For years PC gaming headsets delivered criminally poor audio compared to proper headphones. Those days are over, but I still don't think we devote enough attention to the audio side of our systems. It's a good time to treat yourself or someone else to a gaming headset, too, as Cyber Monday deals are bountiful. Since they've taken over from Black Friday, we recommend you head to our Cyber Monday gaming headset deals roundup for the most up-to-date discounts.
We ask a lot of our headsets. We use them to communicate, and our mic can't sound like it's under the rug our chair is sitting on. We expect them to make music sound good, which requires accurately conveying bombast and whispery subtlety. And it has to make our gaming experiences better, which means directional audio that makes two ear cups feel like an entire room (while leaving no room for uncertainty over where those footsteps came from). And it has to do all that without pinching our ears after hours of wear or giving us a headache or making us all sweaty.
We took all those factors into consideration when building our guides to the best wired gaming headsets and best wireless gaming headsets. Those headsets are naturally a shoo-in for our list of the best Cyber Monday gaming headset deals, when they do go on sale. But there are plenty of other great headsets out there, too, so we've rounded up the best of them that are discounted right now. These headsets are all good for the price, even if they didn't make it into the very top of the class.
There are still some special Cyber Monday-only deals to come, but those 'door buster' discounts aren't necessarily going to be better than discounts you find during Black Friday and on the weekend between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. So if you see the headset that looks right for you, grab it.
If you want to try to catch a flash sale or lightning deal, these are the best retailers to keep an eye on:

What should I look for in a Black Friday gaming headset deal?
Before you throw open your wallet, it's good to have an idea of what features are most important to you in a gaming headset. Consider how long you're going to wear it per day, and for what purpose.
If you play a lot of FPS games, its worth investing in a headset with surround sound to you can pinpoint enemies, and a noise canceling mic so your teammates don't have to listen to your mechanical keyboard going click-clack.
If you're going wireless, consider dropping RGB lighting down your priority list, as it'll sap battery life like nobody's business. Otherwise, if you're looking to stand out among streamers, a wired RGB headset will surely hypnotize those fans into subscribing.
