One of the few downsides to the original design were that the ANC nubbins inside the earcup could touch the ears of some people in an annoying and potentially uncomfortable way, and it&#8217;s this issue that the new revision is designed to address. <\/p>\n<p>You could work around the original problem with third-party ear pads with thicker designs, such as these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/WC-Replacement-Steelseries-Durability-Thickness-90s-Black\/dp\/B0BK5B2S8G?tag=eurgam-df-uk-21\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">great-looking options from Wicked Cushions<\/a>, but it&#8217;s good to see that SteelSeries has taken the feedback on board and hopefully eliminated the issue for good on all Nova Pro headsets going forward. I didn&#8217;t find the ANC mic touched my ear on the original model, but it&#8217;s clear even from a surface inspection that the new design is a little less prominent and therefore unlikely to cause irritation. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/digitalfoundry-2024-our-favourite-gaming-headset-gets-a-new-white-version-hardware-improvements\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/digitalfoundry-2024-our-favourite-gaming-headset-gets-a-new-white-version-hardware-improvements\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SteelSeries&#8217; Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is more than a good gaming headset for all consoles plus PC &#8211; it&#8217;s our current top pick overall, beating out names like Corsair and Logitech, thanks to its combination of sound quality, comfort and convenience.
