SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro first launched years ago, but there's a few compelling reasons that it's stayed firmly near the top of our best Xbox headsets list. While you can certainly find other headsets that do something better, the Arctis Nova Pro is a phenomenal jack-of-all-trades, being well suited to practically every endeavour.

That's especially true thanks to its multi-platform compatibility. Many headsets are only suited for a particular console or just meant for PC, but the Arctis Nova Pro is perfectly compatible with Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5. If you're someone that enjoys playing games across multiple devices, this compatibility is a feature you need to prioritize.

Seeing this headset knocked down from its normal price of $250 to just $175 for Black Friday means that this is the time to upgrade if you've been wanting to get something a bit higher-end for a while.

The only caveat here is that this is the wired variant. The Arctis Nova Pro is also available as a wireless headset, but if you want the wireless version, you'll need to cough up some extra cash. The wireless variant normally runs at $350, but is currently similarly discounted to just $270.
