    Q: Does it light up when plugged into an xbox controller?

    A: Hey Sam, The RGB Illumination is powered through USB connection. Because the Xbox Controller only uses a 3.5mm connection, there is no way the controller can provide enough power for the RGB lighting.

    Q: The Steelseries website says that the Arctis 5 is compatible with PC, Mac, Mobile, PS4, Xbox One and VR. Your specifications seem to leave out the Xbox One. Why is that?

    A: It is compatible with the Xbox One. The box comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack adapter to plug right up to the controller. However, you'll only be able to modify the RGB lighting and utilize DTS:X on a PC via the USB port.

    Q: Besides the 7 being wireless what are the differences between the 5 and 7. Is the $50 more for the 7 worth it and are wireless gaming headsets worth it, like do they work just as well as the wired?

    A: Yes, the Arctis 7 is wireless. It also has a metal headband instead of plastic, and the ski goggle band is longer and wraps completely around the headset. The 7 also has inputs and outputs on the transmitter. The input lets you hook up something like a phone for wireless audio, and the output can be used to connect speakers, which switch automatically when you turn the headset on and off.

    Q: When using this headset on Xbox One, does this have mic monitoring/voice feedback when talking?

    A: It does not, unfortunately. It's also not surround sound on Xbox if that matters to you. It's still a very good headset with great build quality.

    Q: Are you able to hear yourself in the headphones to decrease the volume at which you actually speak into the mic? I will shell out the dough for my roommate, so the shouting stops!

    A: The steelseries software lets you control microphone sidetone (The ability to hear yourself). You can adjust the volume at which you hear yourself as well.

    Q: How bright is the Arctis 5, when you mute the mic in a dark area? For me, the mic is going to be muted most of the time. Thanks

    A: It's VERY bright and very red. Impossible to ignore in your peripheral vision. Very blinding, in my opinion.

    Q: If you are using them for Xbox one, does it come with an adapter or is that separate?

    A: The newer XBox ONE controllers don't need an adapter, as they have a 3.5mm headset connector built in. However if you are using an older controller you will need an adapter, as one is not included.
