  • Build Quality, Audio Quality, Very Comfortable, Design, Audio Controls, Price
  • Positioning Audio In Movies Could Be Better, USB Soundcard only, Finish
  • Testing the P531 Surround Headset by Arctic was a nice flashback since it was just like using the same exact unit as with 2 months ago, minus of course the nice rubber coating of the Sandberg headset. So the P531 headset proved to be as comfort...

  • It’s not often that I regret purchases I’ve made, since I enjoy doing research before plunking down what little cash I have. After using the P531’s, I am regretting all the money I sunk into the Creative Fatality sound card and gaming headphones. I...

  • Comfortable, Adjustable, 5.1 Surround
  • Uncomfortable after a while for those with glasses, In-line volume adjust for rear, sub, center channels doesn't seem to do much

  • Abstract:  I am not an audio-head. When I buy speakers or headphones, I try to find something I like, but I also keep a close eye on price. These headphones (especially the P301) easily satisfy my goals of good sound, good comfor..
