But frankly, most titles right now just don't offer it.Įspecially for you, PS4 gamers. With VR gaming becoming more common, the industry might catch up, making hi-res audio's ability to capture more "location" detail useful. You'll appreciate how good they sound with your standard gameplay soundtracks, but we're not talking orders of magnitude better performance here. Still, if you only game, you might not get much out of that incredible audio capacity. Now you can pick out every component of that sound and localize it. That applies to gaming, where there are a lot of different things going on. It feels like everything separates from each other, the instruments separate. "Having a great audio front end, it does some great things to the sound. "We’re not going after the bass-heavy gaming approach to sound," Fallon said. It's different than traditional all-bass, all-the-time gaming sound, but easy to get used to. The Arctis Pro has a sweet sound, a little more mid-range than most gaming sets, with crisp highs and almost too-precise bass. You'll swap back and forth and appreciate the solid performance in both arenas. If you use one set of cans to listen to really high-quality music (Tidal, for example, or other high-fidelity services, or your own recordings, or ripped vinyl or CDs) and play games, yes.
Most gamers, I suspect, will spend more time listening to the Arctic Pro line with hi-res sound turned off than on. Using the wireless version of the headset, which is limited by the bandwidth of its dual 2.4Ghz/Bluetooth connection? Not hi-res. Hi-res audio comes with some interesting caveats.
"You could go buy a nice DAC and hook it up to a gaming environment, but you’d be missing some gaming-focused features," including that chat/gaming sound mix, says SteelSeries audio product manager Brian Fallon.įor even more control while on a PC, the Arctis Pro will use the SteelSeries Engine, which among other things will allow you to tune its classy colored-LED loops on the ear cups to blink in time with your other SteelSeries gear.
