These headphones are a sick deal for this price and even at the original $250 price-point tbh. I was considering buying these new, but I decided to try out a refurbished one from Amazon since they claim that they inspect them heavily before selling them again. Well, IDK if they always do such a great job, but I can safely say that this model is pretty much visually and mechanically in perfect condition!

They sound great, are decently comfortable, look pretty good (mainly thanks to the RGB) and were pretty easy to set up on my gaming PC.

Being a gamer I wasn't really expecting much, but these headphones literally blew me away. I've heard noises in some games I play that I've never heard before. The microphone works so well that my Discord friends told me I sounded like a grizzly bear while breathing through my nose so I had to adjust it farther away from my mouth than I was use to. If your a gamer like myself then these are the headphones for you. Extremely comfortable, easy to install, and the sound will blow you away. Definite 10 out of 10 in my opinion.

Just picked these up. Upgraded from my Gen 3 Astro A50. Wow, just wow! Saved my self $100 over brand new ones. I don’t care about the OEM box, the packaging was perfect. The headsets came as close as new as you can get them. If they come back in stock id say go for it %100. Amazing, SUPERIOR sounding headsets compared to my astros.

1.0 out of 5 stars TERRIBLE customer service.
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
This review is due to customer service (or complete lack thereof) that I received in regards to what was clearly a warranty issue. I purchased these headphones due to a LOT of research, and paid for the top model because in my experience you often get what you pay for! I enjoyed the headphones, they are very comfortable with great sound quality. However a few weeks in I started noticing them having issues intermittently disconnecting from my computer. I contacted customer support (the only option they have buried on their website is to open a ticket via email) and after waiting a full day, was told to "factory reset." Clearly not the issue, but I get it, it's the first line of defense for customer support. So I happily complied. No improvement. I replied to the ticket saying the issue was still not resolved. No reply. I waited a week. Still no reply. I sent ANOTHER update, thinking maybe I was buried in their tickets/email threads. I waited ANOTHER FULL WEEK (3 weeks total now) to get, you guessed it, another generic email. This one said "we are aware of this issue and are investigating it." and then proceeded to give me a bunch of power settings to tweak on my computer. Sorry. My computer is brand new and I have no issues with any other device. This is very clearly an issue with YOUR product. More than likely, it's a faulty cable that could be replaced on their end for a nominal cost. Instead they have chosen to draw out this issue for what has now been over a MONTH. This is completely unacceptable. I will not be buying any products for SteelSeries ever again, and I have to recommend that you don't either.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not sure what the hype is about but still a good headset with a few harmful flaws
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2019
Verified Purchase
Overall, great sound with a wonderful DAC controller, but falls short in a few areas such as the microphone, cables, and comfort.

Pros:
-Sound is great. I'm not really an audiophile but I appreciate good sound quality for gaming, movies, music, and videos.
-I actually love the DAC interface, simplicity, and usability, however I didn't fully get the game sounds/voice channel separation feature to work properly but I'll attribute to user error
-The DAC also has some useful inputs and outputs like
-The DAC controller is also great quality and I love it
-The SteelSeries Engine 3 software configuration with this headset seems to work well and has useful configs
-The design is simple, clean, and attractive, especially the RGB rings around the ears and on the mic (customization is a plus too)

Cons:
I'm not really picky so these are actually major gripes to me.
-The cables used are kinda standard but for a $250 headset, I expected either thicker or braided cables
-Cables continued, they use proprietary connectors so it's not grab and go, but does come with a 3.5mm converter for use with say, a smart phone
-My ears hurt after a while. I can use my old headsets for hours and hours but this hurts a bit after 3-4ish hours and I have a relatively small head. I have to adjust so they don't hurt but still eventually start to again
-The headband isn't every adjustable. Again with the small head, but the band is in the max position. It uses an elastic band that frankly doesn't make sense on how to adjust.
-The mic seems pretty sensitive honestly even adjusting it via the SteelSeries Engine 3 and Windows audio control panel, considering I haven't had any issue with my Astros, and I have a Cherry MX Blue mechanical keyboard (clicky and loud, yeah that's my fault) as well as prefer open mic, this isn't a good combo (however my argument is I didn't have this issue with my Astros, but may not be a problem with other setups.

Other thoughts/notes:
I've had a variety of headsets starting with the Tritton AX720, Turtle Beach X11 and DX11 alike, Turtle Beach PX5, Astros A40 + MixAmp Pro (circa 2014), the Astros A40 TR + MixAmp Pro (circa 2019), Turtle Beach X42, Logitech G930, and these Steel Series Arctis Pro + DAC, and I'd say although not all are a fair comparison, these are my 2nd favorite overall, 2nd to my Astros A40 (c. 2014). The comfort and mic sensitivity are killers but otherwise it's a great headset considering I got it Amazon Recertified for about $160.
I'm going to use these at the expense of my ear comfort with caution as to how loudly I type until something better comes along. I'd use my 2019 Astros which I also love but I got some complaints about the mic quality (not sensitivity).

5.0 out of 5 stars By far the best headset I’ve ever owned.

Typically in the past I would never have a headset costing more than $80. This time I decided to shell out the money.... and wow was it worth it.

The sound is amazing in Hi-Res 96k 24-bit. I’ve never had a sound device sound so good. Great for making beats I would assume too, I’m hearing things in music I never noticed before. True 7.1 surround sound takes all the guessing away when trying to hear people in games. I had a virtual 7.1 surround sound headset and it was very hard to discern if footsteps I heard were above or below me.

It’s loud, I had a Logitech G35 prior to this and that thing was so quiet I had to use Voice Meeter to boost it. This can be boosted right from the GameDAC.

The line out feature is great for switching to speakers when the headset powers off. Or you can use it to duplicate the signal and send it to a second device like a streaming PC.

This is not Arctis Pro and there was no game DAC provided along with the headphones. There was cellophane tape pasted all over the headphones and the box casing was completely ruined.
(the box can be forgiven since it's a second hand product but the rest of the things cannot be.)

Edit - two years in and still work great. Still really comfortable. All the rgbs still work and nothing has fallin apart. Ear foam is still like day one. Super comfortable. Ill admit i tryy best to tale care of my electronics. If you are the type.to drop.and bang your jeadphones all over, get something cheaper. Crystal clear mic. RGB! 3.5 MM adapter and optical cable included. Set up was easy. Good at keeping the outside world at bay, Cant hear the wife nag unless she stands and yells in my ear lol. Works with xbox one x via optical cable but to use voice chat you must plug headphones into control to get the mic to work for xbox.
