It would be appropriate to address the price before I give my thoughts on the headset. £599 is quite ridiculous for a gaming headset. That's not to suggest what is on offer isn't a quality product & you kinda feel you're getting your money's worth after using it. But the sticker shock is real, especially when you compare it to rival headsets - which I will get into later. I went through some mental gymnastics to justify paying this much for a gaming headset. Steelseries will no doubt use the current economy as an excuse, but the reality is £450 might be more palatable. Okay, so the price is shocking, so why have I awarded this headset 5 stars? Build quality & Design The build materials of the headset is second to none. A metal headband coated in a quality leatherette fabric. The plush, memory foam ear cushions (removeable). The gloss metal forks just exude premium quality. Even down to the metal volume dial. Great attention to detail is most evident. Comfort wise, I can't fault it. The clamp force is slightly stronger than the previous model (pro wireless), but it doesn't affect comfort one bit. It is clearly a design choice to assist ANC performance. The base station is also upgraded from the previous model. Premium quality is demonstrated throughout. Features It does everything the previous model does + more. You can customise settings via the base station/DAC, mobile phone app or PC software. There are so many EQs to choose from, including a long list of game-specific adjustments. ANC (active noise cancellation) was clearly a focus, because it is now right up there with high-end, dedicated Bluetooth headphones. This easily could be your everyday headset for on-the-go & travel. The passive isolation is also very good, so some won't even feel the need to activate ANC whilst gaming. The headset is compatible with everything you can think of for gaming (PS5, Switch 1 & 2, Xbox & PC). There's no specific Xbox/PS5 models to choose from this time. Mic The retractable mic is better than the pro wireless. The mic cable is now very flexible & stays in shape when you bend it (the previous model never did this). Voice is clear & won't have friends complaining how you sound. Whilst I wouldn't describe the mic as class leading (Astro A50X or Gen 5), it is very good. Arguably the best aspect of the mic is the noise cancellation - which can be adjusted. This feature of the headset is amazing & doesn't invite unwanted hiss. The internal mics on the headset also works extremely well. I expected my voice to sound like I was in a cave, but it doesn't. So using the internal mics for Bluetooth calls works very well. It's somewhat surprising Steelseries put so much emphasis upon the noise isolation & internal mics. Sound quality The key selling point of this headset are the new audio drivers. 40mm carbon fibre drivers, with a brass outer. Reminiscent of graphene drivers I've experienced in the Astro A50 Gen 5, distortion is significantly reduced. The performance is very similar to a planar magnetic driver, as seen in the Audeze Maxwell. The difference here, the audio is warmer & less clinical than the Maxwell. I prefer it. Similar in clarity, but the bass reproduction has more impact, whilst retaining detail. It's the immediate thing you will notice when listening to music or playing video games. Playing the newly released Battlefield 6 with this headset is a real treat. I'm not going to suggest they are some kind of cheat code to enable you to play better. But situational awareness is hightened. Playing the opening level to Indiana Jones & The Great Circle again introduced me to audio I hadn't noticed previously. The level of detail in the environmental audio helped put a smile on my face after spending so much (I haven't told the missus!). I haven't even messed with other EQs so far because the flat EQ out-of-the-box sounds so good. I'm sure I will tinker with various EQs in time. I genuinely cannot find fault with the audio. It's a significant step-up from the previous model. Directional audio is what you expect from a high-end headset. I'm using on a PS5 with 3D audio enabled & it's extremely accurate & immersive. It avoids that cavernous, almost echoey environmental audio of the Nova Pro wireless. There's great separation in every aspect of the soundstage, with voices in-game coming across super clear. Comparisons Audiophile's may still point to the Audeze Maxwell as having the best audio for gaming. Technically, they may be right. But audio is subjective. Even taking my own subjectivity out of it, the Nova Elite's run the Maxwell's damn close. I simply prefer a warmer sound, whilst retaining detail - which is what you get with the Elite's. Plus I prefer a headset that is comfortable to wear for long periods, which is why I rule out the Maxwell's as a direct rival. I would say the closest rival to the Nova Elite, in terms of comfort, build, audio & features, is the Astro A50 Gen 5. They sound great, but not quite as good as the Nova Elite. The A50's don't compare in terms of features either. But importantly, they are a lot cheaper! So whilst my 5 star rating seems like I'm giving a full endorsement of the Nova Elite, & commend Steelseries for the quality on offer. There are some good, more reasonably priced products to choose from. Whilst I would now put the Nova Elite at the very top of gaming headsets currently available. If I was to do a value for money list, the Astro A50 Gen 5 reign supreme - which you can get for around £230 in a sale. I hope my review has provided some help with your purchasing decision, along with some food for thought. I can only give my opinion on how good the headset is, not whether you as a potential buyer thinks it's worth the expense or not? I don't have buyer's remorse, but there will undoubtedly be others who will. Read more

Die dzt beste Multiplattformlösung. Ich hatte bis jetzt ein FOSI K7 Gaming im Einsatz, daran einen HD620S von Sennheiser. Am TOSLINK hing die PS5 (via USB auf TOS Converter) und am COAX hing die Switch, ebenfalls via eines Converter. Insgesamt also 2 extra Kabel und zwei Extra Devices und keine Möglichkeit das Mikrofon auf den Konsolen zu nutzen, Gleiches galt auch bei Einsatz des Roland Bridge CAST X. Eine Konsole war hier ohne MIKRO. Alles also nicht ideal und mittels USB / TOSLINK / COAX oder HDMI nat. auch eine "Bastellösung" die mir nicht erlaubte, während des Sockens über den Mac Discord zu nutzen, bzw Telefonanrufe über BT zu führen. Das alles regelt das Arctis Nova Elite. USB1 ist hierbei immer aktiv und der andere aktive USB + BT + Line In wird einfach dazu gemischt. GENIAL. Nebenbei lädt die Basestation immer noch den zweiten AKKU mit, so das man ohne Downtime oder an das Ladekabel zu müssen direkt weiter machen kann! Weiters ist der tauschbare Akku sicher auch von Vorteil, sollte der mal zu ersetzen sein. Diese Komfortfeatures alleine würden fast schon den Preis rechtfertigen... ABER: Die Soundqualität ist hervorragend, für ein Gaming Headset und Details höre ich die gleichen wie auf dem Sennheiser HD620S raus. Natürlich klingt es erst mal etwas anders, als dass, was ich gewohnt bin, aber eben nicht schlechter und dank EQ auch anpassbar. Ich bin überzeugt! Ach ja: Verarbeitung ist auch OK, lediglich die Earcups sind etwas zu kuschelig! Aber dafür gibt es Ersatz am Drittanbietermarkt. ABZUG gibts beim Preis. Der ist verdammt hoch, und wird sicher einige Käufer abschrecken. Aber für mich ist es genau die Lösung, die ich gesucht habe.. somit "verschmerzbar" Read more

まず結論からいってしまうと、このArctis Nova Eliteは価格相応の製品ではありません。 私のように有り余るお金がある人か、Steelseriesの信者、または情弱の人が買うような製品です。 これよりも4万円以上安くて、この製品よりも高品質で高機能な製品がほかにあるので、そちらをおすすめします。 今回はAmazonでの購入ではなく返品できないので諦めますが、Amazonで買っていたら間違いなく返品していました。 Read more

Its great, amazing even. But my biggest gripe is the faux leather for the earcups. Those stuff dont last long before peeling. Passive sound isolations works good with faux leather but not worth the eventual peeling issue. price is steep though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Read more
