I've been looking for a pair of wireless headphones for some time now and have tried most of high end sets like the Bose 700s and Sony XM4s. The main reason I returned them all was that I found them to become uncomfortable fairly quickly, specifically headband pressure on the top of my head. They also had latency issues when connecting to my PC which made watching videos a bit rubbish.

I'm considering getting the Arctic Pro Wireless headset because although its marketed as a gaming headset and my use will be fairly general (music, movies etc) it looks as though it doesn't suffer from latency issues and I can use them with my phone/tablet via bluetooth (albeit only one codec).

I was hoping some owners might be able to tell how they've found them regarding comfort, sound quality etc?

Thanks
 
I have a pair - upgraded from a pair of HyperX Cloud 2.

Sound quality is great for gaming, I can pinpoint directional sounds (e.g. footsteps in PUBG) with far more accuracy than the HyperX, and they are decent enough for music/video etc. Probably nowhere near a decent set of dedicated music headphones, but pretty good as far as a "gaming" headset goes.

They aren't as comfortable as the HyperX - they're not necessarily uncomfortable, but I do find I need to adjust them occasionally.
 
I had the 5 and my main issue was the earcup depth as they're very shallow and can rub - not sure whether recent versions are better.
