After almost 1.5 years of use, I am leaving this review. The headphones are amazing, in one word. Docker that you can adjust game/chat sound, helped me in other programs I use to distinguish the sound. Sound isolation is very good (with an electric vacuum cleaner next to you and you don't hear anything). And what made them stand out for me is how comfortable they "sit" in the ears without creating any pressure even after hours, especially for those who wear glasses. Long cables without the need for an extension. The program is quite simple (could be better of course). Powerful sound within acceptable limits without distortion and deep bass that allows you to enjoy the sound and not be bothered like many other headphones in the same category. Finally, the microphone is just right for integrated headset, it will cover many users for gaming/chatting but for streaming you definitely need something better. I highly recommend them for anyone in this budget range! 5 stars without a second thought.

The headphones simply don't exist! I replaced my old Razer Kraken 7.1 v2 and switched to these because the Razer ones have cracked everywhere and the cable is broken. The build quality is amazing and the plastics don't creak or feel cheap. The ear cushions and headband are removable and can be replaced if they wear out. The cable is also removable and can be replaced if it breaks. The headphones are very comfortable and comfortable, which is something I really wanted in a gaming headset, due to the many hours of gaming every day. My ears don't get hot when I wear them. The RGB Ring on each headphone (Left & Right) is very beautiful and balanced, without reminding you of a cheap gaming headset that you buy for 20 euros. The paint is matte black, which easily gets dirty if your fingers are dirty. The headphones rest on your neck with the ear cushions touching your chest, for those who ask. The microphone retracts and the movement is very smooth. The Audio DAC it has with the mixer knob is of very good quality and quite small, so it doesn't take up much space on your desk. The sound is amazing! The bass is strong but not muddy (like the Razer), the mids are balanced and clear, and the highs are as they should be, without piercing your ears. The microphone is very good (even though it sounds bad in some reviews) and your friends will hear you crystal clear! Also, if you eat chips at night, you can whisper into the microphone and still be heard clearly and loudly (something the "high-quality" microphone of the Kraken couldn't do). I listen to music for many hours when I don't feel like playing, and the experience is perfect. The feature with the mixer knob, where I can choose what I want to hear more (Game or Voice Chat), is very useful for me, as we talk a lot on Discord while playing. The software is useful, stable, lightweight, and functional, not like the useless software that Razer had, which worked, but had a lot of bloatware and burdened the PC every time it was open. I can't find anything negative about this headset. I've been dreaming of the Arctis 5 for 2 years and I finally got them! If I can think of something I need to say, I'll do an update. As for whether I recommend them? GET THEM, WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT!

Btw, if you didn't know, the Arctis 5 is Discord Certified!
Also, they can be used on PS4, XBOX, and mobile/tablet, with the adapter provided by Steelseries in the box.

I mainly use them for PC gaming. The headphones are the best at €80.
Initially, I won't hide that I was a little concerned about the issue with the detachable cables, but in the end, they are stable, there is no chance of accidentally removing them.
To enjoy them, you definitely need the software, as you activate the 7.1 from there and have many options for both the headphones and the microphone.
Very nice and clear sound. The bass is not the strongest I have heard, but still (especially for gaming), too much bass becomes tiring.
Another great feature is the ability that the sound card gives you to adjust the sound between chat and the game, saving a lot of alt-tabbing and time.
As for the isolation of the space, if someone believes they want something better, they can buy the cushions they want from the company's website (e.g., leather ones). Btw, you can also change the elastic fabric on the top and play with the colors you want.
Along with the very nice and modest RGB detail it has, it can come and perfectly match your setup. A real gem.
Finally, you can connect an audio jack cable and use them on your mobile. However, it goes without saying that there is no RGB with an audio jack connection.

I haven't had them for long, but so far they are great. If anything changes, I will let you know. One small issue I found is that there is a possibility that if you have protruding ears, the top part of the headphones may touch your ears, but it is almost unnoticeable and sometimes it may surprise you, but it is never uncomfortable (I didn't find the comfort to be great because with headphones with leather cups like the Kraken, this doesn't happen. Of course, if you pay extra, you can also get leather cups for these headphones, but I don't think it's worth it). WARNING: it can be very annoying! Don't buy expensive things without trying them first, I probably made a mistake now, but only time will tell if I get used to them (Edit: I actually got used to them after a couple of days).

I have already ordered a pair of leather pads with a greater tilt towards the back from a Chinese website (I won't mention the name) and I am waiting for them to arrive so that I can tell you my opinion about whether the problem will be solved. Additionally, I have heard that these pads, because they are made of leather, can improve the bass. I will update the review after I receive them.

I received the leather pads and have had them for about 2 months. The problem has been solved, my ears no longer touch the headphones. However, the myth that the bass would increase turned out to be false
