  • Abstract:  Surround sound headsets are often more practical than a home theater system attached to your PC. We compare eight premium models from Arctic, Psyko, Cooler Master, Logitech, Creative, Thermaltake, Corsair, and Razer to figure out who sells the top opti...

  • Abstract:  We recently looked at one of Arctic's latest headsets, the P311 which was designed for use with Bluetooth devices such as smartphones, tablets and notebooks. This provided a great compromise between portability, functionality and price so we're excited to...

  • What Arctic have produced is a pair of speakers that they have decided belongs strapped to your head for some reason. The complexity of the volume control means that achieving optimum sound quality quickly is out of the question. I found myself using...

  • Nice long cord, Inline controls, Excellent sound overall, Good bass and treble, Good noise isolation, Great design and construction
  • Heavier than most other headsets
  • The ARTIC P531 headset is very well made, it’s got a solid construction and decent design. They look good and they feel good wearing them. They are plastic but they don’t have a cheap feel to them like some headsets do because of all of the plastic th...
