Amazon is currently offering the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wired Gaming Headset with GameDAC for $155.30 shipped. Normally going for $250, this 38% discount or solid $94 price drop marks a new second-best price we’ve tracked for this colorway while coming within $5 of the all-time low set back over Black Friday. We have seen the white colorway go for $23 less once before, but that was a short-lived offer. Working with your PC and PlayStation 5, the Arctis Pro + GameDAC is the “first Hi-Res gaming headset released.” What that means is this headset supports playback of WAV, FLAC, and DSD files in up to 96kHz, 24-bit for true lossless audio quality. You will also find support for DTS surround sound so you can hear where enemies are coming from with “incredibly accurate positional cues.” In addition to the audio here, you have an integrated microphone that will pick you up clearly while rejecting background noise. Plus, on the GameDAC there’s an OLED menu that lets you dial in on-ear ChatMix, voice settings, and more. Take a closer look in our announcement coverage, then head below for more.
You can save some cash by instead going with the Razer Kraken Gaming Headset for $45. Like the SteelSeries above, this headset is wired only, though you have wider platform compatibility. The microphone here also retracts into the earcup while you’re traveling or not talking. Audio controls are in-line with the audio cable for on-the-fly volume adjustment and microphone mute toggling. There is even virtual 7.1 surround sound when used with a Windows PC so you can better hear where enemies are coming from. Made from bauxite aluminum, the Razer Kraken headset is designed to be lightweight and portable for on-the-go use.

We’re still tracking the Razer Nommo Pro 2.1-Channel Gaming Speaker System marked down to $399, the all-time low price. This THX-Certified sound system will deliver premium audio to your gaming battlestation alongside Dolby virtual surround sound for “powerful cinematic immersion.” Here you will receive two speakers with a standalone downward-firing subwoofer to provide “desk-shaking, room-thumping low end sound” alongside integrated Razer Chroma RGB lighting which can be configured in the Razer Synapse software. There are four ways of getting audio to these speakers including 3.5mm, USB, optical, and Bluetooth so you could even stream music from your phone while you’re not gaming.
