I have had one of these headsets for around 6 month and as compared to some of the other headsets I have owned in the past, this one is leaps and bounds above the others. I am very satisfied. It is one of the few headsets that doesn't give me a migraine after more than a half hour.
I bought this based on your recommendation and I am very pleased with it. I have had no issues with the microphone and it feels very comfortable even after long gaming sessions or just listening to music. The sound quality is amazing (this is my first gaming headset so maybe I'm ignorant here but I think it's great) and the audio/chat mixer is useful but I've only used it a couple times. Thank you for the in depth review!
They are so comfy don’t hurt my ears or head feels so light I love the mic hearing and chat invoice that you can hear you’re self and people really clear and good
Been using these for almost 6 months now. I freaking love them! There was an issue with the speakers crackling, but software updates seems to have fixed that. I couldn't disagree with you more on the "Surround" ruining the experience. I play a lot of PUBG and Arma3, both games having people shoot at me from all sides, and the awareness is FANTASTIC! I can very easily tell which direction a shot came in from, and I feel that there is no loss in any other quality of sound. Can't exactly offer an opinion on the mic, as I don't use it, nor was it a factor in buying them.
I actually like audio sharing For example when a friend comes over and you want to play for example a horror game together, you can just plug in the other pair of headphones 🎧 😋
i think it works more for plugging in a set of speakers like if someone wants to watch you play you can plug in speakers or if you just want to switch between headphones and speakers you can do it without having to close out your game.. just put on the headphones and turn the dial down on the speakers.
this depends on the headphones soundstage of its own. some closed back headhones have a better soundstage than some open back ones... its very individual. for example the ATH 2000x (open) have litarally no soundstage while the ATH m40x (closed) offer an even better soundstage also my beyerdynamic DT770 Pro do a good job on seperation
I have had these headphones for 2 years and this is what I think: It's quite a nice headset when it comes to audio quality. It's clear and I can't really complain there. Just make sure you set your EQ profile. Immersive profile sounds the best in my opinion but feel free to make a custom one. In my opinion, its best strong point is comfort. You can literally wear them all day and still never notice they are even on. The mic isn't great though and I still highly recommended getting a condenser mic as well. It doesn't have to be a super expensive one because any condenser is better than its mic. But its ok for communications but it is not good for recording, because it sounds like you have a cold.
Completely ignore the negative comments. The Steelseries Arctis 5 definitely is a good headset. I don't know what kind of shit setup all the negative guys have, including HardwareCanucks. The headset is very comfortable, it has soft earcups, is light weighted and therefore you can wear it for hours without any trouble. It sits tight, but not to tight. The microphone records a clear sound and the speakers put out a clear sound as well. A friend of mine bought it as well and when we're talking to each other over Teamspeak, or other voicechats, we can hear the other with a very clear voice. Many other headsets are way behind there (trust me, i've already spoken to a lot of different people with a lot of different headsets). Another profit is the fact you can pull the earpads off to wash or replace them. Every earpad gets smelly and greasy over time. These ones will feel and smell nice and fresh again after washing. I haven't found a real downside on this one. The only things I would have done different are the headband and the volume control on the left earcup. I have a rather bigger head and still have to mount the headband quite tight. It still sits very comfortable and tight enough, but for people with very small heads that could prove to be a problem. I would have designed the volume control as an endless wheel with an additional control/indicator in the engine software. That would make it easier to readjust the volume on the level you want it.
I've had the Arctis 7 Headset for a month (28 days) now and I am in love with it, the only thing I regret is to not buy 1-year insurance instead of 2. I was happy to see an AUX adapter included so i could listen to music on my four-hour bus ride. It's comfortable as hell and there hasn't been a single time i've run out of battery life during my long sessions haven't even seen it go down to 25% once. It's extremely light on the head and miles more comfortable than my last headset which was a wireless from razer. The best part about any wireless is that i can simply walk downstairs to the kitchen and grab a cold one without taking the headset off. The sad though is, no RGB lights ;"(
I really appreciate the fact that you make your ads short sweet and to the point, and focus more on the content youre actually reviewing. Love your content as always.
Don't know why I'm watching this review after already owning the product for more than 3 years. The only concerns after 3 years of use is the elastic band on the top of your head stretches out over time. On the inside of the ear muffs the leather like material is already peeling off and shredding allowing for some sound to escape. Also the rubber padding on the outside of the ear muffs are peeling allowing for the LED to shine through the ruffed edges (and of course take note these are expected from wear and tear usage) Besides all that I love the headset. It's super comfortable, lightweight, sound quality is good and overall looks great. I'll most likely go for the wireless next purchase.
@1000 Subs with no vids?? Recommend gsp 300 or a normal headphone don't get the razer. I personally love razer for its keyboards and mice but not the headsets.
I'd be interested to know how you thought the 7 felt compared to the 5. I initially bought a 5 but switched them out for a 7 because of a sale later in the week, and the difference was pretty noticeable to me. Absolutely love my 7s.
The headphone sound sharing is really good, I think. My friend has the Arctis 5 and if we want to play split screen on his monitor, because he doesn't have a bigger screen, he will share this headset sound with the 3.5mm connection.
I have had this headset for quite a while. Never had any problems with it so far. the sound is pretty good. dts only works in some games. You do have to play around with the software to get the best out of it though. But mainly it looks better than all the others at the same price so whats it really matter?
What about that thing he said about the surround vs the other sound? Is that a problem? Also, I've had the Siberia V3 for 2+ years now and they've been great, mostly because my whole ear fits in the earcup and the head band expands enough for my big ass head to be comfortable, is that the case in this headset?
Honestly the Cloud 2 is so much better. I bought the Arctis 5 and returned it 3 days later. Seriously the only thing that was better about Arctis 5 over Cloud 2 was the mic. Cloud 2 sounds better, looks better and is more comfortable. When i wore Arctis 5 my ears hurt after like 2 hours and my ears aren't even that big. Tbh even tho i got the Arctis 5 for like 20 euros less than the normal price they still weren't worth it. So yeah buy the Cloud 2, It's cheaper and better.
I'm switching over headsets. I had the Hyper X cloud 2 but it broke after a year. Buying these to pair with my Rival 700 mouse. I'll let y'all now what I think
I have owned this headset for half a year now and it worked fantastic but the mic pics up the audio from the headphones if playing at loud volumes. This problem was a huge issue for me but I still think that the Arctis 5 is a good headset for the price.
Also, the adverts said that the Arctis 5 had the best microphone for gaming when that is entirely false. The Sennheiser G4ME 0NE headphones have better audio quality AND a MUCH better microphone for just nearly the same price if you get them used on amazon. I would not recommend the Arctis 5 headphones.
you're the only one who correctly point out the mini usb, most reviewers i saw reviewing this just says that this is a proprietary cable. this is why i always wait for your review on things, a bit late but well done.
I have the Arctis 7 and it's great, the mic could be slightly less processed but works pretty well. Overall it is comfy and the sound is nice and crisp bass unlike many headsets which just give you insanely stupid bass and subpar sound quality. Don't bother with surround dts, stereo ftw.
I love it for styling, everything seems uniform in looks department i.e. it doesn't have ugly design as Hyper X headset has , that usb chat thing is extremely useful when playing in multiplayer with friend to balance game and chat volume on the go, it is more useful that it seems to be at the start, 2019 edition doesn't have ugly steelseries logos on sides, just rings of LED and has extra soft pollster around so you doesn't feel it when play, i went on 8 hour play session and didn't get any irritation feeling or any feeling at all when gaming, also mic works very well without it being removed from headset, so you can just leave it in and don't worry about it breaking, pulling it out is really just a preference thing. Good headset for its price, really recommend.
Bobes555 i never had them, but they seem great, im a corsair fanboy so i bought the void wirelss rgb headphones, theg were great but they kept falling off my head, i would like to get these headphones. but people are being picky, you could just get a modmic.
Same, but I haven't had a ton of different ones to try. Only thing I am now noticing is I am getting some light crackling sometimes. Maybe it's my computer, I don't know. I am going to try my other PC. I didn't know if it was my headset or if it was my messed up, chronic tinnitus hearing. I get pops and thuds to begin with naturally since my hearing is damaged, but pretty sure it's the headset this time. lol
Just got this in white, looks nice with the white/brushed aluminium pc set up. I have to say for £90 and fairly old model the sound quality is incredible, better than my arctis 9x and better than some other more expensive ones out there, I spent maybe 20 mins playing with sound settings and they no sound insane. Would recommend.
7.1 surround sound should die. Games like csgo allow stereo mode with accurate 3d positioning based on head related transfer function. This allows accurate locating of sounds. 7.1 messed this up. I have Logitech g933 and with the Logitech software installed windows forces 7.1 even if it's disabled in the Logitech software. It's so pointless splitting stereo into 7.1 channels instead of taking advantage of stereo binural audio which seems to be better suited for gaming.
It should not die. Stereo is better for competitive gaming but 7.1 is a beast when it comes to games that audio is a big part of. Like in battlefield you can feel the gunshots far away but with stereo its just static sound coming in to your ear. I personally stopped playing those super competitive games like csgo and i started playing more games that seriously are more fun. So i love 7.1 because it feels like you are in the battlefield or in the forest your walking in game.
The "joint" on the head band is what's called flashing, and is not where two pieces of the plastic meet, but where two pieces of the mold used to cast the plastic met :)
I love the video and all of your videos! Great reviews as always, but I have to say, I've been using this headset for over a year and have never experienced any of those issues you had (volume glitch/headset disconnection issue). It's tough when you're a consumer with the same product and don't experience the same issues as a reviewer. It feels like maybe the issue is only on the reviewer's end. But who knows?
I own the GSP 300 Currently and have been using it for 3 years and it is an amazing headset but now im thinking of buying a Steel series Arctis 5 and thanks to this review i'm going to buy one!
I got the headphones and dont regret it. I updated the headphones through steel engine 3 app and it gave me louder sound through ps4. I cranked everything up to 12 decibles and put the dynamic range on high. I played fortnite and it almost made me deaf. Note: i use the usb for ps4
Manual wire audio sharing with headphones is a constant blessings in a studio. They are thinking outside the box to retail to a broader audience than just gamers. Smart imo
More of a bit of interesting info than a correction - the "joint point" is called a "parting line" in the injection molding industry. Two pieces of (most likely) steel which move in different directions meet at this line.
5:14 Does anybody know if something like this "two interfaces for one device" feature can be added to regular headphones in Windows? A friend of mine is having this with his GSP 350 as well over his USB-Dongle. It would be convenient to have a second device for communication that has its output to the same physical port to regulate volume for this separately.
@grg Yeah, it sucks that you need third party software for these simple things on Windows that apparently can be solved with a simple driver adjustment. It's just more convenient to have a separate communication and standard audio device instead of adjusting volume for every app separately. I know how to do this on my Linux system via Pulseaudio but since I mainly game using Windows it would be nice to have it there since it's clearly possible.
Hi Dimitri, by the way, the audio sharing port goes 2 ways, you can use the headset with aux stereo cable to your phone (aside from using the usb cable to stereo) and it will also works without the RGB and still sounds great!
So I ended up getting these because of this review. The big selling point to me was the game chat mixer. And the microphone audio. And the cloth ear pads. The driver audio is good. Still not as good a my Superlux HD 668B's but really decent. So I will say this is a really solid review on almost every point. And for closed back I was surprised how good positional audio was when a game had proper support for it. But games like PUBG use a built in 3D almost binaural audio for gunshots and footsteps. Due to the game being in early access everything else is just stereo. No multi channel out yet. There seems to be a lack of knowledge on reviewers. And a problem with the manufactures on teaching people how this tech works. See stuff like Dolby Headphone, and DTS X can only work on multi channel output. So your game has to support 5.1 or 7.1 audio out. Then the game (or sometimes windows) needs to be set to multi channel output for DTS X to take all the channels and down mix them for stereo with there audio delay processing to give it that 3D surround effect. Once thing I still don't like about DTS X is the reverb. I wish you could shut that all the way off. Then I think this would be really good. Unfortunately these codecs are sold as a package and manufactures like steel series can not make changes unless DTS would allow it. But I can say I tried these in both Battlefield 1 and Battlefront 2 demo with the game audio set correctly. And DTS X does work really well giving you the 3D surround. Something like PUBG all you are getting is stereo with a reverb that kills the already good 3D audio in that game. So I would not recommend it for that title. If you could minimize or get rid of all together. I think these headsets would be a full home run.
Audio sharing great when watching late at night with your partner/friend or with near Air Conditioning on. Also, the pass thru volume seems somewhat attenuated, which my wife appreciates since I need volume a little louder.
THANK YOU. Virtual surround as "a soup of audio" is EXACTLY how I've been describing it. Will reference this in my review of the 7

HyperX Alpha vs Steelseries Arctis 5??
You're funny. Good review. Subscribed 👌
HAHAAA good thing I was hibernating while you guys were waiting for this review!
It is just so awesome and useful that in every headset test video you compare the current one to the Sennheiser GSP300. Thank you!
All the hate.. I love this headset..
Bobes555 i never had them, but they seem great, im a corsair fanboy so i bought the void wirelss rgb headphones, theg were great but they kept falling off my head, i would like to get these headphones. but people are being picky, you could just get a modmic.
Yeah, me too! It´s great...
Same, but I haven't had a ton of different ones to try. Only thing I am now noticing is I am getting some light crackling sometimes. Maybe it's my computer, I don't know. I am going to try my other PC. I didn't know if it was my headset or if it was my messed up, chronic tinnitus hearing. I get pops and thuds to begin with naturally since my hearing is damaged, but pretty sure it's the headset this time. lol
It is but not the mic
The sound is low even at highest
You really sold this headset to me, that mic sounds so good
3:50 that ASMR tho
Thx for the humorous parts, really fun to watch
Is it better than a Kingston Hyperx Cloud?
Just got this in white, looks nice with the white/brushed aluminium pc set up. I have to say for £90 and fairly old model the sound quality is incredible, better than my arctis 9x and better than some other more expensive ones out there, I spent maybe 20 mins playing with sound settings and they no sound insane. Would recommend.
7.1 surround sound should die. Games like csgo allow stereo mode with accurate 3d positioning based on head related transfer function. This allows accurate locating of sounds. 7.1 messed this up. I have Logitech g933 and with the Logitech software installed windows forces 7.1 even if it's disabled in the Logitech software. It's so pointless splitting stereo into 7.1 channels instead of taking advantage of stereo binural audio which seems to be better suited for gaming.
It should not die. Stereo is better for competitive gaming but 7.1 is a beast when it comes to games that audio is a big part of. Like in battlefield you can feel the gunshots far away but with stereo its just static sound coming in to your ear. I personally stopped playing those super competitive games like csgo and i started playing more games that seriously are more fun. So i love 7.1 because it feels like you are in the battlefield or in the forest your walking in game.
HyperX has controlled and modelled it pretty well, so Cloud 2 is awesome in this topic
My daughter and I love the audio sharing, we use it when we play scary games or when gaming late at night so we don't bother other people.
starlord doing a reviews about his headsets :D
thank you for this review! ive been asking for this for quite a long time now
Honestly I love that the arctis microphone is sensitive, it's so fun to troll random people or my friends with mic earrape
The "joint" on the head band is what's called flashing, and is not where two pieces of the plastic meet, but where two pieces of the mold used to cast the plastic met :)
+Jim C K Flaten gotcha! Thanks for the clarification 👍
I usualy have my mic in my mouth
I have a buddy who wants to sit in on a stream and the audio sharing feature is dope.
3:12 oh my god it's Dimitri's evil twin
HHAHAHAHA
Damn, that magic unboxing at 0:06 .. so smooth
My reaction if my fave hero dies in Endgame.: 2:06
I love the video and all of your videos! Great reviews as always, but I have to say, I've been using this headset for over a year and have never experienced any of those issues you had (volume glitch/headset disconnection issue). It's tough when you're a consumer with the same product and don't experience the same issues as a reviewer. It feels like maybe the issue is only on the reviewer's end. But who knows?
What is the deference between Steelseries artic 5 and steelseries artic 5 2019 edition?
Hehehe Fjjddj 2019 is pro edition
I own the GSP 300 Currently and have been using it for 3 years and it is an amazing headset but now im thinking of buying a Steel series Arctis 5 and thanks to this review i'm going to buy one!
I got the headphones and dont regret it. I updated the headphones through steel engine 3 app and it gave me louder sound through ps4. I cranked everything up to 12 decibles and put the dynamic range on high. I played fortnite and it almost made me deaf. Note: i use the usb for ps4
How’s the mic?
I appreciate the honest review!
You’re weird like me and that made this video very enjoyable. Thanks for the review bro!
Manual wire audio sharing with headphones is a constant blessings in a studio. They are thinking outside the box to retail to a broader audience than just gamers. Smart imo
The gsb 300 mic is sexy
More of a bit of interesting info than a correction - the "joint point" is called a "parting line" in the injection molding industry. Two pieces of (most likely) steel which move in different directions meet at this line.
I have this headset and i can say it's great
haven't bought this yet, so does it really uncomfortable to fit it on the neck? I'm a little concern about this...
FINALLY! I have been waiting for this review for forever
5:14 Does anybody know if something like this "two interfaces for one device" feature can be added to regular headphones in Windows? A friend of mine is having this with his GSP 350 as well over his USB-Dongle. It would be convenient to have a second device for communication that has its output to the same physical port to regulate volume for this separately.
@grg Yeah, it sucks that you need third party software for these simple things on Windows that apparently can be solved with a simple driver adjustment. It's just more convenient to have a separate communication and standard audio device instead of adjusting volume for every app separately. I know how to do this on my Linux system via Pulseaudio but since I mainly game using Windows it would be nice to have it there since it's clearly possible.
liked, subbed, and bookmarked my dude. Nice outro too!
No one:
Dimitri: dont eat the mic
Ngl good advice
Hi Dimitri, by the way, the audio sharing port goes 2 ways, you can use the headset with aux stereo cable to your phone (aside from using the usb cable to stereo) and it will also works without the RGB and still sounds great!
The mic on the second headset was better! But arctis 5 was good too. I actually wish arctis 5 for my bday that is on tuesday 1/8
Do you still have it if you do is it any good?
Benji Yes, it’s very good
FINALLY THX DUDE !! Comparing both 3 & 5 !!
You know its truly a great headset when it says the word 'gaming'?
don't.
So I ended up getting these because of this review. The big selling point to me was the game chat mixer. And the microphone audio. And the cloth ear pads. The driver audio is good. Still not as good a my Superlux HD 668B's but really decent.
So I will say this is a really solid review on almost every point. And for closed back I was surprised how good positional audio was when a game had proper support for it. But games like PUBG use a built in 3D almost binaural audio for gunshots and footsteps. Due to the game being in early access everything else is just stereo. No multi channel out yet. There seems to be a lack of knowledge on reviewers. And a problem with the manufactures on teaching people how this tech works.
See stuff like Dolby Headphone, and DTS X can only work on multi channel output. So your game has to support 5.1 or 7.1 audio out. Then the game (or sometimes windows) needs to be set to multi channel output for DTS X to take all the channels and down mix them for stereo with there audio delay processing to give it that 3D surround effect. Once thing I still don't like about DTS X is the reverb. I wish you could shut that all the way off. Then I think this would be really good. Unfortunately these codecs are sold as a package and manufactures like steel series can not make changes unless DTS would allow it. But I can say I tried these in both Battlefield 1 and Battlefront 2 demo with the game audio set correctly. And DTS X does work really well giving you the 3D surround. Something like PUBG all you are getting is stereo with a reverb that kills the already good 3D audio in that game. So I would not recommend it for that title. If you could minimize or get rid of all together. I think these headsets would be a full home run.
Is hs60 better or steelseries artics 5 ?
Plantronics RIG 500E
Audio sharing great when watching late at night with your partner/friend or with near Air Conditioning on. Also, the pass thru volume seems somewhat attenuated, which my wife appreciates since I need volume a little louder.
