Q: What's the difference between the arctis 5 and the arctis 3
A: Hey Trueman, The Arctis 3 and Arctis 5 have a few key differences. While both offer virtual 7.1 surround sound, the Arctis 3 uses SteelSeries 7.1 and the Arctis 5 uses DTS Headphone:X 7.1. The Arctis 3 is purely analog (3.5mm connections), and the Arctis 5 has adapters for both USB and 3.5mm connections. Both are compatible with SteelSeries Engine 3, which gives you a ton of audio customization options. They also both have the same 40mm audio drivers and bidirectional mic, so you're not losing any sound or voice quality when you switch between the two. Because of the extra power provided by the USB, the Arctis 5 has customizable RGB lighting on both earcups. This will only work with the USB plugged in. The 5 also includes an inline ChatMix dial, which lets you balance between game chat (skype, discord, whatever) and the in-game audio. This is surprisingly useful when you've got that annoying guy either screaming or basically whispering during a match.
Q: Hi with the ps4 its able to get simulated 7.1 or its only for pc with a program to simulate the 7.1
A: The 7.1 sound is only on a PC. It uses a special software to work.
Q: Does this headset have sidetone or mic monitoring?
A: I bought this as a gift, but I can say that from my research, the SteelSeries does have software/USB amplifier monitoring/sidetone. I hope this helps. Resource link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Gaming_Headsets/comments/5s3u6z/pc_headsets_with_mic_monitoringsidetone/
A: Yes. You just have to make sure the mic button is pressed on the left ear
Q: Is this a USB headset? It is not mentioned in the product description.
A: No, it's wired analog. It comes with a long cable with dual 3.5mm for desktop PCs and a short 4-pole 3.5mm plug for laptops, consoles, mobile...etc. But it does include 7.1 surround sound and other audio DSP in their SteelSeries Engine software.
Q: Is it a bluetooth wireless version?
A: This is not Bluetooth or wireless.
A: I wanted a headset comfortable for this reason as others were squeaky or too tight etc. I find it great, the material doesn't stick or anything to my frames and it's not tight to cause pain like others have. Highly recommend!
