    Steelseries Artic Nova Pro Wireless Elite

    After owning almost every high end headset for the last 10 years, this by far the BEST headset I've ever experienced! Do the research and check the specs. Sound is amazing and the features are bar none. Access from your cell phone, light and super comfortable. Very well built. Yes, it's expensive. But you get what you pay for!!

    Is it expensive YES... but

    I honestly think Steel Series is loosing revenue at a 600 price tag. 399 would have been the sweet spot for these. When you combine comfort, loads of features and sound I just had to do it. . I do happen to like Sonar software for EQ customization. They sound pretty good right out of the box, spending a little more time EQ'ng can certainly elevate further. I also noticed i get a stronger wireless range in comparison to my A50 gen5. The Elite has become my #1 go to wireless headset for daily use due to all that it packs into one. If sound is the only thing you care about, I would look somewhere else like the Maxwells or while you are looking at this price range might as well consider audiophiles like the Audeze LCD-GX which are amazing for FPS. Note I did not pay full price, I used heavily gift cards to subsidize cost

    Next Level

    I bought the Arctis Nova Pro years ago and I love them. I thought they were peak until these came out. I have had them for a few weeks and I have really loved the Comfort. Yes, while they look the same they are a lot more comfortable. The sound is a lot better too, that said if you do not care about sound or do not pay attention to it you may not notice, but they are better then the Pro's. That said, to me the main feature is being able to have multiple Channels on and being able to listen to them at the same time. I personally have a long time friend that I play with on Xbox and talk to him a lot. Being able to be in a Party on Xbox and still go and play PlayStation and listen to my game there is amazing. This is Next Level Headset and the Price shows it. The Unboxing is also a lot better then the Nova Pro's a lot more Premium. I really recommend them to the people that can afford them. It is something you will have for years and get your Monies Worth. Truly an Amazing Headset!
