TechRadar Unveils Review of SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite: A $600 Headset for Serious Gamers

London, UK – TechRadar has released an in-depth review of the new SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite, a high-end gaming headset priced at $599.99 / £599.99. Hardware Writer Dashiell Wood presented the device, noting its potential as one of the most expensive gaming headsets tested by the publication. The Arctis Nova Elite is distinguished by its Hi-Res certified wireless gaming capabilities, offering 24-bit transmission over its 2.5GHz connection or Bluetooth. It features 40mm carbon fiber drivers with custom-designed brass rings, aiming to deliver an ultimate audio experience for serious gaming audiophiles. The headset is available in black or a sage and gold colorway, constructed with premium materials, including a metal frame. Managing Editor Rob Dwiartested the headset for several weeks, reporting that its audio quality is comparable to high-end music listening headphones, such as the Sennheiser HD 550. He praised its performance across PC games and on the PlayStation 5 with "Ghost of Yotei," highlighting its incredible detail, clarity, and powerful active noise cancellation. The device is also noted for its balanced sound profile for music and dual built-in mics for video calls. A key feature is the Omnisplay function, facilitated by the new Wireless Gamehub, which includes a control wheel and screen. This hub enables seamless compatibility across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile, allowing simultaneous connections. The review suggests that while the headset offers premium features and performance, its high price point makes it accessible primarily to those with a substantial budget.
