Since the PlayStation Tempest 3D Audio was removed, you won’t be able to utilize that like you could on the 7P+ variant. However, if you use PC, you can set up this same effect via the SteelSeries GG app with Sonar.

Another positive is that if you have existing cables, like the ChatMix Dial that comes with Arctis 5 headsets, you can still use that with this. One thing that carries over is the lack of iPhone support due to it’s use of Lightning as opposed to the more commonly used USB-C.Ĭharging is effective and quick, same as before with a 15 minute charge giving you hours use. Like the aforementioned 7P+ wireless headphones before it, this pair also includes the same USB-C dongle and cable to connect seamlessly to your devices that support it.

Like their H series they have a couple of variations but for the launch they sent over the Arctis 5 and I’ve been testing it out and I finally have a little time to sit down and talk about it. But recently they actually introduced a completely new headset product line called the Arctis. They have revamped the H and Siberia lines multiple times and even had a few variations that were close to an all new design like the Siberia Elite. But in that time none of the new headsets have been a completely new design. In the eight and a half years that I have been doing reviews here at LanOC, I’ve had the opportunity to work with SteelSeries on every one of their headset launches.
