rarely ever works properly very frustrating sounds like robot

Very comfortable, I use them on my Xbox One. I like that the jack is at 90 degrees. It does require the Xbox One adapter for adjusting the chat and game volume.

I use these when I fly DCS flight simulator, the sound is great and the microphone is outstanding for recording during a streaming session. I am a novice gamer so I may not know all the technical jargon that goes into a top rated gaming headset but I know what I like, and I like this headset.

It's a cool headset with the LEDs but if you have to spend 5 minutes adjusting the cable everyone you use it so that sound comes out the right side then it's quite disappointing

The Arctis 5 offers great sound that you can fine-tune to your liking, a comfortable design and an impressive mic at a reasonable price.

Extremely comfortable; Sleek aesthetics; Great audio; Sensible software

So-so surround sound; Long; convoluted cables

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...

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

The microphone has stopped workinh after 3 weeks

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.

If you've been looking for a new headset and want something that advances the category forward in new and exciting ways, . That said, I can only imagine how much better the next Arctis update will be once the company irons out the kinks and streamlines everything to a T.
