SteelSeries Unveils New Gaming Headsets for Xbox and PC: Arctis Nova Series Shines

Elevate your gaming audio with SteelSeries’ latest Arctis headsets, blending cutting-edge tech and stylish design for Xbox and PC players.

As the holiday season draws near, if you’re anything like me, your wishlist might already include some fresh, top-tier headphones. SteelSeries is stepping up, hoping their newest additions to the beloved Arctis Audio lineup will snag a spot on your gift list.

The SteelSeries Arctis family is no stranger to acclaim. This award-winning range of gaming audio gear has set standards for quality and style. The two freshly launched models continue this proud tradition, combining sleek design with innovative technology that’s wired for serious play.

Meet the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2 is a next-gen gaming audio system that lets you control sound in real-time through the brand-new Arctis app. Whether you’re settling in for a movie night, jamming to a fresh album, or diving into one of over 200 supported games, there’s a preset tailor-made for the ultimate listening experience.

And it doesn’t stop there—this headset even offers presets for three fan-favorites: Call of Duty, GTA, and Fortnite. Talk about gaming-specific customization!

One of the standout features? Dual wireless capabilities. You can stream audio simultaneously via 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, giving you the kind of freedom wireless fans dream about.

Thanks to the dual audio mixing, this headset lets you effortlessly blend gaming and everyday entertainment. Imagine jumping into Call of Duty: Warzone while scrolling TikTok in the lobby—no need to switch devices. It’s like living a double life, chatting on Discord while hosting an Xbox Party Chat, all at once.

The Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2 doesn’t just talk the talk on compatibility, it walks the walk. It pairs beautifully with various gaming platforms, matching the versatility of its users. Plus, with a beefed-up battery life of 54 hours and a lightning-fast 15-minute quick charge that nets you 6 hours of playtime, you can keep the action going without pausing.

You can grab the Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Gen 2 for Xbox, the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2 for PC, or the Arctis Nova 7P Wireless Gen 2 for PlayStation, priced around $200. Available in classic black and white—and a snazzy new purple shade that’s practically begging to be added to your cart once you finish reading this.

Enter the New Flagship: Arctis Nova Elite

For audiophiles craving luxury, meet the Arctis Nova Elite in sophisticated sage and gold—a headset that’s a dream come true. SteelSeries took their already successful Arctis range and dialed up the elegance and tech to the max.

The Arctis Nova Elite is not just another headset; it’s the world’s first wireless gaming audio system delivering 24-bit/96 kHz high-resolution audio over 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth. Thanks to custom 40mm carbon fiber drivers paired with a unique brass ring design, it creates what SteelSeries calls a “piston-like” sound experience—pure power and clarity wrapped in one.

"Arctis Nova Elite is not just a new product, it embodies SteelSeries' limitless imagination and capability. This new line redefines premium gaming audio, filling it with inspiration, passion, and magic to turn every gaming moment into something extraordinary."

— Ehtisham Rabbani, CEO of SteelSeries

The tech wizardry doesn’t stop there. The headset works in tandem with SteelSeries’ new GameHub featuring OmniPlay technology—letting you connect simultaneously to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Imagine mixing audio from up to four sources without losing quality.

Switching headsets between platforms is a hassle many gamers know all too well. The Arctis Nova Elite solves this with three USB-C inputs, making your headset the ultimate hub for multi-platform gaming. Chat with friends on Discord while watching TikTok on your laptop and blasting through Black Ops 7 on your Xbox, all with the same headset.

OmniPlay is just part of the package. Like the Nova 7, the Elite supports the Arctis app’s 200+ game sound presets. The headset also features active noise cancellation that blocks distractions and a microphone that auto-switches between 32 kHz/16-bit modes, ensuring crystal-clear voice communication regardless of platform.

What’s more, the Infinite Power system gives you unlimited playtime by swapping between two batteries seamlessly. All this tech is housed in a sleek, full-metal frame that balances durability with comfort.

Though the Elite skips the flashy purple, its unique sage and gold finish stands out with subtle sophistication. At around $600, it’s a high-end investment for gamers who want the best of the best.
