The Arctis Nova Elite feels as luxurious as you'd hope, given the cost; and while it's not the lightest, SteelSeries has judged the comfort very well – there's plenty of adjustability and the clamping force feels spot-on. It's only really the earcup logos that give this away as a headset designed primarily for gaming.
In-game audio is engaging and dynamic, with transparent highs that give breaking glass real texture. At the other end of the spectrum, explosions and gunshots have wonderful low-end punch without being boomy. Musical performance is just as impressive too.
