ClearCast Microphone

The SteelSeries Arctis 5 is a wired gaming headset finished in black. It targets players who want clear communication and immersive audio across multiple platforms. The exclusive ClearCast microphone provides studio-quality voice clarity with background noise cancellation. A detachable USB soundcard enables on-the-fly ChatMix adjustment between game and chat volume.

DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround

S1 speaker drivers deliver DTS Headphone:X 7.1 surround sound on PC. Stereo audio is available on Mac, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, VR, Switch and mobile devices. The USB soundcard connects directly to a computer and requires no additional software for core functionality. AirWeave ear cushions and a ski-goggle suspension headband distribute weight evenly for extended sessions.

Multi-Platform Gamers

This headset suits gamers who switch between PC and consoles and value a detachable mic solution. Buyers who need wireless freedom or Bluetooth connectivity should look elsewhere. Users requiring active noise cancellation for travel will not find it here. The wired USB connection limits mobility compared to wireless alternatives.
