Customer Ratings & Reviews

A little pricey but sound quality is great. Works with My PC, Playstation and Xbox. On the fly battery swap makes this easy to always have a charge. Comes with 3 usb cables, a handy carrying case and all you need to easily set things up.

These are super premium. Excellent cushions sometimes have fun can be too tired of my head, but I think the cushion on the ear pads offset that. One of the main drawers was so that I could listen to two things at once the screen gives easy control where I can adjust between my computer and my gaming system. Excellent product!

A great upgrade from the artic nova pro wireless. I love the sage color and the overall physical quality. Softest cuffs with good coverage. The sound quality is better, but im in love with the app. Convient for quick tuning. A great purchase for the price.

These are, hands down, the finest headphones I have ever used. The only caveat so far is the high price. I am using them for XBOX Series X gaming and AppleTV movies and music. The sound is superb; bright, clear, agreeable base and sharply defined speech. They remain comfortable after hours of uninterrupted use. The build quality, to my eye, is excellent and setup with both Xbox and Apple TV was a non event. So far though, the GG software has not recognized these headphones, a problem that may relate to the newest MacBook OP. I recommend the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite headphones to others, price notwithstanding.

Ok the the #1 reason you buy these is for the sound. This is one of the few gaming headsets that truly start to compete with audiophile gear while offering a decent microphone. I say decent because it is still lacking. Voice quality is by far the best out of the steelseries headsets however the microphone really struggles with gain still. Its just too quiet. Everyone will comment that they have to “turn you up” if you switch from another brand or setup. Its ver apparent if you fire up a db meter and switch between the steelseries mic and other wireless boom mic options. For instance the HyperX Cloud III wireless has a louder mic but the quality is bery compressed sounding compared to the steelseries. The build quality feels great ok the headset, however for $600 i was disappointed that the wirless dac / receiver felt cheaper to the touch than the one with the Arctis Nova Pro’s. It would have been nice to see metal used on the receiver as well at this price point. The next big highlight, and a big reason this series is so popular, is the swappable battery. Works just as good as prior generations/iterations and is fantastic. I wish more brands would adopt this method for powering their wireless headsets. Would I recommend this headset? It checks a lot of boxes and sounds pretty fantastic with a flat eq out if the box. But boy is it pricey. You can get a great wired setup with a better microphone if you want to get more complex with your setup. But if you just want to plug and play and have the freedom of wireless, bluetooth, multiplatform support etc then these are probably among the best you can find - you just really have to pay to play.

[Employee of bestbuy] Bought the Arctis Nova Pros years ago and loved them so much that when it was time, I decided to go for these. They sound amazing, are super comfortable compared to the already comfortable pro's, and the build quality is amazing. I highly recommend the Sage Gold color too.

Best headset ive used to date. The companion phone app makes these a game changer. The sound quality when gaming is fantastic. Turn the Bluetooth on and listen to music or phone calls on your phone.

I’ve used many gaming headsets over the years, and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite Wireless is by far the best one I’ve owned. The sound quality is outstanding, whether I’m gaming, listening to music, or watching movies. The wireless connection is reliable, the headset is extremely comfortable for long sessions, and the battery life is excellent. One of my favorite features is the ability to switch between different devices and platforms with ease. It works great with my Xbox, PC, and other devices without any issues. The microphone quality is also very clear, making communication easy during online gaming. The audio customization options are impressive, and the overall build quality feels premium. After spending a lot of time using this headset, I can confidently say it was worth every dollar. I highly recommend the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite Wireless to anyone looking for a premium gaming headset. 100% recommended.

I've had an Arctis Nova Pro for years, and this really is a significant improvement. To begin with, on paper the Elite is supposedly heavier, but it felt lighter to me, so I broke out the scale, and it really is a few grams lighter. The materials feel more premium, and the sound is excellent. The Nova Pro was a good headset for gaming, the Nova Elite is a good headset, period. I have found the sound to be excellent for games, movies, music, etc. The battery life is amazing, and there's the spare hot-swap battery, so you never have to worry about charging. The ANC isn't the very best I've used, but it's actually quite good. One thing of note, from the description it seems like you should be able to have 3 USB sources active simultaneously, but that's not quite true. You get 3 USB sources and one line in, as well as a line out. Actually, the primary USB source is always active, and you can select one of the other two to be active at the same time, as well as the line in. I also plug some simple desk speakers into the line out, and that is only active when the headset is off, no need to fiddle with audio sources on your devices. I'm not a fan of the software, but if you're like me, you can use everything just fine without installing the software. You miss out on a few advanced features, but nothing that I miss.

I bought this to replace my not so great Xbox wireless headset. Coming from an A50, it never impressed me. I love the hot swap batteries and the sound is incredible.

I bought these as a Mother’s Day gift for my wife. She’s been a gamer since she was a kid and was definitely due for an upgrade, so I figured she would enjoy these, and I was right. She absolutely loves them. She uses them every day, and every now and then she still thanks me for the gift. According to her, they sound great, and one of the biggest improvements is that people can actually hear her clearly when she talks now. I also own the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset, and I enjoy those quite a bit. After comparing the two, I feel like the Nova Elite Wireless is a slight upgrade overall. They look and feel a bit more premium, and the build quality seems a little better as well. If you’re looking for a high-quality wireless gaming headset, these have been a great purchase.

Since switching from the Pro to the Elite, I’ve really appreciated how the Elite feels like a “next-level” version of the same trusted Arctis design. The build quality feels more premium, heavier, yes, but sturdier and more refined. The audio is richer and more detailed the bass hits with more weight, mids and highs feel crisp, and there’s a pleasing warmth and clarity that brings games to life more vividly. Comfort remains very high thanks to the familiar “ski-goggle” suspension headband and soft earcups, so even long sessions stay easy on the head. In short: if you loved the Pro for its comfort and solid performance, the Elite is like getting those strengths amplified — better fidelity, more premium feel, and a noticeable step up in immersion.

Here's the deal - this headset is not for everyone. You want something that will let you play games and hear your friends on Discord but don't have 3 consoles? See the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. Have 3 consoles? This is your headset. The build on this headset is metal hinge and headband, which I believe is new from the NPW. Otherwise you'll have the same clear audio, form factor, and experience common to the Artcis Nova headsets. One new thing? You can have the OLED screen turn off after a few minutes (configure in GG). That's about it - you got $600 for a headset? You probably have 3 inputs to use with it. Otherwise, the $300-400 NPW is best.

Amazing sound quality for a wireless headset comfort is also superb and the fact that you don’t have to ever plug it into charge is even better

Very comfortable and so many options on connection. Works great with my phone, pc, and even on my ham radio.

The best sound I've ever heard. I know some of the features are also in other headphones but i love being able to listen to more than 1 device at a time.

Arctis Elite is by far the most superior headset on the market. I have tried all the major headsets. This blows all out of the water. I believe the only downside is comfort. I feel the ear pieces press too hard on the head, making it slightly uncomfortable. This may have been user error, but either way mild discomfort is a small price to pay for the best Audio, a mic quality, and reliability of any competitors. My favorite headset was Astro A50X until now. The Arctis Elite blows it out of the water with everything but comfort.

Had these for a while now and will say they have been worth it. I find the sound amazing and the headset comfortable. Glad I upgraded from the Pro’s.

Ok guys this is a game changer. These are the absolute best gaming headphones ever. You can change all the setting while you play with your phone. Yes your phone. You won’t need to connect your fav to download new easy or get up from the comfort of your seat to go to your fav and adjust your mic etc. Then the sound. Wow these headset is miles away from the Pros and the pros were my all time favorite headset. Got them from day 1 and never felt the need to buy another brand to test them to see if they were better. If you have the funds I highly recommend you to get these headset. You won’t be disappointed.

Amzing audio quality, feels very comfortable!! I would highly recommend!!
