Bargain hunters rejoice! One of our favorite cheap gaming headsets has just taken an additional price cut at Amazon - in both the US and UK. Right now you can get the excellent Razer Kraken V3 X for just $39.75 (down from $70) at Amazon US, and for £49.99 (was £70) at Amazon UK. This brings it dangerously close to being half price, which is wild in itself, and it's also just $5 off its lowest price ever.

Yes, this is almost the definition of a cheap gaming headset, but, importantly, it does share that excellent Kraken DNA that has seen many of its brethren adorn spots across the internet's best gaming headset lists. While you won't see all the bells and whistles that adorn many pricier headsets here, that's not what this headset is trying to do. It's a simple but powerful set of cups, that you can rely on to give you excellent game audio, solid communication, and a comfy fit - without breaking the bank.

Note that this is a USB-connected headset - not a traditional audio jack wired connection. This limits the headset to being more suitable as a PC and PlayStation headset, and probably more of a PC one if you pushed us. That wired connection can be used on a PS4 or PS5 but that will govern how close or far you can sit.

We have this particular headset as our top budget pick in our best PC headset for gaming list, and it really shines as a provider of awesome game audio that you don't have to spend the big bucks to get something great for your ears this year.

However, if you're after something else that's in the same price range then we're rounding up some other headset deals below the highlights Krkane V3 X below.

Today's best cheap gaming headset deals

Razer Kraken V3 X | PC, PS5, PS4 | $70 $39.75 at Amazon
Save $30

Razer Kraken V3 X | PC, PS5, PS4 | $70 $39.75 at Amazon
Save $30 - If you've been after a PC-first cheap gaming headset then this is the one to go for. It has been lower, but this price point is just $5 away from the cheapest we've ever seen the Razer Kraken V3 X. With 7.1 surround and that Razer quality, this is great value for those after bang for buck value right now.

Razer Kraken V3 X | PC, PS5, PS4 | £70 £49.99 at Amazon UK
Save £20

Razer Kraken V3 X | PC, PS5, PS4 | £70 £49.99 at Amazon UK
Save £20 - This headset was cheaper around £15 cheaper recently, but this is still an excellent price and a great value proposition should you need a budget headset right now. You'll be able to rely on the Kraken V3 X across a couple of platforms, and you're picking up some of that Razer pedigree.
