Overview
- The Arctis Nova Elite is on sale now for $599.99 in two colorways through SteelSeries and major retailers.
- SteelSeries says it is the first gaming headset with Hi-Res Wireless certification, delivering 24-bit/96 kHz over the LC3plus codec via Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz, which requires compatible source devices.

- A dual, hot-swappable battery system is included; SteelSeries advertises up to 60 hours per battery, while early hands-on testing reports roughly 30 hours in typical use.
