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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, more pros than cons.

I bought for work at home, I wanted to buy good headphones with a microphone that has noise cancellation. It turned out that finding such headphones is quite difficult, but the Arctics 5 suits me just fine. I considered many options, read / watched reviews, it was very difficult to choose. Everything changed when I saw a review in which there was a live microphone test, there different people in these headphones spoke into the microphone while in very noisy and crowded places (conferences, train stations, cafes). The effect was simply amazing, the words were clearly audible, the level of background noise was much lower. I used to use the Jabra EVOLVE 20 UC Stereo for a long time, my ears got tired about the same in them, but the microphone there is the most primitive, there is no noise reduction and the sound is very mediocre.

Pros
  • High-quality headphones with excellent microphone and attractive design. The microphone is retractable, there is a backlight with color and brightness adjustment. They sit comfortably on the head. The wire is long.
Cons
  • The price is high. The game/chat balance knob turns too easily, it gets in the way. The recesses under the ear are not deep enough, the ears rest slightly. It's hard for me to sit in these headphones for more than two hours, for games it's not very good. It's not that they put pressure on the head, they just don't press, but it's a little hot for the ears. Not the most convenient wire.

Has some pros Good build quality, good lighting, good microphone. Got cons: Distortion in sound - the left speaker is stronger than the right one. Because of this, discomfort arises.

Different pros: Everything is fine, but there is a question . With its cons. Why are the parts not in the same color?

Has some pros Sound. Good surround sound. Pleasantly kept on the head, the ears do not hurt after a long time working in them. The microphone works perfectly, the noise suppresses perfectly. Cons: Got a marriage. Over time, the left ear began to turn off, the balance goes astray every time you remove the headphones
