Arctic P533 Racing Stereo Headset
Introduction
Even though Arctic have been in the industry for over a decade and well known for their cooling products, we were first introduced to their audio products way back in 2016 when we reviewed their ARCTIC SOUND P531. Having been quite impressed with the product we were quite excited at being given the opportunity to review one of their newest additions, the Arctic P533 Racing Stereo Headset.
While sound quality is important to any audio device, one of the key aspects I look for with any audio headset is comfort. No matter how good it sounds, it simply makes no sense if you aren’t able to wear the device for too long. We shall see how well the Arctic P533 Racing fares in that front as we go through the review. For some reason Arctic seem to have dropped producing headsets with USB connectivity since they last produced the P531, which is simply an observation and not a criticism. Which connectivity is better is debatable as both have their own merits and drawback. I won’t touch on the subject as you’ll find enough references to this online (Google is your friend).
