Do you own one?
How so?
All gaming headsets sound trash. Especially the wireless ones.
I haven't tried the Arctis headphones, but I've got to comment that the SteelSeries products have poor build quality in my experience.
I had the SteelSeries H wireless a few years back (their top of the line headphones, cost $500+) which broke down within the 2 year warranty period, left side of the headphones stopped working. I did a RMA for it back to SteelSeries and in return received store credit for what it was worth, I then used it to buy a few mousepads and 2x Siberia 650. I am a very light headphone user (probably 2 hours a week in usage), and was surprised when the 650 broke down within a year; same problem left side of the headphone stopped working. I couldn't RMA the 650 because store credit bought products didn't have 1 year warranty. During this time I also bought a SteelSeries Rival 700 which had intermittent connection issues within warranty which I had to return to the seller.
One other problem I had with the wireless H and Siberia 650 I had was that the mic was terrible, no one could hear what I was saying unless I was almost shouting.
Pretty disappointed with the build quality of SteelSeries products I must say or maybe it's my luck with SteelSeries products, considering their premium they charge. Hopefully, the build quality is better now, but I wouldn't be buying any of their products again.
No its not a 'very good price'
Regular arctis 5's cost $120
How do you justify a $100 increase for the wireless feature.
While the Arctis 5's i own are great as far as 'gaming' headsets go, the headband elastic has lost all its strength within a year and ive since sitched the headband to be shorter.
I just got the Arctis 7's a few days ago for $194. They are a very good wireless headset. If I waited till now I would've bought these instead at this price.
This one isn't wireless though.
I think you got a better deal than this. Where is that price BTW?
was on Amazon

They are actually cheaper now (Hello 28 degrees price protection :D)
Made a deal post on front page as the current price is worth it.
I have the Siberia 800s.
How much better are they?
Wouldn’t mind a second headset so I don’t have to keep unplugging from my ps4/Xbox/pc
Well obviously this is the wired variant. The headset itself is very good, I have the Wireless Pro variant, but not a big leap over the Wireless H (which was rebranded as the 800s) which I had beforehand.
Having said that, being wired with a decent DAC it could certainly elevate the sound.
You obviously need a special DAC for games, the one in the motherboard that sounds identical isn't enough for gaming!
Heads up, does not come with DAC. Mine just arrived. No DAC.
Contact Amazon. It's clearly advertised as including the DAC, it's in the title and in the description.
Yep, have done. now having to ship the item back and re-order. price has gone up a whole 2 cents.
Second re-order of this came through. Still no GameDAC. Whilst the title in the link says SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC Gaming Headset - Black, if you look at the 'style' further down the page, and the related images of the product, this is just the Arctis Pro headset without GameDAC. Buyer beware.
FYI, received a full refund for this purchase without needing to return.
Very good price, the best I have ever seen. However the product itself is trash.
