This allows you to personalize the Nova 7 Wireless far beyond what you can do with most headsets, though you’ll have to purchase them separately.Īll the controls you could want are at your fingertips.

They only need to be clipped into place on the inside, abandoning that iconic velcro-ed, wrap-around design.īoth the ear cups and ski goggle headbands are completely replaceable with several different colorways available from SteelSeries. The steel headband is slimmer, as are the ski goggle headband inserts. These small, circular plates act as an accent instead of covering the entire outside surface as the ones on the Arctis 7 do. Unlike the Arctis 7, the ear cups are thinner except for the raised circular portions that house the replaceable ear cup plates. That’s where most of the similarities end. It also uses similar materials, namely durable-feeling plastic for the earcups and metal for the headband (PVD-coated steel in the case of the Nova 7). The ear cups are oval where they meet the ear pads, and the headset still comes with replaceable ski goggle headbands and ear cup plates.

Though the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless is more than just a light refresh, you can still see the general outline of previous SteelSeries headsets in its design. (Image credit: Future / Michelle Rae Uy) SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless: Design
