Description, highlights, and specifications from the retailer feed.

A gaming peripheral unlike any other, experience World’s First Hi-Res Wireless Gaming Headset with the Arctis Nova Elite. SteelSeries once again shatters convention with a gaming headset designed to deliver expectation-upending audio. With rich 96kHz/24bit sound emitted over 2.4GHz and Bluetooth, experience audiophile performance. Featuring LC3+ codec for low-latency, high-fidelity wireless audio, paired with next-level Carbon Speaker Drivers for unreal clarity, constructed with a brass 2-piece that holds the construction in place and enables a pistonic motion for ultra-accurate sound reproduction. Retreat into your gaming sanctuary with the best active noise cancellation in gaming, reducing up to 42% noise than competitors, and that's just the start of the list of ultimate gamer-focused features introduced by Arctis Nova Elite. With the all-powerful GameHub, freely mix and connect up to four consoles and devices at the same time (a world first) without any loss of clarity. No matter your platform of choice, onboard AI noise rejection projects your voice while cutting out the rest. You're in complete control the whole time, whether that's with useful shortcuts on the GameHub, a mobile app that introduced game-specific EQ audio profiles for an unmatched experience, or with Sonar, the free software for PC. No drawbacks here with the battery, as that's solved thanks to a dual, hot-swappable battery system, featuring fast charge. Beyond the audio, the stylish build, created in collaboration with Jakob Wagner, shines in Sage & Gold or Obsidian Black editions, with plush vegan leather for your ears and premium cold-rolled steel and die-cast aluminum finishes for their eyes. Everything comes together in this ultimate, premier gaming headset from SteelSeries, crafted for an audiophile experience.
