Product details

The Arctis Nova Elite is a wireless gaming headset designed for exceptional sound and comfort. It offers audiophile performance with 96 kHz/24-bit sound over 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connectivity. Thanks to the LC3+ codec, it enables low-latency, high-resolution wireless sound. The next-generation carbon fibre speaker drivers ensure precise sound reproduction and exceptional clarity.

The headset's Active Noise Cancelling effectively reduces ambient noise for an immersive gaming experience. With GameHub technology, up to four consoles and devices can be connected simultaneously without compromising sound quality. The integrated AI noise cancellation optimises voice transmission by effectively filtering out background noise.

Practical functions such as game-specific EQ audio profiles, which can be customised via a mobile app or the free Sonar software for PC, offer additional control over the sound experience. The dual battery system with quick charge function allows seamless battery swapping to ensure uninterrupted gaming.

The design of the headset combines functionality with aesthetics. It was developed in collaboration with Jakob Wagner and is available in the colours Sage & Gold or Obsidian Black. High-quality materials such as cold-rolled steel, die-cast aluminium and soft vegan leather ensure comfort and durability.
