If you own a SteelSeries gaming headset, then there’s a chance that you’ve overlooked one of its lesser-known features: Nova Booster Pack compatibility. If you’re not familiar, a Nova Booster Pack is a small bundle that contains some extra parts for your peripheral. They’re designed to work with most of the current Arctis Nova line, including the brilliant Arctis Nova 7P and the more premium Arctis Nova Pro.
In the box, you get a replacement headband and two small speaker plates. If you have a compatible headset, your existing speaker plates (the little disks located on the outside of the earcups) are held on by tiny magnets meaning that they can be swapped out at a moment’s notice. The headband is a similar story, attached via small clips that are easy to undo with just a little force. The ability to change these parts is a clear win in terms of repairability, especially when headbands are liable to become worn out over time, but it also presents an intriguing degree of cosmetic customization.
