    Great sound!
    3 out of 5 stars
    Great sound!
    My old Creative 5.1 speakers finally died after 13+ years of use. Not a lot of options these days. And with mobos losing their dedicated 5.1 audio ports, I decided to try these out. And boy, am I impressed by the sound! Deep, thundering bass. Crystal highs. Smooth minds. Now, these aren't like audiophile quality, these are desktop speakers. So impressive for the format. And because it all runs off of a single USB port.What I don't like is the software. It's pretty bad. Can't get the lighting to work like I want, and it's very bright. So I just disable that. No controls for ANY of the speakers except the sub (volume knob on the back). The upmix 5.1 is a joke. All 5 speakers play the same thing, just quieter and with a slight delay. If you want to use the different options for games, media, and the like, you are forced to go in to your Windows sound section and select it, app won't do it for you.If the software worked perfectly, or the price was a lot lower, these would be a great buy. But as it stands, these are only for those who need them. I won't use headphones, need to hear the world around me too. So speakers like these are a nessessity for me. I do recommend them though if you want true 5.1 surround sound for gaming and TV/movies. They excel at that. Just don't expect to fine tune them at all.

    Do these sound amazing compared to a good set of cans. No, but they still sound very good. I had an old Logitech set, and a Mackie soundbar with sub. They sounded good, but always left me wanting. If you can get these on sale, I’d say they are worth it. The Bluetooth functionality, the equalizer, the ease of setup all make this worth the price. Movies sound great, depending on the quality of what you are watching. Music sounds good, but the bass is lacking. And you really need to use the equalizer. Games, not sure yet. Definitely happy with the purchase.

    Style: Arena 3Verified Purchase
    I tend to prefer creative speaker solutions, and I own there t40's, t40 II's, and their katana soundbar. I really like the t40's but as I moved to a three monitor setup, they were just too tall, so I have recycled them to my grandma's computer, and my work pc, and that's when I got the katana.

    I use the katana as my primary audio, and I purchased the logitech mx sound 2.0 speakers in 2019 as secondary speakers that I use for my streaming music, netflix, nba pass, youtube, etc while gaming. The primary reason for choosing these speakers is that they fit under my monitors, but they have an issue where the energy savings technology will turn them off at low volume. So periodically I have to wave my hand at the right speaker to reactivate them because they are motion sensing energy saving nightmare.

    I have been home for a week after gallbladder surgery, and the logitech speakers touched my last nerve, they had to go. So I'm shopping around, none of the creative options were quite what I wanted. I like razers new nommo vx2 form factor, but they lack 3.5mm, and headphone i/o so they were out.

    I considered edifier, audioengine, mackie, presonus, all have various pro/cons, but then I saw these steel series arena 3's, they are about the same width as the logitech's, and taller, but fit under my side monitors with an inch of clearance. While checking out reviews, and specs, I discovered an incredible feature that solves a major issue with desktop speakers. When you plug in headphones, which is often behind the speakers, and annoying, this disables the speakers. The arena 3's have a selector so you can leave your headphones plugged in which solves the issue of having to plug, and unplug your headset when you want to use them which is fantastic. I absolutely love this feature. You can tell the engineers are real gamers, or they remember when this kind of basic functionality was standard stuff since before I was born in the 80's.

    They sound good, I can watch content at low volume with good clarity while playing games on my katana soundbar, so it solves my need. They look good, I hope they hold up like creative products, the only problem I ever had with creative speakers is when my t40 II's fell off my desk, and jacked up my 3.5mm ports which is the only time I have had to replace them, but otherwise they last forever.

    My only concern out of the box is that they do not have grills, so the speakers are exposed. When opening I commented to my self that I am glad I don't have kids or cats. I would hope steel series incorporates grills in future revisions but otherwise these are fantastic.

    i/o options are great, two 3.5mm inputs, headphone out, bluetooth syncs fast. Most speakers you must select a single source, the arena 3's you have three active sources at the same time, two 3.5mm, and bluetooth. This is great because you can have your game audio, and your music playing at the same time, which is great for people like me who still use a dedicated mp3 player, and hate modern racing/gta soundtracks.

    The steel series engineers have created a great piece of kit here.

    The media could not be loaded.
    My friends and I live across country from each other, but we still manage to hang out every night in Discord. We watch movies, play games, or just chat in voice. My laptop has a garbage microphone like most do, so I’ve been on the hunt for a good headset. I’ve had two sets of Steel Series gaming headsets. One wired (and I tried to take my laptop for a walk far too many times) and the Arctis 9’s. The Arctis head set is really nice and I love that it is wireless but they kill my ears. I’ve tried all the hacks and nothing worked. I’d had my eye on these desktop speakers for some time but was afraid to make such an expensive purchase with all the mixed reviews.
    It took FOREVER for these speakers to arrive for being a prime purchase. I ordered them the 11th and got them yesterday (the 18th). I was just too excited lol.
    Once they arrived I got them all set up and immediately they need a driver update. No surprise there. So I do the update and the light on the right speaker starts blinking purple and they won’t work. I’m trying everything in my pcs settings and nothing works. I try messing with the Steel Series GG settings, and still no luck. I try restarting my pc… nothing is working. So I google. I see this is an issue for a few people after updating the drivers and I’m panicking. Some people are stating they had to return the speakers because of this issue and that Steel Series doesn’t have a fix. Now this is the biggest reason I’m writing so much detail in this review.
    I thought for sure I would have to return them, but after I restarted my pc and reopened the steel series app… probably 10 minutes after, I get another notification to update the drivers. I figure what the hell, can’t get worse. Update the drivers again and voila! They worked! So, if you are getting the purple flashing light of death, I suggest updating the drivers again! I couldn’t find anywhere on the internet people stating there is a fix for this now, so I wanted to make sure to include it in the review. Hopefully if others have this issue they will find this and be able to fix the issue without having to send the speakers back.

    These speakers do sound amazing! I got the Arena 7’s and they fill my 400sqft apartment with enough sound that I worry I might annoy my neighbor. They sound better than the headphones imo. The lights are fun to play with, and they can be set pretty bright, or off. They have a ridiculous amount of adjustability. You can sync them to your games to tell you different things like your health. I can set them up in Discord to represent different notifications, like who is talking or if someone left or arrived. The possibilities seem endless.
    I do use these in conjunction with the Steel Series Arena Microphone and my friends stated they couldn’t hear anything but my voice on my end. And when I first got the speakers up and running I did have them pretty loud. The Mic is amazing and I actually forget I’m wearing it. Idk why it isn’t sold on Amazon, but it works beautifully with this speaker set up for people who have sensitive ears like I do.

    The sound is ok, but when there is no input signal, you can hear white noise in the background, it's not much but it's there. Unfortunately the volume is not controlled by the bluetooth signal so it is necessary to adjust the speaker volume and the input volume independently.

    the best Speakers i've had in a long time
    lacks a little bit of bass, which can be fixed with the SteelSeries App ..

    Works like a charm..
    Love the multi-inputs.

    He leído muchas opiniones sobre este producto, sobre todo opiniones mixtas, que van desde aquellos que comentan maravillas sobre el producto, y otros que sostienen que el sistema es un asco. Cómo un entusiasta del audio de alta resolución te cuento mi experiencia.

    Primeramente debo comentar el uso que le doy al equipo. Trabajo principalmente desde casa, y cuando tienes un trabajo en el cual el home office consume la mayor parte de tu día, un buen dispositivo de sonido se vuelve indispensable, pues se está la mayor parte del tiempo escuchando música, podcast, etc, y en mis ratos libres, usualmente ya en la noche, es cuando lo dedico a las tareas de gaming, por lo que, debdo a la gama tan amplia de usos que le doy a mis bocinas, algunas veces es complicado encontrar un equipo de sonido que satisfaga todas esas necesidades, pues bueno, este es uno de esos equipos que pueden complacer incluso a los usuarios más exigentes. Para comenzar esta reseña la separaremos en dos partes, una parte para hablar de los satélites y otra para el subwoofer:

    SATELITES: ¿Qué puedo decir?, son unas bocinas extremadamente nítidas, todo el sonido que proviene de ellas es prístino, cristalino, no existe ni una sola frecuencia que se escuche apagada, brillante o fuera de lugar. Todos los detalles están genuinamente bien representados. No es necesario ni siquiera utilizar el ecualizador para subir o bajar frecuencias medias o altas, sencillamente no lo necesita. Para darte un ejemplo, si escuchas musical de vinilo de esos que hay en youtube, puedes notar de inmediato todos los detalles del audio, desde la aguja raspando el disco, hasta las suaves distorsiones del sonido producido por los bulbos, la voz del cantante y los instrumentos musicales, todos en su sitio, sin que ninguno de ellos ensucie a otro, es una auténtica gozada.

    Hablando de el SoundStage puedo decir que es amplio, muy amplio, pareciera que estuvieras utilizando más bocinas, pero son solo dos. Música que puedes utilizar para probar el Soundtage sería el genero VaporWave, ya que utiliza muchas frecuencias bajas y sonido ambiental, también la Acústica, guitarras, etc.

    Quizá las bocinas utilizándolas así "out of the box" puedan sonar algo estridentes para la gente sensible del oído, pero eso se corrige muy fácil ajustando el EQ en la región de los bajos, una vez corregido esto, el sonido es melodioso, suave y muy, pero muy adictivo. Por último, podría decir que el RGB de las bocinas es fantástico, es tan brillante que fácilmente puede sustituir un sistema de luces RGB Ambilight montado detrás del monitor.

    SUBWOOFER: Llegamos a la parte que para muchos "BassHead" es complicada, aunque no le encuentro mucho sentido a las críticas de que a estas bocinas le faltan bajos. La verdad es que estamos tan acostumbrados a las bocinas con sonido "bommy" o "thump, thump" que cuando tenemos frente a nosotros un sub que reproduce fielmente los bajos tal cual fueron diseñados por el ingeniero de sonido, nos asustamos y vamos corriendo a comprar nuestas bocinas logitech más cercanas y sentirnos seguros con toda esa masa de graves estridentes, sucios y que solo aportan ruido a la mezcla musical.
    Para empezar el subwoofer que diseñó steelseries para estas bocinas es magnifico, es de los pocos que llegan efectivamente a los 30Hz e incluso un poco más abajo, las percusiones, tambores, suenan fantástico, esto se aprecia sobre todo en música de orquesta. Eso sí, el volumen del subwoofer es obligado tenerlo al 100% para una buena escucha. Juegos como River City Girls 2 [uno de los que tienen de mis bandas sonoras favoritas por su mezcla de electrónica y chiptunes] suenan fantástico, los bajos, los golpes, los detalles en el sonido, hacen un juego todavía más disfrutable.

    TIP: Si aún así no te convencen los bajos o encuentras un poco estridentes las bocinas esto tiene fácil solución, tan solo hay que jugar con las frecuencias bajas para que el subwoofer haga mejor su trabajo, comienza con ajustar la región de 32, 64,128, 250 unos +3db, si necesitas más bajos, sube a +5db.

    Como conclusión te puedo decir que este sistema de sonido se puede considerar como el tope de la gama media en sonido [es decir, de buena calidad y accesible al bolsillo], después de esto ya tendrás que gastar muchísimo más dinero en unas bocinas en las que realmente puedas escuchar alguna mejoría que pueda considerarse notoria.

    Cómo un consejo general, recomiendo arduamente el uso de un DAC para sacarle todo el jugo al sonido de estas bocinas. Valen cada centavo invertido en ellas. No te vas a arrepentir.

    EDIT: Si vas a comprar estas bocinas te aconsejo NO HACER UPDATE DEL FIRMWARE. Después de unos días tuve que devolverlas ya que tenían latencia en el sonido y me lastimaba un poco el oído. Entonces pedí un nuevo par de bocinas y puedo decir que el problema era la actualización de firmware. El sonido de estas bocinas con el firmware de fábrica es tendiendo al sonido plano, solo hay que subir la región de los 250hz para que el sonido suene poderoso y "lleno". Así que ya lo sabes NO ACTUALICES EL FIRMWARE si quieres la mejor calidad de sonido con estas bocinas.

    The sound is really good, music sounds good and games sounds even better.
    I would recommend these speakers.
    It’s definitely a good choice it’s your looking for a good desk speakers.
    Led lights are nice and they work really well.
    But if your looking for small speakers well this isn’t a good choice but it’s a mid sized speakers really work the space it takes up tho it looks nice.

    Well what I see here is half of the comments are complaints from people who seems to think it is plug and play... I never read nowhere it is plug and play...
    As one said you need to download the GG Engine app to get full acces to features...
    Same as for my Arctis...

    These speakers are exactly as specified, sound great, easy to set up and use, and I love the simple button push to swap from headset to speakers without messing around.
