SteelSeries Arctis 5 (2019 Edition) 7.1 Surround* RGB Gaming Headset.

Difference btw original Arctis 5 and the 2019 Edition?
We listened to customers and made our amazing gaming headset even better. We made the cable from the ChatMix dial to the headset longer, increased the thickness of the ear cushions for greater comfort, and tweaked the sound for deeper bass output. All Arctis 5s now also include DTS Headphone:X v2.0, the latest surround sound technology from DTS..
