Customer Ratings & Reviews

great battery life, audio quality, and overall build feels extremely premium

What else can be said about this multipurpose audio device? I fit MY NEEDS 100%. Not to get into the specs, but the hi-res audio sounds great on pc on console. The presence of clarity and warm bass, paired with Dolby Atmos, is what I need. I replaced all before and now gained a cult like fan.

Expensive but worth the money. I've owned many premium headset but this one takes the cake. I have never had a headset that seems to be able to separate sounds in competitive games better than this one. Much easier to hear footsteps and important audio.

Upgraded to this headset from the Nova Pro wireless and the sound upgrade it definitely noticeable! I also like the fact that you can EQ the headset through the Steelseries GG app on a 10 band EQ. The price is definitely on the higher end but if you get use out the robust feature set then in my opinion they are worth the price.

This headset is outstanding, it stays comfy for 10+ hours. The arctis nova elite has amazing sound quality, crisp , unbelievable performance. The swappable batteries are a incredible feature, something u wish you had sooner for a wireless headset . 10/10 must have.

phenomenal sound quality and very comfortable to wear!

They're expensive. They are also excellent headphones. The SteelSeries GG software has hundreds of gaming sound profiles that sound amazing with your games. The distance you can walk away from your computer and still hear and talk to others is amazing. The ear cups are good for me but if you have larger ears you may need to buy after market ear cups for comfort. Sound cancellation is excellent.

Great headphones. Almost returned cause of sonar not sounding good for every game, but realized you don’t “need” to use sonar, for sound quality. After turning sonar off for ff xiv, it sounded amazing.

This is the first time in a long time I've ever written a review for anything. The only reason why I'm doing this is to warn you, the potential buyer, about problems you might face. This headset isn't bad. I mainly use it to listen to music, audio books, and podcasts. I wear them on my commute to and from work. Also, when I travel. The sound quality and noise cancelation are both great. I love listening to music with them. I rarely have connection issues. The battery life is great. I swap the batteries once a week. So what is the problem with them? More like problems. The magnetic plates that cover the battery and usb c port are not strong. They are real easy to knock off. I lost the left side. It took 2 weeks of going back and forth with steelseries.com support just to get replacements. It takes them a whole day to respond to anything. They usually respond at 4am for me. Apparently, replacing the plates is not covered under warranty. They were "nice" enough to send replacements. They sent the wrong color. I have the sage and gold version. They gave me the plates for the black version. When I pointed out the mistake they made. They told me they were out of the ones I asked for and gave me these instead out of "generosity". In reality, I was supposed to go to the steelseries.com store and go to the accessories section and buy the plates there. Problem was the fact that the plates I need were out of stock. There was no estimate when they will be back. Also, the replacements are like $20. This headset cost around $600. Think about that.... Another problem I have with this headset is the inability to adjust the headband. When I bought this, it was cold outside. I had to wear a hat. I noticed it didn't matter what hat I was wearing, the ear cups couldn't cover my ears. It made listening to music difficult. I also had to flatten my hair so I can wear these. The headset has to be worn with the headband flat on top of your head. If you wear it at an angle, it will slip and fall. Getting the Bluetooth to connect to other devices is a pain. Activating pairing mode is more difficult than it should be. You are supposed to hold the Bluetooth button for 30 secs to 1min. When I do it, it just automatically reconnect to my phone. I owned these for like 6 months I will continue to wear these as my go to headset for traveling. But, when I can afford something better, these will be dropped immediately.

The ultimate high end premium gaming headset! Exquisite gaming trait set greatly updated from the fan favorite nova pro wireless now modernized with a touch of carbon fiber drivers manufactured inside the speakers. Already loved the previous nova pro wireless the nova elite further expands the steelseries brand into hi res audio fidelity territory. Works for every platform imaginable; PC , Mac, PlayStation, Xbox , Switch 1 &2 you name it. Not gonna lie paying $600 for headphones especially a gaming headset is over the edge I would have preferred $400 -500 to spend but they are other products that cost way more and imo don't justify their asking MSRP. Not necessarily saying you have to buy these to get the $600 experience but if there is a product that doesn't have a lot of misses and does everything else right I would definitely pick these (only if you have the budget to)

Sounds great but, maybe not as great as the price would suggest. Sound-wise, it’s slightly better vs headsets. In this case, you’re essentially paying more for its extra quality of life options.

These are pretty much the best head phones I e ever used. Noise cancellation is amazing, and the sound quality is by far the best in any head set I’ve ever use. It was definitely a pricy purchase but if you have the money, these are definitely as good as it gets.

Best gaming headset ever created. The drivers are carbon fiber, and the headset itself has its own app for your phone and you can control the equalizer through there instead of on your PC. This thing is lit.

These headphones are really cool and allow you to set up different modes. 1 flaw is that u have to have a pc to update them or you wont be able to use the mobile app for them to change said modes. Also probably not worth the $600 whatsoever, i had razer blackshark v3 pro and noticed no real difference and the modes on this headset dont really change very much from experience. Cool if u have $600 laying around otherwise a $100-150 headset will do mostly the same thing.

Very easy to set up and has a ton of features with the iphone spp or PC app! You can tune it to your specification! The swspple battery is really nine!!

I have the pros and now the elite and I didn’t think there would be a huge difference… oh boy was I wrong. the $600 price tag is worth it and I couldn’t recommend it enough. And then on top of that, they managed to keep the hot swap batteries, which is the biggest benefit in my opinion.

Very comfortable for long periods of play. The sound is amazing and crisp. Having Bluetooth connected while playing is another plus. Listening to musice while you wait for matches plus never missing a phone call. The noise cancellation is everything it claims to be. And the mic is clear with no background noise.

They are a big step up from the artis pro. Sound is crisp and being able to play music from your phone while gaming is a big upgrade

I have owned the Arctic Nova Wireless Pro for two years they are great but the sound of these Elites are top notch and great sound awesome noise cancelling in games like battlefield 6 etc definitely the best by them.

best headset you can buy. audio is perfect for gaming and the app presets make it super easy to be up and running and hearing footsteps better than before in minutes.
