SteelSeries played itself into a corner with the release of the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless back in 2022. It created a headset with practically no flaws, one that became my immediate daily favourite and retained that position for years, thanks to super-impressive comfort, a lovely design, and sound quality with ANC that simply did a phenomenal job.
Now, years later, it's trying to one-up itself, but has correctly recognised that the only way to do so is to go even more premium. The Arctis Nova Elite doesn't replace the Nova Pro Wireless, which will continue to be made and sold, rather, it's a new ultra-high-end option for those happy to spend more than the cost of a PlayStation 5 on a headset alone.
