With premium gaming headsets costing north of $100, the lower price tag on the Arctic Sound P531 did raise a bit of eyebrows over here. At first, I wasn't really expecting a very good gaming experience from the headset let alone some decent movie and musi...
Abstrakt: Though Arctic is new to the audio industry side of things, this was not a bad first try. So, let's take a look at this product's features:This product came with a couple accessories:From the first look at this headset, it seemed more cons stood out than p...
Starting with performance, music was overall quite mediocre on the P531. Again, this wasn't too surprising as music is recorded in stereo and simply doesn't work too well with any true 5.1 surround sound headsets on the market at the moment. Personally I ...

Software had to be manually installed, used device manager to update driver from disk Could not find software online to download newer version (if any) Software interface could use some work Via Arctic
Uncomfortable after a while for those with glasses, In-line volume adjust for rear, sub, center channels doesn't seem to do much
After using the headset for a while I found it to be comfortable to use for short periods of time. The sound was great and I enjoyed the surround experience. The headset not only dampens all the noise around you, but also dampens the sound coming out o...
