SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite Sage & Gold

Een hele dure, luxe headset, gemaakt voor de audiofiel (Le Moi) en liefhebbers van games. Ja, ik heb er €649,- voor neergetikt en heb een paar weken getwijfeld voordat ik hem aanschafte. Ik wilde meer immersie in Battlefield 6, ik wilde alle explosies luid horen, heli's rondom horen vliegen, het schieten en het exploderen. Met deze nieuwe Steelseries-headset is dit toch echt heel goed gelukt.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite is the priciest gaming headset at $1,349. If that hasn't put you off, the Elites make a solid value proposition for that eyewatering RRP, including best-in-class comfort and platform compatibility. This could viably be the only gaming headset you'll ever need in the home, and they also work well as everyday headphones.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite are very good for wireless gaming. They have a GameHub wireless transmitter that supports USB or Line connections to four devices (three audio streams simultaneously). Via this 2.4GHz connection, the headphones support up to 96kHz, have 24-bit audio, have low audio latency, and offer oodles of customization options that persist even when you're gaming on consoles. You can also control some limited settings on the GameHub's control wheel, allowing you to switch to a different EQ without leaving the action. The headphones' boom mic is excellent for communicating with teammates, or egging on opponents on voice chat, too. And the hot-swappable battery system lets you stay wireless indefinitely. The cherry on top? The ANC keeps you isolated from your surroundings, letting you focus on creating chaos on the battlefield and not on chaos in your living room.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite is a sublime gaming headset with deep and detailed audio plus some of the most versatile wireless connectivity out there, and a stylish, comfortable fit. What's stopping me from wholesale recommending it is that immense price tag.

Wie vroeger altijd teleurgesteld was door de muzikale audiokwaliteit van een gaming-headset, vindt in de Arctis Nova Elite een koptelefoon die op vlak van geluidskwaliteit even goed scoort met de nieuwste Call of Duty als met een playlist in Qobuz.
