That says a lot about this unit’s sound quality.

Analog audio might not but as detailed, but it still sounds fantastic. In fact, these headset is so good there’s not much difference between the analog and the digital inputs. Its sound performance is of the audiophile variety, whether you choose to go analog or digital. It also allows you to turn the DTS on or off with a press of a button to toggle virtual surround sound.Īs far as sound goes, Arctis Pro is a majestic siren. It has its own OLED screen display, which allows you to adjust the volume, EQ curve, input, the Sidetone (how much you hear of yourself while talking on the mic), LED colors, and the ChatMix (the balance between in game and chat audio) without going through a software. But it’s another minor detail we can overlook, especially because of its capabilities. So you’ll never be able to just take the whole Arctis Pro setup and plug it into a phone to get the best audio it can deliver. Like an anchor it’s big, bulky,heavy and requires a USB power source. This GameDAC, ergonomically speaking, feels kind of in the way. However, it does help deliver extremely low distortion at even the highest output levels. We noticed that this feature doesn’t necessarily give the headset a punchier sound than its competitors. While most gaming consoles and PCs have their own built-in converters, the Arctis Pro’s included GameDAC will override them as it offers higher quality audio performance.Īs an extra perk, it also has its own amplifier circuit. The Arctis Pro’s best feature is its digital to analog audio converter designed specifically for gaming.
