Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great versatile headphones. I use these for gaming, media, and work. They're comfortable. Great battery life. Swappable batteries also means I'm never waiting for a charge. Mute button is awesome. They are expensive, but you're getting a lot in one: They're wireless. Great sound (for being wireless and a non-dedicated-audiophile device). I can use them (with ease) for everything (gaming, media, and work).

Super expensive for a gaming headset which is what I primarily use this for with the occasional call on phone while gaming. This is the best headset though for a variety of reasons. Sound quality: Excellent. 2nd only to the Audeze Maxwell. Battery: It completely removes battery life on a wireless headset and charging. I never have to even think about battery life because there's always a fresh battery pack ready to go. Wireless connection: Good range, I generally use this at a gaming PC and have zero cut outs. I have had several other wireless headsets and they cut out occasionally and this headset does not. I can also walk away to my kitchen about 20 feet away or so and it maintains connection. Mic: For a wireless headset it's 5 star. Wireless headsets are never perfect but this is probably the best functional mic - I'm clear and no one has issues hearing me - good enough for a BF6 Discord clan chat. I also like that it's connected - no more having to plug a Mic in when I need it which is super nice. Noise cancellation: It's not as good as Apple, Sony, or Bose as I have used them all at various times in my life but it's definitely perfect for gaming. WIth the sounds of the game, the earpads, and the ANC, I'm very immersed in the game. This is my endgame headset. Outside of just changing out earpads over time due to wear, and buying new battery packs (which are dirt cheap) when they age, I think this headset will last many, MANY years. If you want to save some bucks, check out the Nova Pro Wireless. This headset takes the Nova Pro and improves it slightly in every area, including comfort, mic, sound, connectivity.

This headset is the king of all gaming headsets. The build quality and sound are absolutely superb. It has more features than any other headset I have ever owned. And I can connect it to all of my different devices at the same time. Honestly the biggest and my only con is price and then it doesn’t have full functionality on Mac OS yet. The gg app doesn’t recognize it on Mac. But i would buy it again it’s that good. The black color is very sleek.

Sound is amazing very comfortable one battery last me an entire week of playing 4-5 hours daily aftet work honestly the best headset ive ever owned and best headset brand

Great sound, super comfortable, and easy to use across PC and consoles. Wireless is rock solid, battery lasts forever, and the mic is clear. Pricey, but worth it if you want a premium headset that just works.

They are expensive but are very comfortable and the sound qualify is the best I have heard. It's nice having swappable batteries so one is always charging. Are they worth it? That's a personal choice but for me it was.

Excellent Sound profile, super customization, endless power with the battery system, ANC, super comfort with plush earpads. The only issue is the higher-than-average price, but it's worth it

I’ve been using the Arctis Nova Elite for a few weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed. SteelSeries took everything great about the Nova Pro and refined it even further. The build quality feels premium — solid but lightweight, with soft, breathable ear cushions that stay comfortable even during long sessions. The new headband design adds better balance and less pressure on the crown of the head, which I really appreciate after multi-hour gaming sessions. Audio-wise, this thing is incredible. The sound clarity and separation are next-level, and the 360° Spatial Audio makes a huge difference for immersion and competitive play. You can really hear where footsteps or gunfire are coming from. The parametric EQ in Sonar lets you dial in your perfect sound profile, and the Elite drivers respond beautifully to fine adjustments.

Best headset ive ever owned. The ear cups feel like clouds on my ears and the eq options are outstanding tuning is a breeeze and you can easily tune the sound to your liking. The mic is phenomenal for a wireless gaming headset and there are so many options to tune the mic as well. All in all wonderful the price is abit steep would think more between 400 and 500 would be better than the 600 price tag but you are getting the best wireless gaming headset. It has hot swap batteries and a leather carry case

This is a very pricy gaming headset and is definitely not for everyone. However I think if you do your research and you intentionally will use the multi-system capabilities, the ANC, bluetooth, etc... This product is fantastic. The ANC is much improved over the previous nova pro wireless, the comfort is better, and the hot-swap batteries are still a killer feature. The mic should be better for the price, but I honestly think with EQ it's quite good. If you're doing podcasting or audio work you should probably be buying a separate dedicated mic anyways. Overall, this headset is the ultimate all-in-one package, just do your research first.

This headsetis an upgrade from the arctis nova pro in every way. Its more comfortable, it sounds better and is more feature complete.

I splurged and upgraded from the Pro model. Everything is just better. Sound, comfort, materials. Enough to justify the higher price? That’s harder to quantify and highly subjective. Getting into audiophile level gear you end up with diminishing returns. If you want to treat yourself you won’t be disappointed.

I had a lot of headphones over the years always one for xbox and one for the ps5 turtlebeach, older Steelseries and for the last year audeze Maxwell but the nova elite barely beats the Maxwell in weight it’s much lighter and equalizer convenience they have hundreds of presets that work right of my iPhone and plugging both systems to one control hub is just fantastic and last but not least the sound is flat out incredible the price is steep but worth it check all the boxes build, comfort, convenience, versatility and most important amazing sound!

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.

Most comfortable headphones and the batteries are great. The sound is very good as well.

The noise cancellation is great its better from the last nova headset as it truly isolated sound of your gaming from the outside world but not fully as i can still hear my dogs barking loud from a different part of the house but only if theres no sound being played of a game or no video playing. Its truly great i love them and the battery life on them is so much better as will that it would last me around 2 1/2 days of gaming varys on gamers on how long they play games .

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.
