Kitguru: So the SteelSeries Spectrum 5XB headset performs well and is a very good quality product on the whole. The only thing that lets it down is the slightly cheap looking finish which we wouldn’t usually associate with SteelSeries. But the flexibility of being able to dismantle the headset when travelling is welcomed and comfort is as good as the rest of their range.
As with all SteelSeries’ products though, the 5XB doesn’t exactly come cheap. At a shade over £60 at Lambda-tek, it is certainly in a different price bracket to other alternatives but we feel that it provides quite reasonable value for money at this price, especially considering the AudioMixer unit alone costs around £20.
This looks great. From the makers of Arctis, the most awarded audio line in gaming, SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, today introduces the special-edition Dragon Arctis Nova 7 series headset.
Looks like another winner for SteelSeries. From the makers of Arctis, the most awarded audio line in gaming, SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, today introduces the special-edition Arctis Nova 7 white collection. Elite performance comes standard.

Audeze Maxwell are the best. The 90mm Planar magnets create a much better soundstage.
I love my arctis 7+. Great sound, ergonomics, and long lasting battery. Steel series is a great brand for headphones I'd recommend.
I had both and preferred the Artcis. It’s more comfortable and sounds about the same.

Well if it sounds the same I'll save my money then. Already own sonys headset with 3d audio

Sorry I was wrong. I had the Arctis 7 not the Nova 4 so I can’t make judgement. The Arctis 7 did sound better than the Pulse 3D now that I think about it and they were more comfortable.
If you want a big step up in sound quality and mic quality go for the Audeze Maxwell. The 90mm Planar magnetic drivers have an amazing soundstage. Probably the the best sounding gaming headset on the market.

I'll continue sticking with my A50S until they, inevitably, break. Then I'll see what's on the market.
