STEELSERIES HEADSET INSTALL

The SteelSeries Arctis 5 headset is a decent plug-and-play accessory even before you install the accompanying software. Audio Performance of SteelSeries Arctis 5 The 3.5mm attachment is quite small and easy to misplace, so there’s a benefit in putting it away when not in use. Using the 3.5mm attachment for handheld gaming removes the ChatMix dial but makes the wire much shorter. This allowed me to keep the dial about an arm’s length away, which is perfect for being able to reach it when necessary and make sure it didn’t interfere with any movements or my best gaming mouse when I didn't need it. The good news is that there’s a very comfortable amount of distance between the main cord and the ChatMix dial.

I had to fold up the remainder of the cord and tuck it behind my gaming PC to keep my space organized. Unfortunately, the cords are rather long and would get tangled and feel cumbersome while gaming. Users can connect to smartphones and controllers with the 3.5mm adapter. The main cable plugs into the ChatMix dial, which then plugs into a PC, Mac, or gaming console via USB Type-A. The controls on the Arctis 5 are simple and include a volume wheel and a mute button for the microphone.

Setting the mic back in place is as easy as taking it out. It is malleable, allowing for easy adjustment and even turns outward. I noticed a major boost in this comfort between this headset and the Patriot Viper V380, which isn’t that much heavier at 10.88 ounces (310g) but has larger cups and a thicker, braided cord.Īdding to its futuristic design, the Arctis 5 microphone retracts easily from the base of the left cup. Weight-wise, the Arctis 5 is on the lighter end at just 9.76 ounces(277g). The headphones can also swivel flat to be worn around the neck.

On both, there's a 3.5mm line in and out, as well as two USB Type-C connections for a 'first in gaming' multi system connection, so you can keep your PlayStation 5 and your PC connected at all times.Īlso, the DAC serves as an 96kHz/24-bit amplifier, similar to that of the Arctis Pro + which also touts a wide 10-40kHz frequency response. The DAC for both the PlayStation and Xbox versions is well designed (each one's slightly different looking), and keeps a lot of these settings close at hand so you can switch them around in game, without alt-tabbing out. You can also pick from several levels of sidetone so you know what you sound like to others, with an impressive lack of delay. There are a bunch of other toggles to play around with to get your audio the way you want it, including a game-chat, mic and master mixer right there in the software.

Sonar's spatial audio is on point, and the slider gives you control over how performant or immersive it is, so you can be more accurate in competitive games and less so if you're just watching a movie or playing a walking sim. It even delivers presets for a bunch of top games to help you make the most of this insider knowledge, and more presets are being added as time goes on. Particularly, since it highlights which sections of the curve relate to certain sounds in game (footsteps, explosions, etc.). While there are some hardware-specific Sonar features like the upcoming AI noise cancelling, Sonar equaliser curve has the potential to benefit any old headset. Listening to the same tune through the Arctis 7X on the same Sonar settings, I could not say the same. My inner raver was supremely delighted when I discovered Minecraft trap actually slaps-I almost felt my chest cavity vibrate vicariously, like a creeper ready to pop. I was impressed with how much I could crank the bass and gain up without an iota of distortion, too.

It works via a fully adjustable parametric curve, rather than simple sliders, and gives audiophiles a lot to play with. Front and centre is the comprehensive equaliser. Speaking of software, something called Sonar has now been deployed in the SteelSeries GG software, which is a fantastic accompaniment to the Nova Pro.
