Pros and cons

7.1 surround sound only works on PC.

Description

Opponents sneaking around in Call of Duty won't surprise you anymore with the SteelSeries Arctis Prime Wired Gaming Headset. The 7.1 surround sound ensures you can identify each sound precisely, so you can react to it with the blink of an eye. As a result, you're the one who surprises the enemy sniper instead of the other way around. The closed ear cushions provide passive noise canceling, so noises from the outside world are kept to a minimum. Not using the microphone during gaming? Fold it in, so it doesn't get in the way when you take a sip.

Note: 7.1 surround sound only works on PC.

AFTER

I bought this product as a Second Chance and I am very satisfied with it.

First of all, it doesn't look like the "gaming" headset we're used to from other brands with sharp, futuristic angles and lighting. The shapes are neutral and can therefore be taken outside as a headset for an Ipod, but it comes into its own on your phone since the microphone actually works for making phone calls.

The GameDac that comes with this model I had to check with an acquaintance who is in the top class audio equipment and he also mentioned that the ESS Saber 9018 is one of the top DACs for the consumer market which is only topped by the Pro "audiophile". " potato chips.

Connecting was even easier than expected, drivers did not actually have to be installed and the headset (with DAC) already worked out of the box. You do have to set your windows sound settings to 24-bit 96Khz to get the most out of the Hi-Res Audio setting.

After I connected the set to my PC via the USB cable, I also connected the optical cable to my PS4. (Of course the USB connection provides the power supply)

Because I have the USB connection on my PS and optical cable on the PS4 I can freely switch between "input", but when I put the input on PS4 I can use the audio MIX setting to switch between PS4 and PC "blend" where I want to have the audio of both at the same level, or hear one of the 2 sources in the foreground and the other in the background (or completely off). Perfect setup if you want to quickly switch between PC and PS4.

The microphone is retractable into the left judgment, it also features a customizable LED that changes color when the mute button on the back of the earcup is turned on or off. under that knob is also a separate volume control. At the time of writing I keep the volume on the DAC at -10 (minimum is "infinite" which is just below -55 and max is 0) and I keep the volume control on the headset itself but this sometimes still hurts to my ears, so I think I'll eventually get to -15 to -20 to protect my hearing a bit.

Also included is a "microphone windscreen" which is a nicer word for a foam rubber sleeve that fits around the Mic, so that less noise comes through when you breathe on it, for example. The LED colors are less noticeable but are still clearly visible.

All in all, I'm really excited about this headset.

Top all usage and comfort

Super quality, also at a higher level of BD amplification
Pleasant to wear but not so strong and noise reduction
Perfect for big ears in case someone was wondering
More combinations with wiring such as seberia series if included, this is missing

I have 3 headsets, music+gaming with 100% noisered.+ This one. This one is top notch for all sorts of things. I can almost say that this one replaces my other 2. A real winner!

Very comfortable headset, with a beautiful design. Sound quality is good once you set it up with the equalizer. DTS adds little to me.
