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* galaxus Technical Data of the SteelSeries Arctis 5 Driver
