Don’t pass up the chance to purchase a new gaming headset at a discount. Even with Prime Day already over, there are still some deals that will allow you to stretch your budget to acquire high-end gaming headsets that you never thought you’d be able to buy.

Best Prime Day gaming headset deals still available

If you decide to buy a gaming headset now, you’ll be able to enjoy significant discounts even though Amazon’s Prime Day is already over. You might even discover an option that’s better than the one that you’re originally planning to buy. However, as with any online sale, there’s always the risk that other shoppers will beat you to the available stocks of your preferred gaming headset. There’s no telling how long the remaining Prime Day gaming headset deals will last as Amazon’s stocks may be quick to go, so if you see a deal that you like, you shouldn’t hesitate on completing the purchase as soon as possible. If you stop to think about it, you might find the gaming headset sold out once you come back around to finally buy it.

There’s a wide variety of gaming headsets, with several major brands and different models to choose from. At first, it may look like a daunting task because of the sheer number of options that are available to you, and that’s even before you factor in the price cuts that you can take advantage of with the Prime Day gaming headset sales that are still available. To help you with your search for the perfect deal, we’ve gathered some of the best remaining offers for gaming headsets this Prime Day. The amount of savings that you’ll get with each headset may vary, and there’s still a lot of reading to do to figure out the gaming headset for you, but here’s the best place to start your hunt for the device that you’ll purchase for Prime Day.

Should you buy a new gaming headset from last-minute Prime Day sales?

You’ll still see significant price cuts with Prime Day gaming headset deals, so if you see an offer that you like, you should definitely push through with a purchase. It’s unknown if there will be a better deal for the gaming headset that you spotted in the future, so if you want to feel the advantages of owning a gaming headset as soon as possible without paying full price for the accessory, you should buy one in the aftermath of Amazon’s annual shopping event. Gaming headset makers are always rolling out new features, but it won’t make sense to keep holding off on buying the accessory while waiting for these features as you’d find it difficult to play some of the most popular games without one. There’s no better time than now to buy a new gaming headset, and fortunately, you’ll be able to enjoy significant savings when purchasing one because of the Prime Day discounts that are still available.

It’s true that gaming headsets aren’t really a requirement for you to finish single-player games and join online multiplayer games, but the experience is completely different if you wear one while playing. With the audio being coursed through the gaming headset, you’ll feel like you’re actually in the game, compared with blasting the sounds through speakers that not only feel jarring but also could disturb people in your home. The microphones of gaming headsets also make it possible to openly communicate with your teammates regarding your strategies during online multiplayer games, so you don’t have to waste precious time typing your thoughts on a keyboard. Everything just works better if you have a gaming headset, and gamers who are serious about their hobby shouldn’t spend one more day without owning one.

How to choose a gaming headset after Prime Day

There’s a daunting number of brands and models included in Prime Day gaming headset sales, but if you want a quick snapshot of the top choices, check out Digital Trends’ best gaming headsets. Some of the most popular names are SteelSeries, HyperX, Astro, Logitech, Turtle Beach, and Razer, all of which are solid options. These brands offer different models for gaming headsets, but the general rule is that you should get one that maximizes your budget. With Prime Day’s discounts, you’ll be able to buy a gaming headset that’s usually out of your preferred price range – you just need to be patient while you look for the listing that’s perfect for you.

The primary function of gaming headsets is for deeper immersion in the games that you’re playing. You should hear every audio detail, including every falling object, opening door, and approaching footsteps, so you can better appreciate the work that developers have poured into their projects. This means that audio quality is very important, so you should be looking for gaming headsets with top-of-the-line performance. They can also spell the difference between winning and losing, as high-quality gaming headsets may give you a slight advantage over your enemies by helping you locate where they are or figure out their next move. Gaming headsets are also used for communicating with teammates during online multiplayer matches, so a clear microphone is required if you want your voice to be heard. You can go either wired or wireless for your gaming headset, and while wired headsets are often seen as offering more stable connections, the technology in wireless headsets has developed to make the difference between them negligible, so you can freely choose them to avoid the hassle of tangled wires. Last but not least, gaming headsets should be comfortable to wear, as you might be using them for several hours at a time. Look for those with a generous amount of padding on the earcups and the frame, so there will be no hard parts that are pressing into your head while you play that may distract you from what’s happening on the screen.

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch

While gaming PCs are great, if you're the type of person who wants a more plug and play experience and to sit at the TV, then a PS5 or Xbox makes a lot of sense. That said, there aren't a ton of great deals on the consoles themselves right now, although there are still quite a few good bundle deals that are worth grabbing. To that end, we've gone out and collected our favorite Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals, so you can pick whichever one sparks your fancy.
Xbox Series S 1TB + 1TB Storage Expansion Card -- $450 $500 10% off

The Xbox Series S is the less powerful but cheaper option out of the newest generation Xbox line. When comparing the Xbox Series S versus the Xbox Series X, the Series S takes a hit in all the component categories. That means it's not quite as fast. But if you're not hung up on getting the optimal performance out of your system, you'll actually notice very few differences. The two biggest ones are the Series S's inability to play in 8K, and its lack of a disc drive. Most people don't even have 8K TVs, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're alright with downloading all of your games straight to the console's memory (and you have a separate DVD or Blu-Ray player), the Series S will work fine. It's quite a bit smaller anyway, and easier to fit on a shelf.

Insignia 32-inch F20 HD TV -- $80 $130 38% off

If you don't mind skipping 4K Ultra HD resolution and a massive screen in favor of a lower price, then you'll want to purchase the 32-inch Insignia F20 Series HD Fire TV. You'll be able to watch your favorite shows on HD resolution, and because the TV supports HDMI ARC, it can send audio directly from its HDMI port to a compatible soundbar or AV receiver to remove the necessity of an extra cable.
