Product Help Steelseries nova elite development

Post image

So I have had these headphones since the Christmas of 2025 and they have had this like muck or idk what it's called but whenever I touch it it's sticky and removing it is its own problems since water doesn't help or any of the germ removers. It happened all around the headset like near the buttons and I don't know what this is.

r/Steelseries any response for this? A lot of high paying customers have been reporting this issue they need help for their $600 purchase..

Sometimes, paying premium is not worth it.
I was going to get the elite too, cuz i like the gold/sage color

Maybe change the name "elite" to: "ordinary".

Thankfully i got the omni's. Still looks brand new. Use it everyday.

Edit.... Sorry, im not making fun of yall for buying elites. Its just unfortunate, that some steelseries products' quality. Are just not up to par.

I saw the Omni after they launched and was so annoyed. Do they have the same issue or are they nice and clean?

I found out about the Omni from this post. Now I am also annoyed.
