Color: Sage & Gold
I don't normally write reviews but these are absolutely stunning and deserve to be looked at. So to start off, I have used many more premium headsets in the past, I've owned the arctis 7, arctis pro, then I moved on to the nova pro, which I have had since release. These take all the good from the older models and amp it up. The more premium materials, they have a nice weighty feel to them, but not at all uncomfortable. They have changed the earpands to kind of a soft leatherette type material with a really soft memory foam on the inside. The ear cups themselves are of nice size, I have rather large ears, and they seem to find perfectly even with glasses. The over all construction is a metal and a really nice plastic that has kind of a soft rubber feel to it. I do expect them to hold up very well over the course of time. Now let's get into the sound. Firstly I do not consider my self an audiophile. These sound amazing from gaming to music. These are a rather large upgrade over the Nova pro. The highs are nice and clear, not jaring. The mids are warm and pleasant, although sometimes they can be a little drowned out by the bass. Now the bass on these shines. They are what I would consider bass heavy, but not muddy. The bass is tight, crisp and punchy. The overall tuning out of the box should be a major step up for most people, and if it's not to your liking you can fine tune the eq and get exactly what you want. The active noice cancellation is the best you can get in a gaming headset. All though it does change the sound slightly you can adjust it back to your preference very easily using the Sonar software. The battery life on real world usage is around 25 ish hours. I've never fully killed the battery. I always swap it when it starts getting low so you're mileage may very slightly. The mic is also an upgrade over the previous generation as well, I use this headset exclusively on my PC for discord, the sound comes through crisp and clear on the boom mic. The headset also has another mic you can use if you don't want the boom mic extended, this mic is clear as well. One of the better features of this headset is being able to be used with multiple devices at once. No messing around it's all just plug and play through the game dac. You can be playing your games, then answer phone calls from Bluetooth on your phone all seamlessly. Long story short these are a premium headset with premium build and sound for a premium price. I would recommend them to anyone, even with the steep price. ... show more

  • Great headset, amazing audio quality, lots of features, extra battery, if you want to splurge on it.
Color: Obsidian
This is a great gaming headset! I was on the fence about buying such an expensive headset, but it checked all the boxes and simplified my setup in the process. I mostly use consoles, primarily my PS5, and previously had to swap my headset between my PS5 and XBOX Series X based on which I wanted to use, but no longer with the Arctis Nova Elite. The audio quality is phenomenal, I can hear things in games I’ve never heard before and with great accuracy on where it is coming from, behind me, to either side, above, they did a great job with the spatialization to help give you that edge. Being able to set different EQ presets based on your preference or pick from the preconfigured once is great. I’ve mostly left the EQ alone and selected one of the presets, I’ve found them to all work well and so I haven’t needed to set a custom EQ. It is nice that you can do it from the App or from the software so I don’t need to have a PC connected all the time. The noise cancellation is great, in some cases almost too good because when someone is calling downstairs for me I can’t hear them. Fit wise there’s a good amount of adjustment and you can wear them for long aging sessions, I do find them to get a little tight after a few hours, but I do have a larger head. If you’ll be using it for longer sessions, the ear pads can get a little warm, I’m currently trying the WC Freeze Nova Pro Wireless - Cooling Gel Earpads and they help a lot without sacrificing audio quality or noise cancellation. Having the second battery that is charged in game hub all the time so you can swap them out easily is a great feature, you’re always ready to go, even if you forgot to plug your headset into charge. I like how the mic stores away back into the headset, it’s super flexible and stays in place, it’s sounds so much better than my old mic and there’s no echo at all. People tell me they can hear so much clearer than they used to be able too. Here’s the challenge, the price, they’re definitely the most expensive headset I’ve ever bought and I flip flopped a lot on getting them, but with being able to use multiple consoles, your PC and phone all at the same time and not need to move your headset around plus an extra battery, I figured I’d give it a shot. I did get a stand to hook them onto instead of laying the on my desk for credenza, I just always make sure to hook them by the outer solid strap and not the inner strap that you can adjust for fit. Note when you’re connecting it, you want to make sure you plug your XBOX into USB-3 so it’s fully compatible, not 100% sure why this is, but the directions say it and the port is labeled that way. You can plug your PC or PlayStation into either USB-1 or 2, the diagram showed the PC into 1, the PlayStation into 2 and XBOX into 3, so that’s how I have my connected. Overall if you’re in the fence and it’s in your budget I would say to go for it, I’m extremely happy with them and they’ve changed my gaming experience for the better. ... show more

  • Superb Headphones
Color: Sage & Gold
I have had this headset for a couple of months now and can comfortably say that this is the best headset I have ever owned. The sound quality is incredible, the build quality is impressive, and user experience is incredibly polished. I have used this device on my Xbox, PC, and Phone and the connection is always stable and sound quality is amazing. The headset is comfortable to wear for extended sessions as well. The ear cups have a generous amount of foam and have plenty of clearance. My wife used this headset to watch a movie, and she usually has comfort issues because she has ear piercings and this was not an issue. We also have different sized heads and the fit was comfortable for both of us. The only issue I can realistically understand with the Nova Elite is the price. This is obviously subjective, and if you can afford it, I highly recommend it. I feel it was more than worth the price tag. I would purchase again without reservations if I had to. ... show more
