A crystal-clear gaming headset is now possible

The company stated the goal was to reinvent the high-end gaming headset. It added that prior to this launch, Hi-Res wireless audio for gaming headsets was not possible, and multi-source connectivity was only conceptual.

Arctis Nova Elite is not just a new product—it is a statement of boundless imagination and the limitless capabilities of SteelSeries. With this new line, we are redefining premium gaming audio, infusing it with inspiration, aspiration, and the magic to transform every moment of gaming into something extraordinary, Ehtisham Rabbani, SteelSeries CEO

The headset's Hi-Res Wireless certification is noted as a market first thanks to the 96kHz/24bit transmission over 2.4GHz and Bluetooth with LC3+ codec.

In terms of design, the Arctis Nove Elite was co-created with designer Jacob Wagner to feature an all-metal frame, minimalist look, and plush memory foam earcups for ergonomics.

Inside are the custom 40mm carbon fiber drivers with a frequency range of 10Hz to 40kHz. SteelSeries claimed it can deliver clean and smooth sound with low distortion as well as enable users to hear precise footsteps, reloads, and ambient cues with its immersive Spatial Sound.

A new feature called OmniPlay in the GameHub allows audio from up to four sources: PC, console, Bluetooth, and Aux—to be mixed simultaneously. 

The headset also includes 200+ game-specific audio presets, Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), AI noise-rejecting microphones, and a dual-battery system.

This launch is a significant milestone in our audio technology journey. I am confident that, through our commitment to quality and innovation, SteelSeries will continue to deliver groundbreaking experiences to gamers. Dickson Lee, VP and GM for Asia Pacific
