SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC Gaming Headset - Certified Hi-Res Audio System for PS4 and PC

Q: Are the Arctis Pro headsets loud?

I currently own three pair of steel series headphones including the arctic pro with game DAC. I have owned probably 15 different sets of mid-high end headphones. The Steel series arctic pro with game DAC are louder than most Xbox/PlayStation compatible headsets. However, you will never get the full potential out of any headset without using a PC. For whatever reason, Microsoft and Sony use weak soundcards and/or intentionally dampen volume. For example, I own a $300 pair of Xbox-compatible Astro A50s that only produce maybe 20% of the volume When connected To the Xbox versus the same pair Connected to a PC using standard realtek audio drivers.

Q: I have read that the wired with audio dac sounds better than the wireless. Can anyone confirm?

I have both the wireless and the wired GameDAC. Wireless tops at 24bit 48Khz (using the optical input in PS5/PS4 mode) and wired reaches 24bit 96Khz with USB or Optical. However there are no games with sound at 24bit 96Khz because the sound files would make the game size ginormous. So unless you have a source of HD audio (Amazon HD, Tidal, Qbuz, etc.), there is no way to hear the difference between wireless and wired. Even then a lot of people is not able to really notice the difference between 24 bit 48Khz and 96Khz. I can CLEARLY hear it, but not everyone does. My wife thinks I'm crazy when I tell here I hear a difference. :D

Q: How long is the cable? How far does it reach?

The cable that goes from the headset to the DAC is about 5-5.25 feet/1.5-1.6 meters and the USB cable from the DAC to your PC should be the same length. I tried purchasing an extended cable based on the original answer to this question and it arrived with the headset and it was the same length as the cable in the headset. Steelseries does sell an extended-length cable that runs from headset to DAC that is at least double the length of the original cable.
