    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.

    Great gaming headphones

    These headphones are amazing. Super easy to easy and store. Everything comes in crystal clear and the strap on the top of the head helps the headphones stay comfortably on your head.
