There is absolutely no reason that we can think of as to why you shouldn’t own this headset. Some sounds that were well pronounced in stereo became thin and in some cases almost inaudible. With surround sound enabled, the audio became somewhat lack luster in my opinion. During a quick session, gunfire, NPC voices, radio chatter, and car engine noise were all easily distinguishable.Įxplosions were crisp and booming without being too over-the-top to the point where they were overwhelmed. It can get intense at times, so being able to hear everything clearly is very important. GTA V tends to have a lot going on, with things blowing up, gunfire ringing out, yelling, crashing, and/or jets flying overhead. As mentioned, the EQ remained flat in all tests, but this time around, we played an additional session with the DTS surround sound enabled to see just how immersive gaming could be. The games we chose to test the sound and positional audio quality of the Arctis 5 were Grand Theft Auto 5 for its multitude of layered sounds, and an old-time favorite, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which can push the player to determine where sounds are coming from at times. Now for the nitty-gritty – everyday usage scenarios in the form of playing games, watching movies, and listening to music.
