Cyber Week gaming headset deals 2025: Giving the gift of great audio this deals season

The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 doesn't have the most robust of chassis designs, but it's difficult to argue with the audio quality for the price, especially when you've given it a tweak with the DTS Headphone X spatial audio codec. The fit is very comfortable, too.

A stone-cold classic at this point, the Razer BlackShark V2 X delivers a huge whack of everything you might want in a wired gaming headset for a very reasonable price. For a mere $33, you're getting 50 mm titanium drivers, a good microphone, comfy memory foam earpads, and a green cable. Yes, a green cable. Worth the price alone, if you ask me.

If you're wondering why you might pay a little more than the Razer headset above for, well, another Razer headset, the answer is comfort. Don't get me wrong, the BlackShark V2 X is a comfy thing to wear, but the plush, cushy memory foam cushions of the Kraken are well worth considering if you're looking for as much all-day usage as possible. It still sounds great, too.

Quite literally our favourite wired gaming headset, the HyperX Cloud Alpha has reigned supreme at the top of our guide for some time now, and looks to be staying there for a while longer. It's a powerful, punchy performer with superb comfort and a refined design, and even better, it regularly turns up on discount. Tough to beat, this one.

At under 200 grams and less than $50, the G435 Lightspeed is a budget beast, and also pretty good for taking on the go thanks to a comfy cushioning and lack of an external mic. That being said, you can still chat to your friends via a built-in microphone, and the included connector should help with any latency.

I think I can convince you this is a headset worth looking at with one bite of the cherry—300-hour battery life. Yep, that's not a typo. To this day, the longest-lasting gaming headset we've ever tested, the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless, isn't just a one-trick pony, as it also sounds great and is remarkably comfortable to boot. The mic is merely average, but otherwise, it's a superstar.

This wireless gaming headset leaves little to be desired. Featuring titanium TriForce drivers, you're getting crisp sound at a very reasonable price. The honking great big volume knob makes it easier than ever to fine-tune your soundscape when things get hectic, too.

Key specs: 50 mm drivers | 12 - 28,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | 70 hour battery life

In our Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 review, we praised this headset's great sound, solid connectivity, and comfy fit. It does come in at a tough MSRP, and the lack of ANC for such an expensive set of cans feels like a miss, but it's a solid pick at 50% off.

With a neat magnetic charging stand, a comfortable fit, and lush sound, the Fractal Design Scape earns its hefty MSRP. It's let down a little by a lack of noise cancelling and an average microphone, but it's a gorgeous set of cans, and both colorways are included in the deal.

It's almost identical to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 (which we also loved), but often on sale for less. Crisp sound, impressive spatial audio, plus a beefy battery, and you can't go too far wrong.

Key specs: Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz | 38 hour battery life | fast-charging | 360° Spatial Audio | Retractable mic arm | Sidetone dial

If you're looking for a cheap pair of earbuds with some premium specs, the EarFun Air Pro 4 are much better than the name might suggest. They sound great and have excellent battery life, though the lack of a 2.4 GHz mode is a slight disappointment. Bluetooth with Game Mode is good enough, though.

Key specs: 10 mm drivers | 52-hour battery life | 20 Hz - 22 kHz

These earbuds might not be ideal just for gaming (they don't have a low-latency mode), but for listening to music and more casual gaming they're great. They have a great sound profile, sit comfortably, and look pretty snazzy, too.

Key specs: Bluetooth 5.4 | 42.5-hour battery life (9.5 from earbuds) | 20 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response

These buds are simply the best we've tested, full stop. That's because they offer a 2.4 GHz, dongle-based wireless connection alongside traditional Bluetooth support, which means you get super-fast gaming response times as well as the convenience of a set of earbuds to tuck in your pocket, ready to face the world wherever you go. They're water resistant and offer up to 40-hour battery life, too, which is grand.

JBL have an excellent reputation for superb audio quality, and this headset is rather good value at this price. Featuring JBL's "Quantum Sound Signature", memory foam ear cushions and a good quality detachable boom microphone, it's difficult to think of a better value headset for the money.

Key specs: 40mm drivers | 20-20,000Hz | Closed-back | Wired

This is a gaming headset that keeps cropping up in the deals, and it's remarkably good value even at full whack. With 50 mm drivers that are great for music, gaming, or anything else you want to pump into your lugholes, plus a good-looking and comfortable design, there's really not a lot to complain about here for the price. Maybe the green cable? Nah, I actually think it's kinda cool.

This Logitech headset is a lightweight marvel with memory foam earphone pads and a refined yet colorful aesthetic. The 40mm neodymium drivers are well-rounded and it comes with a handy in-line volume control on its extra-long wire. The microphone is nothing to write home about, but for this price these make an excellent entry-level set of cans.

This Logitech headset is a great entry point for those on a budget looking for a wireless solution, and comes with a surprising set of features for the money. There's Dolby Atmos support, 18 hours of battery life, and a lightweight design, meaning these cans will stay comfortable for longer play sessions. The built-in microphones are not the best-sounding things we've ever heard, but are perfectly functional, and at this price, we think this set makes a solid budget option.

HyperX make some of our most recommended headsets, and this Core edition of the Cloud Stinger has a load of great features at a very reasonable price. Virtual 7.1 surround, a swivel-to-mute-microphone, onboard audio controls and durable steel sliders make this a sleek and svelte package for a budget price tag.

If comfort and good looks are at the top of your priority list, you should definitely check out the Razer Kraken V4. Despite its weight, we found it to be a very comfortable thing to wear in our review, which combined with the excellent audio quality and reasonable price makes it a winner in our book. Oh, and that was at the full MSRP, so with a decent chunk knocked off? Even better.

Key specs: 40 mm drivers | 20-28,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | 70-hour battery life

This is technically the Xbox model of one of the best-selling SteelSeries wireless headsets, but it'll work just fine on PC, and the subtle neon green aesthetic is rather pleasing regardless. It's packed with features like the legendary ClearCast Noise-cancelling microphone, Dual Wireless connection, and a 20-hour-plus battery life, but the real rub here is getting a great-sounding SteelSeries wireless headset for a heavily discounted price.
