SteelSeries has updated its range of award-winning headsets with three new models launched under the Arctis Pro umbrella. The trio arrive as high-end successors to the hugely popular Arctis 7 line, and with multiple flavours to choose from, pricing can vary considerably.

Fantastic sound quality; Excellent noise-cancelling mic; High level of comfort; Stylish understated design; Spare battery comes in handy

£300 price tag; Lacks official support for Xbox One

I say I say I say, what do you get if you cross the wireless control centre of the Steelseries Siberia 840, the headset design of the Steelseries Arctis 7 and boost the headset frequency response up to the levels one expects from HiFi options

Choosing headphones is a personal experience. With the exception of your mouse and keyboard, headphones are a peripheral you will physically touch, or wear, more than any other part of your gaming PC. But in this age of wireless being king, has it really improved

They sound great – really; really great; The boom mic is retractable so it won't get in the way; The boom mic sounds fantastic and does a great job with background noise; Setup is very easy
