Engineered to Be Lightweight, yet Durable
Designed with a durable steel and aluminium architecture, the Sound BlasterX H5 is light to wear, and bring around, yet tough enough to maintain its structural integrity from everyday wear and tear.

Responsive Audio Cues for High Performance Gameplay
Experience your game the way it's meant to be heard. The Sound BlasterX H5 is equipped with large, responsive 50mm FullSpectrum drivers that deliver astounding sound.

Rated at 118dB/mW, the Sound BlasterX H5 is among the loudest gaming headsets of its class. Feel the tremor of every bone-shattering explosion and hear the rattle of gunfire in your gameplay, like no other.

Ergonomic Design for the Ultimate Comfort

The Sound BlasterX H5 is made for long gaming sessions. Featuring a premium blend of soft-touch plastics, memory foam and plush leatherette that complements its sturdy metallic architecture, the Sound BlasterX H5 boasts superior comfort and ergonomics to keep you focused on your game all day, even if you are a gamer who wears eyewear.

Through the clever use of physics and mechanical engineering, the highly flexible, single-piece reinforced steel band bends all the way around the head with optimal clamping force and ample flexibility for a snug fit—on heads of all shapes and sizes—for a comfortable fit without compromising stability and sturdiness.

Tilt Driver Design

The Sound BlasterX H5 is designed with a tilt driver implementation that creates a mini acoustic chamber to minimize resonance within the earcups. The result is that you experience extra clarity across the frequencies and better sound separation where every detail crisp and clear.

Dynamic Sound Signature
The Sound BlasterX H5 comes pre-tuned out of the box with a dynamic sound signature3. What this means is that we tuned this headset to not overemphasize on any particular frequency domain. The end result is a solid and natural sound for enhanced clarity and precision for gamers.

Hear Only Your Voice
The detachable noise-reduction microphone filters ambient sounds so you can be heard clearly, even in a noisy environment.

When you're not gaming, detach your microphone from the headset and you'll get a pair of compact headphones that's ready for great music on the go.

One-touch Convenience
With the inline remote, you're in control of your music, volume and voice calls - easy and convenient!

Seamless Connectivity
The Sound BlasterX H5 offers a wide range of connectivity options for a holistic gaming experience. The 3.5mm 4-pole jack cable can be used with any smart device such as your iPhone and iPad, as well as today's gaming consoles2 such as PlayStation®4.

There's an included 1.2m Y-splitter cable (that fits the older 3-pole plug-in implementation) where one jack is used for microphone input, and the other for audio output.
