Great sound even just out of the box without the need for 7.1 drivers having been installed; with said drivers installed it's got a fantastic sound quality for what it is[a headset].

-Amazing 7.1 sound drivers with nice highs mids and lows; great bass, -The option to make chat programs louder while turning down game/music volume[vice versa] with the chatmix, -Has a nice feel on the head, fairly lightweight not as much strain on the neck and shoulders, -Microphone has a lot of...

-Microphone does not have enough input volume and is generally quiet; -Price point for this product is kind of not worth just a decent pair of headphones minus microphone; -Drivers only seem to really affect the 7.1 surround sound; -Since the headset is USB again the microphone input volume seems to...

Arctis 5 takes part of the latest SteelSeries series of gaming headsets and incorporates 7.1 surround sound thanks to the DTX Headphone:X technology. The unit is available in both black and white colors, does pack configurable RGB lighting out the outside cup area and also adds a new level of...

it's so good, works perfectly, and I love the RGB lighting.

The SteelSeries Arctis 5 is a great gaming headset, chock-full of useful features, and carefully tuned to sound as accurate as possible instead of just focusing on the bass. Thanks to that, it's great for playing games on a high level and just as good for listening to music, both at home and on the...

Looks great. Works great. Cannot fault this product.

If you're in the market for a gaming headset and have found the market is flooded with so many variants and brands? Or perhaps have become accustomed to a specific brand but want something a bit more refined in some ways… may I bend your ear and introduce you to SteelSeries' new line of Arctis...

Comfortable and light weight; Great overall audio performance; Mic upgrade sets the bar for headsets; Mic and volume control on headset is convenient

Expected a more robust build at its price point; 7.1 virtual surround could be better

SteelSeries has developed a reputation as makers of pretty high-end hardware. At least, this was the impression I'd held onto since I first heard their name many years ago. Until now, I'd never had the chance to properly test this assumption.

High level of functionality; Flexible in their range of usability; Super stylish in design

Sleek design feels fragile; White hardware just cannot stay clean; Certain functions locked behind updates

So not only am I impressed with the headset itself and would highly recommend it, but also, the delivery and condition of both the product and box is perfect. Definitely worth buying if you're either thinking to upgrade or as first time buy in which case it might be your last.

The sound really comes to life, I enjoy listening to spotify whilst playing my favourite ps4 games and the Mic sounds awesome. My wife never knows when my headphones are on either because there isnt any residual sound.

A comfortable gaming headset for the price, if you are looking for surround sound spend more money on something with more drivers.

This headset works great for long gaming sessions, the chat mix feature is great to mix game and chat volumes; Lots of accessories too, replacement cords, different ear muffs and bands can be found online which is nice

The surround sound is mostly a gimmick and I prefer it off
