I picked up the Nova Elite yesterday after dropping off my Maxwell 2 return at UPS. I am loving everything about them so far except the price. I was trying to replace my Blackshark v3 Pro with the Maxwell 2 which didn't work out but I wanted to try that before spending the money for the Nova Elite.

I use these and they are great. Except for the tiny detail that whenever NC is on I have a permanent waterfall in my left ear… Edit: typo

I feel like my comment come off very negative. I love the headset, without a doubt the best headset I’ve ever had. But when NC is on there is static in my left ear. Thankfully turning off NC solves it and since the NC isn’t a deal breaker for me I’m not really bothered by it

Well for me it happened like 3 days after purchase. So hopefully you won’t have the same issue if you’ve had them a while and they’re working

I just got these I have the a50x and the nova pro 9 and the maxwells and these are my go to for fps. I just like that I can listen to music or watch videos on my phone while gaming. The software it's still in beta but it's been working fine for me. Plus they are super comfy can game for hours. And the foot steps are clear I can follow the enemy behind the wall. I don't use the mic because I have a stand alone mic on my desk but love that it's detachable and battery life is infinite. Haven't changed it since I got it and I play daily 6-8 hours. And it's still at 83 percent. Also I love that I can mute the headset on the DAC.

I got steelseries arctic nova something. Work both with Xbox and PS5 and any Bluetooth device (simultaneously, can do both phone and console to not miss out on calls for example).

I use Arctis Nova Pros with the PUBG profile I end up hearing everything well before my whole team and in exactly the right direction, it's insane!

Best headset for PC on the market. Have it too. Only reason I use my nova pros is cause the dual BT mode. Otherwise the Maxwell's are king!

I have the Pulse Elite and Arctis Nova Pros, almost exclusively use the Pulse Elites. Great sound stage, volume, battery life is solid, comfy and I like how the mute pairs with the controller. Of the few hundred hours it's been used, I've had it disconnect maybe 3 or 4 times for a second and it auto-reconnects. And Sidetone could be a tad louder. Otherwise, I love it and it's great for the price IMO.
