| WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
The Steelseries Arctis headset is some of the best gaming headsets for people who rely on their microphone. The mic clarity is really something to note. Your teammates and enemies can hear everything clearly. The sound is good as well, and the surround sound is impressive. If you're impressed with this one and want an upgrade, try the Arctis 7. Arctis 7 also has excellent microphone quality. Use the Steelseries Arctis 5 on your PC or other devices. |
You will get totally immersive sound quality in this gaming headset. If someone is yelling at you to get off the console, you will remain oblivious. But you can hear everything when you are in your own world, which makes this one great gaming headset. |
