I had a chance to check out the Arctis 7 headphones from SteelSeries and came away quite impressed. The ski goggle headband was definitely one of the most comfortable I’ve ever worn, and its inclusion allows for added customization. Today, SteelSeries has announced some additional headband options for the Arctis line of headphones, with several artists on board and a vote to determine the design that will be released next.
The designs up for vote were created by select artists from Design by Humans, a collection of artists from around the world creating graphic tees, phone cases, wall art prints, and more. The selected designs are inspired by gaming and feature some really cool designs. There are at least four that I’d really like to vote for personally.
Voting is available now through March 23rd, and you can pick your favorite at SteelSeries.com/HeadbandVote. Tell us about your favorite design in the comment section below, or on Google+, Facebook, or Twitter.
