ARCTIS PRO WIRELESS

History showed us that gaming headsets rarely looked good and sounded
worse, so we made Arctis and put all other headsets on notice. Next, the
audiophiles said that a gaming headset could never stand up to dedicated
headphones, so we made Arctis Pro and changed the game.

Like you, we are esports pros, pubstars, 5am raiders, 1hp heroes, streamers
and dreamers. Your Arctis Pro was forged out of our belief that gaming isn’t
your way to escape reality, it’s your path to rewrite it.
