Arctis 5 Gaming Headset - RGB Illumination - DTS Headphone: X v2.0 Surround for PC and PlayStation 5, PS4 - Black

These SteelSeries headphones are of brilliant quality. I originally had a really cheap unbranded pair I'd wear when watching my boyfriend play games a few years ago, and ever since I got into gaming myself, I never upgraded. The audio of that pair now cuts out whenever the wire moved, so I was in need of a proper gaming headset! Off the bat, you can definitely tell the difference, which I did have to get used to because it was new and strange to me. I did have them plugged into the headphone jack to start with (with an extention I used for my old pair as the cable is quite short), but I noticed this didn't allow the LED lights around each headphone to light up. I plugged them into the USB connector in the back of my computer and downloaded the SteelSeries Engine and the audio, again, improved immensely! You get a sense of surround sound, which is great when playing games where you need to be aware of your surroundings (my go-to games being Dead by Daylight and Apex Legends, so this is perfect). Using the USB connection, means you also have to have the ChatMix dial connected. I haven't used this feature, but basically you can change the chat/game audio ratio mid game without having to minimise, so it is handy. The real test was if they would be comfortable because I wear glasses - they certainly are! There's no pushing or clamping on my ears or glasses frames, which I got from my last pair. There's a head strap that can be adjusted which is also comfortable on the top of the head. If you were to start headbanging or something, these will fall off because they just sit nicely on the head with no tightness really. The mic can be pulled out and pushed back in when not in use. I'm not sure how this wire will hold up because it seems quite flimsy. It's a little annoying (you'll want to pull it out before you're connected to Discord etc or while you're on mute) as I'm used to just lifting the mic up and down from the left side of the headset, although, I understand the design so it's out the way. It has a red LED when it's on mute which again is a little annoying because when it's not in use I like to always have it on mute, but I can obviously see why that is a feature. I've been told compared to my old pair, my mic is so much clearer and crisp, so that's a plus! On the back left headphone, you have the mute button for the mic, as well as a wheel for the volume. When I first started using these, I would always wonder why the audio got so quiet. It was because when I picked them up from my desk, my thumb would knock the wheel! Since I realised, I try to avoid putting my thumb near the settings when putting them on, but I'll also push up on the wheel when they're on just to make sure it's on max. The headphones twist, so if you take of them off and put them round your neck, they can sit comfortably. I don't ever do this, so when I pick one side of the headphones up, it always rotates. Overall, if you're looking for a comfortable headset for glasses, these are definitely an option and the sound quality is amazing. I recommend downloading SteelSeries Engine for customisation such as the LED colour and all things sound related.

Yes, there are cheaper ones, but the difference between those and these in terms of build quality, sound quality, and design, is phenomenal. The comfort factor is also off the scale, as they are light enough to have very little presence where weight is concerned, and the fine sponge style ear cups seem to rest on your head rather than gripping it. I really liked the mic design as well, which slides easily back into the left ear cup when not in use and can also be bent and adjusted to wherever you need it when extended. It also provided perfect audio quality when gaming as a friend of mine uses these too. I was lucky enough to get mine for £25 on a warehouse deal two years ago, but would happily have paid the £50 they cost now had I known how good they were going to be.

I got these as a recommendation from some glass-wearing friends. My head is small (I'm petite and a female, I have the whole combo) and on top of that I'm prone to having headaches and I wear glasses. This means that I've never managed to wear a headset for over an hour without having a massive headache that usually lasts 2-3 hours. Ever since the lockdown started (I'm in UK) I've had to attend meetings and lectures online which meant I would be using a headset for over 4-5 hours a day, so it was URGENT to get a proper headset and this does it. I have been wearing it and the ski-type headband is the best idea I've ever seen. I can feel how the weight is nicely distributed and the padding on the cups is the perfect amount for me. It doesn't press too much against my glasses and even though I need to do some tiny adjustment from time to time, I am overall happy and have not suffered from a single headache since I started using them (amazing). Sound-wise, I am a bass-head and I normally would listen to music through my SkullCandy Crushers with bass enhancement, so this ones being more real, pure sound, do sound weird to me, not in a bad way but simply different. However, the sound is quite involving thanks to the virtual 7.1 sound system so if you're not a sound purist (or if you just wanna hear the music / sound of your game sharply, these will do nicely. I do like the pick-up range of the mic, because it will pick up my voice even if I decide to mutter, but it won't pick up other loud noises occurring nearby such as strikes of my mechanic keyboard (which is quite loud) nor my dog barking next to me (as long as it is not a very loud bark). My classmates have reported to hear me sharply and comfortably. The Game-Chat system seems a bit pointless to me but just because I don't give it much use (I prefer single-player games where chatting ain't that important and I usually don't speak while playing), so I cannot say much about it. I would like it to have a longer Jack 3.5 cable extension as it is surprisingly shorter than the USB one, and I dislike having such a short cable wondering around. Losing this bit will probably be unavoidable long term if you're slightly messy as am I. The external design of the headset has me mesmerized. The feeling is sturdy even though it's plastic, but also smooth and the matte finish makes it look elegant while still having a nice gaming touch with those RGB circles. There are buttons on the left ear cup, but as I have disappointingly realised, the mute unmute button does not sync with Zoom (it doesn't even recognize it as a key if you try and modify it from settings). I haven't tried it with discord yet though. The other thing that could be nice is an option to turn the RGB off if you feel like it, but this is not vital and I don't even have a huge preference for it, but it would be nice to have the option anyways. The little wheel below the mute button on the left ear cup is smooth, but doesn't run on her own. It regulates the volume as well as the Game-Chat wheel that comes attached to the USB connection cable. The wheel itself feels a bit more plasticky than the rest of the set, but it runs smooth, although a tad too smoothly imo, I've accidentally lowered the voice because the cable moved and I touched it with my arm. Last comment: the retractable mic is comfortable, but I am sceptical and I feel it a tad soft, making me think that maybe I would not fiddle too much with it if I want it to last long. I hope that time proves me wrong! Overall, I recommend this, particularly, if you have issues with headsets due to glasses or due to pressure feeling on the top of your head because of the weight of it. I also recommend it if you look for a nice involving sound that it is not too bass deep.

Ho comprato queste cuffia nella speranza di trovare un prodotto che dopo 1h di utilizzo stancasse l'utilizzatore. Ci sono migliaia dj cuffie anche a da 300€ che non riescono a garantirti questa performance. Invece (e finalmente) queste cuffie fanno il loro lavoro, con stile e qualità ma soprattutto le puoi tenere per tante e tante ore (8h di seduta studio/gioco e non mi ha mai pesato sulle ore ch). Il motivo è perché ha una buon elastico che su poggia sulla testa così da spostare tutto il peso della cuffia al centro della testa (molto leggere nonostante gli RGB). A 3 settimane dall'utilizzo sono molto soddisfatto

السماعة ممتازة وراح اقيمها من عدة نواحي اول شي هي مخصصة للبي سي ولكن استخدامي كان على البلايستيشن 5 وكل شي فيها تمام انا شبكتها عن طريق USB واشتغلت انارة RGB الموجودة على الطرفين اما عن الميكسر ما جربته من ناحية الشات واللعبة مع بعض ولكن اذا حركته وهو على واحد منهم بس يقصر ويطول على الصوت فقط من ناحية الاكسسوارات الوسائد من قماش مريح للاستخدام الطويل ، ولكن شي طبيعي انك بتعرق ولكن تعريق خفيف ولا بتلاحظه الا اذا شلت السماعة من ناحية المقاس فلا تخاف الربل الموجود فوق راح يناسب راسك من ناحية الاسلاك فهي تجي مع سلكين قابلين للفصل اول واحد هو سلك السماعة وهو سلك منفذه غريب ما ادري شنو هو خامته ليست متينة ولكن جيدة تعتبر مثل اسلاك جوالات الاندرويد اللي تجي كأنها سيليكون واذا انقطع تقدر تلاقيه في المواقع الشرائية هذا السلك يطلع من السماعة اما انك تشبكه بالميكسر وتشبك الميكسر عن طريق usb او انك تشبكه في التحويلة اللي تجي معه اللي هي من المنفذ الغريب حق السماعة الى AUX وتشبكه بعدها في الجولات او كنترولر البلايستيشن ولكن ما اتوقع بيشتغل معك RGB ولكن هذا مب مهم والسلك مب طويل ولا قصير مناسب اذا الشي اللي بتشبكه فيه بين يدك عشان ما يضايقك ولكن اذا شبكته في الميكسر قد يوصل معك الى 3 امتار والسماعة ما يحتاج لها تحديث اذا بتشبكها على البلايستيشن ولكن تقدر تتحكم باللي تبي مثل انارة RGB او الصوت عن طريق تطبيقهم الموجود على ويندوز وماكنتوش والتحميل من موقعهم اما من ناحية المايك فهو ليس الافضل بطبيعة الحال ولكن جدًا مناسب بالنسبة لسعرها وتقدر تشوف الصوت عليه في اليوتيوب واذا تدور افضل جودة مايك حط في بالك انه ما راح يكون مايك سماعة بل بيكون منفصل اما من ناحية الصوت فهو ممتاز حتى انك تقدر تجربه من فيديوهات اليوتيوب فقط اكتب 7.1 test ويطلع فيديوهات كثيرة وجربته على سبايدر مان مايلز موراليس والتجربة كانت ممتعة

Realmente confortável, qualidade de som e áudio aprovado por minha sobrinha que ficou muito feliz...Recomendo!

Ich habe das SteelSeries Arctis 5 Gaming-Headset seit 2019 getestet. Nun möchte ich meine Erfahrungen mit euch teilen! Hier sind einige Gründe, warum ich dieses Headset nur empfehlen kann: Klangqualität: Das wichtigste: Die Klangqualität. Das Headset liefert eine unglaubliche Audioqualität. Ob beim Spielen, Musik hören oder Filme schauen – der Klang ist stets klar, detailreich und immersiv. Besonders bei Games wie Rainbow Six oder PUBG ist die räumliche Ortung hervorragend. Tragekomfort: Das Arctis 5 ist eines der bequemsten Headsets, die ich je getragen habe. Dank des Kopfbandes und der Ohrpolster kann ich stundenlang spielen, ohne dass das Headset unangenehm wird. Es sitzt perfekt und drückt nicht, selbst bei längeren Gaming-Sessions. Design und RGB-Beleuchtung: Mir persönlich gefällt das Design wirklich sehr, sehr gut. Es ist schlicht, minimalistisch und modern. Die RGB-Beleuchtung an den Ohrmuscheln verleiht dem Headset ein wirklich stimmiges Gesamtpaket! Man kann die Beleuchtung über die interne App steuern und individuell anpassen. Mikrofon: Das Mikrofon des Arctis 5 ist gut, allerdings auch nichts besonderes. Natürlich kommt es nicht an die Audioqualität eines bspw. RODE NT-USB heran. Die Sprachqualität reicht allerdings für Game-Voicechats oder Discord. Hintergrundgeräusche werden effektiv unterdrückt. Die integrierte Mute-Funktion finde ich super! Insgesamt bin ich extrem zufrieden mit dem SteelSeries Arctis 5. Wunderbare Klangqualität, ein hohen Tragekomfort, ein sehr ansprechendes Design und eine Mikrofonleistung, die in dieser Preiskategorie "in Ordnung" ist. Trotzdem eine klare Empfehlung!

Ich nutze das Headset am PC meist zum Zocken und für Voicechats. Die Verarbeitung ist spitze. Das Headset ist federleicht. Es sitzt stabil aber dennoch locker, sodass man auch nach Stunden keinen Druck auf den Ohren verspürt. Die Ohrmuscheln umschließen die Ohren sauber und mit genügend Platz. Der verwendete Schaum ist Atmungsaktiv, sodas ich auch nach Stunden keine heißen oder schwitzigen Ohren habe. Das Mikrofon lässt sich sauber in bzw. aus der linken Ohrmuschel ziehen, sodass es nicht stört falls es nicht benötigt wird. U+2714 Pros - sehr saubere Verarbeitung - spitzen Ohrmuscheln welche sich frei drehen lassen und atmungsaktiv sind - federleichtes Gewicht - auf für große Köpfe gut geeignet - gute Soundqualität für das preisliche Segment U+274C Cons - bei der Console Version benötigt man für den PC zwingend einen Y-Adapter welcher nicht beiliegt - man sieht sofort Fingerabdrücke auf dem schwarzen Kunststoff - das Mikrofon musste in den Windows-Einstellungen stark geboostet werden, ist aber dann auch sehr gut - wenig Tiefen/Bass - keine Möglichkeit zur Einstellung mittels Steelseries Software Insgesamt eine klare Kaufempfehlung, da das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis einfach passt! Meiner Meinung nach mit das beste Headset im günstigen Segment was den Komfort angeht!
