There are simply too many tempting Cyber Monday gaming headset deals, so here are the four best that I'd buy

Cyber Monday is one of the two best times of the year to pick up a new gaming headset (with the other being Black Friday just days prior). That can be both a blessing and a curse as there's simply too much to scrub through.

Razer BlackShark V2 X
Wired
Save $27
Razer BlackShark V2 X: was $59.99 now $32.99 at Amazon

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.

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.

HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless: was $199.99 now $125.63 at Amazon

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.
