    Amazing – By far the best gaming headset I’ve ever used!

    The sound quality is incredible I can hear footsteps coming from every direction, which makes a huge difference in gameplay. The highs and lows sound great, and the presets on the SteelSeries app are super easy to use and customize.

    But the comfort is what really stands out. The headband and ear cushions are by far some of the softest and most comfortable I’ve used, even during long gaming sessions.

    If you’re looking for a headset that delivers amazing sound, great customization, and all-day comfort, this one is definitely worth checking out!

    Excellent just an okay mic – Mic could be better for the price………………………………………..

  3. Hellakills (verified owner) –

    Best Gaming Headset out. – You will love these Headphones best Gaming Headset out right now Hands down they cost Alot but you wont be disappointed it blows everything out of the water.

  4. Mlb22 (verified owner) –

    Best headset ever – Owner of many headsets throughout the years and this is by far the best one i have ever had

  5. Ryan (verified owner) –

    One of the best but is it worth the price – This headset is by far one of the most expensive headsets out there but is it really worth it? I don’t really think so. This headset is $200 more than the Nova Pro Omni with very little sound differences to me. If you have money to blow sure get it I guess but the fancy carbon fiber drivers don’t sound any special to me. These also never go on sale either. I say save your money and get the model below these.

  6. JohnG (verified owner) –

    Still under review… – I wish I could do a 4.5 stars until I was finished fully exploring the functions available to this headset, but out of the box they have a nice fit, extra battery is nice to swap and it slaps in the side of the remote setup control. The firmware update out of the box could be smoother but I managed to get through it using the steel website and the system “stock” options should be reviewed and understood before getting right into gaming, otherwise a lot of snapshot moments will be automatically taken (using a computer for gaming). Audio clarity is nice just fine tuning what I expect to hear for in game action vs chat. Definitely seem good for someone who is into the finite control of their game and interface for streaming, still out on the vote if they are worth the cash paid ATM.

  7. Klaim23 (verified owner) –

    Best of the best! – I’ve tried so many gaming headset and by far these are…..THE BEST ONES!! Very comfortable! The sound is clear and crisp and I’ve tried on various games (SF-6, call of duty, mega man, Madden, The Order 1816, and Marvels Tokon). They are light weight and ear cups are soft. The app provides various sound settings which makes it easy and convenient to find the best sound. The price is heavy but I guarantee it is worth every penny and you won’t need to invest in anything else.

  8. AndrewS (verified owner) –

    Impressive headset, uncomfortable head strap – I love the color scheme and that they’re offering more premium palettes. This headset does a lot of things really well, and the battery pack idea was genius. The latency is some of the lowest I’ve experienced aside from audio passthrough. My biggest complaints are the price and the head strap. If I wear it for a long time, my head gets uncomfortable. It isn’t a headset I can wear without fatigue.

  9. JERSEYJ (verified owner) –

    These Headphones are The Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – The SteelSeries – Arctis Nova Elite Wireless are by far the absolute best headphones on the market If you were thinking about buying these just do it for the price its steep but for quality is what your looking for buy these headphones for one the noise cancellation is insane you won’t be able to hear anyone or anything outside your zone it comes with three drivers in the headphones for different audio i returned these headphones to see the difference between the astro a50x vs these ones and i regret heavily getting rid of them complete game changer seriously save some money on the side and buy these headphones!!! Being able to play an fps game and here precise footsteps and know your enemy’s exact location is insane not just this horrible aerial sound these other headsets have There no other headset that does this good believe me I tested everything before deciding on the price and came to the realization these are the ones!!!!!

  10. Deez (verified owner) –

    Pretty decent – Honestly, no complaints. Just not worth the price point.

  11. EDWARD (verified owner) –

    Not what expected – To expensive, not the best quility for what are you paying

  12. MatthewJ (verified owner) –

    Best sound – Perfect headset for gaming, school, and music. They are worth the price.

  13. KyleK (verified owner) –

    Audiophile grade – These rank among the finest headphones I have encountered. The sound quality is exceptional, with crisp highs, deep bass, and a well-balanced midrange that brings out the details in every track. They are also incredibly comfortable for long listening sessions, and the battery life easily lasts through a full day of use. I really like the premium build quality and how intuitive the controls are. Honestly, there is very little to dislike, though the included carrying case could be a bit more compact. I primarily use these at my desk for work and gaming, as well as for listening to music while traveling.

  14. ALEKW (verified owner) –

    10/10 all is great – 10/10 best purchase sound quality is great comfort great especially since most head sets bother my ears

  15. FRANCISCO (verified owner) –

    Best gaming headset out there – By far this is the best headset I’ve ever had. It’s good for the people that want a headset that is really good for music and gaming. It definitely competes against my Bowers and Wilkins px8 s2 for music and it has every good thing for professional gaming. If you are looking for both a really good music headphone and a gaming headset that has a really good mic then this is the one for you. Price is definitely worth it.

  16. CHRISB (verified owner) –

    Volume adjustment – Sounds great. Well built and comfortable. Battery lasts long. Has its own app to adjust sound settings and it can be connected to multiple devices at once.

  17. LACIEB (verified owner) –

    Excellent Headset for No Budget Gamers – This is probably one of the best quality headsets I’ve used and I’ve been through many brands. Would definitely recommend based on sound quality, hot swappable batteries, the sound software, and general ease of use. This headset also has a very expensive feel to it, you aren’t paying a premium for this headset and still getting plastic components like some brands are willing to do. The noise suppression setting allows me to hear more than I’ve ever heard in my games and sometimes I feel so immersed that I actually get jump scared again from games I have over 4000hrs in. If you’ve ever wondered “how did that guy hear me from there” it was probably this headset! I play some very sound important games and it’s like I’m hearing them for the first time again, I can hear so much more and act on the information! Anyways, overall this is a superior headset to whatever you’re comparing it to. That said I would only recommend this headset if you absolutely have money to blow and have no budget. If you just need a decent option there are cheaper headsets in the Steel Series line for half the cost. Spending this much on a headset won’t make you magically play better anyways, spend the extra cash on an aim trainer instead! But 10/10 headset, would recommend if rich.

    SteelSeries – Arctis Nova Elite – Very impressive headphones. Must use SteelSeries Sonar software to get the best sound.

  19. Harlyxs (verified owner) –

    Best quality – At first I was skeptical about purchasing this, but now I don’t regret it at all. Best gaming headsets I ever owned

  20. ELIJAH (verified owner) –

    Better than A50 – Three months in, and the Arctis Nova Elite has been a great experience overall. The sound is immersive, and the build feels premium. My only real complaint is that the support band occasionally pops off, which gets annoying when you have to keep putting it back on. Aside from that, I’m happy with the purchase.
