  • Great product and great seller
Size: Wired Style: Arctis 5
Ok, I will like to start with the seller: Arminius17bc Awesome job! Great customer service, super fast responses and follow up to make sure that I got my product on time and in good condition even thou that Amazon sent me the incorrect tracking number, the seller step up, send me the correct tracking number, very polite, very fast on contacting me and when I got the headset they immediately send me a message about it. Seller Score is 10/5. Couldn't be more satisfied with the seller. I'm really looking forward to do more business with them. Ok, now let's talk about the headset. IT'S AWESOME!! Ok, I have tried a lot of headsets in the past from Sony, Logitech, etc., etc., this headset within this budget of less than $100 is the best out there. Super comfortable, great build, very nice sound quality, I will use it for a lot of things like listening to music in the PC, gaming in the PS4, Audioconferencing in Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc. If you are looking for an over-ear headset for any of those things, you wont regret this one. Headset score 5/5 in sound quality, 5/5 in comfort. Oh, it has RGB, I didn't pay attention to that, when connected using the 3.5 mm it doesn't light up until you connect with the USB to the computer and then the RGB showed. It's a headset so I won't be seeing the RBG by myself so it really is a nice extra but not a must have in my opinion. ... show more

  • SteelSeries = Best of the Best
Size: Wired Style: Arctis 5
I don't write reviews often, and this pair of cans impressed me enough on day one to write one. I've been gaming for longer than I'd like to admit and have gone through countless headsets. Most have been adequate, some have been good and fewer have been great. The SteelSeries Arctis 5's (and I'm sure the other Arctis models) are on an entirely different level. The first thing I noticed was how extremely comfortable they are. I've been wearing them for several hours at the time of this review and I'm not experiencing any pressure points or irritation. The atypical and simple suspension system is great, and I can't believe more companies haven't caught on to this. Another thing is the size of the headset. Many gaming headsets have a ridiculous amount of added bulk to make them stand out or look cool. SteelSeries instead has opted to go with a more sleek minimalist approach and pull it off well. While I can't comment on the durability yet, the materials feel sturdy. Time will tell, but even the cheapest of headsets will last if you take care of them. Lastly the sound, and WOW do they sound great! Your experience may vary, instead of plugging these into a USB port I have them connected to an internal amplified soundcard (which makes mediocre headsets sound better than they should). All levels are crisp and clear, and I was pleasantly surprised with how much bass these produce. The only downside to being connected directly to the soundcard rather than a USB port is I don't get to play with the nifty lights on the sides. For those without a similar soundcard I'm not sure how these will sound, but I plan on doing some testing to compare the difference in sound. Also since I'm not using the USB connection, I don't have the chat mix dial connected so I can't comment on how well that works. That too will come in later tests and I'll provide additional feedback at that time. I'd say these are the best bang for your buck right now. More expensive headsets from other companies don't even compare to how comfortable these are nor to how great they sound. ... show more

  • After returning the Arctis 3, the Arctis 5 is very comfortable and stylish.
Size: Wired Style: Arctis 5
I'm writing this review bored in my quarantine. I had ordered the Arctis 3 a few weeks ago after countless hours of research done into headphones. I play PC Games roughly 2 hours per day, maybe less, and wanted a comfortable pair of headphones that made me sound okay when talking in games and Discord to my pals. I ordered the Arctis 3 because it seemed it was very similar in quality to the Arctis 5, without the RGB on the sides of the headphones. My Arctis 3 microphone stopped working about 30 minutes into me using them, and I had to return them for that reason. I was really upset because I spent so many hours researching, and they were very comfortable so I was upset I had to return them. I ordered a Logitech-brand headphones and disliked them from the get-go. The sound quality was fine, but the comfort (My #1 desire) was lacking immensely. I landed on the Arctis 5 because no other headphone offered the material on the ears that Arctis' do. I'm annoyed at SteelSeries for sending me a borderline faulty product at first, but the Arctis 5 is very comfortable, the RGB is neat I suppose, and the sound/mic quality seem fair. I'm not a headphone connoisseur by any means, but these bad boys are very comfortable and don't seem to bother my ears after hours of wear. 4/5 due to the Arctis 3 problem I had. ... show more

  • Nice gaming headset without being too bulky.
Size: Wired Style: Arctis 5
These are comfortable to wear for long periods of time even with glasses. I have a small head and didn’t even need to adjust the strap at all. They are not bulky and are lightweight. The foam is a little creaky when I move my head but it doesn’t seem to be in the joints and it doesn’t really bother me. My ears very slightly touch the fabric on the inside but it is so slight it’s barely noticeable. If you have ears that stick out a lot it might get uncomfortable. I think they sound pretty decent and the bass is nice. Not overpowering. The rgb is a nice touch. I have not played with the surround sound much so I can’t say anything about that. The sidetone is rather weak. The setting in the program doesn’t seem to do much and I have to control it with the Windows sidetone setting and I can barely hear my voice even with that setting all the way up. Mic works well and I like how it stows inside the earpiece. The dial for game or chat volume is very easily moved. Make sure you set it where it won’t get bumped. The adapter to be able to plug into my phone is also very nice. Overall I am very happy with this headset. ... show more
