Arctis Nova 5X Wireless - Xbox Gaming Headset - 100+ Audio Presets via App - Neodymium Magnetic Drivers - 60H Battery - 2.4GHz/BT - ClearCast Gen2.X Mic - Supports PC, PS, Mobile

EDIT: If you're using this headset on PC there's a little switch on the back of the dongle, change this from XBOX to USB and you will now have the option for Discord Certified inside the Discord audio/video options, this avoids all the issues I had in the beginning. I've been using the AN5X for a few days now, which replaced my broken Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 and overall I prefer it over the more expensive Razer headset. I'll get the bad out of the way first though, and that's the microphone, it's slightly above average for a wireless headset but it's a noticeable downgrade over my Blackshark, it's not even in the same league. I also had major issues with it on Discord, all of my friends commented on how awful I sounded, but when I recorded myself it sounded fine, after a lot of frustration I discovered that I needed to disable noise gate and noise suppression built into Discord, as they seem to conflict with the Sonar software, after doing this my microphone improved 100x, but as I said earlier, it's still not amazing. I would also advise enabling compressor in Sonar and maxing it out, otherwise you'll be extremely quiet on Discord even at 200% volume. I would like to see Steelseries and Discord work together to add the AN5X to the certified list, this would remove the frustration I initially went through. Now onto the good, the headset is very comfortable, the ear pads are extremely soft and even with my big head they fit perfectly with almost no clamping force at all. I can game all day without any ear or head pain at all. Sound quality is good and bad, out of the box they're okay but luckily the Sonar software has the best EQ I've ever used, you can very precisely customize the sound and really bring out the potential of the headset. I would highly recommend that you check out the Youtube channel GadgetryTech, his EQ settings for music made a massive difference, music went from sounding decent to incredible, it was truly night and day. You can also switch between Bluetooth and wireless with a press of a button, so you can use your headset on PC or console and instantly switch to your phone for a call or to listen to music, this works much more seamlessly than on the Blackshark. The Sonar software is very competent and feature rich (on PC at least, you get far less features if you're using the headset on Xbox), and the AN5X comes with over 30 pre-installed EQ presets for different games, with some hits, and some misses. I personally use the Diablo IV, Call of Duty and Fallout 76 ones and they've all been great. I would recommend leaving spatial audio off though, as with all fake surround sound it just doesn't sound right, turning it off keeps the audio pure. I would also increase the clearcast AI noise cancellation to 75%, as my friends could hear me doing stuff in the background at the default 50%. I can't speak to the build quality or durability as I've only had the headset a few days, but it does feel very cheap as it's almost all plastic, which does make it very light (which is a positive in my book), but I cannot say if it will hold up to the test of time, my advice would be to treat it like a newborn baby. One last thing is noise isolation, this is personal preference whether it's a positive or a negative but it doesn't have the best noise isolation, so you can hear yourself speak and other noise around you, which I personally prefer, but if you want full isolation this isn't the headset for you, that being said it does cancel out a decent amount of background noise, just not all of it, and noticeably less than my Blackshark. I think it's the perfect middle ground, where you're not hearing every little thing but you can still hear someone speaking to you or the doorbell ringing. Overall for the price it's a great headset, you could make an argument for a high 4/5 or low 5/5. With a better microphone it would be an absolute slam dunk 5/5. I would have preferred it to retail at £150 MSRP with a better mic, but I'm very conscious of how my mic sounds so I don't become the "bad mic" guy on Discord.

Great lightweight headset, works flawlessly with my Xbox Series X. Comfortable to wear, decent battery life and a good selection of volume controls and application features. Connects via Bluetooth and 2.4. Not as good as my Hyper X Cloud Alpha wireless with it's 300 hour battery, but I needed a decent lightweight headset for playing on the console lay down so this headset doesn't get in the way or make my head/ears really sweaty. It's not the most premium quality but it feels durable enough, only time will tell. Not sure if the microphone is replaceable if it breaks which is a negative if not, I do prefer detachable microphones. The receiver dongle is atrocious quality and a very strange shape, would be much better if it was USB-A and shaped like the usual stick receivers, that way it could plug directly into the console, not sure why they picked USB-C. The receiver is extremely flimsy and feels like it won't take much at all to snap it. I have mine plugged into the back of an RGB console stand and I've not noticed any audio delay or reduction in quality over running a cable from the Xbox and plugging it into that.

Really happy with this headset. - I like how it works on Xbox Series consoles and PlayStation 5 as I play on both of them. - It’s over ear so your ears fit nicely inside making it comfier. - Light build but isn't flimsy. - Very good battery life. - Audio quality is very good and can hear everything games have to offer (footsteps and bass for example). - The steelseries arctis companion app is great as you can set audio presets for whichever game you play and gives the best audio quality for that specific game. Overall I’d say this headset is good for the price and I’ve had no issues so far (had for a few months).

Honestly the steelseries line of headsets are fantastic for the feature set offered BUT the build quality is definitely not what I'd recommend especially at this price point it's made of plastic everywhere no metal for ridgidity or strength. The sound is the signature steelseries sound and mic is of great quality, some of the best. The mic is clear and crisp the speakers are clear but not too overpowering in the bass like a beats speaker or turtle beach for instance. These are good headphones for console but the feature set really comes alive on pc with steelseries GG Comfort wise they are very light due to all the plastic used and are relatively comfortable although I would say sizing wise made for smaller heads. Functionally the Xbox variant works on all systems, connecting to Xbox playstation and pc with the flick of a switch on the dongle.

It’s a lovely headset that sits comfortably on my head and ears, even with glasses you’re good. Going from wired to this wireless headset has been a night and day difference. Can freely roam with these on anywhere. The thousands of EQ profiles u can select from the app or you can create for yourself is a game changer. The Mic pop in mechanic makes it so that you can take it outside and use it as regular headphones for listening to whatever you like

Great mid range headset - personal opinion of course but I think the best at its price range. Just buy it with confidence. It’s a great wireless headset equally good with Xbox as PC and the multiple, multiple, individual game settings work really well and are easy to set using the free app. As I said just buy one

Great for Xbox fits well and comfortable with great battery life, only problem I had was with the Party/game volume option which I have to set to minimum to still hear my Party while the game will still be pretty loud. This may only be affected on certain games as I play arc raiders still works fine however. Great audio quality!

sounds good. but very little adjustment room. After 10 minuets i found them to be very uncomfortable

Razer Blackshark V2 x kablolu kulaklık kullanıyordum kablosu kötü durumdaydı. Uzun zamandır kablosuz arayışındaydım baktım indirime girmiş 4600 civarına aldım steelseriesi. Kulaklık gerçekten harika kablosuz kullanmak çok iyiymiş. Kulaklığın sol kısımdaki tekerlğiyle ses kısma arttırma var bu normal tabi ama sağdaki tekerlek ile oyun seslerini kısıp discordda arkadaşınızın sesini kısmadan çok rahat konuşabiliyorsunuz. Ben bunu ilk defa gördüğüm için çok hoşuma gitti. Kulaklığın birçok ayarı var baya kurcalamak lazım. Ben bazır ayarlanmış profillerden kullanıyorum sonra ince detaylarını yapıcam. Kulaklığın tek sıkıntısı bana göre benim kafam mı büyük bilmiyorum sıkıyor gibi. Kulaklarıma sıcaklık basıyor gibi ilk kullandığımda bunaltmıştı hatta başıma döner gibi olduydu. Kumaşından dolayımı sıcaklık basıyor bilmiyorum. Biraz esnetiyom bazen daha alalı 1 gün oldu. Biraz kullanınca alışırım diye düşünüyorum umarım biraz daha esner yoksa hiç iade etmek istemiyorum gerçekten çok sevdim. Tek korkum kulak pedi beyaz kumaş olduğu için çok kirlenir mi emin değilim umarım sararmaz. Siyah indirimde olsaydı iyi olcaktı ama beyaz pc kasamla çok güzel uyumlu oldular.
