SteelSeries unleashes a wave of awesome new Xbox and PC headsets in time for the holiday season

The holidays are almost here, and many of us are starting to think about gifts, including headphones. SteelSeries is introducing new headsets to its well-known Arctis line, hoping to be on your shopping list this year.

SteelSeries Arctis headsets have won more awards than any other gaming audio line. The two latest models continue that tradition of excellence, improving on the popular design with cutting-edge technology.

Meet the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2

The Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2 offers a new level of gaming sound with the all-new Arctis App. This app lets you easily customize your audio settings to get the perfect sound for any game.

Whether you’re watching a movie, listening to music, or playing one of the 200+ compatible games, SteelSeries audio presets help you get the best possible sound. The Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2 even has special presets designed for popular games like Call of Duty, GTA, and Fortnite.

The next generation Arctis headset offers more than just a new app. It also lets you connect using both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth at the same time, giving you complete wireless flexibility.

The Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2 lets you easily switch between game and entertainment audio, making it super versatile. You can listen to TikToks while waiting in a game lobby without needing to change headsets, or even chat on Discord and Xbox Party Chat at the same time – it’s perfect for multitasking!

The Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2 is designed to work seamlessly with all your gaming devices. It also features a significantly improved battery life, offering 6 hours of playtime after just a 15-minute charge. And with a single charge, you can enjoy up to 54 hours of gaming and multitasking before needing to recharge.

The SteelSeries website is currently selling the Arctis Nova 7X (for Xbox), the Arctis Nova 7 (for PC), and the Arctis Nova 7P (for PlayStation) for $200. These wireless headsets come in black and white, and a new magenta color is also available – I’m definitely planning to buy one!

A new flagship emerges in the Arctis Nova Elite

SteelSeries has expanded its popular Arctis headset line with a focus on premium quality. The new Arctis Nova Elite isn’t just more expensive – it’s a completely new approach to high-end gaming audio, and it’s the first wireless gaming system to deliver hi-res sound.

These headphones deliver exceptional audio quality – even critical listeners will notice the difference. They use high-quality, custom-built 40mm Carbon Fiber speaker drivers and a special brass ring design. SteelSeries calls this combination a ‘pistonic’ driver, comparing its movement to the piston inside a car engine, resulting in powerful and clear sound. The headphones connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz with 24-bit/96kHz transmission.

The Arctis Nova Elite isn’t just a headset – it represents SteelSeries’ dedication to innovation and pushing the boundaries of gaming audio. This new line is designed to deliver a truly premium experience, turning every gaming session into something special and immersive.

Putting aside the technical specifics, the Arctis Nova Elite works with SteelSeries’ new GameHub software, which features a technology called OmniPlay. OmniPlay lets you connect to your PC, PlayStation, and Xbox at the same time, and it allows you to combine audio from up to four different sources while still maintaining clear sound quality.

It’s often tricky to use the same gaming headset with your Xbox, PC, and PlayStation. Many gamers end up needing different headsets for each device. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite solves this problem with its unique design – it has three USB-C ports, letting you connect it to all your systems at once. You can chat with friends on Discord on your computer, watch videos on your laptop, and play games on your Xbox, all without ever switching headsets.

The Arctis Nova Elite offers more than just OmniPlay. Similar to the Arctis Nova 7, it works with the Arctis App, giving you access to over 200 audio settings customized for different games.

Stay fully focused while gaming thanks to active noise cancellation. Your friends will always hear you clearly, regardless of what system they’re using, with the high-quality, automatically switching microphone. Plus, the innovative power system with dual batteries gives you virtually endless playtime.

The headset features a stylish and durable metal frame built for comfort, using high-quality materials. Although it doesn’t come in the popular magenta color, it’s available in a distinctive sage green and gold finish.

The Arctis Nova Elite offers a premium experience with its high-end features and stylish design, but it’s quite expensive. It’s available from SteelSeries for approximately $600.
