  • Even though Arctic Sound are a new entrant to the audio arena they have done a remarkable job with this P531 gaming headset. Don’t let the cheap price fool you as they certainly surpass most high-end headsets that are double or more in price. I truly...

  • 5.1 surround sound, Great to hear low bass that's usually lacking in headphones, Vibration effect gives you some extra immersion in your games, Reasonable price tag!, Performed very well for everything that is offered for the price
  • I felt the ear cup fit could be improved on
  • For under $70, the Arctic Sound P531 is actually a pretty good buy if you want a good performing 5.1 surround headset without the high price of premium sounding models. The P531 performed and sounded exceptionally well for it's price. Sound quality was...

  • Good sound reproduction, Very adjustable, should be able to fit any head, Reasonably comfortable, considering the number of speakers in each earcup, Brings gaming to life!!, Cord length is a good size if your system is under your desk, Comfortable for long gaming sessions, MSRP is very competitive with other 5.1 headsets.
