SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless Gaming Headset User Manual

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.
