There comes a time when every brand looks within and asks, “How do we push the industry and culture forward?” Today, with revolutionary advancements in gaming audio technology and advanced features, SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, debuts a groundbreaking headset that truly transcends the needs of a gamer who wants audiophile-grade performance. Introducing the Arctis Nova Elite, the world’s first Hi-Res Wireless Certified headphones for gaming.

At its core, SteelSeries is passionate about creating industry-defining products. For the brand’s newest innovation, the goal was simple: reinvent the best high-end gaming headset on the planet – and take it to an all-new level. Before today’s launch of the Arctis Nova Elite, Hi-Res wireless audio in a gaming headset just wasn’t possible – the technology was not available, and the ability to connect, mix, and play up to four sources on PC, Console, Bluetooth, and Line-In simultaneously was merely an idea on a sketch pad.

“SteelSeries exists to ignite possibility and elevate every gamer to their full potential… 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

“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

The launch of the Arctis Nova Elite is notable because the headset is the first in the market to be Hi-Res wireless certified, catering specifically to gamers who demand audiophile-grade sound. Lee highlighted this as a major milestone, affirming SteelSeries’ ongoing commitment to delivering groundbreaking gaming experiences through superior quality and innovation especially to gamers seeking an exception gaming experience only found in premium quality hardware and software.

Pushing the envelope with innovation, design, and engineering, SteelSeries is introducing the first Hi-Res Wireless Certified headphones for gaming that deliver breakthrough performance with audiophile-grade sound through 96kHz/24bit transmission over 2.4GHz and Bluetooth, powered by a new GameHub and next-gen LC3+ codec. The ultimate clarity is achieved with custom 40mm Carbon Fiber Speaker Drivers, which provide incredible new levels of accuracy and performance, capable of reproducing frequencies from 10Hz to 40kHz. These two-piece drivers deliver stunningly realistic soundscapes, and a custom-designed brass ring adds rigidity, allowing for a truly ‘pistonic’ driver, much like a piston in a car engine.

Introducing an industry-first technology, the Arctis Nova Elite’s new GameHub has been purpose-built fora “gaming lifestyle.”Gamers can nowgo beyond standard simultaneous 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth audio with OmniPlay – by connecting a PC, PlayStation, and Xbox simultaneously, and mixing audio from up to four sources (PC, Console, Bluetooth, and Aux) in perfect harmony without loss of clarity. The Arctis Nova Elite delivers seamless transitions between all connected devices for true audio multitasking with Triple USB-C inputs that allow gamers to connect any system. Players can chat on Discord, be in a game lobby, and watch a TikTok all at the same time.

Additional features include the Arctis App with 200+  game-specific audio presets that can be changed on-the-fly, the best Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) in gaming*, 32kHz/16-bit Auto-Switching Microphones with AI Noise Rejection that can block up to 97% of background noise, and an Infinite Power System thatprovides unlimited battery life with a dual-battery system. *Independently lab tested against key competitors.
