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 Black Friday rolls around this month.

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 is also one to watch. The $129.99 / £129.99 headset dropped to a new record-low, shaving $30 off its MSRP over last year's Black Friday, and the release of newer cups, like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite, could incentivize the older headset to get even cheaper when the deals roll around. Talking of the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless, it's already a very budget-friendly headset at just $109.99 / £99.99, and I don't expect to see any major savings given it's only a few months old. However, even a tiny discount this Black Friday would make it an absolute steal, especially as it shares the same features as its Arctis Nova 5 brethren, and has its own new features like fast charging and its in some fancy new colorways.

The Xbox Series X/S had another price increase this year, and so grabbing an Xbox headset deal could help keep your gaming budget as low as possible. The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 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 strangers 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 also marked the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, which makes this year's Black Friday headset deals more valuable than ever. The new handheld's addition of an extra USB-C port for accessories and compatibility with Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless means any Switch 2 owners can take advantage of a huge variety of headset deals when the savings roll around.

The biggest names in headsets are still slowly but surely adding firmware updates to ensure their headsets are fully supported on the Switch 2, so I'm always going to suggest researching the compatibility before going all in. However, I'm hoping we could see further drops on some of the best Switch headsets, from the Turtle Beach Airlite Fit, to the Razer Barracuda X. The latter is already affordable at just $99.99 / £99.99, but Black Friday could see new record-lows on the classic Razer headset taking it down to $50 / £50 and making it more of a viable option for Switch 2 (or original Switch) players than in previous years.

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 Corsair Virtuoso Max's, 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.

Black Friday is only days away, but you can check out guides to the best PS5 headsets, best Xbox Series X headsets, and the best Nintendo Switch headsets to see what pairs we recommend ahead of time.

Hardware Editor

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
