With another round of big sales events coming up, we're about to be inundated with price cuts on all kinds of gaming gear once again.
Amazon's next event, 'Big Deal Days', starts tomorrow and will run October 10-11, but we've spotted some extremely tempting early Prime Day gaming headset deals which mean you can avoid the whole sales rush with some quality picks going right now. I've been covering gaming hardware for years now and these are the early PS5 headset deals I'd jump on right now if I were shopping for myself.
From a simple wired solution that'll keep your investment below the $50 mark, through to value-busting mid-range wireless options, and all the way up to premium sets, you can pick up some of the best PS5 headsets available right now for great prices.
The Razer Kaira X is often what I recommend for folks looking for a cheap or budget PS5 headset given its simple plug-and-play setup and Razer-quality audio; that can be yours for just $39.99 at Amazon right now (was $59.99) - a lowest-ever price. At the top end of the range, there's another lowest-ever price and that's on the Astro A50; not a new headset but still one of the best premium options. That's down to $207.42 at Amazon (was $299.99) which is nearly a third off.
However, my absolute best pick for value for money today would have to be the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 wireless PS5 headset. This wonderful headset, imbued with all that Turtle Beach goodness, is down to an impulse purchase-worthy $79.95 at Amazon (was $149.95). It's been a few bucks lower once before, but at this price, it offers incredible bang for buck value, especially on a wireless headset and one that offers excellent audio quality and microphone excellence. You can find more information on this deal, and others, below.

Save $30 - However, if you are interested in the latest version, then we can happily point you toward the 700 Gen 2 MAX which is down to its record-low price! Not quite as value-busting, and demanding a bit more of an investment, but still an excellent headset to go for now. It looks almost identical to its non-MAX brethren but offers a bit more.

There's always going to be the question of whether you should wait for further discounts this close to Prime Day 2 or Black Friday, however, these prices are so good, and offer levels of value that you can have confidence in and be happy with if you want to avoid the sales.
