    Great Gaming and Music Headphones

    These are exceptional comapred to other brands I have owened. I know the RGB lighting is not a big deal but certainly adds a nice touch espically when paired with the Steel Series / Sonar mixer which I highlt recommend for tuning and setting the equalizer. These are very immersive and really put you in the game. I can hear foot steps in FPS and details I normally miss when using desktop speakers alone. I also tested these with some music and am very impressed with the range. The lows are clean and don't get muddy and the highs are clear without being peircing. I also like that these comes with cable extensions for aux and usb-c along with a long usb-c (female) to a usb-a (male). Lastly, these are quite comfortable and fit over my ears and don't mash them against my head which can get painful. I've worn them for 2+ hours at a time without removing them with no issues or ear fatigue. I like these over the Nova 1 due to the slightly better frequency range and the RGB lights where a nice touch. Definitely recommend!

    Idan - headphone review

    The SteelSeries Arctis 5 is a solid mid-range wired gaming headset that excels in sound quality, comfort, and communication. If you’re mainly a PC gamer and don’t need wireless functionality, this is an excellent choice that punches above its weight. Perfect for gamers who want reliable performance and sleek design without breaking the bank.
