Want a new gaming headset? I test a new pair every week, and these are the top 5 I

Searching for a new gaming headset amongst the massive list of Prime Day gaming deals will bring up a never-ending onslaught of options – everything from cheap headsets from brands you’ve never heard of, to ones even pricier than the GPU powering your own PC.

I’m a massive nerd for these fancy bits of audio tech, and test a new pair pretty much every week. To make finding the right pair for your PC gaming needs a little easier, I’ve tracked down the top 5 headset deals I’d actually recommend you spend your hard earned cash on, from the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless which is down to $99.74 on Amazon, to the Corsair Void Wireless V2, which is down to just $85.45 at Amazon this week.

The best gaming headsets typically see more savings once the holiday sales, like Black Friday, roll around. But if you can’t wait that long, I can promise you from my own testing that these headsets will still make your PC games sound incredible – I just can’t promise they’ll turn you into the latest esports champion in the same breath.

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.
