steelseries Arctis 5 Mic Test | PC Gaming Headset Review

In this video I take a look at the #steelseries #Arctis5 PC Gaming headset
Given that this headset is at the low to mid range of the steelseries line up, it is actually pretty good. The audio is clear and precise and the clearcast mic is a serious contender at the price point.
I take a look at whats in the box, a quick look at the build quality and test the mic. A 5 minute section of the video is recorded using the headset. with OBS at stock settings processed at +3db to normalise the audio.
You can buy the steelseries Arctis 5 Gaming headset through my Amazon Affiliate link here: amzn.to/3lUKNPy

this guy is so underrated. he reviews tech items so well and he edits his videos so professionally.

[@rfinaufall128]

yea he's pretty underrated, i mean he just joined youtube on feb 2020, and gained pretty much 1,5k subs..

[@rxtraluv]

@@rfinaufall128 at the time i posted this comment he only had around 500 subs so chill.

[@afterstory791]

True

[@Jade_Shadow]

@@rxtraluv he is not saying anything wrong

[@Mute_221]

dude not gonna lie that was so fast for getting to the point of what people wanted to see I like it, and it feels like your the first youtube reviewer video that says this product in amount of a short min. rather than the others who took a couple.

[@vinegarolive]

Damn bro nice production quality, expected you to have ~15k subs or something, came to check out mic test

[@ApplicableTech]

Thanks man! 👍

[@thataznnxtdoor9078]

Extremely disappointed by the fact that you only have 588 subs. I'm baffled when I first saw that. Enjoyed the video really solidified my decision in buying this headset.

[@ApplicableTech]

Thank you! 👍

[@Lyrixify]

I really like the way you do this review, I just found out about your channel and was pleasantly surprised by the nice quality and editing. What I like the most is how fast paced it all is, you just keep spitting out information nonstop in a quick manner compared to every other Tech Review KZbinr and I'm all for it! I usually speed up every tech review video to 2x speed because its all too slow for me but this is just the perfect pace! Keep it up! :)

[@cryp7995]

0:30 mic test

[@wizik4059]

I found his video right on point, normally I look for this type of comment, did not have to this time. Really good review, looks like you edit pretty well your videos. thanks for that

[@dr.mohammed1413]

A new subscriber from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 , Keep going bro 💪🏼

[@ApplicableTech]

Thank you 🙌

[@robsontv5549]

why you have only 1,22k subs? you should already have 500k

[@raymendoza2199]

"A feeling sensation you get from down there" ah yes, this is about sound

[@raymendoza2199]

Just got my Arctis 5 today btw! Thanks for ur review, really solidified my decision making as an indecisive guy

[@thecanadian9105]

@@raymendoza2199 is it really good? Do you play any games like (R6 or CS:GO) Would you recommend it?

[@ParmZens]

@@thecanadian9105 I have them and I play R6, Cold war CS:Go an Di would definitely recommend even for console

[@yopi.senpai4394]

This is the first time I watched a whole review video

[@ZerixDaGod]

Holy i thought u had like 100k subs definitely underrated

[@ryanpickard8065]

I've got to agree with you on the audio test. I have one and it's very poor at directional quality. I'm looking to upgrade to something better but I'm not sure what to get. Great video btw 👍

[@dhennywahyuditaruna1648]

Cooler master mh650 is a great deal

[@VeNoM___34]

EXTREMELY underrated!

[@zfighterreeo918]

[@zfighterreeo918]

also the music in the back is just so soothing like i dont wanna leave this video. it has this feeling of like i am in the mideveal era like fighting with a sword and a shield and just enjoying peace with nature while plays in the background.

[@LineageView]

The editing on the video was so polished, and I’m loving seeing how this channel has progressed. Fkn fantastic job my dude, you’re killing it💪🏻

[@sitirobiahbintiomarkpm-gur9145]

hope youtube should recommend this channel soon

[@sayemmahmud7991]

this guy deserves more likes. love this video thank you for posting this

[@Lavlaa]

Nice review man! Thank you very helpful.

[@haz1101]

The mic is excellent when you use the beta sonar software

[@richiezubiri3385]

hi do you think this is alright to be used for work from home setup too? like to cancel out noisy surroundings off the mic?

[@ultraali453]

This is a great review, I loved it

[@omaa11]

thanks for the review

[@reflexpcs]

Thank You Man!!

[@shyra1613]

Nice reviewww. New subscriber!

[@NurulhaziraJasni]

I just bought a steel series arctis 5. Why is the microphone barely detecting my voice? T_T I have spent hours trying to configure this issue but to no avail

[@xandersoriano201]

Love actual test. Love it

[@treyrosales4698]

cool review. helped alot. thanks

[@ApplicableTech]

Glad it helped and thank you👍

[@RobG-tg8ey]

Hi what is the difference between arctis 5 2019 and 2021

[@byronrealestate]

I have one question does this headset has sound that bleeds thru the microphone because my current headphones do that and it's super annoying and I'm looking for something that won't do that

[@3mn422]

Thx for this man

[@steenpeen8517]

how does he make this good of content,for only 600 PEOPLE .Honestly so good also can sag for the editing

[@adamwhetren2848]

Does it work with Xbox? Also great video, definitely deserve more subs!

[@ApplicableTech]

Yes it does but the chat to game mixer does not. you need to wire into the controller.

[@hakdognijuan7380]

is this headphone good for suppressing background noises? cuz I'm thinking to buy one

[@DaanvdBurg-ho1gn]

my only issue with this this mic is that it picks up my breathing. Do you know a fix for this?

[@ZenithKO]

For some reason when I try to use it, it never connects to my laptop. I used a splitter that came with it but the headset mic option in settings disappeared. Any advice how to fix it?

[@juanrivero6120]

Bro which is better in terms of quality, Corsair void elite usb or steel series arctis 5? (I’ve heard arctis 5 surround is not good at all)

[@fr0styduffman556]

Can you please explain the settings you used? I have problems regarding clarity on mine and people hear me rather badly

[@franzaraneta1924]

Let's help this guy to get more subscribers. He deserve 1m+ subscribers.

[@aaronocallaghan7726]

Is this headset goood for gaming? (FPS games )

[@tiotito31]

It sounds like the mic really picks up your saliva click-clacking happening in your mouth. I don't know if that's impressive or bad quality

[@simplynear4399]

ikr lmao I think that’s a good thing

[@Thescreamingsheep01]

I think it only if you put the mic sensitivity up

[@oreo_reoreo895]

That's how noise-cancellation works. It's impressive tho that i only can hear the voice and very much clear completely cancelled all background noise.

[@Gabyy99]

Does this one have better mic than the 9?

[@noisenoys]

Just subscribed. Your review is good. Im with you with the 7.1 thing. I think its shitty and like u said if the sound is loud its rumble. So for me, ill use the headset default settings and 7.1 turn off

[@donkeyking4758]

U deserve my sub

[@lpamkinl2065]

can you use this on Android phone?

[@mioranwar9205]

the mic test was amazing. Just not sure about the sound quality. Now i don't know whether i shud go for ss or razer hmmmm

[@LordTemplestt]

ss are professional and cheaper, razer don't know what they doing and make headsets worse than ss because they have less experience

[@Glozingxd]

My sounds different why?

[@sulvro4590]

I've been trying to get my hands on these but they are sold out.

[@Walnut_Unbroken]

Can you hear what's going on in the room around you? Are they an "open-backed" headset?

[@zachdurocher1166]

The ear pads are a light foam/fabric, so you can hear some noise from outside

[@zeliph]

What's the best all around equalizer preset do you use when it comes this headset? Particularly for FPS games?

[@sparrow6110]

Well?

[@zeliph]

@@sparrow6110 Well what? No one had really answered my question.

[@differentiel3166]

Give him 1M SUBS PLEASE

[@rubies211]

Hi i was wondering. I use discord only on my phone. And i do need a new headset. With good lic for discord ofcourse. But yea the program... its not for the phone so is that an issue? Also can i put the cable in my phone?

[@Kawiee]

there is a cable for you to put on your phone, but aint going to lie i had problems with the mic and ended up not using it for discord on my phone lol

[@tech4now_]

This or the Arctic 1 wired?

[@triplesixpluggin]

this is epic review

[@ajortsac8043]

this or g733?

[@haziqprokiller]

Should i get arctis 5 or arctis 1 wireless? because at my place they're pretty much the same price

[@ApplicableTech]

Depends what you value the most -the convenience of wireless (or) the better audio and mic quality of wiring in. the Arctis 5 is a better headset and the Arctis 1 wireless is more convenient. 👍

[@astrallarium]

How do you have the steelseries logo not illuminated?

[@xulse]

The version where the logo was illuminated is I believe 2016. Theres a new arctis 5 2019 version which has a bit of improvements (Including the logo not being illuminated)

[@astrallarium]

@@xulse yeah I realized that soon after posting my commment, sucks that this headset won't go on sale....

[@pmpalihena]

Anyone have issues with mic sidetone in Arctic 5? Doesn't matter I have it off, low, medium, or high, I can still hear my voice. I thought you won't be able to hear your voice when it set to off? Anyone know of a solution?

[@Rehtzu]

Will u sell me these I’ve been trying to get my hands on these but they are sold out

[@alexanderduvill6878]

my arctis 5 mic is so shit idk why this guys sounds so much better

[@remujkn]

I got a Logitech headset ad lol

[@symbol1059]

This or Blackshark v2?

[@ApplicableTech]

Not tested the Blackshark V2 yet. will be reviewing it in the coming weeks and will also make a comparison vid👍

[@differentiel3166]

Under 1k subs??

Haha feeling from down there.

bruh my dose't even turn on

[@TeezyFFA]

Did you plug it in?

i can put this video in 2160p 4k :)

[@VuthavadooVikshay]

My friend has this and his mic is shit, but he is on Xbox

[@Joseee_G]

i have a question... will you be able to edit the software for this headset on a macbook? bc i don’t own a pc and i’m planning to use this headset for my ps4

[@yasin4949.]

Can i use it with ps4 ?

[@yahirsalgado8664]

Yeah just plug in the usb to the ps4 or the to the headphone jack.the usb is for the rgb light

[@O.3219]

Yes, it comes with a 3 mill meter jack or whatever, u plug it into ur controller and it works.

[@CHS_BLue]

@@O.3219 I just bought one can people hear your controller or keyboard clicks in the background or is it alright
