steelseries arctis 5 2019 edition review

Now, usually, I dislike those that look unmistakably like a gaming peripheral, but Logitech has managed to make this one have that gaming aesthetic without looking gaudy. The Logitech G Pro X may be a bit of an oldie, hitting the shelves back in 2019 – so a prolonged pandemic ago, but this (as well as its wireless version) remains to be one of my favorite gaming headsets.

(Image credit: Logitech ) Mid-range pick: Logitech G Pro X That’s not something you’ll find in most gaming headsets. As far as the sound itself, all frequencies are well-represented, with rumbling bass, detailed highs, and full mids. Or should I say, more immersive since even in stereo mode, the headset already delivers great sound imaging. Its wired connectivity also looks to the now by including a USB adapter that turns its 3.5mm audio connectivity into a USB connection with 7.1 surround sound for a more immersive gaming experience. I love Corsair’s new signature look, keeping things fresh and that obnoxious, old-school gaming headset aesthetic where it belongs – in the past.

Where it really trims down is on the frills, keeping things simple and sensible yet also stylish. While it sticks with mostly plastic materials – understandable given its price point, the Corsair HS65 Surround still feels solid and of great quality. However, for $20/£30 more, you can get far superior sound quality from the Corsair HS65 Surround, making it a better value for your money.īut first, let’s talk about its design. Not to bash a certain gamer favorite that sits right at that $50 mark, because it does offer a decent fit and equally decent, slightly bass-heavy sound quality.
