SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite

Ultimately, beyond the ability to connect more consoles, the upgrades are mostly meaningful for listening to music, and less impactful for gaming. For multi-console owners with deep pockets and an expansive music library, this is a feature-packed headset with no real competitors, but I know I'd have trouble finding room for them in my new PC budget.

SteelSeries is launching a luxury, premium gaming headset. The $599 Nova Elite includes a metal frame, carbon fiber speaker drivers, and much more.

With industry-leading quality in audio performance, comfort, connectivity, design, and more, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite is the ultimate gaming headset you can buy – as long as money is no object.

The Arctis Nova Elite is packed with features, like seamless multi-device connectivity and extensive game presets. Still, the $600 price tag is steep and only really worth it if you game on multiple platforms and want a high-end headset that doubles as everyday headphones.

SteelSeries' Arctis Nova Elite is an unbelievably stunning headset, one that makes all games sing – although there's no escaping its astronomical price tag, which holds it back from a 5-star rating. If you have the budget, though, then I've never used anything better – ensuring it earns its Elite name.

A true “does it all” headset with great gaming connectivity, effective ANC and wonderfully precise audio. The Arctis Nova Elite is mighty pricey, but could be the only pair of headphones you’ll need.
