A high-end headset helps you become fully immersed in the game you’re playing, whether you’re playing solo or online with friends. If you game on Xbox, PC, or Nintendo Switch, you can now grab the excellent SteelSeries Arctis 9X for 50% off its list price during Best Buy’s early Black Friday sale. Normally $200, the Arctis 9X wireless headset is on sale for only $100 at Amazon and Best Buy. This model works wirelessly with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC–it’s officially licensed by Xbox.
This headset doesn’t need a USB dongle to pair with your console, and using Bluetooth, it can be used on both your Xbox and a mobile device so that you can take calls while gaming. Or alternatively, you can use it with any Bluetooth-enabled device, such as Nintendo Switch, making this a multifunctional and versatile headset. The SteelSeries Arctis range–especially higher-end models like the 9X–offers a good mix of mid to high sounds that have a crisp delivery, and the headset itself can easily be worn for several hours thanks to its plush design and superb headband design.
The earcups have a generous amount of padding, and the two-piece headband design–an adjustable elastic band reinforced by steel–significantly reduces head strain in our experience. Out of the box, you’ll get up to 20 hours of battery life from a full charge, and for games where teamwork is essential, it has a bidirectional microphone that allows your voice to sound clear.
For another can’t-miss Xbox deal, check out this early Black Friday offer on the 1TB WD Black C50 expansion card for Xbox Series X|S. This is a convenient and simple way to add some more storage capacity to your Xbox console, as it’s plug-and-play design works right out of the box and doesn’t compromise on the key SSD features of that console.
