SteelSeries has generally put other headset manufacturers to shame when it comes to comfort, and the Arctis 5 is no exception.

The adapter for the 3.5 mm jack is tiny and easy to lose. Besides, the amp is too light to sit comfortably on a desk, and the extra-long wire tends to get in the way of everything. The USB adapter goes through an amp that controls chat volume, which is pretty useless if you're engaged in a single-player game. The Arctis 5 connects via USB or 3.5mm audio jack, but either way, you have to plug a proprietary jack into an adapter. This gaming headset is compatible with Windows and macOS computers, Sony PlayStation 5 and Sony PlayStation 4 consoles, as well as other 3.5mm devices using the included adapter.My only real complaint - and it's not an insignificant one - is that cable management is a mess. Upon that, this model includes DTS Headphone:X v2.0 surround technology for an immersive 7.1 experience. The SteelSeries ArcEdition headphones feature a longer cable, more comfortable ear cushions, and tweaked lower end for stronger bass. The cable with a ChatMix dial lets you adjust game and voice chat balance without having to tab out of the game and lose precious seconds in competitive titles. Meanwhile, the Discord-certified ClearCast bidirectional mic ensures effortless communication with your team in the heat of the battle. Upon boasting top-notch audio quality and fully adjustable sound using the SteelSeries Engine software, this model features a 16.8 million-color RGB ring on either side, making them a perfect choice for your setup. SteelSeries ArcEdition RGB Gaming Headset for PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5Įxperience your favorite games in a whole new way with the SteelSeries ArcEdition gaming headphones.
