JBL Quantum 100| 40mm drivers | 20-20,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wired | $39.95 $19.95 at Amazon (save $20)
How much? For a mere $20 and from a respected name in the audio industry, it's very difficult to beat this wired headset for the price. It's not likely to blow you away, but if you need something on an ultra tight budget and there's very little wiggle room, we'd give it some serious consideration.

It's pretty astonishing you can buy a headset that sounds this good for $30, but here we are. The build-quality doesn't feel the sturdiest, but for this money you'll struggle to find something comfier or with better drivers. A budget banger, but make sure to treat it with care.

HyperX Cloud III | 53 mm drivers | 15-25,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wired | $99.99 $69.99 at Amazon (save $30)
While this might not be the hugest saving in the world, this HyperX Cloud III wired headset with over $45 off retail pricing is a good deal. When we reviewed this set of cans the only fault we could really find was with the price, so for this sort of money it's definitely worthy of some serious consideration.

Epos Sennheiser GSP 600 | 50 mm drivers | 10-30,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wired | $149.00 $104 at Amazon (save $45)
When we reviewed the Sennheiser GSP600 we found them firm but comfy, with excellent build quality and a fantastic soundstage. These pump audio at quite a considerable level, with excellent sub bass and crisp treble that certainly makes them a lively listening experience, and that gigantic mic definitely delivers.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC | 40 mm drivers | 10-40,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wired | $249.99 $178.90 at Newegg (save $71.09)
SteelSeries has a reputation for making great gaming headsets, and this Arctis Pro + model is no exception. It's got a crystal clear bidirectional mic, a super comfortable "ski goggle" fabric headband, and some great-sounding drivers, but the real thing to pay attention to here is its dedicated DAC+ amplifier with an OLED screen. A super performer, if you don't mind a cable.

Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones | 40 mm drivers | 10-41,000 Hz | Open-back | Wired | $219 $179 at Drop (save $40)
A hot collab between Drop and Sennheiser, the HD 6XX headphones are essentially a variant of Sennheiser's ever-popular HD 650s in misty midnight blue. They have the same sound profile as the HD 650s—a nice, crisp, and clear response on the mids and highs—meaning you're set for some seriously nice audio for a seriously decent price.

Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED | 40 mm drivers | 20-20,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $79.99 $37.00 at Amazon (save $42.99)
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, it's a solid budget option.

Corsair HS55 Wireless Core | 50 mm drivers | 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz | Closed-back | 2.4 GHz + Bluetooth | $99.99 $54.99 at Newegg (save $45)
This is the Core version of our best budget wireless gaming headset, and it's on sale for a price that actually undercuts the wired version right now. The only difference with this Core version and the standard headset is that this one doesn't have iCUE support... which I don't think anyone outside of Corsair is going to miss.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X | 40 mm drivers | 20-22,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $129.99 $99.99 at Amazon
This supremely versatile and ultra light weight headset impressed us a lot in our review, thanks to its ability to slot itself into your day-to-day life with nary a complaint. It's remarkably robust, light as a feather, and sounds beautifully well balanced with 60-hour battery life in Bluetooth mode that really delivers. It's lacking a little ultra low-end oomph, mind, but unless you're a serious bass-head it shouldn't be an issue.

HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless | 50 mm drivers | 15-21,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $199.99 $124.54 at Amazon (save $75.45)
The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is one of our all-time favorite gaming headsets for many reasons, but there's a big headline feature to talk about here: 300-hour battery life. No, we didn't make a typo. 300 hours of gaming on a single charge, excellent DTS:X Spatial Audio, and premium comfort features make this headset an absolute stunner of a buy at this price. In fact, when we reviewed it the only major negative we could find was a slightly uninspiring microphone. Absolutely worth a serious look this one, at any level of discount.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal | 40mm drivers | 20-22,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $179.99 at Amazon
While this listing doesn't technically show a discount, these superb cans were $499 when first released a mere two years ago. When we reviewed this remarkable set we found it to have a brilliant sound profile for both gaming and music, with the only drawbacks being the price and the slightly disappointing microphone. 19 hour battery life with wireless ANC enabled is decent, jumping to a full 42 hours if you were using it with Bluetooth on your way to work. Stylish, well-built and super comfy to boot.

SteelSeries has a reputation for making fantastic gaming headsets, and the Arctis Nova Pro is where the company brings together all its know-how.

Audeze Maxwell | 90mm planar magnetic drivers | 10 Hz to 50,000 Hz | Wireless | $299.99 $268.65 at Amazon (save $31.14)
Well, here it is. The ultimate in wireless audiophile gaming headsets, the Audeze Maxwell makes use of a set of planar magnetic drivers to deliver audio quality that makes reviewers gush the world over. It's a bit heavy, and the software isn't great, but otherwise, this is a symphony of gaming headset luxury—as we found in our 93% review.

Corsair HS55 Surround | 50mm Drivers | 20Hz - 20,000Hz | Wired | £69.99 £59.95 at Amazon (save £10.04)
Considering its budget-friendly price tag, Corsair's HS55 delivers an impressive package of quality audio and a good build quality. Not often will you find such a well-rounded headset going for so little. The microphone sounds great and can be flipped up out of the way when you don't need it.

Logitech G335 | 40 mm drivers | 20-20,000Hz | Closed-back | Wired | £64.99 £54.99 at Amazon (save £10)
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.

Razer BlackShark V2 | 50 mm drivers | 12-28,000Hz | Closed-back | Wired | £89.99 £68.44 at Amazon (save £21.55)
The Razer BlackShark in all its iterations has been something of a classic on our deal lists, and this model is no different. With 7.1 surround sound THX-certified audio chops and Razer's signature Triforce Titanium drivers, this is a headset that sounds as good as it looks. On that point, it's not entirely covered in green highlights, which is a win for those that prefer something more understated.

HyperX Cloud III Wireless | 53 mm drivers | 10-21,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | £129.98 £77.99 at Argos (save £51.99)
The HyperX Cloud III is a super solid headset that struggled to stand out among its competition at its full price. This £32 discount isn't the best price we've seen since Black Friday, but it's still a decent price for an excellent headset. As pointed out in our HyperX Cloud III review, it "is a worthwhile update to the classic Cloud II", and more deserving of the upgrade at this price point.
