“STEELSERIES HAS GENERALLY PUT OTHER HEADSET MANUFACTURERS TO SHAME WHEN IT COMES TO COMFORT, AND THE ARCTIS 5 IS NO EXCEPTION.”
ARCTIS 5
“THE EXCLUSIVE BIDIRECTIONAL MIC DESIGN RESULTS IN UNMATCHED VOICE CLARITY AND ALMOST COMPLETE BACKGROUND NOISE CANCELLATION.”
If you're among those who are working from home for the foreseeable future, chances are you need a headset for video conferencing or, more importantly, virtual happy hours. Here's a good choice: Gamestop is currently selling the PUBG Edition of the SteelSeries Arctis 5 gaming headset for $60, which is a decent price for the sound and comfort you'll get.
SteelSeries Arctis headsets all use retractable ClearCast bidirectional microphones, which kill background noise fairly well, so people on your call don’t hear your obnoxious fan or TV during your essential business thing. Another reason we recommend the Arctis series is comfort: The Arctic 5 is feels excellent to wear even over long periods.
Also, imagine all the fun you'll have explaining to your coworkers why your headset says 'Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.' [Alright, that's not exactly a plus.] For gaming, the Arctis 5 offers DTS Surround Sound, which provides pretty good positional audio, and controls on the ear cup. An all-around good choice, for the price.
This gaming headset features DTS Headphone:X v2.0 Surround for headphones, as well as RGB lighting and PUBG theme. The USB headset features a Discord-certified voice mic with an inline dial to adjust chat and game sounds without needing to tab out of your
If you're not into the PUBG theme of the headset, the good news is when you wear it, you won't even see it! But at this price, I'd personally be willing to look past any stylistic choices I might not agree with, just to hook myself up with a versatile, highly-rated set of headphones.
They have RGB support, too. Did I mention that? I'm a huge fan of RGB lighting on my PC components. I would drape myself in RGB if it were socially acceptable.
With so many people at home right now, and Steam breaking records for numbers of concurrent gamers, PC gaming is bigger now than it's ever been. If you want to upgrade your headphone game and save, I highly recommend jumping on this headset deal right now, or check out our list of the best cheap gaming headsets.

Are SteelSeries Arctis 5 good for gaming?
The SteelSeries Arctis 5 is an attractive gaming headset that's light and comfortable with sound profiles that do well with gaming and other types of media too. Gamers won't be disappointed with this headset, but I preferred how it sounded with movies.
Is the Arctis 5 good for Xbox?
A: It is compatible with the Xbox One. The box comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack adapter to plug right up to the controller.
Is Arctis 5 good for PS5?
Even if you currently connect to your PS4 via optical, you can simply connect a single USB cable to enjoy both game and chat audio on PS5. Your Arctis headset, whether connected via USB or 3.5mm, will be able to take advantage of PlayStation's new 3D audio capabilities!
Is Arctis 5 better than 3?
The Arctis 3 are more versatile since they are Bluetooth-compatible, making them more outdoor-friendly. The Arctis 5 also have channel mixing, but they don't have the excellent microphone of the Arctis 3.
