JBL Quantum 100| 40mm drivers | 20-20,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wired | $39.95 $19.95 at Amazon (save $20)
How much? For a mere $20 and from a respected name in the audio industry, it's very difficult to beat this wired headset for the price. It's not likely to blow you away, but if you need something on an ultra tight budget and there's very little wiggle room, we'd give it some serious consideration.

It's pretty astonishing you can buy a headset that sounds this good for $30, but here we are. The build-quality doesn't feel the sturdiest, but for this money you'll struggle to find something comfier or with better drivers. A budget banger, but make sure to treat it with care.

Sony Inzone H3 | 40 mm drivers | 10-20,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $99.99 $48 at Amazon (save $51.99)
The Sony Inzone headphone line both looks great and is very comfortable. In our Sony Inzone H5 review earlier this year, we praised its feel, sound, and accessibility. The Inzone H3 is of similar ilk with the same great software, and 360-enabled sound. It's not quite as premium as its more expensive sibling and is only wired but it's a great deal at this price point.

HyperX Cloud III| 53 mm drivers | 15-25,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wired | $99.99 $50.57 at Amazon (save $49.42)
While this might not be the hugest saving in the world, this HyperX Cloud III wired headset with over $45 off retail pricing is a good deal. When we reviewed this set of cans the only fault we could really find was with the price, so for this sort of money it's definitely worthy of some serious consideration.

Earning the top spot in our best gaming headsets list, the HyperX Cloud Alpha is super comfortable and sounds impeccable. The mic can't flip to mute like some of the fancier offerings but this headset is excellent value, even at full price. With a significant amount off? Well, even better.

SteelSeries Arctis 7X+ | 40 mm drivers | 20-20,000 Hz | Closed back | Wireless | $149.99 $99.99 at Amazon (save $50)
This is the lowest price we've seen SteelSeries' Arctis 7X+ at on Amazon, and $50 off is very nice for a solid Xbox and PC headset like this. The 30 hours of battery life is a little short but lossless audio compatibility and the ClearCast bidirectional noise cancelling microphone make this perfect for the heat of any digital battle.

Epos Sennheiser GSP 600 | 50 mm drivers | 10-30,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wired | $149.00 $104 at Amazon (save $45)
When we reviewed the Sennheiser GSP600 we found them firm but comfy, with excellent build quality and a fantastic soundstage. These pump audio at quite a considerable level, with excellent sub bass and crisp treble that certainly makes them a lively listening experience, and that gigantic mic definitely delivers.

Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones | 40 mm drivers | 10-41,000 Hz | Open-back | Wired | $219 $179 at Drop (save $20)
A hot collab between Drop and Sennheiser, the HD 6XX headphones are essentially a variant of Sennheiser's ever-popular HD 650s in misty midnight blue. They have the same sound profile as the HD 650s—a nice, crisp, and clear response on the mids and highs—meaning you're set for some seriously nice audio for a seriously decent price.

Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED | 40 mm drivers | 20-20,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $79.99 $37.99 at Amazon (save $42)
This Logitech headset is a great entry point for those on a budget looking for a wireless solution and comes with a surprising set of features for the money. There's Dolby Atmos support, 18 hours of battery life, and a lightweight design, meaning these cans will stay comfortable for longer play sessions. The built-in microphones are not the best-sounding things we've ever heard but are perfectly functional, and at this price, it's a solid budget option.

Corsair HS55 Wireless Core | 50 mm drivers | 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz | Closed-back | 2.4 GHz + Bluetooth | $99.99 $54.99 at Newegg (save $45)
This is the Core version of our best budget wireless gaming headset, and it's on sale for a price that actually undercuts the wired version right now. The only difference with this Core version and the standard headset is that this one doesn't have iCUE support... which I don't think anyone outside of Corsair is going to miss.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X | 40 mm drivers | 20-22,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $129.99 $99.99 at Amazon
This supremely versatile and ultra light weight headset impressed us a lot in our review, thanks to its ability to slot itself in to your day to day life with nary a complaint. It's remarkably robust, light as a feather, and sounds beautifully well balanced with 60-hour battery life in Bluetooth mode that really delivers. It's lacking a little ultra low-end oomph, mind, but unless you're a serious bass-head it shouldn't be an issue.

Razer Blackshark V2 Pro (2023) | 50 mm drivers | 12-28,000 Hz | 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.2 | Passive noise cancelling | 70 hours (2.4 GHz) | 320 g | $199.99 $139.99 at Best Buy (save $60)
As noted in our Razer Blackshark V2 Pro review, this headset is not only super reliable in its connection but offers great sound and a very clear microphone. It is more expensive than its predecessor, which brings it down somewhat, but this deal makes it a more attractive package.

HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless | 50 mm drivers | 15-21,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $199.99 $144.00 at Amazon (save $25)
The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is one of our all-time favorite gaming headsets for many reasons, but there's a big headline feature to talk about here: 300-hour battery life. No, we didn't make a typo. 300 hours of gaming goodness on a single charge, excellent DTS:X Spatial Audio, and premium comfort features make this headset an absolute stunner of a buy at this price. In fact, when we reviewed it the only major negative we could find was a slightly uninspiring microphone. Absolutely worth a serious look this one, at any level of discount.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal | 40mm drivers | 20-22,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $179.99 at Amazon
While this listing doesn't technically show a discount, these superb cans were $499 when first released a mere two years ago. When we reviewed this remarkable set we found it to have a brilliant sound profile for both gaming and music, with the only drawbacks being the price and the slightly disappointing microphone. 19 hour battery life with wireless ANC enabled is decent, jumping to a full 42 hours if you were using it with Bluetooth on your way to work. Stylish, well-built and super comfy to boot.

Considering its budget-friendly price tag, Corsair's HS55 delivers an impressive package of quality audio and a good build quality. Not often will you find such a well-rounded headset going for so little. The microphone sounds great and can be flipped up out of the way when you don't need it.

HyperX Cloud Alpha | 50mm drivers | 15-21,000Hz | Closed-back | Wired | £89.99 £49.99 at Amazon (save £40)
This is quite literally our best gaming headset recommendation right now, and if that doesn't convince you it's a good 'un, nothing will. And as a result, they make a great buy for those of you that don't mind a cabled connection. They feature the same superb 50mm drivers, a decent microphone, and a lot of premium comfort features that make them a great contender for all your wired headset needs.

Logitech G335 | 40 mm drivers | 20-20,000Hz | Closed-back | Wired | £64.99 £54.99 at Amazon (save £10)
This Logitech headset is a lightweight marvel with memory foam earphone pads and a refined yet colorful aesthetic. The 40mm neodymium drivers are well-rounded and it comes with a handy in-line volume control on its extra-long wire. The microphone is nothing to write home about, but for this price these make an excellent entry-level set of cans.

Razer BlackShark V2 | 50 mm drivers | 12-28,000Hz | Closed-back | Wired | £89.99 £68.21 at Amazon (save £21.78)
The Razer BlackShark in all its iterations has been something of a classic on our deal lists, and this model is no different. With 7.1 surround sound THX-certified audio chops and Razer's signature Triforce Titanium drivers, this is a headset that sounds as good as it looks. On that point, it's not entirely covered in green highlights, which is a win for those that prefer something more understated.

Sennheiser HD 599 | 38 mm drivers | 12-38,500Hz | Open-back | Wired | £149.99 £69.99 at Amazon (save £79.01)
What you don't get here, is a microphone. That's because these aren't technically gaming headphones. Big deal. What you do get is a set of wired Sennheiser open-backed cans that'll sound absolutely lovely, with a significant discount. Open-back headphones really widen the soundstage, so if a mic is no matter to you and you don't mind audio bleed, what you're getting here is a truly superb sounding set of wired cans.

The HyperX Cloud III is a super solid headset that struggled to stand out among its competition at its full price. However, with over £90 off, this is an excellent find. As pointed out in our HyperX Cloud III review, it "is a worthwhile update to the classic Cloud II", and more deserving of the upgrade at this price point.

HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless | 53 mm drivers | 10-21,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | £189.99 £109.99 at Amazon (save £80)
300 hour battery life. Let me say that again: 300. Hours. No. Charge-y. That'd be worth checking out this set for regardless, but the fact that it sounds brilliant, is extremely comfortable, and rests upon the heads of many of the PC Gamer team on a daily should tell you everything you need to know. Our best wireless gaming headset right now, and for good reason.
