GBNone existent support Just wanted to share my recent ordeal with the SteelSeries Arctis Pro headset. Honestly, it's been a bit of a nightmare. The left earbud keeps lowering its volume and then it just cuts out entirely - not to mention this annoying beeping noise that comes and goes. I reached out to SteelSeries support hoping for a quick fix or maybe a replacement, but my ticket got auto-closed without any real help. It’s super frustrating not having a working headset and dealing with support that just doesn’t seem to care. For a headset that cost this much, I expected way better, both in product quality and customer service. If you’re considering the Arctis Pro, you might want to think twice unless you want to gamble with potential issues and lackluster support.

GBQuick and efficient I've used the customer support at SteelSeries twice over the last month. While the products I am using have some goofy features to them (you HAVE to use their software), the customer support has been great. Always getting responded to promptly. I used them with questions regarding my order, and why certain features aren't working. Or weren't. They are now!

GBclean keyboard(easy fingerprints) I bought a keyboard from steelseries, not gonna lie it is a very comfortable experience typing on it, im typing on it now! the keyboard looks really clean when plugged and acts too dim when not active(-0.5), although it has beautiful features such as a volume scroll and a random button i forgot about, but it looks good, especially for what i need, last 2 things is the £60 price(-0.2) a little overpriced for its looks but not that much of a deal, and finally the fingerprint issues(-0.3) this annoys me more than the price and is annoying to clean, but its worth it since im not too lazy gaming yet. Overall a beautiful company with a good app. Just maybe more added to the app will help me a lot.

DKThe ol' runaround Don't bother trying to get Steelseries themselves to back their own products. If you can't resolve any issues related to purchased products with the retailer, you're screwed. Steelseries support made me jump through countless hoops with the promise that they would replace a Sensei Ten mouse which developed a defect within three months of purchase. After successfully completing all the steps, including uploading a valid proof of purchase, clear photos of the product from every imaginable angle etc., they just left me hanging for over a year, never once restocking their own product so I could actually get a replacement, until it finally got discontinued, at which point they simply closed my already approved RMA ticket without further comment. Ultimately I ended up getting my replacement from the retailer, who were being difficult at first (which is what prompted me to try my luck with Steelseries directly), but at the end of the day still nowhere near as difficult as the manufacturer. Thankfully we do have consumer protection laws in place here. I would not purchase another Steelseries product if that wasn't the case.

GBShort Shelf Life with Biggest Purchase I've had a number of headsets from SteelSeries in the past which I have enjoyed, but sadly my most recent has been disappointing. The Arctis Pro, which is close to their top of the line, seems to have a weak connection between the headband and the earpieces as the plastic cracked and caused the right earpiece to completely detach after ~8-10 months of use. I have had to hold it together since with hot glue as I consider what to replace it with.
