Thankfully, my webcam is too noisy to see my reddened cheeksĪlmost every week, I will inevitably be on a Zoom or Teams or Skype or Slack or Discord call when I’ll hear the dreaded beep - the beep that means the battery is nearly dead. It’s true! There’s just one tiny thing I neglected to mention: the act of keeping it powered on can involve regular embarrassment. I make a lot of calls with the Arctis Pro Wireless, too, thanks to its built-in Bluetooth. When the battery runs out, I can just pop a spare battery pack out of the base station and swap it in under 15 seconds. When a too-loud game drowns out my friends, I tap the dial beneath the ear cup to rebalance the audio between “game” and “chat” - it gives you two different audio devices in Windows. If I’m gaming with buddies and want a snack, I don’t need to stop chatting - I just walk several rooms away to the kitchen and the audio never cuts out. Here’s how I described living with the Arctis Pro Wireless earlier this year: It’s a nearly perfect gadget - but a couple of times a week, that “nearly” part makes me want to scream.

In 2018, I tested it against every single competitor on the market ( seriously, all of them), and none could beat its combination of excellent audio quality, a clear microphone, incredible wireless range, oodles of connectivity, and twin swappable batteries. If you’re going to make the best product on the market, please go all the way.Ĭase in point: the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless is one of the best wireless gaming headsets ever made.
