Whether you're drumming up an interest in the Arctis Nova Elite or already have one, this is one cool piece of tech to check out.

Arctis Nova Elite takes it a step further with new Carbon Fiber audio drivers.
What are Carbon Fiber Drivers?

There's a lot that differentiates Arctis Nova Elite. But right now, we are going to focus on an internal piece of innovation that took painstaking years of thinking and ideation.
The SteelSeries team wanted to create more than just a gaming headset. We wanted to bridge the gap to that "audiophile" crowd, which would normally look down upon headsets made just for shouting out enemy positions in Fortnite. That's why this headset is the world's first hi-res wireless certified gaming audio system.
But when it comes to the driver itself, extensive testing led us to carbon fiber, for its unmatched acoustic properties. There is a range of benefits:
Very even high-frequency response
Lightweight, yet rigid: overall, we wanted the headset to be as lightweight as possible.
This rigidity allows the diaphragm to stretch tightly and tautly, which reduces distortion. So the audio becomes clearer.
This enables a pistonic motion for ultra-accurate sound reproduction.
The result: a fusion of audiophile quality in a gaming headset. Immersive spatialization that helps them locate footsteps, reloads, and other ambient cues. Detailed and clear reproduction.
This prioritizes midrange sounds and bass, which is what lends to that clear reproduction of audio.
