The gaming headset space is becoming increasingly competitive as gaming becomes a larger industry and gamers realize the impact quality accessories can have. We've reviewed a few great headsets - including a number of headsets under $100 - like the HyperX Cloud Alpha , which has been hailed as one...

If you're in the market for a gaming headset and have found the market is flooded with so many variants and brands? Or perhaps have become accustomed to a specific brand but want something a bit more refined in some ways… may I bend your ear and introduce you to SteelSeries' new line of Arctis...

Comfortable and light weight; Great overall audio performance; Mic upgrade sets the bar for headsets; Mic and volume control on headset is convenient

Expected a more robust build at its price point; 7.1 virtual surround could be better

The SteelSeries Arctis 5 is a great gaming headset, chock-full of useful features, and carefully tuned to sound as accurate as possible instead of just focusing on the bass. Thanks to that, it's great for playing games on a high level and just as good for listening to music, both at home and on the...

My main headset is a Turtle Beach Z300 wireless, which was $300 when i bought it last year from Turtle Beach. Its still doing well and sounds very good but I wanted to see what was out there for a backup set and a set that my GF can borrow when she needs it. These are some nice looking cans (lol).

-Excellent sound quality -Mids and highs are emphasized and well done, bass is there but its very crisp and tight, not "loose" as in other headsets; -Quick visit to the manufacturers website to download the Steel Series Engine 3 software and you can tweak the EQ

-For this price point based on what you're getting; none

Very comfortable, I use them on my Xbox One. I like that the jack is at 90 degrees. It does require the Xbox One adapter for adjusting the chat and game volume.

I have had this headset for more then a year now. I have been not gentle with this thing but it still works. The only thing that I really hate is the adapter that you can plug in to the phone is not easy to replace at all the same thing goes for the cord that you plug into the computer.

Love these things. fit perfect over my ears and the sound quality is compatible to more higher end headphones. I like that I can adjust the sound threw the companion app. they do not make my ears hot after hours of game play. love them

Looks nice; sturdy build and good sound

Main reason for low rating the inside of the ear cup is shallow and the hard material presses against your ears and causes a lot of discomfort

Looks great. Works great. Cannot fault this product.

So not only am I impressed with the headset itself and would highly recommend it, but also, the delivery and condition of both the product and box is perfect. Definitely worth buying if you're either thinking to upgrade or as first time buy in which case it might be your last.
