What this does is force an upconversion of the music’s 2 channel input to a 6 channel output, which, as expected, isn’t exactly optimal. Performance Test 1: MusicĪRCTIC recommends that the input channels be set to 2 and the output channels set to 6 for music. Unlike other premium headsets we’ve reviewed, it’s not gold plated, but I doubt this will affect the performance of the headset in any way. The headset uses its own internal sound card so it’s no surprise to see that it comes with a USB connector. There’s no clip or anything of the sort to attach it to your shirt to prevent it from swinging. The dongle is quite large and has a LED in the center that lights up during operation. The inline volume control allows fine adjustment of the rear, front, center and subwoofer levels as well as a mic switch and a master volume control. Also, the microphone needs to be swiveled down a little to allow the ear cups to fold into place. When folded, the microphone protrudes out on the side. The ear cups are capable of being folded in for easy transport. Here, we can see probably why the microphone arm is so flexible. The headset also features a fold-able design. The mic can be swiveled 135º and be stored away when not in use.
The microphone arm attached to the left ear cup is long and extremely flexible. The headphones can extend up to 3.5cm to accommodate all head sizes. Additionally, the hinge of the headset is plastic but feels durable. The entire headset is finished in a matte finish, so you won’t need to worry about fingerprints smudging your headset. The headset is constructed entirely out of plastic and features no metallic components anywhere.

Since this is a true 5.1 surround sound headset, this means that there’s actually 3 drivers and a subwoofer in each earcup. Although the earpads are quite thick, they are much smaller than I expected.

The inside of the box contains the headset itself, and a little package containing a warranty information booklet and the driver disk. From the see through plastic we can see the headset, the in line dongle, and the USB connector. Of course, as long as the headset arrives without damage, we don’t really care either. A Closer LookĪlthough this is ARCTIC’s premium grade headset, the box isn’t too sturdy. Finally, it’s also worth noting that ARCTIC has decided to include a 2 year warranty on the P531 instead of the one year that many other manufactures tend to include. At 462g the P531 is twice as heavy as the Razer Charcharias (225g), which will make it more difficult to wear for long periods of time. With all those drivers, one additional concern of course is the weight. This is due to the fact that it has multiple drivers in each earcup, and including three large drivers and a subwoofer is practically impossible given the space available. Quickly looking at the specifications, what’s interesting here is that the P531 has drivers that are typically smaller than most stereo headsets, including its little brother the P301 headset. Other features include thick breathable cloth ear pads, a foldable design, and an integrated vibration unit in the earcups that vibrate when the battle heats up in games and movies to help create additional immersion.Ĭan the P531 truly bring the amazing level of 5.1 surround sound ARCTIC claims? Lets find out! Specifications With 4 drivers in each earcup, the P531 is unique in that it’s capable of bringing true 5.1 surround sound audio in a market where most headsets that claim 5.1 or 7.1 audio instead offer simulated 5.1 or 7.1 over 2.0 only.

Since then, I’ve been hard at work here testing another ARCTIC Sound product, the ARCTIC Sound P531 True 5.1 Surround Sound Headset.Īdvertised as “the most professional computer headset and literally elevates gamers to a new dimension of sounds”, the P531 is targeted at the enthusiast gaming market while still maintaining a reasonably competitive price point. True 5.1 Surround Sound at a BudgetĪ couple weeks ago, I received the opportunity to review the ARCTIC Sound P301 Professional Headset and while it wasn’t the best headset I’ve had the opportunity of testing, it was definitely among the best in its price class.
