Cyber Monday 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.

SteelSeries knows a thing or two about comfort, and has plastered the inside of this set with its AirWeave memory foam cushions, which I can tell you are immensely comfortable (and surprisingly hard-wearing). You get AI-powered noise cancelling for the mic if you install SteelSeries' Sonar software, too, which is a bonus, alongside some handsome good looks and some excellent drivers.

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.

Featuring the same comfy build and drivers as some of its more expensive cousins, you also finally get a detachable mic arm, too. The volume dial is much more fiddly, but it's a small price to pay if you're on a budget.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 came as something of a surprise, given that we haven't been too keen on some of its siblings. But whaddaya know, this one's actually pretty great. It's got a clean, understated design, a good microphone, a wide soundstage, and excellent 80-hour battery life, complete with quick charge to top it up in a hurry. Plus, it's a Bluetooth set, which means you could wear it in public without looking like a gamer-on-the-go. It might not have a discount right now, but this is still a very good price on a very good set.

The Void V2 is certainly a stylish gaming headset, and we found it to be very comfortable in our review, too. It's a versatile set with an extra Bluetooth connection alongside the 2.4 GHz dongle, and delivers a clear, accurate sound, making for a light-touch set with great day-to-day sensibilities. It's a shame Corsair wants you to install some fairly bloaty software, and there's no wired connection, but otherwise it's a great wireless set for the cash.

50 mm titanium drivers deliver crisp sound, and the battery can offer up to 90 hours of power under the best conditions. Our James gave this set a very positive review, and he stands by their excellent sound and superb comfort to this day. I checked, and everything.

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

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.

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.

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.

This is a headset with a couple of party tricks up its sleeve. For a start, it's got swappable batteries, which means you can technically never run out of juice if you keep switching them up with a charged replacement. Secondly, those batteries are charged inside a separate DAC unit with multi-device functionality, so this set of cans can quickly become your primary solution for all your audio connectivity needs. Being a high-end SteelSeries unit, it also sounds great and has plenty of comfort features to shout about, too.

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.

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.

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.

Look, I'm not going to tell you these are the perfect earbuds for gaming, because they're not. Thanks to a Bluetooth-only connection, there's a bit of lag that rules this set out as a pure gaming device. What the Sennheiser buds deliver, though, is the best audio I've ever heard from earbud drivers, wrapped up in a convenient, hard-wearing case that's made them my constant companions for well over a year. Yes, there are caveats. But these buds? Bloomin' brilliant.

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.

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.

SteelSeries knows how to make a lightweight and comfy gaming headset, and this one is no exception. It's got the same chassis design as some of the more expensive models, all without skimping on the important bits, like accurate drivers and a good microphone. It's removable, too, which means you can take advantage of the Bluetooth connection and wear it outside, all without looking like a prize plum thanks to its subtle design.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 is a remarkably good gaming headset, which came as something of a surprise to us given that we haven't been huge fans of some of the other Turtle Beach offerings. It's an understated, somewhat-stylish affair with a clear mic, excellent soundstage, and superb battery life. The headband could do with a touch more padding, but otherwise this is well worth some serious consideration.

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.

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.
