WC HeadbandZ Arctis Nova - Upgraded Silicone Headband for Arctis Nova Headsets by Wicked Cushions - Enhanced Flexibility, Comfort, and Style with Matching Earpad Designs | 90's Black

This headband looks great! The black camo design gives my headset a cleaner, more modern look, and it matches well with the rest of the gear. The silicone material feels durable, is easy to wipe clean, and offers a comfortable fit during long sessions. The only minor hiccup was installation the first time. The silicone was stiff enough that it took a bit of effort to push onto the pegs. Once it’s on, though, it pops on and off much more easily for cleaning or swapping. A light pre‑stretch of the punch holes before fitting can make that first install smoother. Overall, it’s a stylish, comfortable upgrade that’s low‑maintenance and adds a bit of personality to the headset.

Delivered within 9 days without damage in the Philippines. Build quality is good, soft silicone. Longer compared to stock but still won't hit the top headband. Very comfortable, no discomfort after hours of use. This material I think won't absorb odors. The only downside is dust and lint seems to stick quite easily to the headband. The issue I had with the stock headband is I feel discomfort at the top of my head after a bit of time. I think the headband gets stretched quite a bit because there is not a lot of adjustment available with the Nova 5. I didn't have a hard time during installation. Just line up the hole then use 2 fingers at opposite sides so it goes in (giggity). Long nails not needed. When it comes to value, It is of good quality but I don't really think it is worth it considering there are also other cheaper headbands available in our market. I just bought this one because of the free shipping requirement since I also bought the StealthZ Earpads, so there's some value there.

Very easy installation not sure why some reviews claim otherwise. The band is plenty long actually longer than the stock band. Not sure if WC has made a change in their designs but the band installs very easily due to its length and you don’t even need to stretch it at all. Only thing is the holes on it are tighter than the stock ones which is actually a good thing but just pinch around the holes with your fingertips or nails and they go in fairly easily took me less than 2-3mins to install them. The band itself is smoother than the stock ones and it’s made out of soft silicone which won’t slide off of your head like the stock ones tend to do and it also feels much cooler and look better as well. The silicone material they used is of high quality and it doesn’t seem like it would ever wear out. Overall my money was well spent!

Let’s be real—the stock headband on the SteelSeries Arctis Nova is fine, until it's not. It sags, it gets worn out, and it's boring. This is the fix.

This headband feels much more durable than the original cloth one. It’s stiff and sturdy but still comfortable — it doesn’t pull my hair or irritate my head. I actually prefer it over the cloth type that came with the headset. The only minor issue is that I sometimes knock the headband loose when pulling on the headset, but overall, it seems like it will last a very long time.

I've known WC had the headband for the Arctis Nova Pro for sometime but I didn't want to spend the money if I didn't need it. However, about two weeks ago, I lost the original soft headband that came with the headphones and there is no way for me to comfortably wear these headphones without a headband. I also needed them cus I use them for online work meetings so I hurriedly ordered this WC headband as a replacement and now I'm wondering why I didn't do this sooner! The WC headband is so much sturdier than the original headband. It feels more durable so it doesn't feel like it'll stretch overtime like the original headband did. It also fits more snugly so I put it on and didn't have to keep fixing it as the holes given to place the headband on the original, still didn't have them sitting 100% comfortably on my head but these do!!! An extra bonus is that it has prettier patterns and colors too. It wasn't as easy to put on the headphones, took me some extra effort to get the pegs in the holes, but worth it for the stability.

Let's start with the bad reviews of installation. If you can tie your shoes then you should be able to install the band to your headset. If not here's a trick that I used, a butter knife, the top side, just to help seat it. Easy peazy! Second, these bands I feel are by far way more comfortable, plus they look great. Just had it a few days now but it's great. Fantastic upgrade.

Works very well and should outlast original head band strap on my arctis nova 5x black camo is the one I purchased
