wired has the hi res audio I need that freedom of wireless and also Bluetooth like you said for phone calls. Big time pc gamer so I’m hoping these will sound amazing for games like rainbow six siege where footsteps are huge

[@TheTechne]

I also went back to the pro wireless :)

[@memes4days632]

youre a nice guy man, such a good content creator, just bought the wired ones

[@TheTechne]

thank you so much! great headset you picked out!

[@joelashtonfogle]

The Techne I am looking for a noise cancelling headset for all purpose headphones or headset. I have Aspergers so I'm very picky about sound. What would you recommend for gaming Hyper X or Steelseries? Would you recommend a gaming headset for music use or buy Bose or Sony for example. I have so many questions to ask. Please dm me on KZbin

[@TheTechne]

@@joelashtonfogle I do use an external amp/headphones as well as a gaming headset.

[@memes4days632]

@@TheTechne Hey man, i just received my headphones. the artic pros plus gamedac and i am having huge problems with discord, my friend can hear me but i cant hear anything from his side. I checked with other headphones and they worked?

@@memes4days632 double check your windows sound settings, and set the pro's are your main device (chat and audio) might have to disable others

Great Audio on this video .... pleasing to hear and follow along

The last 2 minutes were really helpfull. I was very ready to buy this but finally decided to get pro 7 and save some money.

[@Jimmer13]

The beat made this video 100x better my god

[@NileKeating]

did you ever get confirmation that plugging in the wireless makes the audio like the wired one? or does it not have the same internals?

[@benetnasch_alkaid]

Just bought them, can't wait for them :D
