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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

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. There is essentially no delay. The volume wheel is audible when you use it, it scrolls quite easily, so you can accidentally put on or take off the headphones to bring down the position that was previously set. There are no fixed positions, so you can adjust the volume as close to ideal as possible. The wheel adjusts the sound directly in the headphones, it does not affect the volume level set on the device

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.

It's a trifle, but it's sad to realize that I paid almost 9k for yellowed plastic 🥲
