Black Friday gaming headset deals are one of the best times all year round when you can see huge savings on some of the most high-end, feature-filled pairs of cups from the biggest tech brands in the business.

Last year, some of the best gaming headsets saw some decent savings, even on the lead-up to the big day on November 29. No matter if it was on Amazon, Walmart or Best Buy, a ton of headsets returned to their previous lowest-ever prices set the year before - like the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3, and even the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5P. But it was the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless that stole the show as one of the best Black Friday gaming deals we spotted during the big sales event. As a premium pair of cups, its MSRP is up there, but last Black Friday it dropped under that sub $300 sweet spot. As one of the best wireless headsets cash can buy, it's a saving we expect to see return later this year - along with discounts on some of the latest offerings from not just SteelSeries, but Razer, Logitech, and Corsair among other brands.

Course, it's not just Black Friday where you can expect to see discounts on headsets you have your eyes on. Amazon Prime Day is expected to return this July, and as with any Amazon sale, won't be shy on tech deals. However, if you want to wait for record-breaking savings, waiting for Black Friday 2025, and this year's following Cyber Monday is your best bet.

What to expect from Black Friday gaming headset deals in 2025

This year's Black Friday gaming headset deals will offer up savings on a wider range of headsets than the years before - especially as the biggest tech brands in the business have still been regularly churning out budget offerings of their flagship lines. Not only that, I expect we'll see more variation, with deals on headsets in new colorways, and licensed options to even fandoms won't be missing out when November rolls around.

In the last couple of years, we saw premium models like the $349 / £329 SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless get significant discounts, and 2024 was no different. The Nova Pro is our favorite wireless gaming headset even now and has been since its launch. It took a massive $100 discount in October 2022 but hasn't been able to reach those same $249.99 sales prices since then, despite dropping down to $279.999 last Black Friday. This year, we could see more of the same, with it reaching close to lowest ever price rather than smashing any record new lows - but with its age, I'd keep an extra close eye on the Arctis Nova Pro, as a new lowest ever price is a long time coming.

The brand's mid-range console-specific offerings, like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5P only launched last year, yet the $129.99 / £129.99 headset dropped to a new record-low, shaving $30 off its MSRP over last year's Black Friday. Outwidth the biggest sales events of the year, this headset regularly receives discounts month in and month out, but I'd keep an eye out this November as it could set the stage for another new record-low - which hopefully will include the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X for Xbox players.

Talking of Xbox headsets, the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 launched earlier this year, and has already seen up to $30 off its MSRP of $199.99 / £179.99 and could see record new lows this Black Friday. The latest Turtle Beach headsets are no stranger to seeing huge price cuts each November, and even at $199.99, this headset packs a ton of features and even includes an extra 2.4GHz dongle for PC and PS5 players. A further discount could make this rival that of the best wireless gaming headsets - and I expect there will be more Turtle Beach where that came from.

2025 marked the release of the new purple version of the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3, which brought a nice new colorway to the budget headset. Last year, the existing colorways of the Stealth 600 Gen 3 dropped to record new lows of $84.99, so it's very likely this pretty purple model will follow suit. This would mean that this Black Friday could not only offer up even more discounts on budget-friendly headsets but also offer up refreshing color options for those fed up with the sea of all-black pairs of cups common to each year's Black Friday sales.

When will Black Friday gaming headset deals begin?

Black Friday gaming headset deals will officially kick off on November 28, 2025. That being said, there are bound to be savings popping up during the start of that week, and in the lead-up to the big day. Last year, we even saw Black Friday gaming headset deals start as early as October, so we recommend keeping an eye out the month before too.

How much should I pay for a gaming headset?

The amount you pay for your gaming headset will be determined by just how far up the quality scale you go, but also by the features you need in your device. For example, super high quality quality audio can be achieved for as little as $99 / £99 if you forego certain wireless connectivity features like Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, drop your expectations for microphone quality, and don't put too much emphasis on battery life.

The most expensive gaming headsets max out at around $349 / £349 - these are your SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pros and Audeze Maxwells, gaming headsets packing every feature under the sun while also offering powerful audio quality to boot. Underneath this you'll be picking and choosing your features - a wireless gaming headset worth its salt but with a few sacrifices will likely sit at between $70 and $150 / £70 and £150 on Black Friday, and the $30 - $70 / £30 - £100 price range is best left to wired models focusing on sound.

Last Year's Best Gaming Headset Deals

As you can imagine, there were far more deals that surfaced around the Black Friday period, however, these are all the best gaming headset deals we saved from over November to give you an idea of how much you can actually expect to save when Black Friday rolls around later this year.

JBL Quantum 610 Wireless 2.4GHz headset | $149.95 $69.95 at Amazon
Save $80 - At more than half price off, the JBL Quantum 610 Wireless 2.4GHz headset was a match made in budget-friendly heaven for your PC, and even your PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Mac last Black Friday. By knocking $80 off its pricey MSRP of $149.95 this JBL headset was the lowest price it's ever been at Amazon which is the kind of deal I like to see every year.

Buy it if:

✅ Your PC is your gaming platform of choice

HyperX Cloud II Wireless headset (Red) | $149.9 $89.99 at Amazon
Save $85 - The Cloud II wireless headset had only dipped below this price once before. In April 2024, the headset was at its lowest with $9 more than its Black Friday price tag. However, this was only the second time it's ever been marked down lower than $90, making the new saving of $85 off a great Black Friday deal last year.

Save $100 - The Razer Kaira Pro has been plummeting down the price scale on the lead-up to Black Friday when it hit a record-low $74.99 sales price in October 2024. It then shot back up to $99.99 on the big day, but that was still a fantastic $100 saving on a great headset.

✅ You don't play with chat

Don't buy it if:

❌ You don't like haptics

UK: £99.98 £84.99 at Amazon

Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 Wireless | $99.99 $84.99 at Amazon
Save $15 - It's a smaller saving, but this was one of the only few discounts I saw on the relatively new Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 Wireless. A $15 saving brought it down to a record-low $84.99, which still is a solid price for a cross-platform headset with an 80-hour battery and both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth.

Buy it if:

✅ You play across multiple platforms
✅ You play for shorter sessions at a time
✅ You prioritize a good battery life

Don't buy it if:

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5P wireless gaming headset | $129.99 $99.99 at Amazon
Save $30 - Around the time of Black Friday, the 5P was a fairly recent release and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 quickly earned a spot in our top lists. It's a console-first headset with a particularly attractive MSRP, but Amazon's $30 discount got you there for a record-low price during Black Friday. In the past, I've seen the numbers trickle below $100, but $9 above was still a great Black Friday deal for 2024.

Buy it if:

✅ You play on PC, Switch, or PS5
✅ You want more control over EQ
✅ You find ski-band supports comfortable

Corsair Virtuoso Pro | $199.99 $139.99 at AmazonSave $60 -

Corsair Virtuoso Pro | $199.99 $139.99 at Amazon
Save $60 - The Corsair Virtuoso Pro was down to $139.99 at Amazon last Black Friday - a return to its lowest-ever price at Amazon that it's only ever sat at a few times before. This headset likes to typically bounce in price from $150 to full price so it doesn't stay at 30% off for long, making it a deal worth grabbing in 2024.

Buy it if:

✅ You're a streamer
✅ You like open-back soundstages
✅ You play on PC

Don't buy it if:

❌ You play in a busier environment
❌ A wireless connection is a priority

Razer BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed | $129.99 $99.99 at AmazonSave $30 -

Razer BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed | $129.99 $99.99 at Amazon
Save $30 - This was a stunner of a deal. The 2024 Razer BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed was already fantastic value, offering the mic and drivers of the far more expensive V2 Pro model. However, with $30 off the final price the headset I vote as the best value on the market right now was under $100.

Buy it if:

✅ You play on PC
✅ You regularly play with chat
✅ You prioritize a wireless connection

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want a high-end build quality

Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT | $269.99 $169.99 at AmazonSave $100 -

Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT | $269.99 $169.99 at Amazon
Save $100 - It's an older release, but Corsair's wireless Virtuoso XT still holds up against newer releases and it was down to within $10 of its lowest price last Black Friday. That $159 record was only set during October 2024, so a saving of $100 made this pair of cups still one to watch during last year's Black Friday sales.

Buy it if:

✅ You like a strong clamp force
✅ You want a luxury design
✅ You need simultaneous connections

Don't buy it if:

❌ You don't like tighter headsets

Sony INZONE H9 Wireless | $299.99 $198 at Amazon
Save $101.99 - Sony's INZONE H9 wireless headset returned to its lowest ever price at Amazon at 35% off its MSRP. It was this low in October 2024, but typically it sat between just under full price and around $250. With that in mind, it was a Black Friday deal not worth missing in 2024.

Buy it if:

✅ You play the PS5
✅ Comfort is key even with glasses on

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want the best mic
❌ You don't like bulky ear cups

Logitech G Pro X 2 Wireless | $249.99 $189.52 at Amazon
Save $60 - The Pro X 2 Wireless headset has only been cheaper once in the past, reaching its lowest-ever price in July 2024. Black Friday last year marked the first time the headset reached a new low of $189.52 at Amazon. That's more than 20% off its MSRP of $249.99, making this last year's discount worth anyone's attention.

Buy it if:

✅ You want excellent sound quality
✅You need a long battery life
✅ Comfort is key

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want the best mic
❌ You have an Xbox Series X

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless | $349.99 $279.99 at AmazonSave $70 -

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless | $349.99 $279.99 at Amazon
Save $70 - This was the big one. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is the best set of cups on the market right even now, and it rarely drops below $300. While it dipped briefly to an even-lower price of $269.99, $279 was (and still is) an excellent bargain over last year's Black Friday sales.

Buy it if:

✅ You don't want to worry about charging
✅ You play across PlayStation and Xbox
✅ You value high-end audio

Don't buy it if:

❌ You just want a plug and play headset

Razer Kraken V3 X Wired USB Gaming Headset$69.99$39.98 at Amazon Save $30

Razer Kraken V3 X Wired USB Gaming Headset | $69.99 $39.98 at Amazon Save $30 - This budget set was full price in 2023 but dropped to $43.99 in 2024 and over Black Friday least year it reached a new low of $39.98. OK, so this isn't the biggest saving we saw last year, but it did make this headset more tempting than ever.

Buy it if:

✅ You want a lightweight headset
✅ You're on a tight budget
✅ You want 7.1 surround sound sound

Don't buy it if:

❌ You need something a bit more fully-featured

HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless $199.99 $125.99 at Amazon

Buy it if:

✅ You want a quality pair of wireless headphones
✅ You need a headset with good battery life
✅ You want a detachable noise-cancelling mic

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want something less chunky
