So comfertable, the sound is AWESOME, this is a great headset for fortnite, it sounds like you are in the game, the lights are great, I really recommend this product
I strongly recommend this product to any pc gamer that needs a headset.
Overall, it's a good product, especially for the price.
Thanks for selling me a 100$ defective product...will never buy again.
This product has a issue that everyone chatting with me can hear their echo when connecting to my ipad, which is a very frustrating experience

There aren't any loose pieces to be knocked out or off when the headphones are dropped (which I've already done a few times, oops).Finally, the best feature is the no-tangle yet LONG cord
It’s insanely comfortable and the mic and sound quality is great and the retractable mic is a really cool feature
The microphone passthrough to the headset is also a nice feature
The fake surround sound feature is gimmicky and causes lag and
A very nice feature is the "CHATMIX" dial that enables a balance to be set between the microphone and headset

Unless you absolutely have to have a good looking headset, at the cost of all performance this price range should have, neither the Arctis 3 or 5 will live up to expectations or their price points
I will say that they are comfortable for long hours of gaming, the audio quality is sufficient, and they have a sleek look
The look is also very clean and neat, not something that screams 'edgy' or 'gamer'
It seems very durable and not too bulky, very simplistic design and RGB offer a very nice look
Very nice looking and comfortable though, wish people had a better time hearing me.

What a shame these headphones were great but now have to be junked.
These are the most comfortable headphones I have ever owned.
, then again my other headphones work with iPhone but do not work with
They are really good headphones because I got them for my
As mentioned, the sound quality is fine, I have no issue with the speakers themselves, but the other issues are large enough that I would not recommend the headphones.

It's comfortable and it fits me very well (big head, normal ears)
Highly uncomfortable for anybody with man sized ears lol
This coupled with how soft the ear cups are makes them very comfortable to wear for long periods of time
If the cord is slightly bumped, aka you turn your head wearing the headset, the right ear fuzzes out and you need to wiggle the cord where it attaches to the headset.
My ears would actually begin to hurt during 3-4 hour gaming session with those

I'm sure the chat knob has some benefit for gamers, but the dial is too sensitive and often needs to be rest(almost
I love the dial that lets you kind of alternate between "chat" and "in-game" volume, but I can live without it if I can actually get a headset with decent enough audio
I wish the product reviews talked about this awful dial or the description had any warnings
USB *Non-BRAIDED* cable, that is plugged into this strange chatmix dial, that has another
I like the dial that allows you to balance game and voice volume

Also it seems like these aren't able to be turned up as loud as I would like for some games where hearing footsteps is important
Both of my previous headsets had absolutely stellar simulated surround sound with the Dolby codec and above average mic quality, as well as both being within the same price range as the Arctis 5 at the time I bought them (around $80-90), which became what I have been used to when purchasing headsets
They can also,hear me very well, without a lot of background noise!
I love this headset, it's a so comfortable and even with my glasses
LED’s are a cool touch and the software is user friendly

Top Recommendation for background noise in
Headsets
the wires are easy to change out making it easy to use on any console, computer, or phone
Also, that proprietary wire loves to fall out of said chat volume mixer ..very frequently... leaving you with no sound
Durability was okay, but i had one issue, since i would usually drop it on my couch, which isnt rough, on the hinge where it holds the earcup, a wire got loose, and it made the earcup move a lot less smooth
no swapping it out for a different/better wire
Why is the wired headset even capable of detaching?

I generally prefer a snugger fit around the ears, like the old G-35's could provide with band-adjustment, and feel like the headset will often fall off (though it never has).The headset loses me at the cable(s)

You have to pay to send it in, write your own printing label, and send emails to them to check the status of your product, maybe I'm being a bit picky but these issues with little use isn't good at all
Great overall headset, few issues, and good customization.
Throughout this past year I have suspected issues with the cord that runs from the headset to the controller because audio and mic would both cut in and out until recently when my mic stopped working all together

I use this exclusively for chat on the xbox one and my party always tells me there is a horrible echo.
But I am not told by my friends that there is an audible echo from the headset on Xbox One
My gaming friends could not bear the terrible echo coming from my microphone I had to end up switching back to my old A40's
Often times games sound fine with the 7.1 enabled, but doing anything else i.e watching videos, playing music all sound muffled and has a slight annoying echo for no reason

X Cloud Revolver cons: worst microphone I've ever used
In this hopefully brief review, I will compare it to the Turtlebeach PX22 and the Hyper X Cloud Revolver headsets
However the mic on the Arctis just destroys the Revolver's

The only complaint if I had to give one is the actual connection on the headset
o brands like razor
o brands like razor
The reason I am taking off one star is that the first unit I received had a very weak cable connection that had to be physically held in place in order for the headset to function properly
I've been using it for just over three months and the connection on the headset itself is loose and won't pickup my

this can be help by just ripping a small piece of paper and using it to add more friction to the connection, but still its sad that a 100$ head set doesn't work correctly out of the box
