Deal | Top Razer & SteelSeries headsets slashed on Amazon
If you’re looking to upgrade your gaming headset without overspending, Amazon currently has several solid deals on some of the most popular wired and wireless models. Below, we’ve highlighted five strong options that balance price, comfort, and long-session gaming performance.
Razer BlackShark V2 X: -37% $37.99
The BlackShark V2 X is one of Razer’s better budget picks, mainly because it focuses on fundamentals instead of flashy extras. The lightweight design (around 240 grams) and thick ear cushions make it easy to wear for hours, and the passive noise isolation is stronger than you’d expect for this category. Razer’s 50 mm TriForce drivers deliver a clean, competitive-friendly mix with clear highs and boosted footstep detail, which is useful in shooters. The HyperClear cardioid microphone also performs reliably for team chat without sounding compressed.
Downsides: Wired Only... Because it uses a 3.5 mm jack, you don’t get freedom of movement; you’re tethered to your device. No Active Noise Cancellation... While its passive isolation is decent, it doesn’t block out as much ambient noise as headsets with ANC, which could be an issue in louder environments.
Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless: -30% $140.68
If you prefer going fully wireless, the V2 Pro remains one of Razer’s better premium gaming headsets. Its 2.4 GHz HyperSpeed connection is low-latency and stable, and battery life can stretch up to 70 hours depending on usage. The rebuilt microphone is noticeably more natural-sounding than older Razer models, and the memory foam cushions keep it comfortable even during long sessions. Competitive players may appreciate the preset FPS-tuned EQ profiles, which push out positional cues more clearly than the default mix.
Downsides: No USB-C Charging... Depending on the version, it may use micro-USB or older charging connections, which are less convenient than modern USB-C-type connections.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless: -11% $336.54
If you're looking for a more premium option, the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless remains one of the most fully featured gaming headsets available. It ships with a base station that allows quick swapping between PC, PlayStation, Switch, or other devices and includes a full EQ suite you can control directly from the dock. The dual-battery “Infinity Power” system lets you swap batteries without powering down, effectively giving the headset unlimited runtime. Active Noise Cancellation also sets it apart from other headsets.
Downsides: Heavy price tag... It’s a premium headset, so the cost is higher than budget or mid-range models, making it a serious investment. Complex dock setup... The base station is powerful and useful, but it’s another device to manage on your desk, which may not appeal to a number of users.
What to consider before buying
If you’re deciding between these options, the first choice is whether you want wired or wireless... wired headsets tend to offer better value at a lower price, while wireless gives you more flexibility around your setup. Comfort is another factor; Razer’s BlackShark line is particularly good for long sessions thanks to its light frame; however, if you want higher-end features like ANC, multi-system support, and great battery life, the Nova Pro Wireless sits in its category.
