Arctic Sound P531 Surround Sound Gaming Headset

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 see how their top of the range gaming headset performs.

Today we are going to look at the Arctic Sound P531 headset which boasts a number of exciting features which we will be testing. These include four individual driver units in each earcup and an inbuilt USB soundcard which lets you adjust the levels of each channel using the in-line control.
