Equipped for exceptional audio with 50mm graphene-coated drivers that delivers superior directional sound clarity. With its hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) and the dual-mic noise cancellation that captures only your voice, communication with your team during game time when it’s most essential is crystal clear.
Designed for comfort and focus, the soft memory-foam leatherette earcups reduce pressure, enhance sound isolation, and elevate sound quality, making them perfect for extended gaming sessions. But does this live up to its expectation and its pretty price tag? Stick around to find out.
What’s in the box?
Unboxing the Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Headset was an exciting experience, and the package comes with everything you need to get started. The first thing, of course, is the headset itself, which boasts a sleek and premium design. The detachable boom mic along with a mic shield is included to minimise wind noise and enhance vocal clarity. Making it perfect for when you’re out and about enjoying your music and don’t want to attract stares during your daily commute.
Alongside it is a USB-C wireless dongle, ensuring seamless connectivity with low latency. To add versatility, Alienware includes a USB-A to USB-C adapter, which is perfect for devices that lack USB-C ports. There’s also a USB-A to USB-C cable for charging or using the headset in a wired mode if necessary.
Feature packed
The Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Headset come packed with features designed to elevate your audio experience, especially for gaming enthusiasts. The 50mm graphene-coated drivers, engineered to deliver high-fidelity sound with exceptional clarity and depth, ensuring a truly immersive gaming experience. Whether it’s the faintest footsteps or the most explosive action sequences, the sound profile is finely tuned for gaming precision. To keep distractions at bay, active noise cancellation (ANC) effectively blocks out external noises, helping you stay focused on the game. Communication is equally impressive, thanks to a two-mic AI noise cancellation system. This advanced setup is trained to prioritise your voice, ensuring crystal-clear communication even in noisy environments.
Connectivity
The headphones offer versatile tri-mode connectivity, making them adaptable to a wide range of devices and usage scenarios. With 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, you get ultra-low latency performance, perfect for gaming without the hassle of cables. Bluetooth connectivity adds convenience, allowing seamless pairing with smartphones, tablets, and other compatible devices for on-the-go use. Additionally, the USB mode provides a reliable wired connection when you need uninterrupted audio or are running low on battery.
Battery Life
With a battery life of up over 70 hours via 2.4GHz connection, the Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Headset stays juiced, whether you’re powering through marathon gaming sessions or enjoying uninterrupted music when you’re out and about. In the event that you’ve run out of juice, a 15-minute rapid charging allows for up to 8 hours playback (ANC off).
Comfort
The tailored headband is carefully engineered to relieve pressure, ensuring your head stays comfortable even during marathon gaming sessions. Comfort is key during extended gaming sessions, and the Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Headset are designed to deliver just that. Coupled with the soft memory-foam leatherette earcups, the design takes comfort to the next level. These deeper earcups not only reduce pressure on your ears but also create a good seal that enhances sound isolation, immersing you fully in your game without distractions. Whether you’re playing for an hour or all night, these headphones are built to keep you comfortable throughout.
Customisation
Take full control of your audio experience with the latest version of Alienware Command Center (AWCC) paired with Dolby Atmos integration. The AWCC software allows you to fine-tune every aspect of your sound and headset preferences to match your gaming or entertainment needs.
With an intuitive EQ, you can customise the audio profile to suit different game genres, music styles, or personal preferences. The microphone noise cancellation settings let you adjust how much background noise is filtered, ensuring your voice comes through clearly. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) customisation adds another layer of control, enabling you to fine-tune how much external sound is blocked for maximum immersion or awareness.
Additional options like battery saver mode customisation allow you to optimise power usage, while side tone customisation lets you adjust how much of your voice you hear during communication, providing a more natural speaking experience. Combined with Dolby Atmos support, these features ensure spatial, lifelike sound that brings games, movies, and music to life, giving you an unparalleled personal audio experience.
Conclusion
Gaming for some is not ‘just a game’ and they demand the best for their sessions. With the Alienware Pro Headset, that’s exactly what they get. Superior comfort from it’s tailored headband and soft memory foam to the two-mic AI noise cancellation to make sure communication stays crystal clear, with it’s superb battery life. Especially versatile with the detachable mic boom mic that allows you to use these sleek headphones on your daily commute, outside your game sessions. The best part, at least for me, is how cool and clean it looks, although realistically you won’t be looking at it when you’re gaming.
