Review on Upgrade Your Gaming Experience with SteelSeries Arctis 5 - RGB Headset for PC and PlayStation 4 - White [2019 Edition] by Kenji Viray Tsuchida ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Well packaged. Included: A usb-a wire with OWN (This is important. Not micro and not mini usb, something in between.) connector and chat mix twist on the other end (which, as I said above, stopped working for me in the fifth month of use. I don't know how to fix it) Male-male wire for connection (which, by the way, due to the different shape of the gum itself, cannot be connected to the wrong socket) Adapter from (?) to 3.5 jack (which I managed to peel off by some miracle, but not much. Muculature. I've been wearing these headphones for 5 months now. Every day, sometimes for 12+ hours. Ears, if they sweat, do not sweat much. The sound is good, I would even say perfect, but there is nothing to compare it with. The microphone is average, but it is more than enough for me. I am satisfied with the purchase, I was looking for a white minimalist headset for relatively little money. Got what I wanted.

Pros
  • Pleasant and minimalistic design, quite comfortable construction (and almost complete lack of weight of the headset on the head), a physical microphone mute button, as well as a light indication of this. Simple and convenient software, a large selection of settings. There are 3.5 on the headphones themselves
Cons
  • The main complaint is the microphone. The mesh gets dirty very quickly, and the retractable mechanism itself feels flimsy. Also, a small minus can be called an elastic band on the head, or rather the fact that it is embossed. Small specks or hair collects with a bang. The sound balance in the chat mix stopped working for me, I can only drown out both the game and the interlocutors completely.

Its pros: They sit pleasantly on a rather large head, pleasant sounding of music and games. Microphone sounds good, no extra noise Some cons: When you turn on 7.1, people on streams and in discord sound unpleasant, like in a pipe

Got pros: Chat/game balance adjustment is fine, normal sound for a gaming headset, good, comfortable microphone Has some cons A four-pin 3.5mm connector, but for a PC, the main way is still a USB connection.

Has some pros The sound is great. Connected to the audio card, it became even better. Its cons: The volume control already on 3 headphones fails. When scrolling, the volume in different ears is different. Disappointed in quality.
