Those who connect the headset via USB also have the ChatMix control unit in the cable. So you can’t forget to discourage yourself. If you’ve extended it, it’s immediately obvious.

If the microphone is muted, the microphone lights up relatively brightly in red.

In addition to a mute button for the microphone, there is also a volume knob. The controls are located on the left auricle. It is still comfortable to wear even after a long time. The contact pressure is low, but this does not mean that the headset is loose. The weight of the headset is not too high to interfere. New headbands cost 19,99 Euro – SteelSeries offers different patterns for different tastes.Īltogether the SteelSeries Arctis 5 sits very well on its head. Thus it can also be easily exchanged or washed. The headband can easily be removed or adjusted because it uses Velcro. The headband does not rest directly on the head, but is instead kept at a distance with an elastic headband. Another advantage is that the ear cushions can be changed: New ear pads cost 14,99 Euro directly in the SteelSeries Shop. The ear cushions are covered with a breathable fabric that prevents the ears from overheating even after prolonged sessions, even though they enclose the ears. The ear cups are rotatable and adapt to the shape of the head. However, the RGB lighting does not work via the jack. Visually, the headset is still discreet enough to be worn outdoors and to listen to music on the go with your smartphone. The RGB lighting can be controlled via the SteelSeries Engine 3 and displays all colors. It also includes the SteelSeries logo, which is also illuminated. So there is a ring on the outside of the auricles, which is illuminated. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a gaming headset either. Of course, not everything on the headset is simple. There is absolutely nothing crackling and clattering, no matter what you do with the headset. The workmanship is high quality, the plastic does not look cheap. The plastic of which the Arctis 5 is made is flexible, but still quite stable. Our pattern is matt black, but there is also a white version. The SteelSeries Arctis series tries to impress with a simple design when compared to other gaming headsets. Buy now* mioga Technical Data of the SteelSeries Arctis 5 Driver
