Quality audio gear often costs a pretty penny, and that’s before peripheral makers jack up the price for products aimed at gamers. Black Friday is one of the best times to buy a gaming headset without feeling like you overpaid. Here are a handful that stand out from the crowd. And don’t forget to get check out list of the best gaming headsets—if you find one of those marked down, it’s a double score!
We’ll kick things off with a headset that did make our list as one of the best in the wireless category. It’s the Steelseries Siberia 800. The memory foam pads keep it comfortable for extended gaming sessions while the drivers inside deliver top-end virtual surround. Our main gripe is the price tag, but that’s what Black Friday shopping is for. You can currently snag this headset for $219 on Amazon.
Amazon also has a nice markdown on the Logitech G633 Artemis Spectrum RGB, a 7.1 surround sound gaming headset with excellent sound separation and chat audio. We had our issues with the G633 that it made tough to recommend at its MSRP, but with a more than 30 percent discount bringing the price down to $103, it’s far easier to overlook its flaws.
If you prefer the wireless route, we found the Logitech G930 on marked down an impressive 45 percent to $88 on Amazon. It’s another 7.1 surround sound headset that’s much more attractive on sale versus its $160 MSRP.
