Best Black Friday gaming headset deals 2023
Razer Black Friday headset deals
The world of Razer has been synoymous with excellent gaming headsets for yonks, not least given the immense popularity of lines such as their Kraken series, or their Blackshark options. I'll personally testify to using a Kraken V3 Hypersense for most of my gaming, given the solid audio and comfort, as well as the added bonus of haptic feedback!
Anyway, enough of the personal testimonials - let's talk deals! Here is going to be where you'll find any deals on Razer headsets - think the Kraken, Blackshark, or Barracuda lines, and whatever else we manage to find while hunting around.

SteelSeries Black Friday headset deals
SteelSeries is a brand that has garnered quite the reputation for their headsets over the years, perhaps more so than any other devices they've put out, not least the age-old Arctis line. If it's further testament to how good they, the brand new Arctis Nova Pro and Pro Wireless top the DF list of the best gaming headsets we've tested, which puts them in good stead for other headsets in the line that we might see on discount.
UK deals
 | SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless - £231 w/ code GET30 (was £330)Our top headset pick and my daily driver, offering incredible sound, infinite battery life (one battery is always charging so swapping takes only a second), a comfortable fit and much more. This one is for PC + PS + Switch + mobile with two inputs; an Xbox variant that has one Xbox input and one PC/PS/etc input is also available at the same deal price. |
 | SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gaming Headset - £119 (was £170)The Arctis Nova 7 is essentially the Nova Pro without the base station - so still excellent, and much cheaper. |
 | SteelSeries Arctis 7+ Wireless Gaming Headset - £99 (was £175)The older-style Arctis headset, but great compatibility with PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, plus older consoles. |
 | SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 - £35 (was £60)A wired multi-platform gaming headset with the refined, lightweight design of the Arctis Nova series. |
 | SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless - £70 (was £100)A wireless, multi-platform headset, but this one doesn't use the same ski goggle style headband as more expensive Arctis headsets - so it's not as comfy. |
US deals
- Our top wireless headset pick: SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless from SteelSeries for $245 w/ code GET30 (was $350)
- SteelSeries Arctis 9X wireless headset from Best Buy for $100 (was $200)
- SteelSeries Arctis 7+ wireless headset from Best Buy for $109 (was $139)
Corsair Black Friday headset deals
It would be wrong to discount Corsair when discussing excellent gaming headsets, given the marvellous performance on offer with top of the line options like the HS80 RGB Wireless or more affordable choices like the HS55 Stereo providing a great price to performance ratio that'll be even more impressive with Black Friday discounts.
UK deals
 | Corsair HS35 Gaming Headset - £35 (was £50)A great value wired gaming headset with good compatibility and 50mm drivers. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Of course, time and time again, there are going to be important questions about gaming headsets, not least if you're deciding to grab a new one. Below, we'll take you through a handful of key questions with our two cents added to help you make a properly informed buying decision.
What gaming headsets does Digital Foundry recommend?
Truth be told, we've recommended a wide range of headsets in our list of the best gaming headsets, ranging from top of the line choices from SteelSeries to more affordable ones from Astro, as well as even some more off the wall and audiophile candidates from Nuraphone and Audeze, too. If you're stuck on what to buy. that list should be a great starting point.
What gaming headset deals do we expect to see?
As the month of November wears on, we expect to see a huge range of gaming headset deals from retailers like Amazon, Currys, eBuyer and Scan in the UK, plus the likes of Newegg, B&H, Best Buy and Amazon in the US. Pretty much everything has the potential to be listed, but the most likely candidates are items that were released in the last year and therefore have some room to drop down substantially in price, as well as older models outside of active production that retailers will be looking to clear by any means necessary.
