While this Xbox headset is good, there are better options if you don’t mind paying a little bit more. The SteelSeries Arctis Pro has long been one of GameSpot’s favorite headsets, and the multi-platform version designed for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch is on sale for $290 (was $380). A combination of high-quality audio and premium materials, the Arctis Pro offers features such as active noise cancellation, 360-degree spatial audio, and the ability to mix two audio sources simultaneously. It comes with a base station featuring an OLED display, and you can hot-swap batteries while playing.
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X is a budget-friendly option at $105 (was $150) that’s compatible with Xbox, PS5, Switch, PC, and mobile devices. One of its selling points is a 60-hour battery life, and it also comes preloaded with hundreds of preset audio options for different games. This makes it very easy to optimize its performance across games like Call of Duty, GTA V, and more, while the on-ear controls make it simple to access various functions. We’ve also rounded up several more headsets below on sale for Black Friday, ranging from extremely cheap wired models from PowerA and Turtle Beach to premium discounted options like the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro and the Corsair HS80 Max.
