    It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

    The headset is pleasant, suitable for games and communication: the microphone is retractable, it has an indicator showing whether it is on or not, which is regulated by a special button on the left cup, the sound is clear enough, you can adjust the noise reduction level in the software. You can also enable a feature in the software that allows the user to hear what the microphone picks up, primarily the voice, and you can also adjust the volume at which the headphones will play these sounds…

    Pros
    • The headphones sit well on the head, thanks to the mechanism for attaching the cups to the headband, they will turn to the shape of the head to fit as tightly as possible. Headphone pressure is felt at first, but you quickly get used to it. The ear pads are made of fabric that will definitely not peel off, as happens with leatherette ear pads. Their shape is quite standard, so if necessary, it will not be difficult to choose a replacement, I think. The speakers are covered with a fabric mesh, my ears do not touch them (I think this can only threaten those whose ears protrude very much). The headband is covered with pleasant to the touch plastic, the adjustment is carried out using a special elastic band with Velcro, which allows you to adjust its length for the most comfortable wearing. Although they do not contain noise reduction, external sounds are repaid quite well. The wheel, which the manufacturer calls Chatmix, allows you to adjust the volume of the game and everything else relative to each other (you can make the game quieter or the music you play to). The backlight can be customized by selecting You can use it with your phone using the included 3.5 mm adapter (but then it will be just headphones with stereo sound, for music and movies, that's it). There is something like virtual 7.1 sound, which makes it easier to determine the source of the sound in games and creates a sense of volume in the sound. The microphone is bidirectional, retractable, on a flexible leg. Can be turned off with the button on the cup. You can understand whether the microphone is turned off or not by the indication on the microphone (if it is on, then the microphone is turned off) or by the state of the button (if it is pressed into the cup, then the microphone is on)
    Cons
    • The technology of spatial sound plays into the hands in games, but when listening to music, especially with a lot of low frequencies, something like wheezing appears, it does not overshadow all the music, it can be annoying. Also, a short wheezing is heard when the sound ends abruptly.

    Poor quality, not worth the money.

    In principle, not the worst headphones, but if you compare the Steelseries headphone lines, they are definitely the worst. Broke without living and 2 years which of course is extremely small. Dirt collects as if in the ear pads themselves, as if I were constantly pouring crumbs there, so traces on the matte surface remain on the cd. The microphone that extends over time will begin to crack from frequent use. Well, the icing on the cake is an infernal equalizer that constantly falls to the floor

    Pros
    • Price (at one time) positioning in games convenience, good software, the wire from them came in handy later.
    Cons
    • They lived less than 2 years, they collect dirt, a cracking microphone, an infernal equalizer.

    My impression of the purchase is good, buy it.

    In general, the headphones are good. Taking into account all the shortcomings for me, the red price for them is 3990, but not 9990.

    Pros
    • Comfortable, lightweight. Nice to dress up and play with. The headset is conveniently hidden. The backlight is unobtrusive.
    Cons
    • Even taking into account the settings through the program, there are no basses. After HP OMEN was not pleasant to get used to. But, after 3 days, as usual, you don’t remember anything anymore and you play without basses.

    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…

    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.

    I am satisfied with everything, the product corresponds to the description.

    Alas, almost all famous brands do not develop the technological side of their devices, but only develop marketing tricks and advertising, and these headphones are a real example of this. They are good, but not worth the money.

    Pros
    • Good positioning. It's good, not great or perfect. Very comfortable (for me personally). There was a question about taking them to the store, but left it only because of the ease of use. Noise isolation is good, comparable to normal in-ear headphones. Flexible long wire, seemingly quite reliable if you use the headset in normal mode. It writes well micro, for games, chat and the like it’s enough for the eyes, it doesn’t rattle, it doesn’t make noise, the noise reduction works well. Really convenient for discord, firstly, the discord immediately picks them up and you don’t need to configure anything, and secondly, it’s convenient to adjust the volume balance through the remote control.
    Cons
    • The sound is really controversial. If you turn on the 7.1 mode in the software, it will start to seem that the headphones give out some kind of heavenly sound and detail, but in fact without this mode they are just specially strangled, I realized this when I connected it to my smartphone (galaxy s9) via jack, in the end I got a little different, but not nearly inferior sounding. Conclusion, there is nothing unusual in the headphones themselves, let alone in the software, ordinary ears in a beautiful package. Games and movies in headphones come in well, but as for music, everything works out as it should, but personally I don’t have enough bass, but the high ones are almost always knocked out. But here I'm not offended, the headphones are positioned as gaming and as gaming headphones they are really good.

    I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

    The headphones not only look solid on their own, they are also very pleasant to use, the photo shows that they can be twisted and turned to put them comfortably on a table / rug, a trifle, but how warm it immediately becomes on the soul :) Yes, you can continue for a long time about the little things - the backlight of a disabled microphone, removing the strap to replace it with another, custom, etc.

    Pros
    • They write about the sound from the bucket, xs, they tried to remove the bucket from the head, MB will help, I xs: D I really like the sound, awesome micro with a million settings, from noise reduction, then 7.1 surround sound and "wave equalization" during speech. Many options for backlighting, she herself is of moderate brightness; there is not much of it, just a thin oval, which is a big plus. They sit comfortably on the head, do not put pressure on the ears, the height is adjustable, the strap and “ear caps” are removed, you can buy custom ones in the style store, if I’m not mistaken, which is very cool for fans of this. Super useful button to stir yourself up, always at hand, you can quickly press and turn off the micro. A very convenient volume control is all in the same place as the mut micro, it is also easy to turn down / add the sound at the right time.
    Cons
    • The wire that got sick of curling up, ahahah And to be honest, they are not even a year later!

    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…

    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.

    The average product, you can find a better one.

    It's a strange situation, there are a lot of great reviews about this headset, but in my case the sound is really terrible, setting through P. O. does not help, the setting in Windows itself, as I did not go out of my way, also does not work. BUT! When listening to music in the same headphones and through the same computer, the sound is normal. Perhaps I would have thought that it was I who was so unlucky, but I saw a couple of similar problems in the reviews. It's a shame, a very comfortable…

    Pros
    • They sit very comfortably, light, almost not felt on the head.
    Cons
    • The sound in the game is terrible, as if you are in a huge pipe. The wife, whose ear was stepped on by a hippopotamus, noticed this feature, and this speaks of a really bad sound.

    A valuable purchase, some advantages!

    Bought based on friends' reviews. Maybe I'm so lucky, but it seems that according to reviews, a common problem is in the CHATMIX USB controller. headphones immediately after the purchase, the interlocutors complained that I was extremely terribly and could be heard with interference. When connected to another computer, everything is exactly the same. When connected to the phone through an adapter, everything is fine. I wrote to SteelSeries support to which I received an answer that the problem…

    Pros
    • -Sound quality -Design -Convenient microphone -Matte plastic thought it would be easily soiled, but no - Convenient double headband adjustment. which can be removed and washed - Convenient microphone mute with indication (mute is not displayed in discord, etc.) -Fabric earmuffs are easy to clean. You can also buy separately
    Cons
    • -USB controller CHATMIX

    A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

    Initially, I bought hyperx cloud alpha s, but the sound was just disgusting with their sound card, I gave them up on the first day, and took these headphones as a replacement. These are perfect for me personally. I recommend! Some pros: The headphones are very comfortable, you can sit in them for a long time without discomfort. Very high quality sound, especially in games, you hear all the rustles, steps. Gives a huge advantage. Got cons: Until I noticed. If only the wire is twisted, but this…

    The purchase brought only positive emotions.

    The RGB lighting is customizable and it's nice to sit and know that I have colors frolicking around my ears. And in the dark, you can also see the glow. Has pros: - The headband is adjustable with a ribbon. I ordered a special print from behind the hillock. Now unique headphones. - many options for connecting to the network - bowls with a rubberized coating, which are pleasant to touch, turn 90 degrees. - I forgot about the main thing: the sound is perfect. Cons: I almost never use the volume…

    One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

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

    A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

    Got 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. Has cons: Got a marriage. Over time, the left ear began to turn off, the balance goes astray every time you remove the headphones

    The right product for me, there were no problems.

    Pros: Satisfied with the purchased product, very stylish headphones, with variable sound settings, I advise you to purchase. Cons: I advise you to first die somewhere, ideally to sit for an hour, because of the non-standard headband model.

    There are several shortcomings, in principle, it corresponds to the norm.

    The cost of 8300 is rather steep. I was anticipating something that would make me go "WOW," but it didn't. Even though it's been a month, I still can't shake the feeling that I definitely paid too much. It would be more beneficial to purchase the most recent version, Arctis 3. (I think the quality will be the same, I did not check it). As you speak into the microphone, it sounds as if you are speaking into the lid of a closed jar; the sound is dull, and you can hear your own breathing in the…

    Pros
    • Headphones that are not uncomfortable It is unacceptable to have that hairstyle) Excellent sound quality (although I did not test out the DTS 2.0 technology). With the button, you'll be able to turn the microphone off. The headphones have a volume control dial, and the sound card has a slider (via USB)
    Cons
    • Pricing and quality of the microphone A body that is marked at the ears

    A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

    Different pros: Excellent sound quality. Full 7.1 sound experience when tested Good microphone. They sit comfortably on the head, do not press. Its cons: In the brought model, the microphone did not work, I had to change it, there was a marriage.
