Customer Ratings & Reviews

These are the most expensive gaming headphones I have bought and I would definitely say they are worth it. They have everything I could ask for to include simultaneous Bluetooth, you can plug in three separate audio sources all at the same time, and great software. I second guessed my decision to purchase these.

Love the sound in these headphones. Definitely worth the upgrade

Best noice cancelling. Superior to Bose and Sony headsets.

Love the headphones over anything i have ever used. I also love that i can customize them like crazy

Thanks a lot it was a great purchase and delivery was great thanks again

Compared to to the nova pro i feel its a great upgrade after a couple of weeks i went back and forth between the nova pro and elite and now i can definitely hear a huge difference everything is a lot more detailed and crisp and the bass is just perfect leave it on the flat eq setting on the sonar app and thats all you need for the elites they are awesome

Highly rated yes. Worth $600, ehh I’d say $500 should’ve been the price. But I can see why they went with $600. I sold my Nova Pro on eBay & put the money towards the Elite. These are much better than Pro in every way. I’m happy I upgraded! As a streamer, the Pro/Elite wireless options are a MUST! No other headset has this feature set. Hope this helps, if it does.. follow me on AJ CoRe TV on YT.

This headset i got a while back and its really good the switching between systems and also allowing my phone to be blue toothed at the same time and muting the mic for the game while i take a call on my phone is awesome

Could hear footsteps from a mile away and they’re super clear!

Christmas present for son, he absolutely loves them! Yes, they are expensive. In the long run I would have paid just as much or more to replace them every year or so. Hopefully these will last a long time

Great sound !!!probably recommend to those who want to spend that much!

Sounds good, similar to pro version with elevated bass. Sound mixing works well. Slightly less comfortable than the pro model.

I've seen a fair number of premium gaming headsets at this point - but I can safely say the Arctis Nova Elite stands apart. While it may not be the ideal headset for everyone, I think it's safe to say that there isn't anything else out there at the moment that can match this specific mix of features. The headset is split into two main parts: the hadphones themselves and a USB Control Box/DAC that sits on your desk. The headphones use an elastic universal fit design. I've tried a few of these over the years and generally haven't liked them very much, as they usually feel kind of awkward and end up concentrating too much weight on the top of your head. I'm pleased to say I didn't encounter either of those problems here. The elastic band is a bit softer and better at contouring to my head than most, and offered enough adjustment to handle a wider array of head sizes than most. Weight is relatively modest, though still pretty far from ultralight, and the controls are well laid out for easy access. The retractable boom mic in particular gains points for how smoothly it integrates into the headphone's body when you're not using it. The control box, meanwhile, gains points for simplicity. Pretty much everything is controlled via a combination jog wheel/button that normally handles volume, with a few vital statistics being relayed via a small OLED screen. It looks great on my desk and doesn't take up a lot of room, but admittedly can be a bit slow to use for more complex tasks. For day to day gaming I don't think anyone will care, but if you plan to use this for a more complex streaming audio setup it's definitely worth considering that you'll want to have everything prepared before you start. The box is also vital for the headset's best party trick: swappable batteries. With how long headset batteries tend to last these days I can't say this is solving a problem that comes up often, but it is nonetheless appealing to know that I don't have to plug anything in if I find myself suddenly out of juice before a gaming session. As far as actual use goes, I mostly have high marks. Sound quality is excellent, and the ANC option does a great job filtering out fan noise from a gaming tower (though it can admittedly become a little uncomfortable with protracted use.) The ear cups are soft and do a good job providing some passive noise blocking as well, though it's worth keeping in mind that they do heat up a fair bit over longer gaming sessions. The microphone audio is also good - albeit a little grainy. It does better with the included baffle attached, but since that also interferes with your ability to stow the mic I can't say that's something I'm likely to use that much. Most of the finer adjustments need to be handled via an app installed on either your phone or PC, and this is one area where I admit I'm less impressed. There's a lot of bloat built in, a very aggressive push to have you sign up for an account with SteelSeries, and the audio controls feel very deliberately hidden. But once you figure out how to get past that it does its job, and you probably only need to go in there a few times, so I decided not to knock a star off for it. All in all this does get a recommendation for me - provided you feel like the unusual feature set caters to you. I'm still not entirely sold on the need for ANC or swappable batteries for most people, but for the few who do want it there really aren't a ton of competing options and certainly not many offering this kind of styling or build quality.

Great sounding gaming head phones and easy to use.

Love these headphones. I have the artic nova pro wireless and these are noticeably a step up. The noise cancelling is even better and the features with the app and battery life are so good.

I have been using the these headsets from the arctis pro wireless, arctis nova pro wireless and now the arctis nova elite. it's just getting better and better. This newest one is 3X better than the pros.

Awesome product. Use to like astro but they sold out and are trash now

The best are that much better. If you can go with the pro’s!

Didn't work the best for me but I have a few friends that ended up getting the same set and I can't fault them for that because it's been a game changer for them.

I tried these on several occasions for gaming and chatting, the sound is good but not much better the nova pro, for 300$ more they shoud have redesigned the ear cups, the noise cancellation is so good it puts pressure on your eardrums after about 30 minutes, it gets so bad you either have to remove them of turn off NC, for 600$ thats a deal breaker, making the cups bigger would have fixed the problem instead all they did was upgrade the inside and slapped a new color on it. I will be returning mine.
