Redragon Arrow Pro H858 Review: A Comfortable Wireless Headset for Gaming and Movies

The Redragon Arrow Pro H858 is a wireless gaming headset with 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connections, wired audio, virtual 7.1 surround sound, and a detachable microphone. I’ve used it for music, games, and movies, and the first thing that stood out was how comfortable it feels. The sound is fine for music, but I enjoyed the headset more with a game or movie and 7.1 enabled.

Comfortable Ear Cushions and Headband

The ear cushions are made from a very soft material. I wore the headset for at least an hour without discomfort, and the padded top of the headband felt comfortable too. That makes a good first impression for a headset you might wear through a gaming session or a movie.

The earcups have a hard outer shell, but the finish feels smooth and slightly rubberized rather than like glossy plastic. I can’t confirm the exact material, but it feels pleasant to handle and gives the headset a more refined feel than bare, shiny plastic.

Games and Movies Are Where I Preferred the Sound

For music, the H858 sounds fine. It does the job, but music wasn’t where I noticed its strongest point.

I preferred it for games and movies with 7.1 surround enabled. The extra spatial effect makes those kinds of audio more engaging, especially when you’re listening to sound effects and atmosphere rather than just music. Redragon lists 53 mm drivers and virtual 7.1 surround sound as part of the H858’s feature set.

Wireless and Wired Listening

I tested both the 2.4 GHz wireless connection and Bluetooth, and both worked as expected. The headset also includes a USB-A to USB-C cable and a USB-C to 3.5 mm audio cable, so there’s a wired option as well.

As with any headset, the connection can affect the audio experience. Wired listening will generally give you the best audio quality, while Bluetooth is convenient and has improved considerably over the years. The 2.4 GHz connection is a useful wireless option for gaming.

The Microphone Detaches

The boom microphone can be removed when you don’t need it. That’s useful if you want to use the headset for a movie or music without having the mic sitting beside your face. The controls and connections are all on the headset. There’s a power button for turning the wireless headset on and off, a microphone button, and volume up and down controls. A selector switches between Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless modes, and there’s a separate control for 7.1 mode. The headset also has a USB-C port and a jack for the detachable microphone. When you remove the mic, a small rubber cover keeps the unused connection covered.

Final Thoughts

The Arrow Pro H858 has made a good impression on me so far. It’s comfortable, the ear cushions are especially soft, and the padded headband helps it sit comfortably. Music sounds fine, while games and movies are where I enjoyed the 7.1 surround mode most.

I also tested both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, and they worked as expected. The included cables add a wired option, and the detachable boom mic is convenient when you don’t need it.

If you’re looking for a comfortable headset for gaming and movies, the H858 has several useful features and performed well in the areas I tried. If music is your main priority, the sound is fine, but its surround mode and gaming-focused features are what make it more interesting to me.
