As any good player knows, quality gaming requires some special tools, like crisp visuals, immersive sound and a good mic. But that sound can be a little much if you happen to live with someone else or have neighbors. That’s where gaming headsets come into play.
These headsets, which are specially designed to enhance the gaming experience, allow players to surround themselves in quality sound without disturbing everyone else. They also usually have built-in mic to allow players to talk to each other.
Got a gamer on your list? Well, today only, Amazon has slashed the price of the top-rated SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless Gaming Headset. You can get this quality headset for $240 (was $329). Is it an investment? Totally, but you get a lot for your money.
The SteelSeries Arctis Pro is the first in the gaming industry with the hi-res audio label, a certification platform introduced by the Digital Entertainment Group, The Recording Academy, record labels, and other audio groups in 2017 to promote devices that deliver top-notch sound. These ‘phones have a frequency range from 10 to 40,000 Hz to deliver quality sound at every level.
The headset uses dual-wireless technology to deliver 2.5G wireless, lossless audio. It also features Bluetooth connectivity for mobile devices, so you can easily make connections from the headset. The ClearCast microphone delivers top-notch voice clarity and background noise cancellation, so gamers can zero in on playing without worrying about distractions.
Despite all the features, the headset is lightweight, thanks to a steel and aluminum alloy construction.
