Arctis|5 Headset from steelseries is awesome! They ROCK!



The ARCTIS|5 headset from steelseries is by far one of the best headsets I have ever bought.

Score: 9 out of 10
Some of the features:
S1 Speaker Drivers + DTS Headphone X
The same speaker drivers found in their flagship $300 headsets, the S1 drivers are engineered to deliver a detailed, balanced soundscape with ultra-low distortion. 


ClearCast Microphone
The ClearCast microphone uses an exclusive bidirectional design delivering good vocal clarity and background noise cancellation.

Ski Goggle Headband
The adjustable elastic fabric helps support the cans across your head, evenly distributing the weight, eliminating pressure points.

AirWeave Ear Cushions
Inspired by fabrics found in athletic clothing, the incredibly soft AirWeave ear cushions keep you cool, dry, and comfy for hours of gaming.

Compatibility:
Works great on my PC, Phone and XBox One. 


Unboxing was easy and presentation was top notch.  

Comes with USB connector and Cellphone/Console adapter which has one of the best features I've encountered with its breakaway cable allowing you the flexibility to unplug and switch.  I use the headset so much and the connector is well built and has never been a problem connecting and disconnecting.

Build material is solid and comfortable.  Design is well thought out and features are there that make sense and add to the overall value of the headset.

Sound.  Sound is great the bass response is good and the highs are clear and crisp.  Wish the bass was just a tad bit lower but for the money it is completely fine.


Using with the Xbox One worked like a champ and the sound was clear and I decided the only way to game is with a headset.  I was able to hear my enemies in full surround and it makes a HUGE difference. 

When plugged into the USB the LEDs light up and you can program different light styles.  I have also added in some morale patches on my headsets to add a little extra pizzazz. 

Configuration of the headset settings is pretty straight forward and intuitive.

This is a close up of the cable.  You can see how it disconnects from the cellphone/console adapter.  I pull it and then plug into the USB controller.  

Fort a sub $100 headphones these are Angry Jackalope Approved.
