Arctis challenges everything you know about gaming headsets with completely overhauled audio, a new mic design with unmatched clarity, and improved comfort with materials inspired by athletic clothing. Arctis 5 brings pure performance and style, featuring SteelSeries 7.1 Surround Sound..FeaturesS1 Speaker DriversOur goal: create a soundscape that provides a natural and accurate reproduction of all sounds, not just explosions. We started with the same high performance, low-distortion driver from our best-selling 300 flagship headset. After a significant amount of time prototyping and tuning the Arctis soundscape, we created a headset that sounds amazing for all types of games, movies, music & everything else.SteelSeries 7.1 SurroundTo enjoy 7.1 surround sound gamers have typically had to choose a USB-enabled headset. Arctis 3 shatters that idea, delivering an immersive surround experience via SteelSeries Engine in an analog headset.Airweave Ear CushionsInspired by athletics apparel, we invented AirWeave fabric ear cushions that are insanely cool and soft to the touch. Memory foam is wrapped in the breathable, moisture-wicking fabric coated with a special thermoplastic material that provides noise isolation. This breakthrough design keeps you cool and dry while providing the noise blocking needed to focus on the game.Ski Goggle HeadbandThe elastic fabric perfectly contours across your head, evenly distributing the weight, eliminating all pressure points. Easily adjust the tension of the band for a perfect fit and comfort for even the longest gaming sessions.ClearCast MicrophoneEvery gaming headset has been using the wrong microphone. Even us. Until now, nobody ever went back to the beginning and challenged the status quo. All Arctis models feature a bidirectional ClearCast microphone. This re-engineered noise-canceling mic delivers incredibly clear voice communication, focusing on the users speech while acoustically eliminating virtually all background noise. ClearCast is setting a new bar in gaming microphones, against which all future headsets will be compared.ComfortOur goal with Arctis was to create a lightweight headset so comfortable, you\'ll forget youre wearing it. We went back to the drawing board and stripped down all the unnecessary components, leaving us with a minimalistic design thats more efficient at suspending the headset while being as light as possible.Technical SpecificationsSPEAKER DRIVERSNeodymium Drivers 40mmHeadphone Frequency Response 20-22000 HzHeadphone Sensitivity 98dbHeadphone Impedance 32 OhmHeadphone Total Harmonic Distortion < 3%Headphone Volume Control On Ear CupMICROPHONEMicrophone Frequency Response 100Hz - 10000HzMicrophone Pattern BidirectionalMicrophone Sensitivity -48 dbMicrophone Impedance 2200 OhmMicrophone Noise Cancellation YesMicrophone Location RetractableMicrophone Mute Toggle On Ear CupCONNECTIONConnector Type Dual 3.5mm, 3-Pole Plug or Single 3.5mm, 4-Pole Plug via included adapterCable Length 3m, 10ftCable Material RubberAdapter Single 3.5mm, 4-Pole PlugShare Jack YesDetachable Cable YesArctis IntroductionArctis 3Main CableDual 3.5mm Extension Cable3.5mm 4-Pole Adapter
