Customer Ratings & Reviews

So I came from turtle beach’s which was great I loved them for my Xbox not for my pc. These are great it has a control where you can pick if you want to hear the game or your chat more. It also has a led ring around each headset so that’s dope. A little on the heavy side if your use to smaller headset but over all it’s a go

i have a Steelseries bluetooth controller. and just like the controller, this headsets quality. ease of use are top notch. very comfortable to wear. retractable mic when not using it. an on headset mute button that illuminates a red light just within peripheral so that you dont forget you are muted. but does not distract from gaming. it also has a game/voice chat audio mixer so that you can get just the right amount of video into the headset if you so choose.

When I first got these, I thought they seemed too quiet. After downloading the EQ software and making some adjustments, I found it super easy, and I’m super happy with the product. This is the BEST headset on the market for an affordable price. The only “bad” thing about these is that they don’t have as much bass as my old Razer Nari essentials. If I could give them 6/5 stars, I would.

Sound is great, nice bass, and i wasnt really expecting it to light up and change color on the ear covers. The headband is also pretty comfortable and adjustable. However, the mic light can shine in your eyes, the light turns off when youre muted. So if you have a side conversation while streaming, its at least a good visual reminder that youre not muted.

Love the headset, as far as sound and microphone quality it’s top notch. My only flaw is the one size fits all strap, not the biggest fan of that style of adjustment. Also the dial for microphone settings not what I’m used to, I’m sure I’ll get used to it in a couple more weeks.

It was a very good headset. first time having it and I was so impress except for the program in changing sound quality.

These are fun headsets. They go very well with my other steelseries accessories such as keyboard, mouse and mousepad. Color coordination is really cool. Sound quality is really good. Mic can do a bit better.

I love the design of Steel series and love the retractable mic. I even love the felt adjustment band, but I have a bit of a weight issue on the ears. Not a drastic issue but i think the felt adjustment just isn't holding the most of the weight.

To preface I am no sound expert. But I do like to game. I’ve had my SteelSeries Arctis 5 since 2020, and it's still performing like a champ. The sound quality is incredible, with rich, immersive audio that enhances every gaming experience. The clarity and depth make it easy to pick up subtle in-game details, giving me an edge in competitive play. Despite daily use, this headset has shown remarkable durability, with no issues in sound quality or physical wear. If you're looking for a headset that combines high-quality audio with impressive longevity, the Arctis 5 is an outstanding choice. Highly recommended!

Most comfortable headset I've ever owned. Super lightweight and doesn't mash my ears causing pain after extended use. Bass is a bit lacking but the mids and highs are pretty good. Bought these for comfort and the sound is good enough for gaming. Only gripe is the mixer knob in the cable to adjust between game chat and game sound. Flops around on the desk when wearing the headset. Although not a lot of weight, the feel of the knob weight is still noticable when its dangling from your head. Software is easy to use to adjust eq and rgb settings.

There are multiple styles of headsets from different brands that have similar specs. All designed to have a similar look which gives the impression they are all the same. This is not the case. The Arctic 5 is a great starting point for the gamer who wants motion sensing in game. Obviously there are more expensive and higher spec headsets out there, but for the price and what you get; build quality, comfort, and details it's great. -I have a larger head, foam covers ears completely and reduces a lot of sound. Not completely noise cancelling but for the bedroom player these are perfect. -Has a sound balance tool attached to the cord to reduce game sound or chat sound via turn wheel on the fly. I don't use it to often but it's great when you need to really focus and drown out your discord. -I would like these to be cheaper and it was hard for me to pull the trigger on a $100 headset, but the second I tested them it was completely worth it. -The sound is leveled great, it won't get to blow out volumes but it has punchy lows, solid mids/and highs. Great for music and gaming. -One negative of this headset is the sound selection keeps switching between chat and game mode on Windows 10. It keeps muting the headset when I walk away for an extended amount of time. I have to manually switch it between modes to get the headset to get sound again. It can be annoying but it's so minor of a problem I don't really care. If you are considering these, go for it. You will not regret the purchase. I plan on purchasing another steel series headset once my time with these have passed but it more than likely wont happen any time soon.

I've been trying these out for a month now and what I like about them is the comfort, the noise cancelling effect, and the sound of the headphones. You can adjust the bands just right and you can wear them for hours. The headphone ears are very plush and soft while wearing. I also like how the microphone slides in and out when you need it. As soon as you put the headphones on, they have a natural noise cancelling effect and you won't hear any outside sound while you're playing. The sound quality is great and I do like the surround sound effect for gaming. I'm happy with them and will be a great addition to my gaming.

I love this headset. The subtle rgb lighting is awesome. The headset is sturdy and comfortable. I could easily wear this for hours at a time. The sound quality is great and the special audio is incredibly accurate

Best headset I’ve ever had. Bought this when I didn’t know much about headsets and the differences, but this is definitely a good headset for the pricing! Comfortable, great audio, and really simple to setup!

This is actually my first headset and I believe it is very good quality and it feels great on my ears and head

The headphones I used to buy doesn't even compare these. The audio, the size and the comfortability everything is great.

For being wired headset I would consider it a comfortable headset, even thought I am more into wireless. I would recommend these for people that like comfort and sound.

I had a horrible week at work and decided I would finally buy this headset after looking at it for so long. It was definitely worth every penny. This headset singlehandedly cured my depression and makes my twitch streams sound like I'm the greatest unpaid podcaster you've ever seen. Seriously though, buy this headset. Quality? Immaculate. Sound? Immaculate? Pretty rgb lights and mic that extends so you can put it up to your mouth and scream in it at your friends? Dare I say, Immaculate. You will not regret this headset, it is so comfy, too. It doesn't make your head feel like your brain is losing circulation 4 hours into getting absolutely destroyed in warzone. The only downside is you can't change the rgb colors - they only cycle rainbow colors as far as I know. But all I did was plug it in and start using it, so who knows maybe you can and I just haven't tried to find out. Anyway - TLDR: Totally worth it in every way possible, but RGB isn't a selectable color.

My old G230 headset was breaking apart when I looked into getting a new headset. I first ordered Cooler Master MH-751 off of Amazon. There were some internal wiring issues that caused the sound from the headset to go directly back to the Mic. I returned the product and wanted to get something that I could pick up from my local Bestbuy. Arctis 5 wired has been phenomenal with its LEDs and Chat Mix feature. I can turn my volume from my friends on Discord up on the fly whenever the game gets too loud. I recommend turning off 7.1 for FPS as it can blurs the sound. However, 7.1 for music is pretty awesome. Comfort wise, the Arctis 5 outclassed any headset I have tried in the past. The side swivel coupled with the SUPER comfortable mesh earmuffs is amazing. Not to mention the elastic headband. Definitely more comfortable than its competitors such as Hyper X Cloud II. Highly recommended. Just a very clean and pretty product.

great headphones, comfortable wore them for working remote on phone all day 8-10 hours. great sound and cancels out any noise.
