SteelSeries - Arctis Pro Wired

Steelseries. Although I’d recommend the arctis pro. I’ve had both headsets and I will never go back to Logitech for anything except my mouse.

These headsets in particular will have plastic that after a couple years of use will dry out and snap for no reason. I just put mine on the head and they snap and my head is quite small on average so tension on my head should be way smaller than other people. When I googled the problem it had happened to a ton of people and ofcourse the warranty was just out so I couldnt get a new pair and they gave me nothing.

Audeze Maxwell - Considered one of the best wireless gaming headsets. Popular with music creators as well as for gaming. Mic is reasonably good, though can clip a little. Comes with leather earpads, but they can be replaced easily. Drop + EPOS PC38X - One of the best wired gaming headsets for sound clarity and mic quality. Bass reproduction is a bit muted, which is common for older style EPOS / Sennheiser headsets, and common with open back headphones in general. The mic is essentially the best of any consumer headset you can buy. Generally can only be bought directly from Drop's site. Comes with both cloth and velour earpads. [https://drop.com/buy/drop-epos-pc38x-gaming-headset](https://drop.com/buy/drop-epos-pc38x-gaming-headset) Steel Series Arctis headsets are generally a decent middle ground in terms of decent bass and mic quality. The overall audio quality isn't as good as either the Maxwell or PC38X, but they're closed back so their bass response is more like the Maxwell. And the mic quality is generally better than the Maxwell, but no where near as good as the PC38X. Most (maybe all?) use cloth earpads. Nova Pro Wireless and Nova 9 are both quite good, with the Nova 9 being slightly better in terms of audio clarity and mic quality, but the Pro Wireless has better bass and noise cancelling.

Can confirm these are amazing got mine recently and the swappable batteries are a game changer. I had to config my router to run a 5ghz frequency though, the 2.4 (I think) seemed to interfere with the audio especially when downloading sometimes but since the fix I cannot fault them.

I absolutely love my steel series arctis pros. I actually love all my steel series stuff. I'm not nice to my stuff at all I beat the shit out of my peripherals but my steel series stuff keep going strong. My sensei mouse made it 7 years of being spilled on and rage slammed and THE only reason I bought a new one one was because the paint started coming off. It's still in the closet as a back up should the need arise.

Steel series. All their products are just good. No complaints and I've been buying them for years

Idk about elites, but I bought Pros due to the fact of the interchangeable battery. I haven't found any other headphones with this feature.

Arc Steel Series is another solid option. I have a wireless one I purchased for $100 two years ago and haven’t had a single problem. Crisp, clear audio and super comfortable too.

For that price they could’ve at least brought the optical port back. I still use my arctic pros for this sole reason when I watch tv in my room and want it to feel immersive, and also still be connected to my phone. They fumbled that imo

I've got the white arctis and it has been great so far. Great sound, comfortable and mic works well and retracts. Highly recommend
