It’s surprising how well it works as the headband itself isn’t made of plastic-y material either it's made of a thicker material that feels a bit like metal.

This helps prevent the headband from pressing down directly on top of your head, and acts as a better buffer than headsets that simply add extra cushioning to that area. Notably, the Nova 7X sports an adjustable fabric headband under the main headband where it meets the top of your head. The headset is remarkably lightweight and free of a lot of the unnecessary hard plastic edges you see in other headsets that, while aesthetically look cool, can also cause the headset to feel clunky and stiff. The first thing that stood out to me about the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X was how incredibly comfortable it is to wear, even over extended periods of time. Not only does the Nova 7X come with some nifty features, its ease of use and comfort while wearing make it a standout. If you’ve been looking for a new headset, particularly if you’re a fan of SteelSeries products, you’re absolutely going to want to take a closer look at the new SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X.
