CHICAGO – September 30, 2025 – 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,” said Ehtisham Rabbani, SteelSeries CEO. “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.”

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 24-Bit/96KHz 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 for a “gaming lifestyle.” Gamers can now go 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 that provides unlimited battery life with a dual-battery system. *Independently lab tested against key competitors.

Materials make the difference. A sleek and stylish Danish aesthetic has been co-designed with renowned designer Jacob Wagner, combining Scandinavian minimalism with functional elegance and exceptional comfort through premium materials and ergonomic features. With an all-metal frame, metal control wheel, and plush memory foam earcups, the Arctis Nova Elite enables gamers to immerse themselves in luxury.  

With its innovative design, tech, and high-end materials, gamers can truly immerse themselves in their favorite games, entertainment, work, and play without limitations…  Now, that’s Elite. The Arctis Nova Elite is available at SteelSeries.com and select retailers around the world starting on September 30 for the following MSRP: NA $599.99 | UK £599.99 | EMEA €649.99 | APAC $649.99.
