It’s never a bad idea to have a spare headset, and right now at Amazon, you can grab a big discount on Acer’s wireless gaming headset for PS5, PC, Switch consoles, and mobile devices. Normally $50, it has been discounted to $34 at Amazon. You’ll want to move fast, as this is a limited-time deal, and in case the red accents on it aren’t to your liking, the headset is available in a variety of other colors for $40.
$34 (was $50)
Since this is a budget headset, it’s not exactly going to offer a sound quality that’ll make an audiophile smile. Acer’s 50mm drivers provide a robust soundscape for the price, so it’s a solid option for a travel headset or for casual and younger players shopping on a budget. Most impressively, the headset can run for up to 100 hours on a full charge.
It’s also versatile thanks to 2.4GHz Wireless and Bluetooth support. On PlayStation consoles, you’ll need to connect the wireless receiver to your console’s USB port to establish a connection. PC players can sync wirelessly via 2.4GHz or Bluetooth, with the latter also providing compatibility for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Steam Deck, mobile, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices. A wired connection is available with the included, detachable 3.5mm audio cable. The microphone for chat has built-in noise-canceling tech, but it’s worth mentioning that the mic will not work with Nintendo Switch consoles.
As mentioned, the cheapest model at the moment is black with red accents on the headband and exterior earcups, but there are other accents as well as two models with a white base color. All models come with plush earcups and a cushioned, plastic headband. Keep in mind that cheap headsets tend to wear down faster than pricier models due to material quality.

If you are in the market for a new headset in the $100 range, SteelSeries has just launched a new wireless model in its popular Arctis Nova range, the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless. This makes use of several features from last year’s Arctis Nova 5, as the multiplatform headset offers support for over 200 EQ presets via the Arctis App and the option to swap between multiple connected devices with a single button press. It utilizes SteelSeries’ unique headband design that reduces tension on your head and has plush earcups wrapped in breathable fabric.
The Arctis Nova 3X is compatible with PS5, PS4, Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices, and it’s very reasonably priced at $110.
