The SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless are great for wireless gaming. They sound great, can be used with a console and mobile device at the same time, have an excellent mic that filters a lot of noise, and are very comfortable. They also have low non-Bluetooth wireless latency. Like most gaming headphones, they also have poor noise isolation but shouldn’t be a problem if you game in a quiet room. That said, they have a unique and convenient battery charging system, and are likely to keep up with even your most intense gaming sessions.

The Arctis Pro Wireless is easier to recommend in 2018 than its aging Siberia 800 predecessor, but its charging system feels less useful than it once did and the audio isn’t much better than the much cheaper Arctis 7.
