SteelSeries Arcris 5 any good?

[Varpin]

Hello!

 

Can someone tell me is the SteelSeries Arctis 5 headset any good? I like listening to music with a lot off bass and using 7.1 surround sound in some games.

 

Thank you!

the 7.1 is absolutely trash

 

but the sound is very nice when you use music preset. 3/5/7 have the same sound drivers, and I own the 7. 

 

see if you can get the leather earcups if the stock ones give you discomfort.

All I know about these is that they use the same drivers as their 840 headset, formerly the H wireless, so I'd expect them to sound great. As for the 7.1 (in general), it might help you for certain games, but turn it the hell off for music.
