The ChatMix dial is the feature worth singling out. On the inline control you can hear your own voice mixed into the output while the microphone is still routed to the game, which is a real problem for anyone who has ever unmuted to hear themselves and then forgotten to mute again. The ski-goggle headband distributes weight without the clamping of a conventional band, the mic retracts into the cup so it cannot snag, and USB means surround and EQ work without extra software.
The headset that stays on the PC. It is the one I put on for work calls where I want to switch between audio and voice without touching Windows settings.
This is the original wired Arctis 5, not the newer Arctis Nova — there is no battery and no wireless, which the Nova's naming makes easy to get wrong. 40mm is on the small side for an over-ear and the sound is less detailed than the Logitech's 50mm unit. The cloth earpads are cooler than leather but collect sweat.
