SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless Gaming Headset
WELCOME TO ARCTIS PRO WIRELESS
- History showed us that gaming headsets rarely looked good and sounded worse, so we made Arctis and put all other headsets on notice. Next, the Audiophiles said that a gaming headset could never stand up to dedicated headphones, so we made Arctis Pro and changed the game.
