SteelSeries Celebrates the Lunar New Year with Arctis Nova 7 Dragon Edition
From the makers of Arctis, the most awarded audio line in gaming, SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, today introduces the special-edition Arctis Nova 7 Dragon Edition gaming headset. Designed by a collective of SteelSeries designers and product managers with Chinese and Taiwanese heritage, the Dragon Arctis Nova 7 honors their heritage and culture, the traditions of family gatherings and festivals, and celebrates the beginning of the 2024 Lunar New Year.
The Design
The Arctis Nova 7 Dragon Edition’s design is centered around a dragon (Lóng), one of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals (Zhōngguó shí’èr shēngxiào dòngwù), the dragon icon has been sculpted with softer edges, giving it a more modern look. The dragon’s body wraps around the Chinese character for ‘dragon’ and sits atop a stack of lucky clouds (xiángyún). Hidden beneath the dragon that is emblazoned on the speaker plates, a circular version of the Chinese character for good fortune (Fú) adorns the ear cups, while the headband takes the shape of a dragon’s scales. The deep red colorway symbolizes prosperity in life and is accented with bold gold symbolizing money and fortune.
