If you’re thinking about diving into the world of streaming, you need one of the best gaming headset deals you can afford. Alongside that, audio is everything when streaming and potentially even more important than the visual quality. Because of that, we’ve spotted an awesome deal which helps you immensely. Right now, at HP you can buy the HyperX QuadCast USB Microphone along with a HyperX Cloud Alpha gaming headset for $120 instead of $240. Working out at 50% off, this is the perfect time to buy some high-end equipment for less. If that sounds appealing, keep reading while we take you through everything.

Why you should buy the HyperX QuadCast USB Microphone/HyperX Cloud Alpha Headset bundle

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless features in our look at the best gaming headsets, and while this deal has the wired one, it’s still well worth your time. The headset offers 50mm drivers which reduce distortion by separating bass frequencies from the mids and highs so you get more accurate audio. It also has in-line audio controls on the detachable braided cable so you’re always able to easily adjust the volume, while the over-ear design feels great to wear.

Because it’s wired, it works with any platform that has a 3.5mm port. It also has a detachable noise-cancelling microphone for talking to teammates, but we’d recommend switching over to the bundled microphone any time you’re streaming.

HyperX makes some of the best microphones for streaming, so the HyperX QuadCast is worth checking out. It has a built-in anti-vibration shock mount to make it easier to isolate the mic and suppress the sound of rumbles and bumps that disrupt your audio. It also has a neat gain control for adjusting the mic sensitivity on the fly, and a tap-to-mute sensor too. One other important component is a built-in pop filter so that sounds can be smoothed out, such as pesky percussive noises which can punctuate your speech. It truly makes a difference, and a choice of polar patterns further helps ensure everything sounds just right.

The ideal starter pack for anyone interested in streaming, the HyperX QuadCast USB Microphone/HyperX Cloud Alpha Headset bundle normally costs $240. Right now you can pick up the bundle from HP for just $120, which is a great price for two excellent mid-range options. Check it out now and you can be streaming in superior style very soon.

We gave this Asus OLED laptop a four star review — it’s half off today

If you’re looking for a device we once described as a “powerful OLED laptop, done right,” you’re in luck. Among the many laptop deals happening at the moment, Amazon has reduced the price of the Asus VivoBook Pro 16X OLED laptop to $800 from $1,450. Yup, that’s very nearly 50% off with a huge $650 taken off the price. The laptop might be over two years old now, but it remains a great option, especially at this price. If you want to know more, we’re here to tell you all about it.

Why you should buy the Asus VivoBook Pro 16X OLED laptop
We reviewed the Asus VivoBook Pro 16X OLED laptop back in 2022, and the only real criticism we could come up with was its “boring design” and a “gimmicky” DialPad. Other than that, we loved that it “lasted over 16 hours on a single charge in our light web-browsing test” -- something which is impressive given its 16-inch OLED screen. As we’ve seen while analyzing OLED technology, the self-lit pixels that make the screen look so good use up a lot of power, which can be a problem for laptops. Not this one though. A sharper and better looking screen is great for watching movies on the move, but it’s also an all-round more pleasant experience while you work.

For one of the best gaming laptop deals of the week, head over to Best Buy. Today, you can buy an HP Victus 16 gaming laptop for $900 instead of $1,400. Being able to buy a laptop with such a huge screen for this price is pretty great. In the past, we’ve described the Victus range as a “new gaming brand [making] its mark” and this is a good example of what HP has accomplished in recent years. If you’re looking for a new gaming laptop, we think you’ll like this one. Read on while we take you through what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the HP Victus 16 gaming laptop
We reviewed a slightly different HP Victus 16 in 2022, but since then HP has gone from strength to strength. Crucially, the two models share a similar design. This HP Victus 16 also has a backlit keyboard with white lighting and it feels “great ... with deep travel and very snappy switches that provide excellent responsiveness for both gamers and productivity users.” It also has a larger touchpad, and the minimalist design looks eye catching with its V logo on the back.
