I wish this ridiculously expensive gaming headset wasn’t so freaking good

Let me start this review with a statement: No one needs, has needed, or will ever need to spend $329 on a wireless gaming headset. No one needs to spend that much money on headphones, period. One of my friends spends less than that on rent. But if you do find yourself with a tremendous amount of disposable income or a serious PUBG addiction, then SteelSeries has the only gaming headset you even need to consider.
But plenty of headphones are comfortable and durable. The most innovative thing in the Arctis Pro Wireless is the battery. It comes with two, and one lives in the headset, while the other is on charge in the base station. That means you’ll never have a dead headset in the middle of a game, and the battery is hidden under a magnetic headphone cover and is dead-simple to swap.

The final component of a perfect headset is good audio, and as you’d probably expect from SteelSeries, the Arctis Pro Wireless delivers in spades. The balance is tuned for gaming, and you’ll have no problem hearing everything clearly and accurately, even in a game with more critical audio like Overwatch. The sound stage is excellent, so you’ll be able to detect where those footsteps are coming from without a problem. The sound is also surprisingly good for music, handling everything from rock to classical with a balanced sound that doesn’t get muddy or distorted. There are numerous different sound profiles that come pre-loaded, or you can tweak with the EQ to your heart’s content to get everything perfectly tuned to your liking.
