The volume knob on the headset also is the same volume as the transmitter, unlike the wired model, and avoids any confusion. The transmitter also features an OLED display which can show the status of the batteries, volume, and more. The transmitter is 2.4 GHz, which might be an issue in some locations, but it’s lower latency than the Bluetooth connection. It, like the wired model, appears as two separate audio sinks in Windows, so you can mix your game and chat levels as necessary. If you’re on a PC, the best way to use the Arctis Pro Wireless is with the transmitter base station connected over USB. One of the coolest features is that you can listen to both the Bluetooth and the wireless audio at the same time, so you can stream your phone to your headset, use it to answer calls, and all the while be listening to audio from your PC or PS4. For Bluetooth, the Arctis Pro Wireless offers Bluetooth 4.1 with A2DP, HFP, and HSP profiles. Finally, the headset also features a Bluetooth connection to pair with practically any mobile device. You can also just connect a 3.5 mmm right to the headset if necessary. The headset itself also features the same proprietary cable connector as the Arctis Pro, and it ships with an adapter to 3.5 mm to you can connect directly to the headphones to avoid wireless altogether. The transmitter base station offers USB input, optical input and output, and 3.5 mm input and output. SteelSeries offers plenty of choices for connection as well. While it’s the same externally, and carries the same drivers, the Wireless model doesn’t share the amazing DAC as the wired model, since the audio has to be transmitted to the headset digitally, so a DAC has to be built-in, and it’s not the ESS Sabre 9018. But, it has enough of its own features that it really brings its own take on the design. Other than those changes, from a design standpoint, the Arctis Pro Wireless is identical to its wired model, with same speaker drivers with a 10 Hz to 40 Khz range, and the same ClearCast microphone.
It adds buttons on the right speaker to turn on the set, and pair it with Bluetooth, and the right speaker cover is now a battery cover.
From a design standpoint, it loses the RGB LED lighting that the wired model offers, to prolong the battery life.
Since we’ve already gone over the wired model, there’s less to say with the wireless version, since it’s almost an identical design, but with wireless capabilities.
